The following drawings are for a tattoo design, which I have been asked to do for my best friend from high school. Once I have finished and compiled each separate drawing into one slick arrangement, it will fill the entire underside of her forearm. The finished product is yet to come!
I drew these with a BIC mechanical graphite 0.5 pencil, and I used some photographs as a reference to help me create a somewhat realistic look. This has been a completely new horizon for me, since illustration and graffiti has been my mainstay up until now.
Enjoy!
