Hey you lot welcome back.
Today I decided to draw up an idea for a tattoo design.
I wasn’t really sure what I was going for at the beginning so I just started by sketching
out some components that I was interested in practicing.
I love the look of peony tattoos so I had a look at learning how to draw those.
I watched a few videos on youtube to get a little bit of extra information, it’s good
to draw from pictures but so much more useful to have something explained and broken down
by someone that knows what they’re talking about.
I’m never that good at the explanation side of things cos I’m still leaning myself but
you can literally search for anything on youtube and find the answers you’re looking for.
I’m gonna do more flowers in a later video, maybe paint them as well so in the meantime
I’m gonna try and do a bit more deeper research into like botany and all that.
So yeah then I moved on to drawing some leaves and things a bit of cherry blossom, just kind
of warming up, drawing whatever came to my mind to draw while I thought about what sort
of tattoo I was going to design.
And then I completely switched subjects away from flowers and onto goldfish.
My sister has been asking me for the longest time to design her a tattoo involving goldfish
and I’ve tried in the past but I was just never really feeling the concept anyway so
I’ve never given her anything finished to work with.
But I thought while I was taking the time to practice tattoo design in my sketchbook
I might as well kill two birds with one stone and see if I could come up with something
I could give to her as well.
She wanted it to look like her old black moore goldfish Doodah, so I did a couple of really
quick studies of that type of fish and then on the next page when it came to the actual
design, I just started drawing and let it take shape on its own.
Kept adding different elements and hoping it would work and in the end I sent her a
picture and she really liked it so I’ll probably tweak it a bit to make it neater
and more tattoable but yeah all in all it was a successful sketchbook session.
Hope you enjoyed this video and I’ll see you in the next one.
Bye!
