    i actually read another explanation for the term 'flash' and it harks back to the circus days of tattooing. the circus people were excellent at marketing and advertising and they understood that you had to grab peoples attention so the name Flash developed for the front of their many sideshow and oddity showcases, big bold advertisements basically, the tattooist hanging around at the time naturally picked up on the phrase...nice vid-

    This is great work! I'm also looking for an apprenticeship, and it is difficult to get into. I have done a lot of my work in Prisma's color markers and would like to start doing water color. My local artist I am trying to get an apprenticeship with said you get a little more respect with doing painting and thinks it would improve my work a little more give it a more classic look.

      Copic sketch markers (or ciao) and chameleon markers blow prismacolor out of the water bro 🤙chameleon markers blend better than any on the planet its legitimately crazy how well they blend. And copics are the best quality of marker no doubt

    This video is to help people with their artwork...the vast majority of comments and likes are positive apart from the odd couple like this one. Showing people how to tattoo via youtube would be stupid but I don't see any videos showing that on this channel do you? There's no secrets here all it shows is basic watercolour for people who are struggling with it that's all.

  • @pogorobo1
    @pogorobo1 12 лет назад

    Just a quick question, when you spit shade, does the outline ever bleed?
    It hasn't really done it before, but I've only used black to shade like in the video,
    but today I decided to try it out with colours, and the outline bleeds into the colour quite a bit, the outline is dry etc etc.
    I'm thinking it's either using too much water, and using rubbish watercolour pencils.

    @antiflg530 12 лет назад

    that was really amazing! its extremely nice of you to take your time to do this for everyone! thanks for your secrets and your art. Any way you could maybe explain how to blend black and color together? for example a traditional rose will have the nice deep black on a pedal then the nice right red fading off, Im having truble keeping the color from mixing in with the black, it makes it llook like dirty red...... any help I will muchly appreciate it! Cheers from California!

    You might want to check your facts about why it's called flash. Nothing to do with cops. It is artwork that can be done quickly without a whole lot of fussing over design. Hence the name flash. A customer, whether in a legal or dodgey establishment, could come in, say " I want that one", and it could be done quickly. Read some stuff about Sailor Jerry.

    The flash story...did you just make that up? If the police came along, everybody would continue doing whatever they are doing. Its called flash because its your display. It was what tattooists would hang in their windows or booths to attract customers eye...by looking flashy.

    @Mykechambers 11 лет назад +1

    what you're doing is just regular watercolor. Not spit shading. I think you're confused here man. You try to tell people where the term spit shading came from and you were correct...from using spit...and THAT is spit shading. When you're not using spit it's not spit shading...it's just watercolor. I just thought I'd clarify that for you man. There's nothing wrong with not using spit. It's all preference and I'm not trying to come be a dick but thought I'd point that out to you. Good day sir

  • @pisswizard
    @pisswizard 11 лет назад

    Man, that's not watercolour painting, that's gouache and you're not spit shading either.
    Spit shading is done with india ink. You dampen the area your'e putting a dark in then spit shade it while its slightly damp. After that when you colour it you use coloured drawing inks. Because they are not opaque the blacks show through. You DONT want your black and colours blending. Ink is WAY more durable than watercolour or gouache. People aren't "recently" using inks, they always have been.

    @ethansanctimony4776 10 лет назад

    "spit shading" doesn't mean you have to use spit. Using spit is really unsanitary in my opinion and it seems like a lot of you can't grasp that there's different ways of doing things....
    As for complaining about the music? Seriously? This is about the art not the music taste and saying someone is a bad artist because they have a different music taste is pretty small minded
