Description: Here is a lesson that came out outstanding. The detailing along in the skull's face is both intense and confusing. Of course you too can get the same effect when you are done with the basic lesson and begin the process of shading, defining, enhances, and detailing. Here is a new tutorial on how to draw a skull and roses tattoo, step by step. I would so get this piece on the back of my shoulder. I know it's a little masculine, but the roses alone are very feminine. The thorns hug the skull's head like they are attached to it in a suction manner. The detailing I created with the coloring, almost makes the skull look it was sculpted from wood or maybe even marble. Drawing skulls and roses are always fun for me. I love the coolness of the concept and I think that others will fall in love with this tutorial as well.
