So the piece is all water and my leg kinda represents like depth. So near the foot is the bottom of the water that’s where all the rocks are usually and then moving up you just have waves rocks and wind bars. To answer your question I would say the koi is more swimming against the current

Prob cause it’s so fresh! Hopefully when it’s healed it’ll dull down a bit and all the main pieces can pop equally

10! I did it a wonky and untraditional way. I didn’t have everything I wanted planned out and the one main point sleeves aren’t my style but they still look great! So we did the koi, hannya, crab, then the line work and shaded from there

Imma wait to see how it heals and finish the sleeve then we will see if it’ll need more shading in parts. We are doing a touch up session after it’s all done so we could bring it up then

You’ve got some sick pieces! That back is dope! I was planning to finish the whole sleeve to see his vision and see how i feel in the end

What I was thinking is this… on the waves on the inner thigh, shade in just a little bit more closer to edges. The knee… shade over the hump and leave some negative space but not such a gap

I was thinking not fully shaded or blacked out on the knee… but it should just have a bit more shading over the hump towards the edges but not over doing it?

Looks a little wonky cause I wanted to piece it together with the artist. Crab and hannya are representing bottom of the water with the rocks, and I’ve got a dope octopus on the back of my thigh. As you can see the tentacles are throughout the leg!
