Explore the traditional tattoo style of illustration and design using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop methods.
- [Instructor] Welcome…to Drawing Vector Graphics Laboratory.…Design is style-driven.…Many in our industry still hold to a view…that we all should have our own signature style…we are recognized for.…I think it's fine to have one or more favorites…but style, in my opinion, should always be dictated…by the given client product…or service it's being used for.…So I like to explore styles, try new styles…and in this movie we're going to take a stab…at creating traditional-looking tattoo art in vector form.…
It all starts with reference…and these are reference images…of the specific style we're going to approach in this movie.…And when you look at this traditional-based tattoo style,…there's certain characteristics that are going to give us clues…as to how to pull this off in vector form.…Now some of the stylistic references in this style…that I really like is how black will be fused…to the outline color black…and then it kind of fades out…into either the background color or a lighter color.…
That's one part of this style…
