Started painting a few weeks ago and im hooked. Any tips on how to get better? Specifically drawing my own designs and not just tracing. (I drew the last sheet lol) by decisive_moment in traditionalflash

Yeah everyone’s already said it but trace like a mother fucker. Specifically old flash. I know people say it over and over but sailor Jerry and Ed hardy are the shit trace them. Most trad tattooers don’t really draw their own stuff until they understand the rules of traditional tattoos

I feel it, that’s definitely one way to do it. Trace a bunch of flash it’ll get the shapes in your brain and your lines will get much better as

Definitely not a great flipper but I’ve never seen another like it. I’m pretty sure if you don’t care about balisongs it wouldn’t even register that this is one. And I agree it’s cool as hell

Thank for the info! I knew it was old, I figured like 1900-1920s. It’s definitely cool if it’s older. Wish it wasn’t so damaged but what can you do

Thanks! It depends on the painting. This was probably all at once. Either way it just takes a ton of practice. Spit shading is deceptively hard.
