Project Areas of illustration part 3

Exercise : A tattoo


This time I have to design a tattoo for a friend that is based on the word Mum.  Than I have to design a greeting card for his mum.

I found a few images that represent a female tattoo.  Some of them are simply and some of them are more complicated in terms of colours and design.

My tattoo will be based on the shape of the swan that represents motherhood to me.

I would like to make it as smooth in shapes as I can.  I found a few pictures of the swans with the chicks.

  I am very happy at this stage of my work.  I am on good way to keep it as simple as I can.  I need to remember that this is a tattoo not a painting therefore, it should not contain too many details.  I went on one website that says how to make a good tattoo and how to design. According to that website, it should have only a few simple colours and a very simple shape.





This is my tattoo.  I managed to keep it very simple and I used a bright pink colour in the middle of black heart.  Why did I use a pink colour?  I made a decision based on the current subject.  Motherhood reminds me of a very warm feeling therefore the colour should be a bright and warm.
