This was intended to practice coloring and was finished during a tattoo convention that I attended with my shop. I felt so appreciated there and got tons of compliments on my work. Now I know that drawing at your booth gets you a lot of attention!

Lynn Learns Rim Lighting From Tony

I would also like to include images of art I do when I'm not tattooing. These are easy to recognize because they are all done on tracing paper with a .2 black micron for a lining and colored with prismacolor pencils. This particular image took about three hours to complete.

Here's an example of a piece I did mimicing an image done by Tony Ciavarro because I wanted to practice the technique he uses for shading. He almost always has some brightly colored rim lighting in his tattoos.
