Hey guys, this is Nicholas Crites from Uzumaki Corp Tattoos. I am a global moderator at www.teachme2tattoo.com slash forum. And we had one of the members on the forum. I think it was infamous having issues with sketchy drawings. We had a discussion about how he should be making them flow like you do a tattoo. That way the stencils are already set up perfectly to do the tattoo. It gets your hand into that memory to do the lines a specific way. I do it all in one pass. It gets your wrist used to that motion. So we are just going to do a really quick rose. What I am going to be using is the Stabler Marzlumograph pencils using a 4H, a 2H, an HB, and possibly an 8B depending on whether or not I feel like having line weight. But the reason why I picked these pencils is the 4H is extremely light. I will use that to get a basic understanding of the size that I am going to be doing the tattoo design. The 2H is a little darker so you can actually see what you are doing. And then the HB is to do the final lines. I would use a 2B or an 8B to do thick dark lines to add line weight. Now after you get your actual size, where you are going to be doing your rose, then you want to start mapping it out. So this is the middle bulb, let's say. And then you have your petals obviously. This step is not really necessary, it is just an extra step that some people do. I just want to show you just so you can get an understanding of where everything is going to go. Then you start using your 2H and you start really mapping it out where all your lines are going to be. Here you can still do your regular sketching lines. A lot of people find it easier to do sketchy lines rather than perfect straight lines. Most of this is going to be either erased or whatever you use tracing paper. When you do tracing, you are obviously not going to trace these lines. The extra lines you are going to trace what you need. I hope you guys can actually see this. I can't see what you see. My hand might be blocking it. Then you do a little fade away with this. The folds and the folds. Then you take your HP minds extremely tiny, and you can get a new one. And that's when we start doing perfect one pass. I'm trying not to use your fingers. I don't know if you noticed, but I'm actually holding, pushing the end up to my hand. I actually can't really use my fingers. It's all in your wrist. If you want you can add other details. You know, have some tears or whatever. Mostly what you are using, your light scratchy lines forwards. It's mostly just a guy, kind of like a tattoo stencil. Some people even go even further and they'll only do their lines forward. Like you would do a tattoo. Really during dry, it's not really that much of a deal. Do backwards or forwards. Just do whatever you feel is comfortable for you. I do my folds. I try to do them opposite. So there's something on the bottom, top bottom. There's going to be top then bottom. You can either do it all the way down like these or you can stop halfway. You can go even into even more detail if you want. I like doing my roses with all these lines. It just gives me a little bit more detail. It kind of makes them pop a little more and it gives the actual shape of the pedal. If you color it properly or shade it properly, however you want to finish the design, you can give it even more depth and shape to your pedals. You can just hang the layer of shades, color layers, and proper. It tends to not push as hard when doing this just to get the inner lines. That's a quick demonstration on how to do an easy line drawing with rose. I just eliminate those scraggy lines. Today we're going to do a straight line pencil sketching. There are 26 bucks at staples. I'm going to do a straight line drawing with a little bit more depth and shape to your pedals. That's pretty much it.
