 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week? I'm doing a very simple piece, which is a Mayan statue and I love doing statues They're so they're so imperfect that they look perfect as you may know the tribes from back in the days They were carving the stone to create this massive projects to dedicate it to their gods and So what I'm gonna be doing to give it that effect that it looks like stone is on the edges of the statue I'm gonna be doing like scribbly lines You know like little cracks here and there to make it look like the stone is chipping off and that's what's going to give it The effect that is stone and for everybody who speaks Spanish para la gente que habla español desafortunadamente esta semana no pudo agregar subtítulos porque he estado demasiado ocupado y agregar subtítulos la verdad se toma un poco de horas varias horas la verdad y mucha paciencia entonces este desafortunadamente se me acabó el tiempo esta semana pero para la próxima semana les prometo subtítulos So with that being said, uh, let's get to it in one word Describe your personality Perfect, thank you In one word describe your personality Chill in one word describe your personality dark In one word describe your personality In one word describe your personality All right, my guys, let me get this out of my system The concept that we do in the forum is a Maya and statue una statua Maya What I want to focus on is how to execute and how to give the effect that looks like a statue with only Using the liner now. It's not a challenge that I'm only using one single needle or just a liner I'm just saying that because I feel like using the liner might give me my Help me a lot to really do the texture and the style that I'm going for so I don't know if I'm going to be using a 7 round liner or a 14 round liner or maybe a 14 round shader. So Let's get to it. I don't got a lot to explain to be honest. This is what I'm gonna be working on boom right there I'm gonna use I'm thinking maybe a 7 round liner to be honest so Let's get this day started All right, so today is unexpected. I was not playing on recording today, but hey, it's a cool piece So let's see what we talk about today. I'm thinking I'm thinking that I'm gonna be using just one needle Either a 7 round liner 14 round shader or a 14 round liner I'm not sure which one I'm gonna be using until I'm in there So I'm gonna start with testing out all three and see which one fits better or which one feels more comfortable to do that Whole thing with it. So let's put on the stencil for now My do a tutorial with like a weird voice. Hi guys So that way I plan my stencils Do that SpongeBob? SpongeBob voice This is how SpongeBob sounds in Spanish. Look My best impression He's cute You know that you're putting them good I thought I was a wrongy boy Patricio Bobo Esponja pantalones cuadrados Si se le dice I watched SpongeBob in Mexico for like 12 years, bro Alright, so I've been I'm putting on the stencil or the stencil stuff all the way down to the hand I'm exaggerating because you never know I would hate to put on the perfect stencil and something didn't stick like that It's a pet peeve of mine. So I'd rather just complimentary massage And the whole thing Damn, that's a good stencil right here Perfect stencil, look at that Man, we're gonna get down today. I was not even playing on recording there, but now I'm like excited Look at that. That looks so sick So what we have here, this is a 14 round shader. Well, this is a seven Seven round liner and the final option for me is going to be a 14 round liner But after putting on the stencil, I realized that the face Uh Has a lot of open skin So I'm not going to be using a liner for that area. I'm actually going to use a 15 curved mag But the rest of it is going to be with the liner And just little little changes as I'm going so about having fun The reason why I need to test out which one is is going to help me the most It's because as soon as I choose a needle, I got to stay consistent with the same exact size of my cartridge Consistency throughout the whole tattoo was going to make this look like real statue So let's see See Nice. Okay. Okay. Okay Okay. Okay. I see I like it So far. I like it Okay 14 round liner. That's what I'm going to be using. I like the way it feels right now I really like the way it feels consistent Just what I need to create, you know texture Yep 14 it is Let's go So after doing almost the whole tattoo I'm ready to explain how I've been doing the texture And with one needle. So now what I'm going to start doing is I'm going to show you guys the way I'm going to do this area, which is you know, what I've been doing throughout the whole entire tattoo So now I'm going to use I've been using my 14 round liner My voltage is a 5.0 So I'm going to start with my medium gray This little corner right here You got to heal the rattle. I like the rattle When the needle is rattling Can you hear it? That noise right there means it's good. So I'm just doing texture like this with my medium gray Go all the way up And as I get closer to the middle My dots and scribbles start separating So at the beginning I am consistent And as I get closer they separate see that So we're going to do the same on the other side same thing Stay consistent And as you get closer they separate So that is my first layer My second layer is with my lightest gray So without cleaning the needle Just dip it in your lightest gray and start behind Or I guess start around this area So start blending it out And everything's going to start mixing together Focus on the areas that you have like ball spots and just go in Like this little ball spot right here. We'll take advantage of that ball spot right there And fade it out. There we go Do the same on the other side See I noticed that there's a ball spot right here Perfect And then finish it off by attacking this center part Separate it that way because I'm what I'm going to end up doing on this center part I'm going to add some white highlights on the ball spots Which is going to make it look like it's glowing Like a little shine to it And there you go. That's exactly how I've been doing the whole statue with my 14 round liner At 5.0 voltage Thank you guys so much for tuning in and watching this new video I just wanted to say that it's such a great feeling and it makes me feel so grateful That you guys have created such a positive environment in my in my channel that it is It is amazing, you know You guys coming into the comments sections and you guys share nothing but knowledge Positivity and great vibes and honestly, I couldn't ask for more.
