Introduction to Textures in Tattooing

In this section, the speaker introduces the Procreate app and explains how it can be used for tattoo illustration. They also discuss the texture of different animals' fur and how to create realistic textures in tattoos.

Using Procreate App for Tattoo Illustration

• The speaker uses the Procreate app on their iPad for tattoo illustration.

• They explain that they will use the app to showcase some of their previous work and discuss texture.

Creating Realistic Fur Texture in Tattoos

• The speaker shows an example of a dog with fur similar to that of a tiger, but less intense.

• To create fur texture, they use a round liner (RL) needle and make gentle movements with it.

• They emphasize that when using an RL needle, one should always start and end with light pressure.

• After marking out most of the design with an RL 13 needle, they switch to a magnum needle for shading.

• When using a magnum needle, they recommend starting light, pressing harder in the middle, then releasing pressure at the end.

• For finer details like individual hairs or whiskers, they use an RL 3 needle.

• The speaker notes that creating variation in hair direction is important for realism.

• They caution against making all hairs go in one direction as it can detract from realism.

• Finally, they mention using bucha (a type of textured rubber pad), especially on areas like eyes and noses where more intensity is desired.

Conclusion

• The speaker concludes by noting that they also use a black medium diluent for shading and will discuss this in more detail later.

Working with Skin Pause and Contrast

In this section, the tattoo artist explains how to work with skin pause and contrast in a specific tattoo. He emphasizes the importance of using skin pause to create an illusion of white ink and contrast in tattoos.

Using Skin Pause for Contrast

• The artist recommends using skin pause to create contrast in tattoos.

• He demonstrates how he uses skin pause to create an illusion of white ink by shading until a certain point, leaving the client's natural skin exposed.

• The artist shows another tattoo where he used skin pause to create contrast between the fur and background.

Creating Realistic Fur Texture

In this section, the tattoo artist explains how he creates realistic fur texture in his tattoos. He emphasizes the importance of using fine lines and shading techniques to achieve a natural look.

Using Fine Lines for Realistic Fur Texture

• The artist demonstrates how he uses a RL3 needle to create fine lines that mimic fur texture.

• He emphasizes the importance of finishing each line finely so that it doesn't appear too thick or unnatural.

• The artist also shows how he uses shading techniques with magnum needles to add depth and volume to his tattoos.

Importance of Using Buka Technique for Black Ink

In this section, the tattoo artist explains why buka technique is essential when working with black ink. He demonstrates how it can be used effectively in creating depth and contrast in tattoos.

Using Buka Technique for Black Ink

• The artist explains that buka technique is necessary when creating intense black areas in tattoos.

• He demonstrates how he used buka technique to create intense black areas in a tattoo of a jaguar.

• The artist emphasizes that using buka technique can help create contrast and depth in tattoos.

Creating Minimalistic Texture

In this section, the tattoo artist explains how he creates minimalistic texture in his tattoos. He emphasizes the importance of using soft lines and subtle shading techniques to achieve a feminine look.

Using Soft Lines for Minimalistic Texture

• The artist demonstrates how he uses soft lines and subtle shading techniques to create minimalistic texture in his tattoos.

• He shows how he uses fine lines to create hair-like texture on an image of a cheetah.

• The artist emphasizes that using soft lines and subtle shading can help create a feminine look in tattoos.

Textures and Techniques for Animal Tattoos

In this section, the speaker discusses different techniques and textures used in animal tattoos.

Using Magnum Needles for Blurred Effect

• When creating a blurred effect, magnum needles should be used instead of round liner (RL) needles.

• The use of magnum needles creates a softer texture that is less defined than RL needles.

• Care must be taken when using magnum needles to avoid overworking the skin and causing excessive scarring.

Importance of Using Bursa for Texture

• The use of bursa is essential in creating texture in animal tattoos.

• Bursa creates an intense effect that lasts longer than other needle types.

• Bursa also aids in healing by reducing scarring and maintaining color intensity.

Creating Different Shades with Graywash

• Graywash can be used to create different shades within a tattoo design.

• By using graywash, artists can create subtle differences in color intensity that become more apparent as the tattoo heals.

Challenges of Tattooing Lion Fur

• Lion fur is one of the most challenging textures to recreate in a tattoo due to its velvety appearance.

• Overuse of lines can result in an overly busy or cluttered appearance, so it's important to use shading techniques instead.

Creating an Optical Illusion in Tattooing

In this section, the tattoo artist explains how to create an optical illusion in tattooing by using strategic placement of black ink and lighter tones.

Using Black Ink and Lighter Tones

• By strategically placing black ink and lighter tones, it is possible to create an optical illusion of brightness without actually using white ink.

• The artist demonstrates this effect by showing how the skin underneath the tattoo appears darker than the tattoo itself due to the use of black ink and lighter tones.

• This illusion is created by using intense blacks in specific areas, along with mid-tones and light tones. The contrast between these different shades creates a perception of brightness.

Techniques for Creating Texture in Tattoos

In this section, the artist discusses techniques for creating texture in tattoos.

Using Different Needle Sizes

• The artist uses different needle sizes (RL 13r5, RL 5, RL 3) to create texture in a lion tattoo.

• After creating small dots with a RL 3 needle, he uses a Magnum needle to add volume to those dots.

Varying Needle Techniques

• The artist emphasizes the importance of varying needle techniques when creating tattoos.

• He demonstrates this by creating a simple texture on a French bulldog tattoo using only three needles (RL 3).

Importance of Pausing Between Strokes

• The artist stresses the importance of pausing between strokes when creating tattoos.

• He recommends using many pauses and less intense black ink to create a grayish effect that will appear more natural when the tattoo heals.

Training for Fine Lines

In this section, the speaker discusses a training exercise that he recommends for everyone to do. He explains how to simulate hair and create fine lines using a continuous motion with a pencil or machine.

Simulating Hair

• The speaker recommends a training exercise where you simulate hair by creating a continuous, fine line.

• This exercise can be done with a pencil or machine and involves not stopping while creating the line.

• The speaker emphasizes that this technique is important because it is commonly used in animal textures.

Drawing Different Textures

In this section, the speaker draws two different animals and discusses the different textures he uses to create them.

Drawing a Lion

• The lion drawing has less contrast and more white space than previous drawings.

• The lion's mane was drawn to look velvety and slightly blurred.

• The drawing has more shadows than previous ones, giving it a more intense appearance.

Drawing a Tiger

• The tiger drawing heavily utilizes rl3 shading techniques.

• There are many small lines and dots used in the nose area of the tiger's face.

• Buka shading was also used in certain areas of the tiger's face.

Working with Magnum Needles to Create Realistic Tiger Texture

In this section, the tattoo artist explains how he uses magnum needles to create realistic tiger texture in his tattoos. He shows an example of a recent tiger tattoo he did and explains how he achieved a more realistic look by using less blocking and more hair-like strokes.

Using Magnum Needles for Shading

• The artist always uses magnum needles to create the texture of a tiger's fur.

• He intensifies shading on the bottom part of the tiger using magnum needles in a back-and-forth motion.

• To achieve a more realistic look, he uses smaller liners (13RL) for fine details before going over them with magnum needles.

• He creates hair-like strokes by moving the needle up and down in a pendulum motion while crossing over each other.

Achieving Realistic Texture

• The artist achieves a more realistic look by using less blocking and more hair-like strokes.

• He cleans up lines made with liners using magnum needles to blend them into the rest of the tattoo.

• By spending extra time on this particular tattoo, he was able to achieve better results than previous ones.

Final Touches

• The artist adds white highlights to give depth and realism to the fur texture.

• Before adding final touches like eyes, nose, and mouth, he creates an intense black area called "bucha" using liner needles.

• Finally, he shades around these areas with magnum needles in a gradient from dark to light.

Creating a Sphere Effect with Shading

In this section, the speaker explains how to create a sphere effect using shading techniques.

Using White Ink for Sphere Effect

• The speaker demonstrates how to create a sphere effect by shading in a circular motion and gradually moving upwards.

• They explain that white ink is used to create a more rounded effect on top of the shading.

• It's important not to use too much white ink as it can make the area look strange unless there is an intense highlight in that area.

• White ink should only be used on pure skin areas when creating intense highlights.

Using Line Work and Rastelado Technique for Textures

In this section, the speaker discusses using line work and rastelado technique for creating textures.

Creating Texture with Line Work

• The speaker shows an example of using line work and rastelado technique to create texture on a lion tattoo.

• They explain that they used mostly line work for this tattoo, making short movements with the needle to create depth.

• Longer movements were made with just the tip of the needle to add volume.

• The speaker did not use white ink for this tattoo except for highlighting the eyes.

Overall Summary

The speaker provides insights into their shading techniques, including how to use white ink effectively. They also discuss using line work and rastelado technique for creating texture.
