About the final project for: Fine Line Tattoo Design: Symbolism and Magic

Fine Line Tattoo Design: Symbolism and Magic

“You have reached the end of the course. Thank you very much for accompanying me on this adventure. I hope you have learned a lot during this course and that it will be of great help to you in developing a visual language with more content in your designs. Before we say goodbye, we'd like to show you an example of how we hope to see your project: The documentation Document yourself as much as possible. Remember that research is essential to understand why we do things.

Your personal library Arm yourself with your personal library of symbols, and lose your fear of the sketchbook. In it you will find resources that you can use later, and... draw, draw, draw!
The mood board Make a mood board with the reference images, it will do you very well to delimit the idea of what you are going to design.
Design and tattoo Listen to your client. With this you can design a composition with much greater meaning. Finally, keep a good record of all the work you do and don't forget to take care of your body.
Share your project by clicking "Create your project". In addition to the photographs of each stage of the process, share a short text in which you talk about your experience in carrying it out. 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 reply to you. While you wait, I invite you to exchange ideas and advice with the rest of your classmates. See you in the forum!”

We have reached the end of this road, but that does not mean that everything ends here, because I will be accompanying you and I will be solving the doubts as quickly as possible. One thing I can advise you is not to try to run without first having walked slowly. If you run...”
