Hey everyone! I've been focusing on hand-drawn vector designs with detailed cross-hatching

Aiming for clean, stencil-ready linework. Would really appreciate any feedback, critiques, or thoughts on these pieces! 🍻

I’ve been curious about getting into tattooing for the last couple years, but I don’t know where to start. What is wanted in a portfolio? As a tattoo artist how did you get into the industry? I know states have different laws, but would school in portland be worth it? Any guidance would be amazing! ☺️

I’ve drawn this Lautrec up …feeling more contrast is needed…but not sure where? Maybe it’s in the line weight too? Pls help lol I got lost in the sauce

I haven’t posted here in a while but I recently got an apprenticeship a few months ago and wanted to share my most recent skin.

The prompt given by my mentor was “Dark horror mixed with feminine florals” in the spirit of Halloween, so I took the Huntress’ mask from dead by daylight and combined it with some Russian chamomile - Definitely my biggest challenge yet and there’s a lot of areas which need work but I’m so happyyy

I know I know, I draw too many angels. I know the bottom text is fucked, and in all honestly this piece is a tad bit small so if it were tattooed, the tattoos on the cherub’s arms would not be doable or last long. So I do need to make the piece bigger, OR remove the tattoos on its arms altogether but it looks sort of naked without it. Basically I’m asking for tips on shading, I had some references but I drew my own pose and my own face.

Only been drawing and painting for about a year and a half give or take pretty happy with where I have come in that time. Not sure if I'll ever have the opportunity to apprentice or anything with where I am at in life but it is fun to dream and paint anyways.

Looking for c and c on anything.

I think my biggest weaknesses right now are; impatience between steps, uncertainty where to place blacks, picking the right colors (specifically green and blues always end up way to dark), subject matters (I like what I like which I think causes repetitiveness on my side), scale, and sheet composition.

Especially looking for suggestions on how to take better pictures of my flash. Cause by God I have no understanding of lighting and framing for pics.
