Texture by ~overdosse

Watch me draw this here: [link] !

A little more practise at drawing in a more authentic traditional Japanese style. I want all of the westernisation OUT of my hand when I try something like this. I still see it a bit but, you know, it's not a bad try for me :)

Sakura and windbars.

There is one full blossom for every year that Indie was with us. I drew this for him. I miss you, buddy <3

For this I referenced art and tattoos by my favourite tattoo artists that specialise in this style, including (but not limited to) Len Leye, Clark North and Horimitsu.

No stealy. This is not free flash, that's why there's watermaks fudgin' EVERYWHERE. Mine!

Hi, your designs look great, I love your buddha! I'm looking for a freelance tattoo designer to design my japanese/buddhism themed sleeve. Let me know if you're interested by emailing info@actfreeproductions.com. I'm happy to pay quite a bit for quality!

You can't design a sleeve properly without freehanding onto skin or taking stencils. I'd be happy to design individual elements that could be worked into a sleeve, but not the sleeve itself. Beware of anyone that claims to be able to design a full sleeve without being able to take an accurate stencil of your arm. My honest recommendation would be to go to a tattooist that specialises in traditional Japanese instead, they sort of specialise in designing sleeves.

Thankyou :)
I've never made a tutorial. I figured there's a bunch of more talented people that know a lot more about it that make them ;)
