Today I worked on a new Maori shoulder piece. When I draw a new design, I start with a sheet of paper, 200 grams, size A3 (29,7 x 42cm).
The materials I use are just a simple medium hard pencil for the first sketch.
First I make a rough sketch for the shape of the design. Then some main elements are designed and I try to get a nice flow in the overall design. (My tattoo's have no specific meanings, I just combine different tattoo styles into one esthetic image) When that's done, I fill the small shapes with nice triangles, lines or other tribal tattoo patterns.
Finally I trace the tattoo design with a black marker and remove the pencil lines.
