How I Draw a Tattoo Design/Illustration. Buddha "Enlighten"

in #ocd-resteem6 years ago

Hello guys! I'm back at it again with another artwork. This time it's for a tattoo, a design I drew from a friends request and hopefully, soon I'll also be inking it on to his arm. Behold, my Buddha "Enlighten".

Now, I'm gonna be making this quick for all you readers. I'll presenting series of photos of it's progress from sketch, outlining and shading until such time we'll be ending up on to it's end product. Hope you'd enjoy!

Process starts here:

I think we are all done here. Let's now put this into sharing

BUDDHA "ENLIGHTEN" TATTOO DESIGN

Now, this tattoo design isn't just about being badass, it's because of the person who will be tattooed with it. He's a friend of mine who has been very helpful also as a part of our circle. He has this type of wisdom that nobody has and can help you solve even your hardest problems. So that's why we came with this design. I believe that this Buddha reflects on him very well. For we all know Buddha is a symbol of enlightenment and wisdom. Despite of having all the knowledge in the world, calmness and finding a way to solve a certain problem can be the most ideal way to intervene solutions.

Well, I guess that'll be all for today. Please guys, hold on to this platform, let your heart maintain that pride, for this platform will help a lot of people and invite more for the development of Steem it. Disregard those negative shit that is happening right now and let us please promote Steem it more and more. Let's just make it last forever, shall we? This @ianceaz, saying thank you and thanks for dropping by.

Thanks a lot @votomasivo 😁

That is an amazing design. The level of detail that has gone into the Buddha is top quality. It must have taken you you some amount of time to get it to that level.

Thankss. Just managed to take some references then put it into one piece 😁

Still very impressive when you finished it. Quality work of art.

That is beautiful ! I love it ! Great job !! I had to resteem :) .
Peace

Thank you so much! @saaab

Very detailed drawing. It looks very good for a wall painting especially when colored. 😊

How big is this? Is this also the material that you, like, stick on to your customer's skin and then trace from there? Or is this just your guide but will still draw something new on the customer?

I really pressure myself on making unique designs, though I may have many references, I mix them all together to make one concept. And yes, I always say that I make certain designs for a customer. Unless a customer has their own design. 😁

That's very creative of you.

Where is this design intended to be tattooed on the customer? Their arms, their back? And how long does it take you to finish the tattoo relative to its size?

Hello @ianceaz great to see this fantastic artwork from you. 👌Especially i love to see the whole process of the development.

Greetings 😀✌️

My friend just wants it to be as a black and grey design. But, of course colors would be also great. Anyways, thank you so much for appreciating 😁 @avizor

very cool, @ianceaz !!! love the step by step presentation also, each stage is captured so nicely <3 such a kick ass tattoo design * __ * you definitely nailed that 'enlightened' serenity from the pose and the buddha's expression <3 amazing work !!!

Thank you si much again ©veryspider haha

There is so much detail in your work it is amazing. And the shading on the dace gives a sense of depth to the whole thing. Will it take many hours of work to do the tattoo? Just wondering if it will go down all at once or in sessions with layers?

Uhhmm it would also depend on the clients tolerance on pain. Either way, this one would cost around 6-8 hours straight tattooing. Anyways, thank you so so much for appreciatingg

Your sketch is beautiful @ianceaz! The details and the step-by-step photos are really enlightening to read and view. Thank you!

Disregard those negative shit that is happening right now and let us please promote Steem it more and more. Let's just make it last forever, shall we?

Agreed totally! 🙏

Thank you for appreciating and support @marblely 😁

😊👍👌🙏

that is beautiful

Thanks @raksha, you are too 😊

Ohhh that's a great tattoo design, and the fact that you thought about your friend's personality when you're drawing this, that makes it even better.          
         
I like all the circular designs that you put all over this picture, and the ink works are charming and full of confidence. Very nice.

Thank you so so much! @scrawly

An amazing art, as you have said that this is for a Tattoo, will it get so much detail on the body?

All the details will be stensiled and applied on skin, most likely the details will also be applied during the tattoo process hehe. Thanks by the way @codingdefined 😁

That is great work, and I enjoyed the story behind it as well. We all need those types of people in our lives and spending the extra time on designing the piece is a great way to show your appreciation. Plus, telling him why you think enlightenment suits him so well is probably awesome to him. The lotus flowers are a nice touch as well.
It is a very detailed sketch, will the detail on the headdress transfer well to a tat?

howdy sir ianceaz! wow this is an amazing post. To take us through the process of drawing this artwork is fascinating to see. I just did a post yesterday about 3D tattoos so your title caught me eye! Have you done any 3D tats and is the process significantly different?

Cool tattoo design here bruh. Your style is more organized than my style when rending line art images. You have an end image in mind while I just ad lib the whole line art as I go along even with geometric guides. Anyway, Buddha is definitely a wise choice for a wise friend of yours. Congratulations on the curie vote :D
