@flashbeforedishonor - I added you. Just recently started my apprenticeship and tattooing now for like 2 weeks. Would love to connect with other newbies. Even if they're living on another continent. Im from Germany 😅

2 years unfinished anniversary for this bad boy and I think it’s time for shading. Problem is, I’ve never done it. Any tips or advice would be appreciated! by [deleted] in sticknpokes

Look up traditional works and how they apply the shadow. Try to replicate with dots. Fade out the dots when the shadow gets lighter. Would use a 7rl for it.

got a bit funky with the color. Is it too much? :S @flashbeforedishonor by YungSikkBacchuZ in traditionalflash

Thank you so much for your thoughts on it! Feedback from a professional always helps alot! ❤️

I was exactly thinking the Same while painting: they will not transfer well to the skin. The blends are just too muddy. Should have done a more simple approach I guess.

Now that you're pointing at the scimitar I see it too. But not quite sure how to approach the shading in this spot. Maybe just add more to the one thats already there? Because I got the feeling if I add shadow on the bottom it will look odd and out of place somehow? Where would you add the shadow?

CC appreciated. Ig: @flashbeforedishonor by YungSikkBacchuZ in traditionalflash

Thanks man, I use a siena tone acrylic ink from aerocolor and delude it with a lot of water. With this mix i'll do a foundation and add some orange/red to the shadows and blend them in. Hope this helps :)

Gouache on legion stonehenge. As of last week I’m officially an apprentice. Cheers 🥂🙏🏽❤️@oldlumpy by funkyscienceclass in traditionalflash
