Guidelines for Giving Feedback
Guidelines for Giving FeedbackPlease consider the following when giving feedback on a member's tattoo:
Line work: Does the artist seem to have grasped the technique of applying smooth, consistent lines? Do the lines flow with no shakes, skips or blow-outs?
Fill: Are all color and black areas a consistent color?
Shading: Does the tattoo show smooth gradients and transition effectively from light to dark?
Color Harmony: Does the tattoo have colors that compliment each other?
Placement/Size: Does the tattoo seem to be the right size for the area chosen? Is it centered and lined up with any other work? Does it go with the flow of the body?
Design: How well does the overall design work? Does it have sound composition? Does it feel well thought out?
Feedback: What areas could be improved?

nice work bro ,
apart from the anatomical bits and proportion (his right arm is very thin ,....could be angle of pic and curve of your thigh).....he is missing a thumb on his sword hand heres something for the future to help with that How to draw a hand holding a sword its a mind fuck tattooing your self as you know, upside down ...etc....i also think it makes you rush a bit ..with al the factors involved but i reckon this will look good finished providing you make the fill super duper fantastic awesome ....it will hide the obvious shaky shakes to an extent and bring it together. well done bro ...keep on keepin on |

another problem im having at th mo is having the stencil wipe away where theres a lot of detail - fine where theres more larger areas like the bottom half, but the face area where theres a lot more lines takes more wipes so i lose my stencil [/quote] Get Stencil Stuff,,,once your stencil is on fuk all will get rid of it, I tried most things but IMO this is the dawgz bawz,P. -------------------- C'MON THE HOOPS IN 2010,

I disagree. We got given a couple of sample packs of that Stencil Stuff free with an order we made a while back. Tried it and really didn't get on with it. Lost the majority of the stencil half way through. I personally don't think there is any problem using dettol, which is what i use and everyone else i know uses. I think the trick is not to go over the top with it i.e. don't get the area too wet to start with, and give it PLENTY of time to dry. I have seen my boss do 5-6 hr sittings using dettol for stenciling and the stencil still being visible afterwards. |

I do a lot of script and small detailed designs, providing, you apply your stencil when the stencil stuff is tacky/almost dry and leave it for 1-2 mins, it will last for a full shift. Fuk all wrong with Dettol, but I prefer S Stuff,P. -------------------- C'MON THE HOOPS IN 2010,

QUOTE (purplethumb @ Nov 21 2009, 04:02 PM) care to elaborate on that? 1 its not on A.N Other 2. post my drawings regular 3. did the pigskin route - to be honest its not really for everyone theres only so much you can learn from it, i cant determine needle depth blow-outs or the way its gonna heal on a slab of dead flesh or fruit, although will admit grapefruits and other fruit is good fortraqining your hand for different contours - but again - you cant really see if its blown out all that well be useful to get some ACTUAL feedback - if you think its utter shite - its all well to point that out, but can i get a --- its shite because ..... and here is where you went wrong/what is wrong aqnd this is hat you could do to improve? if im honest - i dont think its perfect but i dont think its bad - obviously there are flaws i am aware of and im never 100% happy with my work because i know i have the potential to go further with it this particular piece was posted on paper a while back http://forum.ink-trails.com/Pics-t15205.html - does say at the top if you didnt already read right through and as i say it received no this is shit comment untill it was posted on flesh so i kinda feel im in a no win situation as far as that one goes, but then again as i say - im reasonably happy with it benn my piece on myself?!?

I feel like this bro, this is not utter shite work but the design itself needed to be much better before the tattoo was ever done. Its gonna take some work to make this into a good tattoo and not only good technique but an artistic eye to match.
You can still save this tattoo but if you keep going like this your making it harder for yourself later. Really look at this piece and ask your self what you can do to make the design itself better. Try printing this pic out and color it out, play with the light source and shadows to hide the line problems, then post up the results and get some crit from the awesome artists we have here, it may take a week or two to get it right but itll be worth it. Im really just tring to help, we can go over technique all day but if the art is not up to par none of that matters. I fully believe you can pull this piece off but color it out on paper and let the people here help you make it into a great design first. I dont mean to come off like a dick, I hope you can see that I really want to help. |

Same with me......dettol works great as long as you let it dry completely b4 starting!! -------------------- Just my 2 cents
