How To Paint Old School Tattoo Flash Pin-Up Designs Tutorial

[@TheUpsetter]

It's good to see all these new techniques when I started tattooing about 30 years ago there was no info on techniques, we would draw flash with what we could get our hands on china pencils or bingo pencils as they were called then for shading and watercolour paint for colour we would outline them with home made felt tip dip pens made with craft felt and pelikan ink until we got speedball pens but everything worked good, I remember as a kid the tattoo guy in our town would send us to the local stationery shop with a list and then he would teach us a new drawing trick haha great times.

Still learning in 2020! Awesome work and loved the Sailor Jerry story!

[@mooglepoo]

Your videos are top notch. I watch every one! Thanks man!

[@mrred3578]

Please do more of these, I remember the story of sailor jerry and the purple dragon so was nice to hear you story telling. Enjoy watching you do the copic flash and its give me a kick up the arse to draw more flash so thanks for that dude, and have a great day

[@ematj]

the cowgirl is awesome!!!

[@questaragazza]

Good !! i like this videos , which colors did u use ?

[@Ralpheo]

Can you please make a video on how to draw the pin ups too, or at least point me in the direction where I can learn. Thanks

[@naomitate3710]

There are definitely a variety of particulars like that to take into consideration. That is a nice point to bring up. I provide the ideas above as normal inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you convey up the place an important thing can be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged round issues like that, but I am certain that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Each boys and girls really feel the influence of only a second’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

[@camdeshi]

Could you do a tutorial on flash sharks and banners would love to see that!

[@annacao7084]

I love your drawing!! Looks great!

[@J100C]

so glad i found these videos, been thinking about buying some copics for when im out and about! i use watercolour normally. these look good man! ill definitely invest! cheers

[@GDGTV]

Yeah they are awesome, cheers!

[@GDGTV]

A few people have said this and I agree to the extent that...it's how it was always done so its the most authentic way of doing it but I made this channel to help people who aren't that experienced or who are having a hard time so copics are easier to learn with then they can start worrying about authenticity once they have some experience. I do like copics though they are really nice to use

[@letsflyaspaceship]

For those of you that want a quality liner get a prismacolor lining marker set, it comes with different size variations and a brush tip. just throwing that out there!

[@israelserrano8976]

Hi I would like to know what kind of marking pen are you using? A great video. bye

[@ShannonOrcutt99]

Curious about the blender marker you're using when you're applying the color, does this come with most Copic color sets? Is it just a colorless blender brush tip? Love the effect.

[@emiliyo2010]

Thanks man! You stuff leads to improvements in my own work! Keep up the good work!

[@octaviorioseco4510]

is there a chance you could do a video on how to get the drawing symetrically stright, i always have a hard time making everything straight, thanks

[@GDGTV]

I'm keeping this channel all about old school much as I can really mate. Good luck with the rest of the apprenticeship, hope it goes well!

[@cherylb7794]

hi GDGTV sorry if this sounds silly but am new to this thing on utube -where do I find the description? thank you Cheryl

[@transatlant]

thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. i'm a lifelong artist but had no idea how to start drawing traditional flash.

[@leandrochebec]

Hello friend really liked their design would like to know which brand of pens and paper do you use?

[@GDGTV]

Leandro Chebec Everything is linked in the description mate!

[@antimistninja]

Great videos, what would go well with some old school forget-me-nots?

[@djoosdijk123]

Love your style man! I'm gonna order some of those markers and try It myself

[@snowking171]

do you need to use water color paper for copics and/or prismacolors?

[@christiananthony9489]

So I currently dont have water colors or copic markers right now. I was wandering what else I could use to color in that traditional style?

[@MrMetallax]

Hey are u usuing the double sided markers, or all caio markers even for color?

[@crisram7612]

what markers do you use?? where can I get them?? would you suggest me any tutorial for drawing pin up old school faces?? :)))

[@GDGTV]

I still need to try them actually

[@vamps-howtodrawtattoocolor7683]

I love your vids, and you've inspired my channel, thanks man!

[@bossagypsy731]

[@codychapman2095]

Awesome I'm going to pick up some of those markers after work 😊

[@laurenweir8183]

Hey bud this is awesome stuff! Old school flash seems shrouded in mystery, this is the first tutorial I've seen that actually helps. I'm curious, how many shades of grey are you using? Black, then two other shades? is that right?

[@bluediamond0987]

Hi your video is amazing and you are popular also in Italy! So one question and sorry for my english: i begin to use copic markers and i see the paper that you suggest but in the image on amazon there is the 250 gsm 120 lbs and in the description i read 300 gsm. What's the right paper? I have some trouble to shade the color maybe is the wrong paper? Thank u so much!

[@CourneliusX]

Do you use the colorless blender to do the gradients?

[@luciennelionheart7862]

so great! I love your art!

[@GDGTV]

That's awesome really glad to have helped! If you fancy making a video responce with how it's improved it would be great to see

[@prettylady2]

are you using water color paper?

[@GDGTV]

That's what I'm here for! Glad you liked it

[@estebanpena9282]

Can I run the same colorless blender over multiple colors without them bleeding out? Should I use different colorless blenders for light and dark colors?

[@juanocybe]

how many gray scale variants are you using to get that nice fade?

[@parisakaroonian1841]

Your videos are so helpful! Thanks

[@ruggatug]

Hey man love the videos! Could you possibly do a how to draw the old school faces? Would be a massive help :)

[@Darianka7565]

So are you a tattoo artist? Do you only tattoo traditional? Thank you.

[@elliemartin1562]

Your videos are so helpful!

[@mirnaperez2155]

this is awesome, I never thought about using markers!? :/ I'm just learning and watercolor has never been one of my strengths so it's extremely difficult.

[@jayrockskelly]

Great stuff, well done. Thanks appreciate it

[@ruggatug]

Haha it's because you do cool designs! and awesome can't wait:)

[@mrrmpr]

Awesome! Thanks for the tips yo!

[@bestmeds1896]

Do your copic markers ever dry out on you super fast??

[@micheledrake619]

I adore your videos and your story telling. keep at it

[@Controljordon]

how long do the markers last before need refill? would it be worth just buying 2 of each?

[@MellacitaSK]

can you use sharpie markers as well?

[@GDGTV]

Thanks! Glad you like 'em :)

[@gilangputra7120]

are take a markers to make that art ?

[@georgechandrinos9206]

Nice tutorial man, thanx!

[@GDGTV]

If you want to stain it then I would say so yeah, it depends on what youre doing really most people use specially designed marker paper

[@hardbody00]

Hey bruv, what kind of pens are you using?? Very nice work!

[@paledeerwoman]

I think he said he's using Copic markers.

[@filpnsweet]

Most Indians ,or native Americans I guess is what you mean, have feathers in in their hair from slash I've seen but I really like this and you are an inspiration thanks a bunch

[@neildioncustoms7751]

Any suggestions for laying out a flash sheet? I have the drawing and painting skill I just have a hell of a time getting things centered or proportional to each other if there's more than one image on the page.

[@RadioRats100]

I mean did u draw those and what kind of paper is that

[@420blazemaster09]

If you were to use water colour paint what is the best brand to use? I just started learning the basics with watercolour, I'm using a brand called Koi. It seems alright, but every video I've seen of someone using water colour it's out of a small square shaped glass with a drip nozzle. I've search the Internet far and wide and could not find anything. Any suggestions?

[@deanjasonswinscoe7358]

Dr Ph Martins radiant watercolours ✌️

[@GDGTV]

Thanks mate!

[@GDGTV]

I'm going to make a video about the stuff I use but it's basically watercolour paper (300gsm), Zig Millenium .08's and copics

[@GDGTV]

That's what I like to hear! Thanks

[@timlee7200]

Hey (: i love these, but what pen do you use when blending the colour? thanks

[@GDGTV]

A colorless blender is used for blending colors

[@susanarico8356]

what kind of pens do you use?

[@GDGTV]

Yeah it's watercolour paper...all the info on supplies is in the description mate

[@manjnakoana5233]

do you always start with the darkest shade?

[@DuhamelTanguy]

hello, i want to start with drawing tattoo's can you say what i need , wich tools to draw with ? greetings!

[@JDisaweirdo]

Do you do any realistic stuffs? :)

[@GDGTV]

Yeah sometimes I do realistic digital art when the mood takes me

[@GDGTV]

I think I got my colourless blender seperate...it will say though when you check out the product description I guess

[@GDGTV]

That's fair enough it's the traditional way of doing it and I used to do it. I just prefer working with the pens as it's quicker and a bit easier

[@GDGTV]

Thanks dude!

[@DoctorscarecrowTV]

I really wish I could just get an apprenticeship with you lol

[@kneillx1523]

I gave up tattooing after 30 years recently because of a dislike of 'modern' tattooing styles and attitudes. Thanks for flying the flag of old school tattooing mate.

[@felipemora847]

What materials you use ?

[@GDGTV]

Aw thank you! I don't think I will ever take on another apprentice but if you need any help just send me a message or comment on here and I will be happy to help :)

[@codychapman2095]

[@RadioRats100]

[@GDGTV]

Yet another request for a faces video haha...get SO many of these and yeah that's cool I will be doing one soon :)

[@keffrenmondragon8360]

Whats the name of the Pencils ???

[@hannah-louisedawkins7215]

Can you do a tutorial on drawing faces?

[@GDGTV]

I will make a video about why it's called that etc it but basically it's sheets of tattoo designs

[@GDGTV]

Yeah sure that's quite a good suggestion actually thanks

[@PinkTorpedo909]

Inktense pencils or color blocks work much better than markers in my opinion.

[@marianamoore8107]

Where can these drawings?

[@TransBoyJay]

sorry whats the name of the markers you use?

[@officialfoxthat1025]

TransBoyJay Copic Ciao

[@GDGTV]

[@TomDee1972]

[@danielacerati2241]

HI !!! im mexican and i want to know if u can do How To Paint Old School Tattoo Flash Pin-Up Designs Tutorial from the beginning please??? and some more desgins about old school please I'd appreciate

[@SoulrockEvans]

hay muchas formas, puedes hacerlo con marcadores, de preferencia es mejor usar los promarkers, flexmarkers o cualquiera que puedas degradar o crear sombras, otra forma mas económica, es con acuarelas liquidas u acuarelas oleo, (tomando en cuenta que las liquidas el pigmento lo elimina el sol, y las oleo son mas resistentes, pero las liquidas te da tonos mas vivos y fuertes, y claro esto de preferencia se hace sobre papel fabriano de 100% algodón de preferencia grueso o ya mínimo mediano, este ya tiene un costo mas elevado pero si eres de México y más de la CDMX lo consigues en la tienda Lumen cada pliego de este papel vale entre 80 y 100 pesos aprox. En cuanto a los marcadores el set tiene precios mas elevados.

[@justin8827]

Why coffee over tea staining?

[@cherylb7794]

thank you ;)

[@GDGTV]

Yeah 300gsm Cold Pressed

[@cabug1boog]

Thanks for taking the time to put up these videos and teaching some of your talents, that I know, took years to develop. I am interested in why would you think Indian people would get offended by the "Indian" picture or having their faces tattooed on someone?

[@GDGTV]

No problem haha

[@GDGTV]

They are copic markers and the link to where you can buy them is in the video description along with a full list of all the supplies used in this video. I will be making a video on faces soon!

[@GDGTV]

The colour codes of all the pens I'm using are in the description and I'm using 4 pens for the black shading
