IM the type where i can draw soemthing i see perfectly but have a bad imagination and i really wanna do tattoos and don’t know what to do
how about doing realistic tattoo, where you have a photo or image as a base for tattooing.
From what I hear photo realism is actually pretty easy once you get the fundamentals down. Gotta agree with the above. Comment
It’s rare to find a good photorealism tattooist, it could be your niche and you could do really well with it imo
I’ve always been the same, and it’s the main reason I sidelined my artistic endeavors for so long. As far as pencil drawing goes, b/w graphite portraits were always my bread and butter because it’s very straightforward “copy” work. As mentioned in the other replies, that sort of tattooing may be up your alley.
Same bro .. same 😭
Starting tomorrow. Not good at drawing, but getting all the sketches down and I'm good at all that and not too bad at shading, just not a good free hand drawer
Love your tips and advice!
My issue is that I can draw pretty well, I just struggle to transfer my art skills into a way that can make tattoo designs to be able to tattoo. This is so helpful thank you so much ❤
For real me too
It’s easier than u think. Don’t let him seem to hard over think it sometimes
I am a artist who can draw anything and everything and even I found out early on it's more to it than just knowing how to draw and I respect that you put it out there.
Thx Brandon for this information looking forward to your next video about freehand drawing and digital.
Coming soon!
This is an honest video man. 👏 I hear you, and I appreciate your time making these videos. Keep doing your thang homie 🙏👌🤘🤙
Will do, thanks for watching
I just want to TY! Because I am just starting out tattooing. (Haven't done one yet). But I am really good with drawing graffiti, lettering, I have a really, really steady hand. And my shading is really good! . But as far as drawing certain things, and portraits. I am not that good at. But I truly believe I can be good at tattooing with stencils, tracing and doing the line work and shading. I just really appreciate you and your knowledge you are giving us. So TY sir!! Greatly appreciate it 🙏
I love the classes the program offers. Well worth the money.
We're glad you are enjoying it! Looking forward to seeing your progress in the group
So in short, if you can't draw, learn it by any means necessary. You need to draw and know how to draw, before getting into tattooing, there are no shortcuts. Even tracing is considered drawing and that's where you learn the basics. You just took 4 minutes to explain the fact that you need to learn how to draw if you can't draw, which is kinda logical and ironic at the same time, love the gist of it though.
I’ve heard thousands of good artist say they started from not knowing
You missed how some artist hate having their work ‘STOLEN’ yet he advising to do so for practice.
I can't draw at all, but I noticed I was able to transfer one image to another paper realy well I have been able to tattoo some incredible things like faces or skulls or just realisim in general but I struggle with everything else and even tho I can already tattoo on skin I am returning to the basics because I feel like I have reached a dead end.
@@validatedcustomer604You’re mistaken here- the issue is when people steal cusom designs, or sign it as their own art.
Stealing custom art that an artist spend hours or days on is of course not cool at all. esp for the client who paid a lot of money for something they thought was custom.
If you dont know how to draw, trace for practice. it helps you actually see the technique, fundamentals, & the little defails bc you’re up close, spending a lot of time on it, & drawing it multiple times. You dont post practices or studies or sketches yknow. Tattoo artists of all skill levels do this.
& He said tattoo it on fake skin.
obviously if you cant draw you cant tattoo, so starting on paper is the way to learn fundamentals and foundations first.
Then you learn how to draw for tattooing specificall, then how to tattoo it.
Thank u for dropping the ego about your first starting out man, gives me a push to keep drawing they look bad now but ill get better
As always great information. I’m surprised at how much you talk about actually applies to me.
Glad we can help :)
Thank you for your videos. The information is very helpful.
You’re welcome
I know a lot of good artists that couldn’t draw and there 🔥🔥 doing tattoos I’ll it takes is effort and practice to those young ones that are starting don’t get discouraged by this, keep getting paractice and effort on it and you will make it happen, like a mention I know a lot of artists that never draw, now it’s good if you have the experience, but is not necessary if you don’t have it.
2:07 when I started drawing I copied people’s drawing. I first started tracing and it help me with lines. Then I challenge myself to do drawing without tracing… it does help cause now I don’t have to copy people drawing. Now I look at a realistic picture and be creative with it. I never took art classes and I’m good at drawing it look perfect and real
Soo I agree with him in that part if you don’t draw, start tracing and then push yourself to draw something without tracing when you feel like you ready
I have been pacing the hallways of your learnings and I've learned and retained a lot.
I have even attached pen to machine. I have Equipment. I am prepared. I am a multi Facet Artist And I am ready to start. ....
But I Cannot draw on paper with a pen.. I hit pause to type this and hopefully I still like you after this one.
I need to learn more
practice* makes perfect
And if I may ask, what wireless tattoo machine can I start off with? And a lime and shading machine that is skinny and not large in width? I have big hands but for lines and shading I would like to order a skinny wireless tattoo machine. If you can guide me in the right direction what to purchase. And what ink and needles I would need. Thanks man!
Its like saying you can’t be a guitarist without reading music. Ridiculous thing to think or tell people.
what are you going to tattoo if you cant draw
Ppl can trace u don’t have to know how to draw and there’s some tattooers who do this it just isn’t wise to do this but it’s possible
I have a question do you need to be able to draw on paper or can it just be digital?
Honestly my shitty tattoos I gave myself I like better then the generic "better looking" tattoos I got from some random tattoo shop..I dunno, I just don't give AF...gl!
Same man I gave myself a really shitty tattoo when I was like 13 and it’s in my opinion better than the generic once you’ll see most places
I like art, mainly coloring. I can't draw too well so because I like coloring I usually trace stuff I wanna color and color it. I have tattoos, I recently been curious about your videos and I kinda am spontaneous so without thinking I bought a Dragonhawk wireless tattoo pen kit thingy then started buying everything I needed to tattoo but am too scared to start, lol I watch a lot of your videos and others believe me they help
This was 2 months ago but tattooing on your own is a road to infection, please be smart
@@dakoodragon8876 yeah it jus sucks not knowing anyone plus pricing for small adds n odds n ends tattood r rediculas is why I tried doin some myself but m mad shaky wit my hand uggg jus wish I knew someone or it was lil more reasonable price wise
@@eternalsquanch8445 save up multiple small tattoos and get them at once. Look for shops online and look at their websites or instagrams for artists there.
Plan abunch of them at once. I’m assuming you’re talking about tiny ones like little crosses?
@@dakoodragon8876 like small things to fill empty spots. Some clouds and smoke like shit. Like I wanted 2 little like cm size arrows on my finger and if i went to a shop it b like 75 bucks for 2 cm arrows lol heck wit that
@@eternalsquanch8445 get them all done together, it’ll cost the same as a small, 4x4 inch size tattoo, and you’ll be able to get all the space fillers you want with that one price. Or you could get them done when you get a bigger tattoo, I want my knuckles tattooed but I’m gonna wait until I start my sleeve next year so they get added on as a small bump rather than paying abunch for just my fingers.
Hey I need a mentor.
💡
Where are u from
I am practicing drawing as I have never drawn before. But I would like to know what is the best thing to practice drawing so it will make me be able to draw my own design?
I recommend starting with roses and traditional style
How can I talk to you directly
Bro be honest tattooing ain’t about drawing it’s about tracing and mainly shading
I’m always honestly
How do you even become a tattoo artist if you can’t draw? I tattoo my fiancé & parents & I occasionally draw. My tattoo work is pretty good and the line work is as well. I’m just curious… because it’s my passion.
I didn’t hate what u said but u gotta remember tattooing isn’t art it’s a skill set like a plumber or electrician weather ur good at drawing or not ur job is to be steady with a machine without messing up a 4 year old can trace a design in front of them you need to know the fundamentals and simple stuff and learn to tattoo not draw and practice years on how to do a line not no art we learned in pre k the simple drawling u don’t need to be an artist
You are right but if you want to make a name for yourself as a custom artist you will defiantly need to have a solid drawing foundation.
@@Tattooing101 u learn it as u go on but tattooing a stencil u need to be practicing on more than drawling let’s be honest
That's plain ignorance lol tattooing is one of the most complex and not to mention one of the OLDEST forms of ART known to man just sayin
I know this is gonna be a dumb question, but what’s flash?
Sheets of paper with tattoo designs on them
@@Tattooing101 thanks!
@@Tattooing101 I’m trying to learn at home. I bought all the materials and equipment necessary and I’m excited to start practicing on fake skin
I cant draw for shit but I can trace a pattern good
Ur so pretty
Im type of person:When i see pictures,I can draw it and it looks very nice and people be like:Waaau you can draw very nice.
But on the other hand when someone tell me to draw for example some animal I cant do that(my head cant visualise pics in my head).
I really wanna start tattooing this year.
Can you tell me your opinion pleaseee?
Thanks,greetings from Slovakia😊
thanks for the comment, so when it comes to learning to draw for tattooing application it can be different then just learning how to draw. The best thing for people wanting to get into the industry now is there's so many references and flash books of all different styles online. So I would recommend starting out drawing traditional style tattoos to get a feel for drawing for tattooing. This will help you get a feel for flow and you will grow alot faster then trying to focus on all the different styles at once. Another thing is any time I am drawing a animal for a tattoo even if it isnt a realism tattoo i find a reference photo of the animal I am wanting to draw so that I can get the drawing exactly how they would look in real life.
Listen to me ok, Focusing on tracing designs u don’t need to be an artist u need to learn how to tattoo fuck the bullshit u need to be able to trace that design with ur machine and needle not no pencil at the end of the day practice tattooing and the rest will come along don’t listen to anyone u need to be an artist cuz u don’t a 4 year old can draw simple shapes and trace
I’ve been artistic in many ways music drawling and so on but puttin that from paper to skin is actually pretty different so thank you for the educational videos much appreciated
🤔
I don’t have much of artistic bone in my body. However I’m really wanting to start tattooing fake skins as a hobby. I don’t foresee tattooing a human any time soon.
What the hell bor
Sorry I am not agree . For me is important to know how to draw is a basic for tattooing. Withoout drawing look for somthing else. I saw alot of horror tattoos from no talented people
What doen't kill you makes you stronger
@@mftv9534 Tell that to your client after you fuck their shit up
Stupid video. Now more wannabe tattoo artist with no knowledge are gonna mess up customers because they think they can tattoo.a lot of times you will lose parts of your stencil during a session. What's your solution for that
If you loose the stencil there’s a problem I have plenty of videos to help not let that happen
How about pure digital art? I can easily use reference material, and use it to design tats. I'm better at using reference, adding to it and then painting or drawing it. Plus I only want to do script and anime. I don't need to be some genius artist to trace anime lol
