It's great except for that one little thing, but no one will notice it. Only fooling.

I think he's just pulling your leg. It looks great!

I waited 2 years to get in with Hooper. It's tough being patient but the rewards last a lifetime. Having someone who's not going to do the work prepare a drawing might be entertaining but it's not likely going to impress a capable tattoo artist. The reason you go to someone with talent isn't to get them to reproduce someone else's work - it's to get them to be inspired by their own abilities and creativity. Ideally the references you bring with you on a consult are from the artist who is going to do the work.

I think he's got skills. The blacks look to be well saturated and set in there. There is contrast in the shading. He's using the available space well. I like the style - but style is just a personal taste issue in any case.

Hey all, haven't been around for a while but I did go through another shading session with Chad on the big bat that I thought I would share.
