I recently showed my artwork to a tattoo artist and he really liked my artistic style and told me to come back with flash sets. I know what they are but I don't know how to make them. Any help please?
I make my outline sheets by hand, then scan and print out multiple copies. Then I bust out on the color scheme with regular watercolor pencils for a rough draft. Once I;'m content I make an exact copy of my original outline sheet on heavy weight Bristol paper and either use Prizma pencils or watercolor to fill in the linework. I typically offer sets of 5 and 10 (5 is 5 color sheets and 5 linework sheets, and so on.) and label each set as "set 1" and so on. From there, head up to kinkos and make a shitton of copies. keep the originals as master copies for future orders, do NOT laminate them. laminate a few sets and charge more for them. From there, go from shop to shop, haggle on $ and maybe your work will earn its own slot on the wall. Even a website for flash would help as well as a business card.
I prefer to use Inkscape to figure out my color schemes, as it saves me a ton on material expenses. Designing flash can be expensive, so at least now you're warned.
what are they?????
ReplyDeleteTake 5-10 same size paper...
ReplyDeletepic a theme... butterflys or something
draw 3 to 5 different variations on each sheet
From my experience, this is what works for me.
