 how's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week my client Miguel is coming back for the second time from germany to get another tattoo the concept that we're going to be doing today is la catrina now for those of you who don't know what a catrina is woman or male dress up as a skeleton on Dia de los Muertos to celebrate our ancestors and that's what we got going on today so with that being said let's get this day started how you doing bro doing good yourself i'm doing good i'm i'm starving bro yeah oh me too me too get some get some food get some damn oh yeah it came out crazy it came out real good everywhere i go i get compliment on it what are what are your ideas keeping it mexican heritage yeah let me let me start looking at images yeah man the way that he'll look is crazy bro i'm just looking at it actually just attracts my attention all right let's start looking for things let's figure this out all right yes sir hey oh yeah are you ready no but all right let's do it it's gonna be an easy day too uniform how long how long do you think i would even say like 30 minutes ah there you wish oh that song stuck in my head now bro oh the weather is nice though fresh yeah it's fresh makes me want to drink hot chocolate and a concha perfect right there huh i like that's good this is a good stand so look at that it's a good stand so it's not even coming off you know what bro let's call it a day go home just just keep the stencil bro this is a good stencil look at that bro this is a good satisfying oh there but i put this on tiktok just like pulling off the stencil satisfying so the reason why we have a big gap here in the middle uh it's a three finger rule uh he's in the military and he's um it's a requirement for them to have uh the three finger rule so he has this thing where like you submit when there you go for promotion submit your photo but like overall i think most of the military is generally positive towards tattooing yeah it's just you have to have certain limitations so like it won't take away from the professionalism uh the areas that i'm gonna be focusing on to kind of go more in depth based on what i'm looking at is the hair because my reference is completely black i mean the hair just looks completely black there's no textures there's no dimension or nothing so i'm gonna take you guys through my thought process on how i'm gonna figure out how to make the the the hair flow a little bit better and on the eye sockets i like the eye socket so i feel like i can go in depth with that and um that's pretty much it those are the two areas that i really want to focus on i think that's it let's go my mom like that yeah what did she say it's like it's like it's like it's like she's like i just like i just don't like you getting uh stabbed millions of times i was like i know but do they look good she's like yeah they look good i was like all right that's all i need to know that's it so and i'm just feeling the flow of the hair to be honest i'm just just feeling go with the flow how fun with it you know i'm gonna add a curl right here but i'm also gonna say that if you are not a hundred percent into freehanding and into uh freehanding or going with the flow with hair make sure you find a reference so you can kind of go based off that the more you study the funner it gets because you're not stressing about oh man i don't have a reference for this so now i gotta find something that looks similar and i can't find that reference so now i gotta spend another two to three hours finding the right concept or the right the right reference to make sure that it fits the face you know and highly recommend for you guys to study as much as you can and once you have that uh in your brain everything's gonna be like muscle memory you're just gonna do it without even thinking about it and you're just gonna enjoy the process even better following this line i'm gonna go here stretch it this way and just continue the flow of this line here the way i think about it is like swirls right now i'm just using the liner just to kind of create some sort of map we go here boom follow up this line here and like i said always running my machine at 5.0 it never changes i'm gonna make sure the side of this face is super sharp that way it looks like three-dimensional super hd there you go i'm just creating the map right now i'm also paying attention to my highlights so i know that if the hair is going this way that means that the hair is going to be darker and then the way i see it is if the hair starts getting a little wavy right here i know that this is my highlight area because it's that area that's creating that curve it's going to give it that dimension the good thing about creating a map with your liner is that just in case you know there's an area that you're like you know i'm not really feeling that area too much that's why i like doing it with the liner because it gives me a chance just in case i don't like a spot i can adjust it this curve right here is going to be the biggest highlight of this hair so this here i'm going to make sure that this is what's going to make the hair stand out i'm going to go in and then once i do that i am going to create that highlight here on this corner see that i'm just i'm already creating that that highlight on the hair i'm going to make this the longest there you go now that i have the map of the face what i'm going to do is switch from my seven round liner to my eleven curve map and now i'm going to use that to start doing a little bit more of the flow of the hair with the mac i'm able to do soft shading i'm able to add a little bit more dimension to the hair just have a seven round liner set just a seven round pretty tight i like envy he runs out of these about to do some white highlights if you don't make the sound effect it doesn't work i'll do the little glare on the eye too the end sound effects bro you gotta if you if you were to give this a sound effect a sound a sound ready i'm about to go all right right here i'm gonna do this line right here ready one two three that's definitely that sounds like uh like uh like a motorcycle that's
