Line work

Hi there!

So these drawings I have started, probably around about March time. I really needed to just lose myself in something other than being a mum and a housewife etc cause let's face it, you need some YOU time...sometimes! So, I started properly drawing again around March, was after I got my third tattoo done I said to myself, 'I definitely want to do this!'. I've made a commitment to myself to try and draw at least once a day. Not easy with a baby but I do my best! 

These drawings here have all been pencil drawn first, then outlined with black marker. I don't use rulers, compasses or anything to help me draw. This is all free hand work. I have watermarked my images and would appreciate some credit for any of them being used or even mentioned for a tattoo or design for anything! So these are the first styles I worked on. 





This is an Alice in Wonderland tattoo design.
I kind of played around with it, made it a bit more fun and added different elements of Wonderland to it. I suppose this could be a thigh piece or even something on the back!



This is an tie piece anchor tattoo design.
I absolutely love nautical tattoos so I wanted to do my own but with lots of detail and to include a time piece in it. Again, you can see it's not perfectly symmetrical but as I said above, I don't use any instruments to aid my drawing!




This is a more traditional style of tattoo design. I included a compass, laurel wreath and a swallow. I ended up colouring this one eventually and used only yellow, red and black. Again, this style is my favourite kind to do!




This is a tattoo design I created for my partner. He said he wanted something to represent him. So I chose a heart to represent him being a good, loving person. I then made a tree growing from the heart to symbolise our family growing and then three birds for the three of us. I added detail to the heart as he's quite unique and has an intricit personality!






This is a pin up mermaid style tattoo design.
As I said before, I like nautical themes and I also really like pin up girls. Especially Sailor Jerry ones. So I decided to attempt this one. I'm not very good at drawing people but it was a first attempt so I'm glad I gave it a shot!













So yeah! I'm still going with the drawing. I actually worked on a new piece today. I have more to put up that's mainly colour work that I've previously done over the last 3 weeks. So watch this space! Post soon.
