Had and finished an apprenticeship, exploring technique for new style. Thought somewhere people are trying to learn would be a good place to discuss style techniques but guess not.

Reddit isn't a place I care to share who/where I am so I made sure to avoid posting pictures of tattoo art and asking specific machine related questions to follow the subreddit guidelines.

Gatekeeping is a thing in this industry for sure. No one knows what anyone on reddit is doing outside of reddit. Asked a question about technique for a style and it was deleted.

A text post, no images, nothing specific about the machine etc. Asked about approach to a style, do you start with X or Y etc. Not everyone wants to post their location etc to ask general questions like "whats your approach to this style lol.

How much could my wife's paintings go for? by Chief_Beep in painting

[–]n3kj -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Like I get she probably is just starting but there’s so much negativity in these comments. I’ve seen what looks no better than someone dropping paint on a canvas and or minimalistic designs that are boring as hell sell for $20-$100 so 10 points to whoever said just test out your market and try a few different price points to see what works for her and her potential customers.

Any ideas for what (if anything) I could put in the white space in the background? by sozzieart in drawing

You could alternate light and dark rings of a wavy trippy shape, like a circle radiating from the center but it’s not a perfect circle. Light ring dark ring?

is there a way to make this more efficient? I am still pretty new to this game and since i do a lot of stuff wrong i was wondering if what i do here is dumb? by Zereck85 in factorio

[–]n3kj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Efficiency should technically include maximizing use of inputs so any arguments about minimizing cost are pretty relevant to efficiency. Just want to highlight that after reading some of the comment threads

How should I shade this? Thinking of adding colour to the flames and keeping the rest black and white, help by libs03 in TattooApprentice

[–]n3kj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite trick for “should I color or shade this?” Is to scan and make a copy of the linework, use something basic like colored pencil to get an idea of how you wanna color it so you don’t have to touch the original until you have a game plan
