 How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel? Thank you for coming back and tuning back in to watch a brand new video And if you're new to this channel welcome to the club. So lean back Get your popcorn get your notebook get your iPad cuz me and you I can learn something today Let's go in one word. Tell me what you're doing today Living oh in one word tell me what you're doing today In one word, what are you doing today? I've never done this this concept before which is Pegasus and the client that I'm doing it on He's actually in the last two videos. He got the cover up here He got Poseidon on his forum and now he's getting Pegasus on the outer form to Finally stop wrapping up his sleeve and you guys are gonna be able to see how my tattoos look after two weeks and one Week later, so you're gonna see the healing process and you're gonna see the fully healed tattoo And yeah, so it's gonna be a great day. So this is the concept here We have Pegasus and as you can see I'm gonna be focusing on Explaining how I do the torso area because I feel that that's the area that has the most Soft shading no texture. So this is this is where for me like not adding texture to a piece It's rare because I love I love texture I'm gonna add some color here on the background with some yellows and some oranges to match the Poseidon that I did last week So today's video sponsored by the No, I'm nervous Today's video is sponsored by a higher level tattoo supply store located in Phoenix They recently dropped their new Brand of cartridges here and I'm gonna be using them today and the sizes that I'm gonna be using is seven round liner 15 curved mag and My favorite 14 round shader. So thank you guys so much for Supporting me and thank you guys so much for providing me with all these cool products And if you guys want to order some go ahead and go to their link and Buy some product and they can ship them up to you and I'm also wearing their shirt today. Look at that Kiss the coa kinder logo saucy This is a week later, I mean two weeks later fully healed So you can see all the texture still there nothing of the previous tattoo Okay, obviously we have not finished the tiger on the top I have not done anything to the teeth the whiskers nothing on the mouse nothing as far as the face though Man texture everywhere zoom in into it zoom in zoom in Fully healed done and then we have Poseidon that we did last week still in the healing process, but as you can tell Colors are bright So let's put on the stencil real quick And I'm also gonna be adding a little bit of yellows to match this area with pegasus and Poseidon So I'm gonna connect them with using yellows and oranges, and I'm gonna go for it right Here Look at that Let's go All right, so we finally are at the area where I wanted to kind of go in depth and explain a little bit more How I would execute soft shading around the stomach of the horse So this the this part of the horse has a lot of muscles on the chest area the stomach So I like that a lot. So I'm gonna be using a 15 curved mag Throughout the whole thing So I'm gonna dip it in in my medium tone here, and I'm gonna build up my tones Here you go So let's start with this area here. I'm running my machine of five point zero and Right now I'm just kind of doing like little brushes little strokes Building it up Good star good star. It's about taking your time. I feel like when it comes down to soft shading It's really important to be taking your time and Build it up. I'm actually gonna add more contrast I kind of want to I'm looking at my tone and I feel like it's so little it's It's light. I feel like I can go darker than that. So I'm gonna dip it in in my solid black And start making it darker without cleaning the needle. There we go. There it is right there Yeah, I feel like you just need a more contrast. I Need that stomach to be really dark So that way when it whenever I go up to the chest It's gonna contrast super nice going from super dark to super light So now I'm gonna dip it in my medium To fade it towards the end and there's so many ways that you can execute like soft shading This is this is my way of doing it and the way I feel the most comfortable. How would you do it? Drop a comment and let me know how You executed if you have a different approach. What voltage do you use? Go now it's taking shape. I can already see like the muscles coming together And I'm ready to start blending it out going towards the chest And I'm also using the corner of the mag to create some sharp edges When I do when I use max like a 27 curve mag or a 15 curve max I like using a lot of the edge to create like lines To do basically use it as a liner I'm sure you heard that you're not supposed to be using max for lining and It is true. It is true But like I mentioned before this is just a way I like doing my my tattoos and honestly Sometimes it's good to break the rules, you know, I mean and do your own thing figure it out on Figure it out and Make it your own style. You don't need to be following rules. I feel like nobody has ever Came up with a new style by following the rules So if you already know what you're doing if you already a tattoo artist You already know how to use your machine. You already know how to pack in color You already know you already an experienced artist I think it's you know, it's time for you to try something new. You know, I mean step out of your comfort zone try something new I Don't know just push it push your limits But if you're a beginner artist Follow the rules for now and right now. I'm just dipping back and forth So I'm moving up. I'm gonna dip it in my medium tone now And now I'm gonna start fading it out Slowly and there you go. That's the way I would do it Pretty much nothing else to explain That's the movement I'm gonna keep doing over and over again And I don't think there's much more that I can explain besides that I just go back and forth in between my tones and Build it up until I like what I see. I like running my machine at 5.0 with 15 curves mag it gives me a chance to build it without Thinking about that I'm a scar the skin and I'm knowing some cases with other artists That's not the case, you know, I'm pretty sure some of you run it at 10 or a 9 or an 8 and still don't scar the skin But that's just what works for me. And if you want to give it a try, let me know if it works Let's go Thank you guys for tuning back in and watching the whole video.
