hanya missed by a long shot, refer to references,
old dragon is close
skull is pretty good, mandible is kinda sharp shaped but heck some are (I own several skulls)
I like the front half of the koi, bodyu is too long for me, david mentioned elements that do not fit tradition, not bad, strange shaped piece overall
Hey, Had no idea about the koi variants of upstream and downstream involving different things, so thanks for that. The koi was actually designed as a 3/4 sleeve fitting piece, with the windbars at the top fitting around a shoulder
Latest drawing!

ill be posting more images here when im able to upload them to a host first. thanks!
Starting september im studying fine art at college, then hopefully university. however i intend to carry on drawing until then
No please do comment on them! Can you point out some examples of where I’m going wrong please?
Thanks peter! Hopefully your less of a skeptic now haha. Appreciated!
Clay, that’s exactly what my situation is. I have fallen in love with art and really want to do everyting I can to be the best I can be. I’ve found that my family and friends all give me shit for wanting to pursue it seriously due to the whole ‘ doesn’t lead anywhere situation”. However I believe you can make it lead somewhere if you work hard enoygh. I really do feel like tattooing is my calling and something I can seriously see myself in one day. Thanks so much for your comments
Thanks for the feedback. I’m actually trying to get into a fine art course at university starting next septemeber! I applied for biology and have totally taken to art now and have fire in my eyes for it, I really want to become better and I am really working my ass off right now. All I do is read and draw at the minute it seems!
Thanks so much david glad to finally here some constructive critisism! Also your work is a massive inspiration to me, so thanks. Ill get to work on that apple asap!
Spoke to my tattooist when i went back to get my half sleeve worked on and he said im getting better and have real potential and he reckons id be able to apprentice, just need to keep drawing!
Some new ones;
(not an original)
first attempt at a portrait, i know its not great but its a start:
Not sure if this is a pure piss take of my work or a compliment. I actually put many hours into my drawings so i hope people actually think they have potential. Bit disheartening to just see walls of flaming
Well im 18 years old so ive got a good few years left to improve before i can think about doing an apprenticeship… i’ve never taken an art class, i study biology chemistry and philosophy and art is more of a lifelong passion, i simply cant see myself doing science as a career and i really feel that tattooiing is something i could be good at and have a real passion for. Where do i start? I really don’t have the money to join an art class so surely there has to be a way of teaching myself to improve? I really don’t mean to be an annoyance, i just want to get better.
No opinions? Really would like some comments! 🙂
Where is it im going wrong, whats so awful about it?
added a new pic mate. What do you think of the art? any opinion on what would look good to for the surroundings to make it a half sleeve?
