I’ve really been enjoying your videos...I’ve been painting a lot more and I’ll have your videos on in the background while I’m doing so...I don’t have any artist friends really so it almost feels like I’m sitting here painting with a friend. Keep up the amazing work...I look forward to seeing more!
Thank you for the kind words! It makes me happy! I’m glad that I’m able to inspire you to paint. That’s my main goal! I have new videos coming up soon.
Thank you! Definitely try it out. In some ways a can really find more joy with this technique over spit shading. Let me know what you think after you’ve tried.
Do you think you could make a video talking about techniques you use to come up with new ideas/basics for drawing smooth lines and the process from start to finish on a peice? Love the work btw!!
Would love to see a video on how you make stencils for tattoo and how you transfer rough sketches to good paper and also how to go from sketch to final design
Hi! On my channel I will not teach anything related to tattooing other than how to paint flash. I think tattooing is something you should teach from a mentor as there are big health risks involved. Hope you understand. When going from sketch to good paper I use a light table. I have a video showing you how I go from sketch to final design. Thank you!
I'm as aspiring tattoo artist with a solid background I. Many types of art. I will definitely be watching more of your kids. BTW, what's the song in the bg and who is it by?
I need help. I’m trying to do what you’re doing but when I color with the colored pencil on top of the watercolor/India ink/acrylic ink, it doesn’t turn out rough and grainy like yours is. It’s more smooth and the paper doesn’t seem to pick up the pencil as good once the paint is on first. I’m using arches cold press paper, prismacolor pencils and I’ve tried with acrylic ink, watercolor, and India ink and can’t seem to get the results you are getting.
love your videos man. do you usually use your watercolors straight out of the bottle or do you dilute them? Also, any recommendations for some cheap paints until I get better and decide to invest in the real deal? Cheers
These look awesome! I love being able to see the texture of the paper. Have you tried this technique with a china marker/grease pencil before? Also, what roast do you use for your coffee? :)
Thank you! No I haven’t tried a China marker but I think I have to now. 😄 Ordering one as we speak. It’s a regular Swedish cup of coffee. 🤣 No special blend but I think we drink our coffee pretty strong compared to other parts of the globe. Make a strong cup of mocha and try out. If you have any experience using a China marker please contact me on Instagram @soberjoecollective
@@SoberjoeSe Awesome! Haha okay, sounds good. I was a assuming that it was a stronger type based on the color but I'm not all that knowledgeable on coffee! I know my Dad likes his coffee strong so I'll have to pilfer some of his haha I'll send something over shortly!
You can also buy the pencil by itself. If your in the states , go to a mom and pop art store and not a major art store chain. Also get a good sharpener for these pencils
Awesome stuff! Been trying this shading technique out with great results! One big issue I'm still having is with colors. I was using brush markers, but wanted to try paint brush and ink like your doing, but it keeps coming out so spotty and splotchy it's really bumming me out amd especially for the money it costs on trial and error. Any advice to smooth out my colors? I'm using doc ph martins bombay india inks is that not a goog ink or is it in my application?
@@garrett3919 So far I was using the bombay inks for filling color, and a matte type india ink for shading. The shading with matte ink is working out pretty well actually, tho def still a work in progress. But the bombay for filling color has been a bit rough so far. Big streaky areas and very splotchy. I'm not sure if it's the ink or the way I'm painting it on, which I'm not ruling out considering I'm not super great with brushes yet lol Ive heard good things about the hydrus ink also, I haven't found it In my local art stores though. I was using Windsor & Newton brush markers before which were working well actually, I just thought the ink and brush looked so smooth and great watching people online but I'm having trouble getting those smooth results.
@@Bb186fo I'm in the same boat. I just got back and bought the b5 speedball nib and speedball ink and the arches paper. Arches has always been really good. I spent more money bouncing around trying too many different things but since these videos I just go with his supplies and practice practice. I use water and not spit to shade. I do love the Bombay inks for filler though. The red is so vibrant and so are the greens and yellows. I also grabbed the fw ink for staining before laying down color. But yeah check what kind of paper your using first. I learned that the Canson was straight garbage and just smeared the water when it came time to shade. Also I was using a sharpie paint marker for lining and it would stand out and look splotchy when I started to blend the watercolors.
I've not tried the Bombay Ink. I'm using Dr. Ph. Martings Concentrated. What I do when I fill an area solid is that I go over it multiple times making sure it doesn't dry until it's fully covered. If the paint dries unevenly there will be streaks in the color. Hope it helps!
The green is a tattoo color from Eternal called Jade. You have to dilute it heavily with water to be able to paint with it. The yellow is 26B Golden Brown from Dr. Ph. Martins. Hope it helps and thank you for watching!
I honestly like these videos but it's the music I can't stick!!, it just doesen't sit right with me I could never imagine someone who would wear a traditional tattoo listening to this racist & thuggery music, I've never even seen rappers or whatever music this is wearing traditional tattoos so it's just a mash up and it doesn't really work!!!

Thank you! Paint can be expensive but try Ecoline from Talens. They are more affordable than Dr. Ph. Martins.
Nice video!
Thank you for watching!
@@SoberjoeSe Anytime!

Do some tests and see what results you’re getting
is it a charcoal pencil?
They are called Prismacolor Soft Core and are a color pencil
You can also buy the pencil by itself. If your in the states , go to a mom and pop art store and not a major art store chain. Also get a good sharpener for these pencils

Hey question are you using the India inks to shade or filler. I have both sets. The India inks and Hydrus water colors from ph martins.
