Forma correta de sombrear na Tattoo Old School

This tattoo used two cartridges, one 9Rs and one 7M1, and the Cheyenne Hawk machine. The black ink was used neat, not diluted. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...   / old.tattooepiercing   I started in the tattoo world long before I thought about being a tattoo artist. I think it's very important to know how to draw before becoming a tattoo artist. I've always worked with drawing. I started making signs when I was about 11 years old. I worked in arcades, clothing stores, bars, and cafes—all kinds of businesses. After I turned 18, I started tattooing, but I was already drawing a lot of tattoo designs. I loved copying designs from tattoo magazines. Not every design can be tattooed; over time, it loses quality, and I identified with old-school tattoos because they last longer and don't lose their details. When I see tattoos that are more than ten years old and still intact, I'm very happy because in a tattoo, what matters is the healed state. When it's fresh, everything looks beautiful. The colors in old-school tattoos are only used colors that last. Good healing, these are these five colors: black, yellow, red, blue, and green. The simpler it is, the more beautiful it is, because it's simplicity that's so successful to this day. Styles come and go, but the old school stays. When I got my first tattoo, it was on myself; I still have it today. And the first person I tattooed was my mother! To be a good tattoo artist is more about being an artist than just someone who applies ink. You have to express yourself, because applying ink is just a technique. After learning how to apply it, it's just another tool in the artist's hand. I love doing taxidermy (stuffing animals) and I love expressing myself in any texture, like paintings on canvas, wood. I like paintings on canvas because I can go far. When I receive an order to tattoo a design, that design is the client's expectation, and I usually paint the canvas for myself. But I always sell them for prices that cover at least the material, I say the same about taxidermy, as soon as I finish the stuffed animal I sell it for a very affordable price. I have tattoo and canvas taxidermy clients, and it's funny that they are people who specifically buy these products which they want to consume. I have made some trips abroad always wanting to improve my techniques, I have been to some museums to see artists that I admire a lot like Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt's and Van Gogh, these for me are the masters. I've been to tattoo conventions in London and Paris, they're wonderful, and there are always other types of artists at the conventions. A London convention in 2013 was where I first saw a taxidermist! I learned a lot from him. When I return home or to my shop, I'm very inspired at these conventions. My clients are grateful. They always comment on my social media that they felt a difference during my travels. I think it's great to have this connection with other artists. That's why I decided to create this channel to share my experience with you, free of charge. I hope you enjoy it. I'll keep updating myself a lot, and you'd love for me to join you on this journey. I'll always keep my techniques simplified for you, but your drawing style will be up to you. One thing I'll say to you is: always keep drawing and never get discouraged halfway through. Think of it as just a sketch, and it's still the medium, and you're just expressing yourself. In the end, don't rush to finish everything; it's a matter of practice. There are drawings that won't even get past the sketch, but I'll tell you one thing: I have drawings I did many years ago, and out of nowhere, I'd find this drawing and think what a good idea I had that day. Then I'd go and finish it, and someone would always end up buying it. There are drawings in my store that are on the wall that I don't think will sell anymore. I always sell them. So don't get discouraged. The secret is to practice. The rules I'm passing on about prostitution are very important because they define the space. An artist I greatly admire is Caravaggio. His sketches were imperfect. He only marked a few commas, and in painting, he didn't even define the drawing. This level is my dream. So, we will always be subject to learning, and each day we will be learning. Don't take criticism as something bad, take it as learning. I always receive criticism on my drawings. I love it because evolution is a mistake I don't see. Other people's eyes are important. There is a profession of critic for a reason. So, don't get discouraged at any moment. And the beginning is always bad, regardless of what you do. Beauty thank you very much to everyone and all the best, and subscribe !!!! ...
