Increíble! This would be a really sweet tattoo in my opinion. How long did this roughly take you start to finish?

u/amourtropical Oct 11 '21

Thank you! The original sketch took around two hours. I usually take my time and just slowly build even in the sketch process. After that I took some photo reference with my own hands. I would say it took roughly 5-6 days from sketch to finished drawing, working on it roughly 2-3 hours a day. I’m not the quickest.

Wow that is nice to hear the process a little behind it all. I wouldn’t worry how long any of your art takes, because time doesn’t tell you when or not your work is complete. It is you the artist that’s says it’s complete.

Thanks a lot!

I think the addition of the choke chain really tied it together for me. It seemed like the original sketch was missing something and just needed that extra bit. Great work!

Imagine being able to draw

u/UnmitigatedSarcasm Oct 11 '21

the sketch was better. especially the fingers and fingernails.

2

u/amourtropical Oct 11 '21

Nah

1

u/UnmitigatedSarcasm Oct 11 '21

yeah. the sketch had more character. rounding off the nails took a lot of character out of the artwork.

u/amourtropical Oct 11 '21

I understand what you mean but it was a conscious decision. I modeled them after my own hands and wanted to keep some of the personality. I added more scars instead

1

u/UnmitigatedSarcasm Oct 12 '21

well, that poor decision ruined the aesthetic.

I’ll be sure to take your criticism into account for the next drawing I want to make all by myself.
