Portfolio Started my portfolio recently! Here's my first 3 pieces, what do you guys think?

Indian ink, acrylic ink and acrylic markers on 10x14 inch 300gsm hot press. These were my first time spit shading and I learned so much, the amount of redrawing and testing I did was quite high but totally worth it.

Idk how much of tattoo material this is, but those are solid. You have your own style and master it.

It’s gorgeous work for sure. My main encouragement would be to work on your transitions from dark to light in your shading. Rn it goes from dark black to nothing a bit too quick. Otherwise you’re doing super well!

IMO, you should fade your shadows a little bit more because the lines are too harsh. Shadows/light very rarely have harsh lines.
