How to draw a Maori tribal shoulder tattoo

Hi!

I have been working on a new custom tattoo piece, and I would like to show you a few photo's of the design process.

It's a step by step example, first I make a rough sketch with pencil and I tweak and alter it till the customer is satisfied with the design.
Then I trace the lines and shapes with a black marker.

I will post the pictures soon.

Kind regards, Mark Storm

Final traced tattoo drawings in Maori style

Hi,

Once a pencil sketch is completed, I trace the image with a black marker and erase all pencil stripes.
The drawings are scanned at 300 DPI and optimized in Photoshop CS3.
Here are the finalized images of the surfer tattoo design and the chest design both in Maori style.



Any questions or comments? Please let me know!

In the week ahead I will be working on 2 other custom designs, one tattoo design for the calf and a Maori chest piece.
You'll see the sketches ASAP.

Kind regards,
