Digital Design and Illustration of Tattoos with Procreate

Start off by getting to know Tania as well as her career and influences within the tattoo world.

Learn to design and illustrate your tattoos in three phases: preproduction, production, and postproduction.

In preproduction, discover how to put together a brief, find references, and create a collage to give you an idea of what the final tattoo will look like.

Next, in the production phase, work on the outline, or "skeleton" of your design. Then explore how to create variations of the same design in order to have different options to present according to the client's requests. The last part of the production process is adding shadows, volume, and texture with simple tricks that Tania teaches you.

Now it's time for the postproduction phase, in which you learn to design the final artwork with the necessary finishing touches before seeing how to export it.

To wrap up the course, Tania gives you some tips for creating the final version of your piece, both for tattooing and printing as an illustration.
