Watchers

Finally

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 7, 2010, 4:59 PM



   Friggin FINALLY! So, its been a while since I did any updating what so ever. I've been sitting on this drawing for over a month, but thanks to my brand new Sprint internet card, its taken me this long to get a connection that would allow me to upload it.
   The drawing is the graduation gift for my brother's girlfriend. She's a nurse now :)
   Baby update: I'm at 15 weeks. And very OBVIOUSLY pregnant. I get a million belly rubs whenever I see my family, which has been a lot lately. Gotta say though.. Not liking waking up in the middle of the night just cause I'm hungry and want a bowl of ice cream (which of course gives me heart burn lol)
   Looks like I'm probably going to be having surgery sometime after the baby is born. When I was 18 (7 years ago, how sad is that?) I got in a bad head on collision with a cargo van... Gotta say, I'd rather have plowed face first into the steering wheel than to get smashed by the air bag.
   Anyway, other than skinning 1/2 of my face, I managed to rip my left shoulder blade completely out of place. It hasn't given me any problems for a couple of years until Sunday when I pushed myself off the couch (how embarrassing is that?). I managed to rip it back out of place. But I went to the doctor today for my monthly pregnancy check up and she had a look at it and referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. Yay!
   Completely off subject here. Have you seen the tv show Eureka? Its awesome and I have to admit its become one of my favorites :)
   Hope all is great with ya'll!

You WILL get the originals on bristol board (my preferred drawing surface) and for custom tattoo designs you'll get the colored/shaded drawing along with a clean line drawing for your tattoo artist.

Drawing Tips #1

NEVER COLOR OR SHADE YOUR ORIGINAL SKETCH/DRAWING
Because I was never totally comfortable with flying by the seat of my pants when it came to doing the color in a tattoo, I picked up a 3 part system so I could have a line drawing available for custom tattoos and a color version handy during the tattooing.
1.) After you've completed your original sketch, clean it up with a liner pen.
2.) Make a clean line drawing by making a tracing using a liner pen and tracing paper. Personally, I use clear vellum for my tracing. It is a little pricier than regular tracing paper but reduces smudging.
3.) Lightly trace your line drawing onto a piece of smooth bristol board, or surface of choice, using a mechanical pencil and a light board. Avoid using too much pressure when tracing because it can leave hard dents in your paper which don't pick up color so well.

Tools of the Trade:
Ticonderoga erasable correction pencil (red) for sketching
Micron and Prismacolor liner pens
Prismacolor colored pencils and markers
Strathmore smooth bristol board
Artograph LightTracer lightboard
*These can all be purchased at most arts and crafts stores like Hobby Lobby.
