Add realism to your color tattoos Discover how to give your designs the right texture and the importance of the transfer process

Before she knew how to speak, Cristina Castillo was already drawing. Therefore, when years later she discovered through a television program that you could make drawings on your skin and, even more, that you could make a living from it, it was love at first sight. Currently, she is a tattoo artist specialized in color realism who has been recognized at different events in the sector.

In this online course, he will teach you how to fill your tattoos with color and create textures to achieve a realistic effect on the skin. Throughout the units, you will learn everything about color ranges and learn different methods, such as the drag technique or working in layers, to give life to your designs, in addition to delving into the tattooing process step by step.
