Guardian Angel - Tattoo artby *Shockbolt

Designs & Interfaces / Tattoo Design

[Edit: Here's the tattoo on the guys back, and as he states himself, it's not completed yet

[link] ]

This is an Guardian Angel I was asked to paint for someone.
Ofcourse all the details that went into this image can't be transferred into ink on ones body, but I also wanted to have a nice image for my own portfolio online.

The finished tattoo might incorporate extra designs in the end.

Thanks for viewing!

Excuse me, do you you guidelines when preparing to make these wonderful works of art?

In rare occasions I do, but most of the time I rather use the technique of blocking out the shapes with either pure black "color" or some other color that stand in contrast with the background. And then shape the outline of what it'll become in the end. When that's done, I add color/shade/light to it and smudge it out into an almost finished version, before details are added to the element being painted. Now..did that make You confused?
