Another quickie India ink and water color

[AtlantaNate]

Working on my art to improve my tattoos. Also, haven’t been able to tattoo myself because I’ve had trips to beaches and water parks planned and can’t have fresh tattoos getting in the water.

These are both Nick the Tailor designs too, recently went through a phase painting his designs. I figure I’ll paint classic designs until they are second nature that way my designs will have a classic feel.

Thanks man, if you would ever want to do a split sheet or painting trade I’d be down.

I have a day off today and you inspired me to paint a little. I'm working on walmart paper with walmart paints...might need to upgrade.

I’ve tried a bunch of paints but I’ve settled in on FW acrylic inks or Amsterdam Ink which seems like the same stuff. I like that it is waterproof once dry. I just ordered a bottle of Waverly color Acrylic ink in green because it is the same color as the Intenze Bowery green and I want to be able to paint stuff before I tattoo it.

Paper is paper but arches makes spit shading easier because it holds up better. That said, if you’re good, then canson paper is just fine.

Also, that painting looks sick, can’t wait to see it with color. I know all that shading took forever.

Thanks...I may just leave it black and gray. I kind of dig it.
