Typically I will pick colors from the color wheel and build from there. A lot of times the first color harmony I go with won't be the final. I'll do a couple variations and go in the direction I think is working better. If you want some good quick pallet references, there's a great resource on color hunt (website). You can also look at movies, games, or shows you like and try to learn from their color choices. There is also a tool in procreate I believe where you can "extract" the pallet from an image you've imported into your scene, though I can't remember the exact way to do it, but I'm sure a quick google will point you in the right direction!

@@domhocken thank you I really appreciate it!

@@ProcreateStudioInk thanks so much!

Thank you!

Good question! It’s perfectly fine to line with Dynamic and fill with a different brand. In my experience even mixing different brands is fine as long as they are good quality inks ie eternal, fusion, solid etc. Sometimes when mixing colors across brands they don’t want to mix very well, so when possible you should try to have colors of the same brand to avoid this. I’ve been using Starbrite white and Dynamic black for years and I’ve mixed many colors with both and never had an issue.

Thank you very much ! I will try it for sure ! :)

Thank you!

🔥🔥🔥

It really makes such a big difference! So many great pieces out there ruined by the glare haha

Well, it looks like you finally found the secret weapon to defeat those pesky glares! Who knew that a lens and film could be the ultimate game changer in the tattoo world? Keep shining bright and creating your masterpieces without any distractions now!

Will do!

Good question! When it comes to dark skin, you need to have as much contrast as possible since you are working with a reduced range of values. Push the darks darker and the lights lighter and simplify the shapes. Lighter colors also behave differently in the skin based on how much melanin is present and there are many scales and examples on google that demonstrate this visually. Liquid Amber has a great article on the subject with examples here www.liquidambertattoo.com/blog/2020/9/10/tattooing-guide-for-darker-skin-tones

@@tattlogic Thank you so much. I really appreciate you and the time you out into these lessons and responses.

@@GQ3MindSpeaks Of course! Happy to help any way I can.

Great question. Analogous color harmonies have multiple colors that are near eachother on the color wheel (ex red, yellow, orange) whereas monochromatic has just one color (mono means one and chromatic means color) So a monochromatic piece would have one color that changes in value (how light or dark) or saturation (how close to gray it s) but the color itself doesn't change.

Thanks so much!

Haha I saw that when I was doing the final watch through before posting and I thought to myself “no one will notice that”

It’s called a polarizing film. There’s no specific brand, just look up polarizing film on amazon and you’re good to go 🤙🏻

Thank you!

Yeah definitely! I plan to do a bunch of tattoo demo videos in the future, but they take quite a bit of time. I’ll be sure to add this to the list. In the meantime though, I can try to answer your question here. When you are tattooing, you don’t have access to layers or blending options such as color dodge, so you have to build the color transitions yourself. At 9:08 in the video I go over a few examples of how artists have successfully created glowing effects in their work on skin, so you can see their different approaches. There are limitations to what we can do on skin, but if you have the proper values (how light or dark something is), proper color choices, and proper contrast, then you should achieve a similar effect to whatever you’re seeing in your reference.

@@tattlogic When I saw the video I directly thought of the Dragon Ball tattoo when it turns into Super Sayen and the effect would be great for the electricity that coats it but how to do it?

@@maitreferu Yeah it might be easier to just demonstrate it that to explain it haha I will try to get some tattoo demos up on the channel as soon as I can.

Thanks so much for your support 🙏🏻 Your timing couldn’t be better, I actually have a video on glowing effects dropping on Friday so be sure to check it out.

@@tattlogic will do thanks I havnt seen much digital stuff for tattoo. It's very unique all the best of luck for your channel growing.

@@hifi8844 I appreciate it!

Thanks so much, and I definitely agree. I’ve always been fascinated by how things work personally.

Happy to hear it!

Thanks so much, that means a lot!

@@tattlogic My pleasure pal! Actually plan on stopping by your shop sometime soon, looking forward to meeting and chatting

@@dadbodmascot Awesome! Always down to see some new faces around the studio. Looking forward to it as well!

Right on, thank you for the recommendation! I think that’s a great idea and I’ll get right on it 💪🏻
