An exceptional level of explanation with reasons but also not overly detailed where the viewer will get lost. To put it simply, if you ever given up being a tattoo artist, instructional tutorials is what you should be doing. Very very well done, Sir.

      Thanks for all the great content, watching your videos has taught me a lot. I was wondering whether you could explain in more detail about how to design a sleeve whether it’s an arm, a leg or whatever. How you approach designing one cohesive piece on a flat service such as the iPad or paper, so that you can ensure the aesthetics of the piece and how it wraps and ties in with itself...
      I hope that makes sense to you, it did in my head haha!
      Thanks for the great videos again.

    @tammyxiong2342 Před 2 lety +9

    As a new tattoo artist I purchased an iPad and procreate to help me create and design pieces for my clients. I either take my own photos or pull pictures from ig, Pinterest, etc. In the beginning of the video I noticed how you pick and pulled the rose and leaves into the layers and laid em out onto the scale without any square background or surrounding covering the portrait.. My question is, how did you get pictures thrown in without a square background or the extra surroundings. Is there another step or trick that procreate can help with that? Is there another editing program involved, or was it purchased elsewhere designed for tattoos?

    • @Josh-lo4ev
      @Josh-lo4ev Před 2 lety +4

      So not a tattooer but more of a digital artist here. You're going to want to find images with transparent backgrounds. A common file type for such images are PNGs thought it may not always be the case. You can also cutout backgrounds with a picture editing software such as Photoshop and save without the background
