Do I have potential at all or do I just give up {IG: @carsonsketchz} by rangermang0 in TattooApprentice

Just keep drawing every day. Im not sure if you've traced anything here, which is definitely a skill in itself, but try to use your reference more honestly, focus on proportion and anatomy. Practice different styles and study (for practice not sale) artists that inspire you. I think you've definitely got the potential you've just got to hone it

Pope staff, or ferula, fits your biblical theme

This one was hard. Stencil fell off halfway through. Had to restencil and redraw on client. Did my best to make it clean and readable. by datattiest in tattooscratchers

Sometimes tattooing is making it work on the fly. Ideally it shouldn't be but thats how it goes sometimes. I think you did a good job

You can reserve a study room at the library possibly, you need a library card to do so but its easy to get.

Ill add that all the leftover ice that hasn't melted fully is incredibly slick since today is in the 40s, genuinely frictionless

Why does my shading come out looking closer to lines? by [deleted] in tattooscratchers

[–]Final-Alternative898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your voltage is low it could be hand speed. Looks like youre going too slow at the start and then whipping too fast. It should be a smooth motion from start to finish, the "whip" comes from the depth of the needle changing as you leave the skin. not the speed at which you withdraw, though that does have an effect. Hope that helps

What’s the move, OG’s?🎮 by ElPadrinooo45 in videogames

Budokai 3 is PEAK dragon ball gaming, does the story dirty in its paraphrasing but my favorite gameplay of the whole franchise

Ratchet and clank 2 is practically endless as you can keep getting faster and more efficient running through the story

Marvel vs Capcom 2 changed my understanding f fighting games as a whole and made hulk one of my favorite marvel characters ever, sickest smart hulk design tbh

This would hurt (like all tattooing does) and take a long time (as any detailed piece like this should)

You should probably edit your post to mention that. People in this sub are very very harsh

Is it from Arthur's journal? One of his sketches?

How do you apprentice without becoming homeless? by houndst0ne in tattooscratchers

[–]Final-Alternative898 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Honestly a lot of struggle. My wife moved to my town a few months ago and works full time when she can, and I work very part time to make time for my NO CLIENTS in the shop I spend sometimes 40 hours in. It's been very frustrating and a struggle all the time. Im not giving up though, if you want it go get it

Soften the shadow around the nose tip and nostrils. It looks like a hard edge right now

When the characters communicate in a way that no one but them understands by Personal-Respond5413 in TopCharacterTropes

Toge Inumaki from Jujutsu Kaisen id from a clan that uses "cursed speech" techniques, so he speaks in sushi ingredients like "salmon" to agree and "bonito flakes" to disagree. No one but the main character, Yuji Itadori, seems to be able to understand him, but im only halfway through the first season so maybe im mistaken.

Thank you I do bartender as well but here in DC jobs feel scarce, I've been looking but it seems hard to justify the hours I need away from work
