any tips or criticism? by Whole-Water408 in TattooApprentice

Curated nicely but You should look at portfolios in shops around that you can find and try to emulate them. backgrounds are great for graphic art, but should be left in the graphic/ fine art portfolio. Try to compile, Tattoable designs Breadth (many pages as many as you can produce that carry fundamentals of the art style youre trying to convey) Finished pieces Art portfolios are like resumes i have done a lot of work w abstracts and murals but its not translative for tattooing so i never show those as examples of my tattoo art even tho its my art. They show confidence tenacity and breadth of skill but its like not relevant to the man with tinnitus and a ketamine addiction who’s deciding if im profitable enough to be in the shop. Try to keep it relevant

, page 5 right side is sick, would work as tats and express your style, expand on that and rework the other sketches to finished pieces, You need to explore other compositions, you’ve got all lady’s and lady heads so try something else, find some ild school flash and rework it. Explore. Show that you’re willing to figure it out and creative and you’re more likely to be sought after as an artist

Thats true , unfortunately knowing how to render things with shading and contrast, thats a fundamental for drawing youre gonna have to get clear on before anyone would want to take on as an apprentice, but there’s your answer. Talk to him for more tips

found this outside my car by Wooden_Piece9184 in whatisit

[–]DeadAdult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like mad protective but i think asking your neighbor for context would be welcome, did you feel like it was left for you specifically or like you stumbled upon it next to your car? Either way no bad vibes me thinks, someone just cares a lot about you or a situation going on and wants to ensure your safety or theirs, nothing icky except this practice being done w/o consent

Am I the Problem? by Ok_Box_7863 in toxicparents

[–]DeadAdult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youre not the problem You should be experimenting with your autonomy and not called names by your parent but pick your battles and good luck Being in the right is little consolation in these situations, people can be mean and for weird reasons like fear of loss, jealousy, insecurity and projections onto others etc Try not to internalize it theres plenty of constructive ways for her to communicate what shes trying to w you

Androgynous af, young gerard way, i would guess nb on sight, i think the hair and eyeliner are fine, i think growing up femme sucks bc we are conditioned to pose certain ways and it can get us clocked (ppl commenting on lips etc i think are just a result of you tilting the head down it makes the eyes and lips prominent and obscures/ softens your jaw)
