super fun and a bit challenging drawing off an old photo of an even older tattoo

anchor

finaly getting some photos off my camera on to the computer
heres a fun anchor tattoo form about a month back

painting step by step

so i missed a few photos along the way

but here we go this is something i ve wanted to do for awhile this is the way I paint

first off I do a small rough sketch

then blow it up to the size I want and refine it and do a bigger sketch

after that I take it to the light table and tansfer it to the watercolor paper

once transferred as on the left I take the image and tape it down to a peice of cardboard

and start painting I start with the light colors first yellows and browns

then move on to the reds and blacks with this painting I wasnt sure how I wanted the moon so I left it till the end

I missed photos of painting the backgroung and the anchor

My photo of the finished piece is a bit blurry
but I pretty happy with the way this came out

if you click on the pick of the painting you can see it more clear

the painting is 30.5 inches by 12 inches

first tattoo at the new shop goes to

picture of the new shop as promised

Kristopher from LA came in

and got this little ditty

Jeff was here with him too and he gets the second tattoo
out of the new station

had fun its allways a good time when Jeff comes for a tattoo

I how ever can never take a good photo of the tattoos on jeff for some reason
also haven't figured out were the best spot to take a good photo in the shop is yet either
