I like the designs a lot, regardless, and I still think the books are definitely worth the buy. Just sucks it had to be edited at all.

Not really

Hey, I’m glad you like it! As long as the designs aren’t being resold in any way, I see nothing wrong with practicing them.

Definitely some nice artwork in this book!

I’m glad it helped man! The Sakuras are a joy to use!

Well put, that is so true!!!

Thanks, it’s ok as I’m already a legend in my own mind! Hahaha! 😁

Practice on paper then...

Thanks man! They do help change things up, and always give you something handy to doodle in brief moments of spare time...

Thanks, I appreciate it! Life has been getting in the way a bit, of making videos, but I'll keep coming back when I can!

Yes, I’m planning videos for down the road that show my whole process. I am on Instagram, but don’t really have any content on there yet…

@@vamps-howtodrawtattoocolor7683 ok great, im looking forward to the video.

I could definitely do something along those lines down the road!

I still use Mars plastic erasers, for erasing large amounts of pencil, but for small, quick, and more intricate erasing, the Sakura's are very helpful. Highlights can also be created easily with an electric.

Awesome to hear man! Happy drawing!

Hey man, thanks so much! I love Bob Ross and sometimes put on one of his videos when I need a pick-me up, as he always make me feel better! 😁 Have you seen this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKiVkquGesd9mJY It is one of my favorite KZbin videos!

Hey, thanks man! I'm happy the videos are helping and you've inspired me to make more!

Vamp's - How To Draw Tattoo Coloring Book Pages that’s great I look forward to seeing your videos! They’ve helped so much I’ve been using tips you’ve given to try and draw sailor jerry style pin ups

Hey man, thanks for your kind words! I do plan on teaching my whole color and shading process, that I usedfor these videos, down the road! In general terms, start lighter with shading, then go darker. The darker shading will provide the depth. Drawing and shading shapes like spheres, cylinders, and squares, is good practice, although I've always found it a bit of a bore. Do try and imagine where your light source might be coming from (pick a side), then shade accordingly. I do enjoy drawing actual items from life. Maybe take a white skull, or white object of some sort, light it from the side, and then observe where the shadows fall and draw what you see. Drawing from life is one of the best things you can do to improve your shading skills. If you ever get a chance to draw from a nude model, this will also help your drawing skill. I believe as your overall drawing skill improves, the shading and coloring are pulled along for the ride and also improve. I also HIGHLY recommend re-drawing, shading/coloring, the artwork of one of your favorite artists in whatever genre you like. Old masters used to draw and copy the paintings of other masters, and you should too! Practice copying, as exactly as you can, like this for 20-30 minutes per day, and what you will find is that their drawing methods, shading techniques and color methods start becoming infused into your original artwork. I have copied many Sailor Jerry pages over the years, and it is forever infused into my style. Copying is one of the best ways to learn and improve, and it is a habit of mine to do it every day! I hope this helps!

Sure, as long as they're ok with being tattooed with it! 😉

Wow, Aztec calendars are intricate. I specialize in skulls and pin-ups and do plan on a Chicano skull or pinup down the road!

@@vamps-howtodrawtattoocolor7683 good enough brother. THank you!

Thanks man!

njjfe

I am really happy to hear that man, as now is the perfect time to start drawing again!

Mixed media, but stay tuned as I plan on doing a full series of videos just showing my whole color process!!!

No problemo! 😊
