Tattoo Body Templates?
Hi,
Im currently putting together some drawings for an apprenticeship tattoo portfolio and i have done quite alot of portrait and landscape and object drawings so i am now going to put a few tattoo designs together and i was wondering if people knew any sites where i could get some body outlines to draw my tattoo designs on, ushc as the ones you see in tattoo shops. By this i dont just mean the anatomical; figure outline i mean the outlines where a real tattoo artists would draw onto if doing a tattoo on your arm for example, whereby the shape fits that area of the body and the type of thing you would see displayed on flash cards in a tattoo studio.
I have looked but found little stencils for me to draw inside of, sorry if i have worded this badly its just im not sure what they are called exactly, any help would be massively appreciated.
I understand what you are looking for but I am not sure if there are templates available. At least I haven't seen any. I suggest maybe talking to a physical therapist, acupuncturist or massage person. The reason being is you are looking for more muscle/skeletal structure components.
Most of what an artist does is based solely on the clients muscle outlines to define placement.
I know that doesn't really answer your question but hopefully it gives you avenues of research you hadn't thought about! Once you get your portfolio together stop by http://www.tatznw.com and post up some of your work. I would be interested in checking it out.
