Digital Design and Illustration of Tattoos with Procreate
Learn to create blackwork designs ready to be transferred to the skin
In almost no time at all, Procreate has become the essential tool for digital illustration on the iPad due to its intuitive interface and the variety of resources and artistic styles for which it can be used.
One of the disciplines that has been revolutionized by the emergence of Procreate, is tattoo design. Tania Maia, a Brazilian tattoo artist based in Peru and three-time participant in the NY Empire State Tattoo Expo, incorporates Procreate into her creative process, which has hugely simplified her work and allows her to obtain more precision and flexibility in her designs.
In this Domestika course, she teaches you her process for creating digital illustrations ready to be transferred to the skin or framed as illustrations.
Start off by getting to know Tania as well as her career and influences within the tattoo world.
Learn to design and illustrate your tattoos in three phases: preproduction, production, and postproduction.
In preproduction, discover how to put together a brief, find references, and create a collage to give you an idea of what the final tattoo will look like.
Next, in the production phase, work on the outline, or “skeleton” of your design. Then explore how to create variations of the same design in order to have different options to present according to the client’s requests. The last part of the production process is adding shadows, volume, and texture with simple tricks that Tania teaches you.
