Artists

I’m looking to get a Portrait Tattoo of a Dog. I’ve looked up a few different Tattoo Shops around Baltimore, but haven’t seen any amazing Portrait Artists. Can people recommend someone good around Baltimore?

Well there’s this Seth Cifero (I hope I got the spelling right) who was featured on Tattoo Wars.. You can always check him out.. Nothing to lose..

Could you guys give me recommendations for tattoo artists in Colorado who specialize
in black and white portraits? I have a tattoo that I’ve been wanting to get very badly,
but am still in the research stage.
I have four other tattoos, but they didn’t require as much skill as the portrait that
I want to get will.

Help?
It doesn’t matter which region in Colorado.
I love traveling.
However, Denver is probably my best bet.

There are a lot of shops in Denver
but this one should be good for
what you need…

This is gonna be my first tattoo and I’m focused on a portrait tat. But I first have to find a good portrait tattoo artist. If you know anyone and has had personal experience let me know!!

I would search google maps for tattoo places and pull up their websites and go through artist profiles. I live in the tampa bay area as well and have looked through several portfolios, though none of them for portraits. You should probably go through a few to make sure you find the best one you can.

I’m looking for an artist who focuses mainly on portraits to study as part of my A level course. I’m interested in art that makes a statement, i also like ‘gritty’ and dark artwork. It’s preferable that the artist is modern and they MUST be reasonably well established.
I’m allso interested in the use of text within artwork.

Try Lucian Freud, who can certainly be described as a "portrait artist," though portraiture isn’t entirely his genre. As he says, he likes to paint people, and his work is often quite "grittt," or at least stark.

i’m looking for a really good portrait artist who specialises in black and grey for quite a large portrait tattoo. nottingham or anywhere in the midlands as i’m willing to travel for a really great tattoo. any suggestions please?

EVILEYE in Nottingham is the one with the best reputation that I know of. You can see some reviews of his work here.

My father passed away a year ago and i have a tribal band that i got when i was 17. I want to put a picture of him on my deltoid/shoulder and cover up the band by making a background around the picture. I was thinking clouds or sunlight, who knows? Bottom line is that i’ve been searching the net for hours and the only "flawless" portraits i’ve seen was from ignition tattoo but thats in LA. Someone help!!

I know its a drive, but try TOWER TATTOO in Fresno. Real professional artist with great work.

In the presidential oil portrait of JFK why did the artist paint him looking down and with arms crossed as opposed to other paintings done of US Presidents in sitting or standing positions facing the viewer?

The artist, Aaron Shikler, based the portrait on a White House photo taken when he was in deep-thought during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

An interesting pose, and YES a contrast to other portraits.

by teaching myself at home …

Practice is the key. Take photos out of magazines, or old photos of yourself or your family, or even better if you can get someone you know to sit for you, and just copy them down onto the canvas. Acrylic isn’t the best medium to use because it isn’t easy to blend on canvas, and it doesn’t give a very natural look that you normally want for portraits. You could try using oil or water colour instead, oil’s easier but quite expensive, and watercolour’s cheap but you have to be fast.If you really want to work in acrylic then I’d reccommend havig tons of colours mixed up in various shades and using lots of different tones gradiated so as not to make the shading look sudden and blocky. Light and shade are the most important parts of painting, so when you’re trying to get down the shape of a face, don’t do outlines of the nose and mouth like a cartoon, use shadow and highlights to bring out the shape. If you can’t make out a feature just using light and shade, you’ve not done it right.
Best of luck.
