I really like tattoos, but they can be overwhelming to draw. I tired going for the yakuza style in this one and changed how it looked soooo many times 😫😩 let me know what you think of the coloring and improvements that could be made to the lighting and background!Mar 26, 2021

Concerning the background: i like the mood and the lighting actually a lot! There's just some tiny perspective weirdness here and there, like on the window. It's a complicated perspective to get right and I know that perspective grids suck, but maybe try to introduce those to your working routine, so these little mistakes can be avoided

As a tattoo artist first of all I must express how much I appreciate tattooed characters! Drawing tattoos is hard, its like a whole drawing within a drawing! Good job!
Just maybe remember, that only fresh tattoos are highly contrasted and that skin is generally pretty shiny, so maybe introduce more shading and lighting on the tattoo, too? Yes it would make it less prominent, but it could make for a better whole composition if the tattoos aren't drawing too mich attention away from the rest of the painting due to their high contrast
