Today’s essential question: How can I create an original tattoo in the style of another tattoo artist?
Today we will discuss different tattoo artists and how we can plan to design and create our own digital tattoos in Adobe Illustrator and AfterEffects. We will create a blog post about one of the tattoo artists and how they will inspire our own artwork.
Project Requirements:
- Part 1: Create a tattoo illustration inspired by the style of a tattoo artist using Adobe Illustrator.
- Size: 5in x 10in
- Unified Color Scheme
- Contrast draws attention to focal point
- Balance of Positive & Negative Space
- Line weight
- Well thought out placement and design
- No words should be used in your tattoo
- Part 2: An animation projecting the tattoo onto your arm using motion tracking in Adobe AfterEffects
- 10-15 seconds long
- High quality craftsmanship
- good quality video and animation

Today We Will:
- Look at different tattoo artists to inspire our own project
- Pick one artist to write a blog post answering the following questions:
- What do you like about the artist?
- What do you wish was different about their work?
- How do they use line weight and contrast in their work?
- How do they use positive and negative space?
- Does color impact the designs they make? If so how? If not how would using color improve the tattoos?
- Start to sketch our own tattoos to illustrate in Adobe Illustrator
