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?

I knew I could do it. As far as I'm concerned, I DID IT. And I did it well. I'm very proud, and hope to keep the consistency in my lining on the next tattoo.

I just found a MAJOR mistake that can be fixed pretty easily. But it's a major misread of the stencil. Fixable for sure, and not a big deal, but I'm pretty upset with myself and am racking my brain on how the hell I fucked that up. Can anyone spot it?

Did you move a flower to the left from the right, adds to the design. Oh and it would be soo sore where it was going according to the design, nice work.

Is it the leaf overlapping the poppy petal at the top? Don't see that in the original...or was that one of the modifications? It's gonna be pretty! |

Where one of the leaves overlaps a petal on the flower that will be yellow. It's supposed to be under the petal.

Lines look pretty solid, a couple ugly ones at the bottom but damn fine job! You did a hell of a job keeping them nice and straight.
The only thing that jumps out at me is the little bit of leaves missing under the blue bonnets, other than what was mentioned above. It looks better without it anyway. This post has been edited by jabardstown: Oct 29 2009, 04:18 AM |

J.D. Nice work. I think the lines at the bottom will be fixable with the shading.
Oh I saw this on myspace and it made me think of the knife to the back you were drawing up to tattoo... http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...mageID=68516686 |

I'm thinking Bravo nailed the mistake(greenery over flower)...but the piece could go either way...don't see it's a big deal....if you colorshade the petal at that point it'll look prettydarn cool.
Otherwise I may have greylined and gone full color, no black outline. COOL. -------------------- If you ain't livin' on the edge, you're takin' up too much space.

Yea, in my post I was just seeing if I knew what the mistake was. Not that it looked bad. It can go either way. Your lines are solid, and I like this very much. Would love to see it when it's done.

I thought that might get some weird looks.
 The lines at the very bottom are not etched or sculpted. They're one pass lines, I promise. They have just a bit of purple stencil left over, and are still bleeding, as they were the very last lines I put in, and the pic was taken less than 5 minutes after we were done. The leaf sprout over that poppy was intentional. She and I talked about each section of the stencil as I laid them on. We thought it would be cool to have that one overlap. Some flowers I cut out and placed in different places to have the whole thing flow better. All good guesses, but are not the major fuck up I still have no idea how I missed. My mistake is on the poppy with the blue bonnet leaf overlapping. Though it's not the leaf that's the problem. It's the fact that I somehow missed one of the petals on that yellow poppy. There are three petals on the original art, and I somehow only put in two. I don't know how, but I did. I'll add a third next time, but I don't feel good about it. I'm pretty embarrassed actually, but hopefully it's an easy lesson learned to always double check the art in weird spots. Thanks for the comments guys. -------------------- |

AHHHH! Not as big a deal as I thought. That blue bonnet leaf sprig goes over the line that separates the two petals on that yellow poppy. I just need to add a small curved line to the left of the sprig to turn that one big petal back into two small ones like the original art. Not such a big deal. Yay! I'm not a dumbass!

Ok, you're maybe just a tiny bit of a dumbass for managing to take perfectionism to a new level of loltasticness If all the amateurs/"scratchers" were this anal, that other thread about teh n00bz would certainly not exist It's gonna be a really nice tattoo. If someone showed me this picture and said it was by a professional who'd been tattooing for several years I'd believe them. |
