Due to the fact that I'm currently taking a botanical tattoo with pointillism course, I've started a new way of studying and undersanding plants and flowers, their structures and shapes and how they grow. That's the reason why I wanted to share a complete botanical tattoo design creative process.
In this case, I decided that I wanted to design a tattoo for a calf muscle. This is the final result.
Let's find out how it was created. Here you are the complete creative process explained:
1. Deciding the part of the body to tattoo and looking for a model. Once we have it, we define the area to tattoo.
2. We look for the images we want to use in the tattoo and compose the design. The design must be balanced. We will lower the opacity of the images to be able to compose well.
3. Once we are satisfied with the design, we will begin to draw.
In my case, since I don't have a graphic tablet, I use vellum Paper, which I approach to the computer screen and trace the main contours.
4. Then I added the rest of de details by hand.
5. Once it is done, I use two markers (one very thick and one very fine) to define the design. The thick marker will help me to draw the main contours and the fine marker will deal with the fine contours, details and shading.
6. Our design is ready for tattooing!
