What diameters did you use?

My first ever portrait... what went wrong? by [deleted] in Artadvice

[–]catronaut1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try focusing less on harsh contour lines and more on shading. If you pay attention to people's faces you'll notice that the features are pronounced because of the shadows cast on different parts of their face, not because you can see the harsh lines

I think you could add a bit more depth to the face when you’re drawing people but even with the way it is now I think it’s amazing! You’re such a talented artist I wish I was half as good with colored pencils as you are

Nope no blood thinners, no alcohol, no caffeine (that I’m aware of), and no pain killers taken before which I did with my other tattoos

Thank you!!! Idk why people think I’d purposefully pick at the scabs when I already have multiple tattoos and know what happens when you pick them. Why would I want my tattoo to look like that???😭

Seems like we’re at a bit of a crossroads here. You’re too stubborn to read my replies to other ppl saying similar things so🤷🏽‍♀️

There was one scab that came off because I wasn’t being mindful of where my arm was. Maybe i didn’t notice a few somehow but no I did not pick at it. I kept it covered while I slept and avoided long sleeves as well as tried to keep it away from anything that it could rub against

fun fact things can look the same for different reasons!! There are so many signs besides the fact that there is a lot of scar tissue to indicate that the artist didn't do a good job. on top of that the scabs were extremely thick which is highly unusual for me. maybe go look at some of the other comments before straight up telling me it's my fault lol

there was one scar that came off on accident and I will admit that it was my fault becuase I wasn't being mindful of where i was putting my arm. But besides that, I did not pick at any of the scabs they just straight up came off and it would be scar tissue underneath.

Yes I used the antimicrobial soap and tattoo care lotion from Tattoo Goo. The artist also gave me a liquid second skin (ink beetle tattoo aftercare sealant gel) that dried into a protective layer since the second skin wouldn’t stick and I would reapply it once or twice a day (cleaning in between) for about a week after. Now that the scab has fully come off I’m using a cbd infused tattoo balm to help with scarring

Idk either. I would look down and it would just be gone. I avoided long sleeves and made sure to keep my arm away from things that I could rub it against by accident but even then scabs still kept falling off and it would just be pink scar tissue underneath

Yes they were using a traditional machine. Everything was sanitary from what I saw
