    Seems like forever since I have done one of these! This is going to be a two part video where I go into detail on how to draw the concept and layout of a sheet of traditional flash featuring skulls and snakes. In the next video I will be showing you how I line and paint this sheet up.

    I just wanted to say that you have helped me SO MUCH with my flash skills. I love drawing traditional flash and I'm definitely still learning, but your traditional flash videos have taught me so much and I would be hopelessly lost with drawing in this style without them, and I just got copic markers yesterday and my shading already looks 10 times better. Thank you so much, you should definitely make more of the traditional flash videos!!!!

    I'd also love a sketching tutorial on drawing more pin ups and traditional flash men and women. Also possibly using different line techniques and such (hatching and cross hatching maybe?)

    This has absolutely nothing to do with tattooing so I apologise, but I just noticed your Download wristband, and was thinking how cool it would have been to see you there. As you probably guessed I was there myself, but anyways...great video :) I have become addicted to watching your videos.

  • @GDGTV
    @GDGTV  11 лет назад +1

    Yeah pretty much, I think everyone starts by just drawing stuff they have seen elsewhere. It's a great way to learn rather than trying to do bad ass original artwork straight away! I have seen people do that too and it's always crap haha

  • @GDGTV

  • @theorikal8015
    @theorikal8015 10 лет назад

    Heres the deal. So I was able to get my hands on all the markers but the C7. Will blending and shading still be doable without it? I was even able to get the C3.

  • @HaHaAngelify

    I am wanting to become a tattoo artist, but the problem is I've never been a big people person when it comes to dealing with close-minded and difficult people. That's one of my biggest fears if I were to get into this industry is having very demanding clients. Do you have a video on how to deal with difficult clients?

    • @imadethistounblockST
      @imadethistounblockST 6 лет назад

      You don't actually want to be a tattoo artist then. Over half the job is interacting with customers. That's like saying I really want to be a defense attorney, I love law and want to specialize in the type that heavily involves people, but I don't like people. Any advice? Judging by the fact this comment is 2 years old I'm guessing you aren't tattooing.

    • @Zluul
      @Zluul 6 лет назад +1

      An artist who guest at our studio regulary is actually really introverted, he hates talking to people, hate people who are difficult. And yet he travels the world and lives as a tattoo artist. In the beginning he had to bite down and just suck it up, when there was difficult clients. Now he tells them to fuck off if they start acting difficult. He's an amazing artist, but sucks at conversing.
      So no, you can make it as a tattoo artist and not be a people person. As long as you are good enough that people want your art.

    Hey bro I want to get into tattooing and I'm pretty good at drawing and I'm really good at painting. My only problem I have is coming up with my own ideas for a piece. Like if I tried to draw a skull without looking at something it would be complete rubbish but if I looked at something it would turn out great. Any advice for that??

      Most tattooists use references :P

    • @Jaraed
      @Jaraed 9 лет назад

      Agreeing with the other reply, the more behind the scenes action I see from tattooing the more I can say this is true. When you've been drawing for years you will tend to find your own "niche" or style of drawing. Up until that point referencing is highly recommended, just don't outright copy anything without paying credit. Continue practicing painting from references like sailor jerry, bert grimm, or dietzel, these are good practice, you can elaborate upon the designs to give it your own twist. Plus there's a lot more to tattooing then just drawing well, you need to know the history behind it, how machines work and are built, how to properly utilise them etc, as well as number one thing to learn about, hygiene. Any reputable artist, the thing they take most care with is hygiene.

    • @Titanfour6

      Totaly agree with the above comment, i will say this though... Learning to tattoo isnt easy...and dont mistake it for being anything like what u see on tv because its not...iv been an 'apprentice' scince February last year and im 21, i started looking into it at 18 when a just turned 20 i went to a local shop to ask questions and luckily one of the artists took me on, because i done my research i knew what was comin, for one...u will do alot of drawing and u will be asked to do them for a deadline, answering the shop phone and dealing with social media and customers, cleaning, setting up and breaking down artist's work stations properly and following the correct and most hygienic process... If ur in the uk u will need to get... and pay for yourself..a hep c jab (costs vary...i paid 55 for mine but can be higher)...and finally... .something that puts most people off... it is very rare in the uk (if u ar in the uk)..to get paid for ur apprenticeship.... Tattooing is self employed...so they would have to pay you out there own pocket and thus meaning their loosing money.. However...if u are passionate about it and can get a part time job to keep going....go for it... Ul meet some amazing people and every day is diffrent and...so long as u and any other artists get along...u will have a good laugh :)

    I love watching your video's!! They are really helpful and gives me idea's as well as helping myself with different techniques. This may sound like a very odd request but I am currently working on my own tattoo portfolio. It's only in the basic stages (around 20 drawings so far, with a lot to finish off). They have been uploaded on my facebook page dedicated to my designs and I was wondering if you could take a look and give me a little advice (: Hope you read this and get back to me :D
