Pepper Shading Techniques for Tattooing

“You have reached the end of the course. Thank you very much for joining me in this course. Now that I've shared with you some techniques to polish your pepper shading technique, it's time to carry out your course project, if you haven't already, or to share it if you've been creating it throughout the course. Before saying goodbye, I want to show you an example of how I would like to see your process and project: The mood board and the sketch To get started, create a mood board. Then, make rough sketches with elements from the mood board to spark your creativity. Finally, define the design that you will use for your project and refine the details of it.

The stencil Create your stencil and remember to print a few sizes to check for readability. Apply the stencil on your client and verify with him that he likes the place in which you have accommodated him. The tattoo Once you apply the stencil on your client, start working with your baselines and then with the lighter shades. When you have finished your tattoo, allow the skin to rest to document your project. Keep in mind that as tattoo artists we work on the most delicate canvas of all: the skin. Therefore, do not forget to share with your client the recommendations of the basic care that they must have so that their tattoo heals in the best possible way. If you still don't feel confident about tattooing, you can practice the exercises on paper that I taught you in the course as many times as necessary. Be patient, Rome was not built in a day; And as they say, practice makes perfect. So don't get discouraged if you don't get the textures and gradients you wanted, just keep practicing. Please, do not forget to share your entire process and the final result of your tattoo. I will be looking forward to the forum to see your project, and I will give you feedback as soon as possible. However, I ask you to be patient, as it may take a while for me to respond to you. While you wait, I invite you to exchange ideas, opinions and feedback with your colleagues (always in a respectful manner). Remember that advice never hurts! Until next time!”

“Final Project Thank you very much for making it to the end of the course. I hope you learned a lot and cleared up any doubts regarding what I taught you. It's time to put what you learned into practice. I know it's frustrating at first when you can't get the textures and gradients you want, but remember that achieving this takes a lot of patience and, above all, a lot of practice. Don't forget to practice on paper with the techniques I taught you throughout this course. Find the right place to apply them.
