How to Draw a Love Tattoo, Tattoo of Love
1
Draw two circles, one for the head and the other for the hands.
2
Using the shapes you just made begin sketching out the body which is the back, left shoulder, and arm. Notice how the hand is drawn cupping the heart or rose. You will see the rose in later steps.
3
Continue to draw out the rest of the figure's back as well as the right arm, forearm, and hand. The thumbs are what's seen here.
4
Next, draw the shape of the head which is basically no different from the circle you made in step one it's just defined.
5
You can draw a heart in this step, but I drew a rose. Begin sketching out the rose as well as the fingers that is part of the hands presenting the flower. The flower or rose represents love.
6
Erase the mistakes so you can begin coloring in your work. As you can see the entire head gets shaded. The bright light concept gets added after the base shading is drawn in first.
7
Continue to color in the figure as well as add the lighting detailing. Take your time, if you are having trouble I will be back tomorrow with more detailed instructions.
8
Give the flower the base shading, then move to step nine.
9
Blend in all the colors and make the image soft like you see it here. This would make such an awesome tattoo.
