@madpas.tattoo: How to use references the right way. I use references, but I don’t copy designs. In this video I show how I use a skull and a rose as references and turn them into my own original tattoo composition. I trace on transparent paper to understand shapes and flow, then redraw everything until it becomes a clean, finished ink design. References are tools — not shortcuts. #tattoodesign #sketching #drawingprocess #tattooart #tattoosketch

love how confident you are with your lines

Citronkrita :

the sound of your inkpen on that tracing paper was soooo good

SIGNUM TATTOO collective :

This is the real old-fashioned way. Art takes time. I don't understand people who say that drawing is a waste of time and that everything can be done on Procreate. They don't realize that all of this will have to be tattooed by HAND on the skin. This is also a training and getting to know the motif before the real work.Good work.

Anna :

The result of the rose confuses me 😅what happened to the center of it?

♡nutmeg♡ :

this was so satisfying to watch oml

Vagi :

I get that the rose is in your style…but it should be a rose still,its not even close to a rose

zara :

why do so many people like a skull and a rose? like is there a meaning behind it?

🖤🩷Alexis🩷🖤 :

this is NOT tracing guys. he made his own design... thats REFRENCING! tracing is when you STEAL someone elses art.

Dre 🇮🇨 | Tattoo Artist :

I’ve done this method for 10 years, never failed me! Love your work

bl33ding.vampvlt :

Emtex :

I prefer to do the first layer and procrastinate the rest 🤣

Friðrik Jónsson :

George Taylor :

Empty bottle 🇪🇺 161🚩 :

Joseph :

anni :

those pencils look so good. love how u draw lines with them too

(・_・ヾ :

I aspire to be as confident with my lines as you 😭😭

S~ 🖤🥀 :

this is so fun to watch it's how I used to make my art when combining lots of things with a foreground and background but I was told I was cheating when I was younger. ppl don't realise it still takes skill to make a tracing look good even if ur copying every single line

🩻 :

bro referencing is not tracing.

Benji :) :

vannah :

This is so beautiful 🥹 what kind of markers and paper do you use? From my understanding that’s similar to oven paper, but the way it scratches it sounds much thicker. Also the way the black marker just blends towards the end! This is really beautiful work!!
