Viper's Art Story - (A little lengthy)

Post by =(V)iper= »

If you're like my other friends who've known me for awhile, you may think in your head, "Hey I didn't know he can draw" mostly because I don't go public with my drawings and I do it just for the shits and gigs when I'm bored or inspired to make something. Same thing happens when I make maps, I have to be inspired to do so. Anyways so here's a story of how my art progress came to be.



I started off drawing traditional tattoo tribal designs, well I can't say that because I've been drawing since I was in 3rd grade but anywho, I drew this tribal bull it's one of the earliest pictures I have in my little portfolio here.


Image


I continued my drawing with this "Fox Racing" logo, mostly just solid colorings obviously, traditional black and white.

Image

This one is actually kind of cool, it's like an abstract musical flower I drew for a friend of mine. I also managed to camouflage her name "Caitlin" into it, so see if you can see it in there. I guarantee once you see it, you'll begin seeing it whenever you look at this picture lol

Image


Here's where I began working on a tattoo design I was trying to do for myself and potentially get done on my arm. I started drawing crosses and flowers because I had an incorporated way I wanted to use that would be a symbol of my family (Starting with my grandparents then moving down to my generation) so here's the beginning progression with that. The first cross I messed up the bottom part so ignore that, the second is a flower design a friend of mine wanted and the third is a mixture of my traditional skills moving into the "current" cross interest at the time.


Image

Image


It finally came down to something I was happy with and it's just a matter of time before I take this to my tattoo artist to get put on my arm. If you want to know how I incorporated my family into this tattoo it's because it goes like this:
2 roses = My grandparents
6 leaves = My aunts/uncles/mom
16 (15 listed I have to add 1) thorns = Myself and my 15 cousins


Image

A while after I drew the cross design I did little things here and there but I started drawing this design but stopped because I wanted to shade it but haven't been so skilled with shading so this one is incomplete as of right now but hopefully I'll finish it soon because...well you'll see a little ahead of this story.

Image

So I began shading, or teaching myself to shade. I did many little things like drawing circles and shading them in different areas but I don't want to put up 100s of little bits and details about this story so here's the first drawing I actually did using my shading, as you can see it's still not quite there but I at least had a start.

Image

Here, however, is where I began a more advanced version of my shading, and this is also another potential tattoo design after I go back in and do modifications to it and add the antlers to it's head

Image

And last but not least, this is another friend's idea of a design and not only my most recent of drawings but my first time using my ability to shade with color. If you can't see it (I know my camera only shows so much detail) it's actually blue at the base of each petal and fades to purple up to the tips of them.

If you made it this far then I thank you

Good work man. I really like the crosses and the heart shaped flower. If I was gonna draw all of my uncles/aunts and cousins, I would need 15 leaves and about 50 thorns. lol It's great how you have shown your love for your family in the drawings.

Very school story. I think the first cross you drew is my favorite. I love the Celtic design.

I've been drawing since I was little as well, but sort of stopped habitually doing it once high school started. I've tried to get back into it since, but just like you I need to be inspired first.

Great work though! Keep it up! =-]

Celtic designs are so simple once you learn the technique. Make 4 points on a piece of paper, make lines from each point to each point, and then just erase some spots when they intersect. Sounds weird right now when I'm trying to explain it via text but maybe I'll show a tutorial video or something

Thanks everyone, the next one I'm trying to do is the one I couldn't finish before. I'm going to attempt to take another shot at it when I get inspired to do so again.
