WIP

Its been YEARS since I've put this much time into any kind of drawing on paper and Im pretty happy with how its coming along. It's slow going but im also taking my time and not rushing it. A lot of stuff slowly coming back as I work through this. Needing to wear readers while drawing is new thats for sure lol. I plan on doing a series of these types of designs. More in line with quarter, half, or full sleeves. Basically I took what I am seeing a lot of tattooers do and mashed up a design in Procreate and Im using that as visual reference. Im using toned paper since skin is a lot like drawing on toned paper (as far as values go). I also just wanted to see if I still have it. Im happy with it so far and will post a finished product soon. Feedback always welcome.

Looks really nice so far

that's cool for sure. I like the negative space

You are going in to very Good direction my friend

I won't be as cool as the others posters and say that this is kicking satan's ass, on an infernal level.

The composition is superb, all the elements are strong and putting a mood on the map, anatomy, shadows, grain.... Wonderful job.

I sure hope you'll know when to stop, because it's already on a high level of goodness.

Peace,

DKJ

Thank you for the kind words! I never know when to stop lol I'm very, very rarely satisfied with the final product but plan to address that moving forward. Luckily I have like 14 next drawings trying to crawl out of my head so I wont spend TOO much time obsessing over all the little details on this one.
