So, I am striving to become a good custom artist. I want to reach a
level where I don't really need to use a reference and I just pull this
shit out of my head. As, I believe, it should be. Last night I stayed up
until 4am working on this. A walkin comes to the shop the other day and
wants a 2d compass rose tattoo and I begin to pitch him an idea to get
away from the stamp he is wanting. He starts talking pin up and what
not... so I start showing him my sketch book and tell him that I would
love to have the chance to draw something custom for him.
Well,
this morning I sent him the drawing I whipped up (the only thing
referenced is the star) and he responds with, "Dude that's awesome. I
love it." That's what this is all about for me. Proving to myself that I
can push my limits as I am still a rookie and getting that kind of
response from a client who wanted a flat 2d compass rose.
His appt was a lil ways out so I even took the time to render the drawing. So, this weekend we start laying this little lady down - 1/4 Sleeve Upper Arm. Can't wait!
