Kevin Campbell Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I did this walk-in last night, he wanted a pinup with "some herbage" incorporated into it. I put skin tone in the pinup coming off the black, but it didn't show up in the picture too well. I'm still trying to get my pinup shading on-point, I feel like it's always lacking, but I guess less is more sometimes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoosbyfox Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Aight here is what I see... the hand looks off. like too small for the body. i might have done the fingers straightened out with the joint in between the fingers. i would have hid the boob behind the arm as well. the anatomy is just a little off here and there... nothing super bad. she defiantly has some junk in the trunk haha. try shading pinups out with light or diluted brown. or even flesh tone and light pink. i normally dont use black unless it would be a really dark shadow spot, and even then i dont use much at all. thats what i see.

Kevin Campbell Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Right on! I see what you mean about the hand. I'll try brown next time in the shading as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok that you're not a tattooist, your opinion matters as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I don't think there's anything wrong with the ass location. It's purposefully exaggerated and shows off the legs and is the style you're going for and totally works. The boob though is almost at her shoulder and kinda weirds me out imagining that haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmagee23 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I like the butt. Agree about the boobs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight-Lines Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Sirblazealot should get in on this. Duffa and Ursula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Just a note on the comments about the boob, in real life a woman's breast should naturally fall between the shoulder and elbow. If yours don't you're probably wearing the wrong size bra! I guess I learned a few things in fashion college that I can use in the real world..... For me, when I am painting a lady head or pin up I use Ochre for skin tone, it's like a lighter brown/tan/sand colour. I don't know if anyone makes an Ochre tattoo ink but I imagine if not it would be the same as using a lighter brown. Brown mixed with orange or yellow maybe. Speaking of brown I've also noticed some old timers use black mixed with red in place of brown ink, way to dark for a pin up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
