    Hi,

    I’m currently organizing my art from the past few years, and preparing some new artwork to present to local shops out of hopes of getting an apprenticeship. I was curious though, and if someone could answer this question, it would ease a lot of distress: Does the medium of art really matter? I have been familiarizing myself with Prismacolor markers, and detailing them with Prismacolor pencils, or watercolor washes. I tend to prefer inks over colored pencils, and feel they fully display my capabilities as an artist. I have a few friends who are in an apprenticeship already, and all of their stuff is done with pencils, and outline with zig tech pens. Would I be wrong for using primarily Inks and Markers for my sketchbook work?

    Thanks,
    -Dan

    I think you should show a variety of work, to show that you are flexible in what you can do, some black & grey sketches etc, i wouldnt have just all colour as some people dont like colour tattoos and prefer just the black & grey.

    Hi

    As Izarrasink has sattd you need to be able to show you have skills in all mediums of drawing.

    I would personally develop a portfolio that includes;

    Black n shade pencil

    Water Colours

    Inks

    Charcoal and crayons.

    These should at least cover the 3 main areas of ;

    Portrait/still life

    Fantasy

    Old School Flash

    This will show the prospective artist that you can handle all mediums and styles of tattooing.

    I wish you the best in your pursuit.

    Take Care
    Matthew
