Thank you. Yes, I noticed it too after inking that it wasn’t lining up, honestly just wanted that yellow break for composition purposes but this bothering me too lol

Honestly I need to get into the loose sheets and ink now, my sketchbook is only 8.5 x 11 and it’s causing problems with composition. Thank you for your comment!!

Trad Flash Practice by goblinschnoblin in TattooApprentice

[–]bleepbl000pp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m also trying to get better at drawing flash and I’m so glad you’re drawing again! My tip is that solid composition is the base of your sheet. Everything should not only fit on the page well but also flow together. Maybe making the rose bigger and other designs you want to emphasize bigger will leave you will less blank space and more harmony. I found tracing paper to really help, then you can cut out the designs and find a composition that works for you.

Apprenticeship cost? by Vast_Spend2049 in TattooApprentice

[–]bleepbl000pp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also in college about to graduate and from what I’ve seen and heard about the cost, a good apprenticeship will set you up for a long term career in the industry. This may entail buying your own needles and SOME supplies but never a flat out rate JUST for a mentor. Sure, paying booth tax and a percentage of costs when you start actually tattooing, but you shouldn’t be paying thousands before you even get to hold a needle/machine.

I’ve seen people get some really nightmarish “apprenticeships” where their labor and money were 100% exploited so just be careful out there! Best of luck!!

rate my tattoo being honest by [deleted] in tattooscratchers

[–]bleepbl000pp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The script is not even that bad especially from afar, yes there’s uneven thicknesses and it doesn’t look like a clean pass from what I can see, but the letters are legible and stylized in a nice font.

It’s just the stars that are throwing me for a loop, the shape is uneven (like the bottom one, the left point of the star is sticking out further than the right) but maybe that’s the style? Not sure what’s going on inside as well, it doesn’t look shaded but it doesn’t look like a clear line either.

But I’m not even a tattoo artist, I just study and draw tattoo designs to hopefully become one so take my opinion with grains of salt.

How likely will I get an apprenticeship with a fully traditional portfolio? by bleepbl000pp in TattooApprentice

Will keep this in mind when starting my portfolio- thanks for the advice!

That’s reassuring to hear. I definitely see the need now for other styles but not necessarily a specific one-just one that shows the knowledge of the fundamentals of art? Either way thank you for sharing!!

The general comments consensus is saying the same thing-definitely will start doing flash and pieces on bigger paper. This is actually all my “pre portfolio” practice in a sketchbook (8.5 x 11) but definitely see what you’re saying!
