Composition

Want to become a tattoo artist? Here is a guide on composition for you to use in your tattooing career. even by watching tv!

Learn how to design and tattoo with this tutorial on drawing. There are a few things that every tattooer should know, and this tutorial will teach you all of them.

anatomy

Tattoo artists design and create tattoos by drawing on the skin. They also have to know how the human body works to create the art they're creating. In this course, we'll be going to the basics of how the human body works, including all parts of the body and things that have to do with tattooing.

Composition

Composition is the way in which the artist or photographer decides where to place the elements of a work. There are many different types of composition, but there is no one “right” way to compose a work.The most important thing when composing your work is to have an idea in mind before you start. This idea should be based on your own observations and not something you have seen before. A good composition will use the space available well and will create balance and interest by placing objects at interesting angles within that space.

S-SHAPED COMPOSITIONS-shaped composition is used to create landscapes.The aim is to use the sinuous line to lead your eyes from the end of the “S” to a more distant object.

V-shaped compositionIt works best as a flattened triangular
shape, as in lines of perspective,
creating a natural dynamic
that leads to a focal point

Design Small tattoos or logos

Composition in logos is a core concept we can use to design small tattoos. book in for one of my lectures to get a step-by-step guide on how to use composition to design a beautiful small tattoo.A logo is a visual representation of an organisation, product or service. The logo is designed to help the audience recognise and understand your business in a brief or extended time frame. In order to do this you will deliver a recognizable mark or design inspired by brand values that can be used as your icon.


Gestalt principles

The human nervous system tends to perceive patterns, organize them, and fill in missing information to make a coherent whole. There are six main ways in which the human brain seems to group visual patterns that are presented together:relative size, contiguity, similarity, closure, figure/ground, and common fate.Typical objects such as faces receive special treatment by our brains in that they are structured by gestalt schema more tightly than objects perceived as disorganized.

Gestalt principles can be seen at work whenever we perceive or make sense of a whole form in some way other than the sum of its discrete parts (higher-level structure), as opposed to when we analyze the parts separately, as with formal analysis.In such circumstances, we tend to be especially sensitive to these kinds of effects because they often prove useful in everyday activities like reading, driving a car, or assembling furniture.

Gestalt principles like fed ex logoThe logo of the company consists of a arrow which stands in the middle between first and last letters of the name. It is placed so that it looks like to be moving. The arrow shows that FedEx goes fast, accurate and strives for perfection. The colors of the logo symbolizes luck and inspiration.

Continuation like Amazon logoThe Amazon logo is symbolic of the company. The arrow pointing its way to the future, or at least to a successful IPO is offset from the smiley, showing Amazon's confidence in what the future holds for it in terms of investors and for its customers. The simplicity and consistency of the logo show Amazon's values, which are reflected in its products: innovation.

VISUAL WEIGHT AND GESTALT
One of the ideas behind this series is to point out how much gestalt principles contribute to design principles.


  • Figure-ground - Visual weights can be used to separate the two by giving the figure more weight than the background.

  • Proximity - The space between elements leads to different amounts of local white space and different densities of the objects within the space.

  • Similarity and contrast - You can use visual weight to signal either. Contrast will lead to greater visual weight in the contrasting element. Elements with similar visual weight will naturally exhibit similarity.

  • Past experience - The viewer’s experience will contribute to how much intrinsic interest they think an element holds.

  • Focal point (more in composition vol2) - Points of attraction in a composition are focal points, and they carry more visual weight than other elements.



Now that we’ve seen how much gestalt contributes to visual weight, let’s look at an example of a relatively simple tattoo design.

Visual DirectionIf visual weight is about attracting the eye to a particular location, then visual direction is about leading the eye to the next location. Visual direction is the perceived direction of visual forces. Think of it as the direction you would expect an element to move if it were in motion.
Visual direction serves a similar function to visual weight in that it’s trying to get you to notice certain parts of the composition. Whereas visual weight is shouting “Look at me!,” visual direction is saying “Look over there!”
As with visual weight, you can modify the characteristics of an element to suggest different directions, although fewer characteristics are at your disposal than with weight.


  • Shape of element - An element’s shape might create an axis through it and this axis can suggest a direction. The prime axis is typically seen as running parallel to an element’s visual direction.

  • Location of elements - Visual weight is a force that can appear to attract or repel a neighboring element. This force will move in a direction that connects both elements.

  • Subject matter of elementAn arrow, a pointing finger, or the gaze of the eye all suggest looking in a certain direction.

  • Movement - An element could literally move through your design, and its movement will have a direction.

  • Structural net - Every composition has a structural skeleton, with forces that naturally run along and through different axes. This probably needs a little more explanation.



As the eye scans a canvas, it is drawn to certain parts of the painting, and it is repelled from other parts. It seems as if there are magnetic forces pulling at the eye, and these forces depend on the composition of elements in the painting. If a canvas has a structure that directs our eye around the canvas in a certain way, we can refer to this structure as the “structural net” of that painting.

The center and the four corners of a rectangular canvas act like magnets to the eye. The strongest magnet is in the center, though not the geometric center of the canvas. Rather, the center that attracts the eye is the optical center, and it sits just above the true geometric center.

Tattoos with the Rule of Thirds

How to Make a Composition for Small Tattoos with the Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds is one of the most fundamental principles of composition. It is a system of dividing a picture into three equal parts horizontally and vertically. This division makes both the composition and the final work easier to view.

What is the Rule of Thirds?The Rule of Thirds is a compositional technique that is used to help you place objects in a picture so that they are not placed in the same spot. You can use the Rule of Thirds to place objects in two or three dimensional spaces, but it is most often used to place objects in a photograph. The Rule of Thirds is a simple compositional technique that is used to help the viewer understand the subject in the picture. The Rule of Thirds is also commonly used in other types of artwork, such as paintings and drawings.

How to use the Rule of Thirds to make small tattoosThe Rule of Thirds is a guideline that can be applied to photography and drawing. It is a rule that helps create balance in a composition. You can use the Rule of Thirds to make small tattoos. When you use the Rule of Thirds, you should start by drawing a grid on the skin or paper when you design. In addition to the Rule of Thirds, you should also think about the size of your tattoo. If you want a small tattoo, then you should stencil the lines instead of drawing. If you want a bigger tattoo, then you can draw the lines.

Conclusion.The rule of thirds is a composition technique that is used to determine where to place the subject or focal point in an image. It is used to create balance and symmetry in an image. It is said that photography is a form of art, and this rule is used to create an image's composition. The rule of thirds can be used in a variety of ways. You can use it to determine the placement of an object in a photograph or to create a tattoo. It is also used to determine the placement of a subject in a painting. The rule of thirds can be used in many different artistic mediums.

How to Design Anything by Watching TV Shows or MoviesDesigning anything is difficult. It's not always about the skills you have, it's about the skills you learn. If you want to learn how to design anything, you have to watch TV shows or movies. Yes, TV shows and movies are not just for entertainment. They are also for learning new skills. You can learn how to do anything from cooking to playing a musical instrument to designing a home. So, the next time you want to learn something new, watch TV or movies. You will learn a skill that can be useful for life.

How can TV and movies help you learn to design?There is no doubt that TV and movies can teach you a lot of things. One thing they can teach you is how to design anything. You can watch TV shows or movies and then try to imagine what the characters in the show or movie are wearing. If you do this, you will be able to design new clothes that you can make for yourself. You can also watch TV shows or movies and try to imagine what the setting is like. This can help you to design things like room designs and posters. In turn, you will be able to design anything.

How to watch TV shows or moviesWhen you want to design something, you don't always have to go through the effort of coming up with the idea yourself. Sometimes all you need to do is watch a TV show or movie. A lot of TV shows and movies are based off of real life events and people. Watching these shows and movies can teach you how to design something. There are many different ways in which you can watch TV shows and movies to help you with your design. You can watch the show or movie all the way through, or you can pause it when the characters are doing something you want to imitate. You can also watch the show or movie on your computer and highlight the parts you want to focus on. You can also record TV shows and movies and watch them later.

Drawing

Drawing has a variety of media, techniques and processes associated with it. The term drawing is usually limited to a specific means of producing an image on the plane surface, which is flat and supports permanent, two-dimensional images. The result of drawing can also be termed a sketch when it is not executed for its own sake, but as a preparatory study for an artistic composition.

Drawing is a visual art that one can easily start when one is young. There is no strict age limit for becoming a good artist and it requires minimum skills to be exploited as a profession. It is considered as one of the easiest methods to learn in art, which takes almost no time to master and appeals to the mass

Why Drawing

In order to tattoo, you have to draw well. Or more correctly, in order to tattoo well, you must be able to draw very well. No matter what tattooing style you choose, the chance that it will look good without drawing skills is zero.

When it comes to the idea of drawing, the end result may be judged by very different standards. For example in graphic design, drawing quality or artistic merit is not seen as a must-have aspect. Regardless of how a logo for a bank is designed, it will always look pretty much like every other logo for banks: it will have curves that look like laurels and serifs to make it less modern looking.A logo is too important to experiment with new types of shapes if you want to get your point across and make sure the audience remembers your brand.

However Drawing is a great way to help you start thinking about ideas. I don't think it's a coincidence that some of the best business people in the world doodle when they get stuck on a problem. Drawing helps you look at things from different angles, which can help you see a solution you would have missed otherwise.



Creativity from drawing

When you make art, you stimulate parts of your brain that are responsible for imagination. The more you use your creative skills, the better your imagination will become.

As well as improved brain activity, studies have linked drawing to other health benefits including normalising heart rate, improving blood pressure and cortisol levels. It has also been reported that drawing increases dopamine levels to make us feel better.

anatomy

We all know that tattoo artist design and create tattoos by drawing on the skin, but did you know that they also have to know how the human body works to create the art they're creating?In this course, we'll be going to the basics of how the human body works, including all parts of the body and their functions, to help you understand how to draw or design better faces, animals, fantasy creatures or even the composition of placing the design on the skin.I'll talk about how to make the design better fit the body, the placement of the design, and the type of skin tone you are designing for.

The basics of the human bodyAnatomy for tattoo artists is not just about the muscles, bones, and ligaments of the body, but also the structure of the skin. The skin is an organ that is very complex. The skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.The top layer of the skin is the epidermis, is made up of cells called keratinocytes.Tattoos are made up of pigments that are injected into the epidermis. The bottom layer of the skin is the dermis. It is made up of many layers of cells. Some of the cells in the dermis are fibroblasts, which produce the skin's elastic fibers. The color of the tattoo is determined by the thickness of the dermis. The top layer of the dermis is the papillary dermis, which contains the nerves that are responsible for sensation, and the subcutaneous tissue, which is made of fat cells.

How to make the design better fit the bodyThe human body is a complicated structure that comes in all different shapes and sizes. It is important to understand how the human body works before you even start drawing. The human body is made up of various layers, including the outer layer, the muscle layer, the fat layer, and the vascular layer.When you are drawing the human body, it is important to understand the anatomy of the body and the human face. There are different muscles that dictate the shape of the face, the facial bones that give the face a unique shape, and the tissue under the skin that is responsible for the color and texture of the face.
When you are drawing the human body, it is important to understand the anatomy so that you can put the face in the right position.
It is also important to understand the anatomy of the animal or fantasy creature that you are drawing so that you can put the right muscles in the right place.

How to make the design better fit the skinBefore designing a tattoo, you need to know how the human body works so that you can create a tattoo that fits the skin and looks amazing.The tattoo artist needs to know how the human body works to draw or design better faces, animals, fantasy creatures or even the composition of placing the design on the skin.The tattoo artist needs to understand that the human body is a living organism and needs to be treated like one. The tattoo artist needs to know how the body reacts to different movements, different temperatures, different colors and different pressures. These are just a few things that the tattoo artist needs to know. They need to know how to create a design that will be placed on the skin so that it looks good and fits the skin perfectly.

Conclusion.There is a lot of information to learn about the human body before you can start tattooing. If you have an interest in tattooing, you need to learn about the human body and how it works. Without knowing the basics of the human body, you will not be able to design and draw the best tattoos you can.A good way to learn about the human body is to read a book or take my course on human anatomy. This will give you a better understanding of the human body and help you create better tattoos.
