Inner forearm was the darkest part of the coverup which made it the part I was most excited about. I created a shape that used all the tiny light areas to maximum effect, then pushed in a bunch of light opaques to fill out the design. I expect to hit this part of the sleeve three times before it’s finished. Swipe to see the marker drawing plus a shot of halfway through the session when we’d finished the black but hadn’t started the color yet. Thanks Ellis, great visit!

I don’t have any negative opinions about digital artwork (although I don’t agree with AI execs training their products for free off of hardworking artists). As far as my own art goes, I enjoy making use of digital tools in the design process but my goal always is a handcrafted painting or tattoo using classical analog skills. I’ve posted here the reference I used for Limb- you can see how aspects of the reference are pretty rough. I don’t generally take my compositional layout any further than necessary, and leave plenty of room for discovery/invention in the final rendering of the artwork. In this case much of the time spent with the reference was in fine tuning the light, color and value to get the mood just right, although the finished painting includes on-the-fly choices I made while dialing in the nuance of the piece. My process is often a hybrid of digital and analog- but I’ll always love making “real” things.

In the fourth photo you can see the original analog sketches that these came from, starting with 9 one-minute doodles. I chose my favorite three of these doodles and made them into more developed thumbnail sketches, also in pencil. These were transferred to Proceeate where I developed them further- warp and liquify to refine the flow and proportions, plus some painting and blending. These were then printed at full size and hand traced onto the panels using graphite paper. Will post more as they develop.

Sometimes that’s all the time you’ve got.

Working with @cheyenne_tattooequipment @rawpigments @monsterkreations We had a lot of pretty dark stuff to cover here, so in this first pass we got the new design drawn in to maximize the use of existing dark and light areas. Applied strong lines and shading and then packed the whites and off-whites in between. This should settle into a nice foundation; when we do the next pass over this area it will be primed and ready for detail and color. Thanks Jay for the dedication and for sitting so well!

Why did I choose glowing crystals for a coverup? I guess I figured it had been lasered enough that I could go with something lighter in value. Unfortunately, what I didn’t understand at the time was that lasered skin can be hard to do brightly colored tattoos on- it tends to settle kind of dull and milky because of the fine grained scarring caused by the laser. At any rate, a fresh pass can make all the difference, especially after a decade of settling.
