Description I took 7 or 8 reference pictures of myself for this drawing. Inspired by Wesley Burt drawings that I stumbled on a long time ago, & kept bookmarked until I found them again recently. Also, my features haven't been altered whatsoever, aside from various sizes. YEAH, my teeth really are that sharp naturally.

I DID use the blur tool in photoshop a little bit, because I kept getting reallllly grainy scans. The actual drawing looks exactly like this though. Total drawing time approximately an hour & a half.

I am excited - I was an apprentice for about 8 months. It was really more like 5 though, because once I started doing tattoos, making money, having my own appointments, & being entrusted with opening & closing the shop it was really just a title. Yeah tattoo designs are hard to think up & compose in a good looking manner until you've had some practice & done a lot of research into some tattoos by some of the modern 'masters' but it's pretty natural once you're in the groove

ahh thats amazing! good for you! and honestly iv seen primed tattooers in my area that are much worse than you. You truly are really good! i hope you go far with this! when i was younger i always thought of being a tattoo artist but once i realized im not very good at making designs, i decided to go for something else thats kind of like it. im in school right now to become a cake decorator! i really like the idea of how personal it is and how you have to really talk to the client to figure out what they want. and its also a kind of artform so i wont be bored the rest of my life!
