A kind of tribalish symmetrical star tattoo, and a sewn one - not sure about the polka dots...
Actually, this was a "no inspiration" day. :(

Actualy, I was about to post some very colorful stuff, but given I saw halloween themed things everywhere on the net, I opted for a darker design. The vivid one will be for next sunday :p
And I think I found a way to smooth a bit the grain of the pencil without making it look too blurry, happy me.

On a side note, I'm fighting with Blogspot's new themes right now, to update to one of their new template but to keep the same look (except it's a bit wider). I hope I didn't break anything.

Symmetrical gothic tattoo design

A kind of gothic / tribal tattoo design. I like the carving effect, as in old churches.

This one took forever and a day, just because I'm effing slow at shading. It's not that it's so difficult to shade, it's that's it's very difficult not to smudge what has already been shaded. (Anyone got some tips to avoid the smudging? So far I use post-it notes to mask some parts of the drawing.)

Black ink + pencils (mostly HB, and a bit of 2B and 5B).
The shadow around the design was done on computer, because I was to afraid to mess everything and smuuuudge the whole stuff. 

Tribal techno wings ?
