Last year I created a half sleeve tattoo in polynesian style for a Dutch customer. It's a bit of a mixed tribal style, it has some stylized flowers and other repetitive shapes:
Unfortunately the tattoo artist applied the stencil too small, so it now needs some extensions.
I marked the upper shoulder part that had to be inked.
I created a basic sketch and once it was approved I finalized it. To give you an idea how that process works I shot a short movie and placed it on youtube:

It has been really nice job to do some filming and editing for my latest design "tutorial" First I had to set up my new camera (Panasonic HDC-SD9) which records in Full HD quality ;) on a sd-card. I recorded several scenes and edited it in Windowns Movie maker, I'm not a pro on editing, so I used this simple tool to add some titles and credits. Then uploaded it to youtube and Voila! here it is!
In this video to show you how I create and uptimized my designs. This time it's a forearm sketch in tribal style, which I'm tracing in the first video, I posted the sketches yesterday, so you can find it in my previous posting. In the second one you see how I scan the design, uptimize it and make a high resolution linedrawing in Photoshop CS3.
I received the following e-mail from my customer when he got the high resolution design: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
