Now that we have a basic idea of how these methods can be used individually, let's start to merge them together and really take the best parts of both techniques.
Like we mentioned earlier you’re going to want to make some markings to indicate landmarks. You’ll do this on the client's skin first and then duplicate them on the tracing paper so that you can really pinpoint and keep track of all the problem spots like armpits and wrist bones.
After that, make sure it’s laid flat on the ground or taped taught to a wall and you’re going to take a nice even, stable picture of the body tracing with your phone or digital camera. Assuming you already have the panel image of the client’s body, upload the body map as a layer into the digital drawing program you use.
Now you can start to render the tattoo design on your client's panel image. Since we're in the beginning stages, we can start with a simpler black and white rendering of the design and get a good idea for how we want to lay out the piece.
At this stage of the process it’s still difficult to get a good read of how each panel will transition accurately on the body. We need to start connecting the panels together so that we can get a nice cohesive outline out of these images instead of a patchwork stencil job on the client.
