Tattoo- Illustration Friday. I can assure you I am not trying to be an eager beaver and post early. My grandson (3yrs. Old) is coming for the entire week end and I know I won't be able to accomplish much with him here . So here you have two of my early works. I logged in well over 10 hours of time on them.
They are done in pen and ink. (You'll notice in the crayfish I used a different ink in places- so sad). I am constantly asked to design tattoos because of the intricate pen and ink work I do. At first I took offense to it...Now, the thought of having my art on someone's body forever doesn't sound half bad!!!
They are great pictures, I love the line work. I'm not so sure what you mean by eager beavers, I'm just here to hear how great I am. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow you really do design tattos?
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful but I'd only consider them as transfers! (I don't fancy anything permanently marking me!)
your drawings are stunning and so intricate. I love the details!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I myself wouldn't like to go with a frog at my body, I think your image is beautiful, brilliant. I like them very much. In a way they look alike the drawings in the old schoolbooks - because of their so many details
ReplyDeleteso many details..your drawings are stunnings as always! GREAT..this is great.
ReplyDeleteI can see how those would make great tattoos. Not for me. Needles scare me.

These drawings are amazing. What talent you have with pen and ink. I admire the time and work you have put into them

ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful renderings. Awesome job. Very detailed!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Both of them are wonderful. I've been asked several times to design tattoos as well. No need to take offense. There's some really bad art out there, but there's also some really wonderful stuff as well, and I can see that yours would be among the wonderful ones.
ReplyDeleteExtraordinarily detailed and intricately wrought! Lovely!
ReplyDeletetrès beaux dessins aussi,thanks for your comment yours drawings are very nice.
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are fantastic! I almost got a tattoo of a lobster once - this one is amazing!! . . .I chickened out and decided to stay unmarked. But if I would have had your drawing as the reference I might have one now! Gorgeous!
