@@ArtSomething I'm in that same group as I have an android tablet I had to find a procreate alternative which was ibis paint X, but found stencils easier on my laptop
I’ve been practicing this style of stenciling for a while now and I did have one issue I overcame that he didn’t touch in this video. Let’s say you were doing this and you did ever proper step and after you hit the “ invert “ step you have a bunch of black blotches what you do is restart the step process what I do now before even doing the duplicate I’ll take the original photo go to the wand tool and go to “ hue, saturation, brightness “ and make sure there is 100% no color by sliding the saturation to the left then I’ll slide the brightness between 50-60% then continue the duplicate color dodge invert and gaussian process. It’ll prevent any of the black dots / blotches.
Im wondering which of printers will be the best choice for fine lines stipple/pepper shading 0.18/3rl 0.40/1rl ? Epson with ink stencil tank or something small thermal like brother or m08f phomemo. ??
@@ArtSomething just wondering if you have video of the dragonhawk thermal machine on how to use it?thanks in advance let me check laso all of your videos if is it there.
What if you changed the image so it had only the detail stuff, then print it using the stencil printer? Would that not be the best option? I am doing hand stencils so i dont know. Just asking questions lol.
i have the amazon knock off of that printer and it works great! this method of stencil makes me want to try something new for sure! thanks for the tips.
Hey Dave. You said at the end there about to. Much black on the TS app . I found that aswell so I get to the limit, download and then go to the picture in the gallery and edit. Going straight to the eraser and rub out what you don't want in the stencil. Easy to change thickness of the pen tip so you can erase small pieces and if I see something I like in a magazine or similar, I use tracing paper to get the main lines and put it on top of the stencil machine paper and go over with a pencil. Perfect and easy as.
That is a great way to do it as well. Many ways to skin a cat as they say, just have to find what works best for each person and it sounds like you came up with a pretty solid method as well, thank you for sharing it with us.🤘
I need a good tablet to draw which one do you have or recommend? I’m new at this and starting and I just got my transfer machine and I’m trying to update everything
Me sale bien el estencil pero a la hora de pasarlo a la piel no le queda oscuro se ve muy clarito y se borra enseguida,en que estoy fallando?? Uso bien producto de stencil..creo q es el papel o la tinta..
Man what a great video. The first method is awesome I'm actually gonna try it on my next piece. I've been doing it with the trace out method for year's. Great work brother and I also don't like the machines that print the whole purple toned image it's messy.
Thank you Richard really glad you enjoyed the video and I think you will enjoy the first method as its been really nice and such a time saver. Oh and yeah the printed purples ones are cool looking but yeah very messy for sure. Thanks again Richard appreciate the support on the video and channel!🤘🙏
Ever sent I got my stincl printer its made ever thing alot easier now im learning how to us my new iPad and Procreate its taking a little bit of getting us to it but im likeing it so far
Thats awesome Michael really glad your enjoying the stencil maker and procreate. It will take time to get use to using the ipad and what not but it will deff be worth it. 🤘
Hi there what if you want to make a multipage tattoo stencil, like say on 4 pages, what would be the procedure using the same method on procreate? Thanks.
Yeah that sounds about right. I dont believe I was following him just ran across what i believe was a reel on IG. I will have to go see if I can find him and give him a follow as that bit of info was such a gift for me. And thank you for sharing that with me.
Hi Dave...another awesome and informative video...thank you! QUESTION THO - did your stencil print come out black, if so, what transfer paper is this? 🙏🏼 Also, are you saying that your prefer your thermal printer over your Canon printer?
thank you Crystal glad you enjoyed it. The stencil looks like it came through the thermal machine black but its just really dark purple, once it goes onto the skin you will see the purple far more then when its on the stencil paper. And yes I prefer the thermal printer over an inkjet printer, mainly cause I like how much stronger/ longer lasting the stencil is when placed on the skin compared to the inkjet printer. (just personal preference)
@@ArtSomething okay gotcha, so that brings me to this subject - I’m having an issue with the ink NOT coming off the skin once the tattoo is done. I use a thermal printer and say there’s a full circle and then the client doesn’t want a full circle, I can’t get the rest of the ink off the skin..once I’m done. Am I not wiping enough, am I leaving the stencil on too long prior? Or could it be that I’m suppose to wipe the stencil prior to tattooing - like taking the bulk of the ink off first? Another huge question - I do mainly small/fine line tattoos…would an inkjet be more suitable for this? I find the thermal printer doesn’t pick up small details. I have one like yours. I’ve been hand drawing and now wanna switch to something that’s easier. I really appreciate you! Sorry for the story book!
How bout size dimensions vid, i always print like 3 times to get right or is there a vid u recommend ? I wish there was inches measurement to get closer to size that’s wanted
Just stumbled across your channel for the first time noticed the blues and ega's in the background. Where abouts in the states do you tattoo out of I would love to possibly come get some ink done when I get back to the states and show a brother some support
Greatly appreciate the content, definitely helped. No matter how light I made the density on my printer. It would still come out really dark, this helped!!!
I use the pocket version on my iPhone 12 max I can put the saturation down so it becomes black and white after that I can invert the photo but then when I do Gaussian blur I still see the photo when I put the % up it just becomes blurry until it dissolves and the layer just becomes monotone gray. Am I doing something wrong or can’t the pocket version just do it ?
I mainly trace on procreate and then run through the thermal printer. With that said, ive been wanting to get the inkjet printer and transfer ink...... how much you want for yours???
That is how I do many of my stencils but for the more complex ones I really like the new method I use. And while I dont really like the inkjet style printer I also dont want to sell it lol, good thing to have around in the event my other machine shits the bed on me or what not.
@@ArtSomething i figured you wouldnt but it never hurt anythin to ask! Youre a fuckin legend brother love your videos always look forward to the next one
Sometimes less is more. Cause more is WAY too much. I have recently started doing the dose version you mentioned, and it's a game changer for B&G realism. The last one is a huge no for me. What a mess that will turn into. Great video.
I would imagine they should be able to do that. However some studios dont know how to do that or they dont do that sorta work. Might want to check out a couple of shops and see what they say. I know I can turn most any image into a tattoo so im sure someone should be able to do that for you.
Thank you Valium I did check that out and yeah the thumbnail for the tattooing for beginners videos made the cut, Were in the big leagues now lol!! Thanks for support Valium and thanks for letting me know.
@@ArtSomething no worries bruv . Thought you’d like to see it . Top banana . Yours is definitely a great channel to get the right sort of tattoo information from 😁
HAHAHA thats funny... I was like wait what it says bean... so I had to go check it out and it appears they put the be and an kinda close together so it looks kinda like bean lol. But it says Proud to be an American. Thank for the support on the video Blu keep rocking my friend!🤘
Yes I do believe there are apps for android, not sure what those apps are called nor how good they are just know a few people in the past told me they use a combination of a couple apps to do the same thing.
inkjet stencils are pretty hard to get to stick to fake skin to be honest, they dont tend to dry very well. But best product for getting stencils to stick to fake skin has been a speed stick.
@ArtSomething I think acetone is what I seen in a tat2skin video for fake skin ofcourse have you tried the inkjet spray on human skin I think this would be a good place for pigskin
@@ArtSomething really thanks for your content. Still can’t believe you tattooed your thighs just to see what different tones look like. That’s real dedication ! Much appreciated
I’m definitely a dinosaur because I’m trying to get back into tattooing and nobody talks about using the old stencil papers anymore by hand. Dang things change so quickly. I get it though. It’s so much quicker, cuts down on time and maximizes profit.
Using tracing paper, stencil paper, light boards and what not are not necessarily dead as I was making stencils that way just a few years ago. Its just that its SOO much easier and convenient to make them digitally if your able to. There is a bit of a learning curve but once you get past that you can really start to see the beauty in it.
Am I the only one left who actually draws out my artwork and stencils by Hand? I dont like designing on an electronic tablet. Also I dont use those new "fairy wands" these millennials tattoo with. I use coil machines.
So grateful you shared this, and perfect timing! Just working on a new design, a galaxy design and I was dreading how to make a stencil from the piece I drew...Tried this method and the stencil is going to be perfect for this piece. It is scheduled for tomorrow (9/14/22) I'll send you the results.....Thank You, Much Appreciation!
In procreate you would tap on the magic wand, then tap hue, saturation, brightness. then turn the saturation from 50 to 0 and it will be black and grey at that point.

If you use a laptop and use photoshop or GIMP you can achieve the same result in a couple of clicks by using the photocopy filter

Bro tha last sentence you said explain my whole stencil journey I'm on took the words out of my head you a great youtuber keep making videos
Hey brother, can I ask what type of thermal paper you use? Like brand. My shit sucks in the printer.
Hand stenciling will always be an option and solid info..
Very Very true, sometimes that the best way to really get to know the image to be tattooed.

In photoshop I believe it’s with ‘unsharp mask’ that with the right settings you can achieve this edge detection line art kind of effect also
Also to simplify the lines I’d try using “refine edge” from a selection of the lines. It has more control than median filter
awesome video! learned a lot from you!
