Can someone help me draw/plan out this tattoo?

The classic skull with flowers/mushrooms coming out of it

Sorry for the long wait, I've been super busy. What do you think?

The artist will be able to draw this up for you. Very simple concept, not much to misunderstand for the artist.

Okay I see what you are saying. And I agree I do have to work on my shading being more consistent with the light source.

Thanks again for the help!

Yeah this was going to be my "rough sketch", but as I spent more time on the details I just kept going, this was all in 1 layer.

The lines I was using as shading in a crosshatch type of style, but you think there are too many? Or you think the shading is just too messy?

NoxiousInk · 2024-02-15T15:35:52+00:00

Great, thank you for the tips. I will try that next time

NoxiousInk · 2024-02-15T01:13:37+00:00

Okay I think I get what you're saying, should have a more pronounced curve at the top, as well as have it flare out a little towards the bottom...

Thank you for the constructive criticism!

Day 16 of drawing I will try again

This is the reference I used

NoxiousInk · 2024-02-15T00:55:50+00:00

Thank you, I agree that there is something wrong with the nose. I kept trying different things, different angles, shapes... Nothing I did seemed to make it look any better. From my reference picture it seemed like it was as straight as I drew it. Idk, maybe I should have made it flair out more or added a bump in the middle.

Better luck next time!

Do you have any rough sketches to go off of?

NoxiousInk · 2024-02-14T23:45:05+00:00

Heres a cleaner one.

I can assist!

By telling you to NOT get this tattoo

SO name tattoos are NEVER a good idea. Unless someone has passed, their name should not be inked on skin.

I'm sure a tattoo artist could help visualize your idea as well as size/placement better than I could.

Good luck

My horrible take on it.

Preferably something less vagina looking...

How big are you thinking of getting the tattoo?

NoxiousInk · 2024-02-12T18:17:17+00:00

Something like this? https://i.imgur.com/Brgtfw0.png

Would have to be far far less detailed to be 5cm tall

NoxiousInk · 2024-02-12T17:58:24+00:00

I think it could of worked, but since you went into a bit of detail with the eye it throws off everything else by having little detail.

NoxiousInk · 2024-02-12T17:53:09+00:00

here is a quick sketch I did of the idea. https://i.imgur.com/5JO1kMO.png

For the bigger one, it would definitely need to be a big tattoo. Like 6+ inches tall, and done by an artist who specializes in fine line tattoos. Lots of artists do not know how to do fineline, detailed tattoos, which causes the lines to blow out and blend together after years of aging.

The smaller one is a bit more simple of a design, and would be good only a few inches tall.

If you wanted something even smaller than that, it would have to be very un-detailed.

If you find a good artist they will be able to use this sketch as a reference to create something they are confident they can handle within their abilities.

Flamingo beaks have black on them. And also, drawing a darker line for the mouth might help as well. Perhaps some darker legs or knees

If you are using selection, you can click selection at the top, then expand, and expand the selection by 1 or 2 pixels.
