As a tattoo artist, your mission is to transform your clients’ ideas and concepts into works of art that they’ll wear on their skin for the rest of their lives. That's how illustrator and tattoo artist Juan Camilo Mazutier, better known as Mazvtier, describes his work.
In this course, he teaches you all about blackwork tattoos and the challenging task of expressing an entire range of emotions using only black ink in a highly detailed design full of contrasts. Learn how to tattoo using fine lines and pointillism to create striking textures and volume.
Description
Mazvtier opens the course by telling you a bit about himself, how he got into doing blackwork tattoos, and how his influences helped him develop his signature style.
Start by looking at the essential tattooing materials and how to prep them before you get to work. Learn about some important concepts for creating exclusive designs and how to adapt the size based on body placement.
Search for reference images to help you develop your idea while creating both digital and hand-drawn sketches. Then, learn a series of shading and hatching techniques to produce different textures and effects on skin.
Mazvtier shows you how to properly set up your workspace and the steps you need to take prior to inking. Now it's time to grab your needle and get to work! Experiment with fine lines, shading, contrast, and white ink to brighten up your design.
Wrap things up by getting some tips on tattoo aftercare. As a final step, see how to disassemble your workstation and safely dispose of contaminated materials.
