This is the breakdown of the design process I’ve been struggling to find-- THANK YOU SO MUCH!!🤗
I did the rose and the script video and got good results on paper! Thank you for making my day❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your videos, I have had my tattoo machine and kit for over a month now. I'm so ready to use it, but I'm learning more and more from you... I don't believe I'm reading yet. I believe I will be soon because of your useful videos. Thank you
Thank you so much dude, I’ve been struggling on my Wacom tablet and always get frustrated with my drawing. Seeing this video has given me hope 😊😊😊
Love your videos man! Did my first tattoos this week on myself! The info is great! Thanks a lot man! Keep grinding!
thanks man
I love this it’s helpful I’m a beginner
Very good lesson! I like this channel
That was awesome, you made that look so easy, I've been worried about tattoo design and have been sticking with learning fundamentals, but I soon will have a tablet to do tattoo design on and you nailed that demo. I will be watching this video again for sure, great stuff thanks.
im doing it on paper, its possible! just instead of layering colors, i'm layering values of grey. first layer = very very light grey, second = a little darker, and so on!. in the end, u just erase it all and only the ink will remain
and also, if you erase very gently, only the darker tones will remain
Dude you're awesome! You sound intelligent and are great at communicating. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and expertise with us.
Thank you so much man I’m glad I can help
awesome. super helpful. thanks a lot!!!!
Really like this content, could you post more, thanks!!!!
Thank you so much for this channel like seriously
Super! Thank you!
great video! can you also go more into detail about what canvas size we should be using for tattoo designs on procreate & also what PPI/DPI we should be using ? I’m having trouble with the pixilation/quality of my designs, & I’m not really sure where I went wrong. I’d love your input, Thank you
I find 400 plus dpi really helps with that, sometimes you may need to finish the design and merge some layers as the higher the dpi the less layers you can have and A4 is generally a good size because your body portions are generally that in size, like forearm is about a5, same with upper portion of leg, lower portion on leg, arms, chest, is all fairly close to A4
Thankyou for this tutorial its super informative would you please do a tutorial on adjusting a traditional style tattoo gun in the near future thankyou regards Rick Gill
what settings do you have for your drawing on procreate I'm having a hard time finding the right settings (like pen/brush how do you make it so your lines are like snapping the way they are)
Thought the same thing think it’s to do with stabilisation
This
The “streamline” setting when you tap on the brush settings.
Thanks
That was so helpful and practical
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for the video. What brush in procreate were you using?
You make it look so easy to use ipad I tried drawing tablet and it wasn't so easy for me to use.
Would you be willing to make more of these? Make it a series?
I plan on being a tattoo artist bc I love art and want to do art for a living. I plan on being a tattoo artist and go to college at the same time for art. I know college isn’t required for tattoo artists but I’d like to have it in case tattooing doesn’t work out, if I want to get a better paying job or if tattooing doesn’t pay enough in my area.
in my case, im in college but the area which i study doesnt pay so well where i live (philosophy), and i always enjoyed drawing, so here we go
good look for u
I got a Samsung tab s6 lite, was only 300, way more affordable and is compatible with an S pen.
They are smaller than ipads ,but it seems to be doing good so far.
They have light boxes at dollar tree for anyone needing one on a budget!
Love it
10 gauge is the same as .30
Ok so for the drawing calander is there a way to get it where we can use it ourselves? not familiar with google sheets and it says I can only view it. Would love to have this resource at my disposal
Love your show. Just wondering how one would get somewhat accurate of print from zooming in and out of the arm. My thinking is one would have to make a ball park guess on how big to print transfer cause the arm size is arbitrary unless you have the arm size dimensions to begin with?
U can resize it on the app
would it be best to create artwork on an ipad rather than paper for your portfolio or could i do a mix of both?
As always a great video, thanks! 🤟I ask you for one tip, please: 🙏
The ratio between arm and drawing is perfect but the arm you have on the iPad is obviously not in 1:1 scale/ratio so, how do you PRINT the right size stencil? Do you try multiple times on the thermal printer until you get the right size? Thank you
I use the 12.9 iPad so it’s very close to the size in the screen when I actually print it off.
@@Tattooing101 Thanx for the answer! Unfortunately I bought the iPadPro 11'' last year for money and comfort of transportation and now I regret it !!! 😭
Your would be the exact size of a sheet of printer paper then so you would be able to print it out exactly the same as on the iPad
@@Tattooing101 Thank goodness, thank you very much !!!
You can set canvas size in cm/inches instead of pixels so its pretty easy to print right size
For a newbie how can you tell a Neo Traditional rose from a American Traditional rose.
I like these videos learning alot, nice to watch you work.
Neo Traditional Will have varying Line Weights while Traditional will have Consistent line weights
@@JayDaLion ok thx for answering 🙂 👍
Which brushes donu use?
Nice hair
Exactly What J Davis said. Except you make this look easy because you are excellent at drawing where as I am the opposite
It has proven to be my brick wall........
Consistent practice is the only way to overcome this hurdle. Progress may seem slow but I assure you if you keep at it you'll definitely see an improvement. Keep it up!
You could start by tracing other designs for practice! Or look at an example image for reference when you draw it. Try starting with designs that have bold outlines and less small details like traditional, cartoon/anime, etc. Really anything that could be classified as “flash”. Those styles can definitely have a lot of detail but it’s a good place to start as compared to something like realism. I also think understanding light/shading is really important..lack of shading creates less dimension and too much shading can make it look bad.
I am mostly speaking from drawing experience..I barely just started tattooing but I took a lot of art courses and drew a lot in my free time in my teens and even did some competitions. Tracing is where I started and I went absolutely ham on the shading for a while and it made it look shitty lol and it took a year or two before I learned the way I should shade. Eventually you get muscle memory or a visual concept of what something should look like..I think there’s a big misconception that people who can draw just bang out a beautiful piece from the start without any errors. It takes a lot of practice but it’s also not impossible. I know some people who are extremely talented at drawing and they have to sketch first, draw reference lines, use reference images, trace, etc. Everything you do takes practice and use whatever references you need for as long as you need to. There’s no shame in that. I just got a tattoo the other day that is absolutely beautiful and my favorite one so far..the guy that did it had a reference image pulled up while tattooing it to reference the shading and stuff. In fact most of my tattoos the person who did them used the reference image to look at.
I knew that's what you would say, I've watched a lot of your content and I heard you say it but I thought there was a way around it I've somehow convinced myself I couldn't draw but I have finally listened and I've officially been practising all sorts of drawing and I'm accumulating pens and pencils and rulers etc. I've realised it takes discipline and effort but I'll keep trying and perhaps one day I might get to show you some stuff and get your opinion.
Also it's pretty cool to get a response from you.
Good Lookin out .
Love from New Zealand
@@Leahweahbeah Really appreciate your response. Everything is a little easier with some supportive advice and good guidance from good people.
What a difference some words make :)
Right now I just have an iPhone it’s super hard but IM TRYIN I like old fashion paper or have them pick something out n me fix it to their likes….I’d love an iPad but can afford but I do have an old galaxy could I use tht by any chance I do have procreate on my iphone
How can I add this app or other body parts to a layer? I’m always drawing a new one 🤷🏻♀️
A couple other people have asked, but what brushes are you using for the red and blue??
Just a pencil brush
I really want to get into tattooing and I've watched countless hours of tutorials and even bought a machine to practice on some fake skin but I can't draw for shit. It seems like most tattoo artists have always been great at drawing and that's what makes them great tattoo artists as well. I guess it will just take a shitload of practice for me to get decent enough at drawing. Is art school helpful? Like is it helpful enough to justify the costs of attending school??
Art School is not necessary, especially if you're learning to draw for tattooing. The only way to improve, is to keep practicing your drawings everyday. There is no shortcut to it just consistent practice and over time you'll get better as you go.
Try tracing over stuff to start w or look at an image and try to draw it go all the way even if it fails to look like the image then try again my biggest mistake was I’d start n see it not right and start over and over and over when I should’ve completed it and tried again a lot of hours is put into this!!
I wanna learn tattooing but I suck at drawing, I’m great at tracing though, just getting discouraged
🤘☮️🤘
So many questions
what program are you using for your drawings??
Procreate
@@Tattooing101 thanks!
Also another question….how come I can tattoo on fake skin like a beast but when it comes to real skin the mags don’t use the same my lining isn’t as good…..I did this awesome snake on myself and then my dog got sprayed by a skunk n I walked into it and I did what I could at the time to finish tattoo but my eyes were just wat ring to bad THEN had to give her numerous baths and the way I leaned on tub my tattoo got completely wet n even some layers came completely off when she fought me I literally put the skin back on top where it was suppose to be and it healed actually pretty good and didn’t really scar the color jus didn’t hold only outline so I finished it prolly lil to early but so far it’s holding the color and no bad scabbing or anything….I just dk why I can work w mags on fake skin so we’ll but not my own….I can’t make to to the end of the line and I keep trying n I feel it digs more at the skin so why can’t I hit the spot right?? Should I take out needles even more?? I am one of those tht like the needle out a tab bit further to see where I’m going instead of guessing or tracing…..thanks ur amazing and have helped me so much wish I could afford ur class!!!!!
Do it have to be a iPad pro
Yes. You need an apple pencil
Ideally anyway. You can draw on procreate with your finger if necessary
What app is that
Procreate
Procreate
Can anybody actually use real paper and pen I’m looking for help to drawing but I realised no one actually does it anymore they all in iPads fak my life
Yes you can use pencil and paper
That’s how I do it! Just get tracing paper. Use it the same way they use layers on procreate. Start your sketch on the first piece of tracing paper and from there keep putting another sheet on top until you get what you want. From there you can print it out or whatever for a stencil or you can use a light pad to put it on some watercolor paper for a sheet.
I feel u I’m old fashion I still stick to pen pencil paper eraser I feel more confident because the lines I draw on procreate aren’t as original or same it kinda tries to perfect ur lines into what It thinks is right….
"by the time its all set and done with"
Also another question….how come I can tattoo on fake skin like a beast but when it comes to real skin the mags don’t use the same my lining isn’t as good…..I did this awesome snake on myself and then my dog got sprayed by a skunk n I walked into it and I did what I could at the time to finish tattoo but my eyes were just wat ring to bad THEN had to give her numerous baths and the way I leaned on tub my tattoo got completely wet n even some layers came completely off when she fought me I literally put the skin back on top where it was suppose to be and it healed actually pretty good and didn’t really scar the color jus didn’t hold only outline so I finished it prolly lil to early but so far it’s holding the color and no bad scabbing or anything….I just dk why I can work w mags on fake skin so we’ll but not my own….I can’t make to to the end of the line and I keep trying n I feel it digs more at the skin so why can’t I hit the spot right??
