A guided course by Diana Felix , Graphic Designer and Tattoo Artist

Learn tattoo design with procreate: personal style, techniques of illustration and adaptation to the human body
Transform your ideas into a unique tattoo by exploring everything from body anatomy to creating your own unique style. Learn to analyze body composition to ensure your designs fit perfectly on the skin. Discover how to define a personal style that distinguishes you, using mood boards to inspire and guide your creations.
Immerse yourself in the documentation process, gathering valuable references, and tailoring your proposals to your clients' needs. Experiment with collage and sketching techniques to perfect your final lines. Finally, adapt your digital illustrations to the most demanding canvas: skin. With each step, from sketch to ink, you'll be closer to creating a signature design ready to be presented or used in a professional studio.
