How to Draw a Tattoo

Step 4.


Sketch the shape of the bottom jaw, and then draw in the almost perfect teeth. When that is done you can start sketching out the fluffy looking beard, and then color in the hollow area just under the jaw. Take your time, and you will do great.

Step 5.

Description: This is another awesome tutorial that is going to knock your socks off because you will learn how to draw a tattoo, step by step. Out of all the designs I have in the tattoo section, there isn't one that is labeled "how to draw a tattoo". I tried drawing that old fashioned type of design style to match up with a lot of the art you would see in a tattoo parlor. Inking artist have an incredibly stable hand that enables them to draw on the skin like a pencil artist would draw on paper. I find this type of art is extremely interesting because each time you place a tattoo on somebody, your hand is responsible for permanently marking the skin of a human being which means your mark and art will forever be with that person. The sketch that I drew is one of the drawing I was working on when my power went out. I tried drawing live for a while yesterday but unfortunately, the power went out again until about three in the morning. But by then I was fast asleep, and in dream land somewhere. Drawing tattoos is not as hard as you think depending on the complexity of the drawing. I placed this sketch under intermediate because although it looks hard, it's really not that bad. All in all I think you will enjoy this tutorial that will teach you “how to draw a tattoo, step by step”. All you have to do is follow the steps, and properly follow the directions that is written with each step provided. I may be back later with more drawing fun, or I may wait till tomorrow. Peace out, and happy drawing!
