Artist's Comments

There MUST be grammatical/spelling errors riddled throughout... sorry about those, and I don't intend on fixing them because this was done on a paint program and I'd have to move EVERYTHING.

And the blocks of text. I go on and on and on and on....

Enjoy :]

Nice tuto ^^ thx for that.

Thanks, this should help! I'll still try and keep my own style intact like you said though.

I didn´t think I´d find a tutorial for "tribalizing " something. I know it isn´t as easy as it looks sometimes and I think it´s also hard to explain because like you said u just feel it,there are not many rules to hold on.one really special thing about tribals.I tried often and I had some succes but most of time there never comes out what I imagined..I may have not much ideas for the lines or am scared to go too abstract with a pattern...I don´t know but for sure your tutorial helped me a bit further.really nice job.thank you

I'm glad it helped! This is going to sound super cliche, but never be afraid of getting too abstract (just draw many versions of it and see which ends up best)!

And as with any other skill, practice makes perfect. There are actually some designs in my gallery that I can't replicate again because my style is constantly evolving.

Also, feel free to ask other people for their constructive criticism. What I love most about tattoo art is seeing each artist's individual style! Keep at it ; )

thank you for this friendly reply.Yea I should not be so afraid to "destroy the outlines" for another pattern or detail.I´m practising hard but I don´t think I´ll ever be as good as you are lol. I may upload some tribal stuff when I got the time to do some,I may be not that good yet but u can watch me back if you like,i´d be glad ^^
