  • I got my dream job on June 9th! I cant wait to get started this Monday on the 24th!!!!!!!! It felt so good to finally quit my retail job!
    I'll still be doing etsy, but I think I'll be taking a break from conventions for a while.
    EDIT: theres an artwork in here that I recently found out is, like, JUST like a drawing by an artist named Audra Auclair. I was not trying to steal this design or anything, I really didnt realize. I must have seen it online a longtime ago and subconsciously remembered it or something! I'm really sorry, I won't take any credit for that piece at all, and you should check out her work! (also, the tattoo that I have that was based off that drawing is vey very different and in a different style).

    Best apprenticeship portfolio I’ve seen by far on UA-cam. Great job. I feel inspired.

    This is a fantastic video! I've been looking for a good video about tattoo apprenticeship portfolio's. I've seen quite a few on UA-cam which wouldn't impress me if I was a tattoo artist looking for an apprentice.
    Yours looks incredibly solid and has given me a few ideas on how I could potentially restructure my own.
    I would love to get a critique from you if you have the time and inclination. If not I just appreciate you sharing your portfolio with us.

    Congrats on your apprenticeship! Your portfolio is stunning!
    I'm thinking of getting an apprenticeship too.. but still unsure if tattooing is really for me. Would love if you could have an update video on being an apprentice, and perhaps talk about the pros & cons?

    This was super helpful. I’ve been into art and drawing for a long time and I’ve always liked tattoos but only recently started thinking about seriously becoming a tattoo artist and I had no idea where to begin. I’m going to have to do a lot of drawing for a portfolio though since my hard has never been tattoo focused and I’ve never even designed a tattoo! Time to get started on that then haha 💪

    Amazing, I love your mind those ideas you have are creative and hilarious! thank you for sharing, Im working on my portfolio and Id like to ask you if it's acceptable to trace realism (photographs of animals or people) and then modifying it with my own style and artistry? I find it hard to perfectly draw realism even though I have done it in oil paint- Like do you perfectly draw those images just by looking at a reference or do you use the transpher paper method?

  • @jordanashsmith
    @jordanashsmith 3 роки тому +2

    Please credit the original artist for this drawing @2:52. Audra Auclair created the original design. Its totally ok to take inspiration from other artists, but copying it with little change to the original doesn't improve your own creativity or show your real talent. I'm not trying to be harsh, I hope you can understand why we should credit others people work!

      hey there, I feel so bad that this ended up being so similar to someone else's artwork! that was never my intention and I had honestly not seen her work before reading your comic. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention and for giving me a new artist to follow!

      @shelby-orbee-newman4442  3 роки тому

      Those were actually prints I had made to sell that I hung onto for the portfolio! I got them done through Shutterfly but you could just as easily do Walgreens or something like that!

      HMSNEAKERZ I’m 22 now, and I was 20 almost 21 when I started. You’re never too old to start living the life you want! We have three people just at my shop who didn’t apprentice until they were in their late 30s!

  • @lifewithmejessiemarie2570

    • @noneyourbusiness341
      @noneyourbusiness341 4 роки тому

      Life with me: Jessie Marie go for physical over digital. it’s too easy to touch up digital artwork, it doesn’t truly reflect artistic ability. physical art doesn’t lie, make a mistake with ink, paint, charcoal or some other medium? well ya best be talented enough to mask it, or have the patience to start again. once you’re ball deep in your apprenticeship and finally pick up a machine when your mentor thinks you’re ready, you can’t choose special brushes or an eraser to get rid of your mistakes

    That flower girl with the crow at looks a whole lot like at 2:54 that you drew for yourself looks a whole lot like an Audra Auclair illustration... like you traced it and removed an eye from a crow, a tag and the moon from her face... if you referenced it maybe make a mention of it because it's kinda gross to have something that looks darn well traced and not at least mention the original artist... I think you git rad skills... but integrity only makes you look better dude.
