The Process

So here is one of my sketches for a sleeve I will be starting tomorrow.. This man came to me with no backstory or motivation behind this tattoo other than wanting something “bad ass”!! He wanted tropical looking flowers with some water, wants solid and bright colors, brought in some great reference photos and said have fun with it.. The flowers here in my sketch do not actually exist in the real world, I wanted to create something truly unique for him.. This project gets underway tomorrow and I will do my best to keep posting photos of this process as it continues.. Thanks for looking!!
