“I so wish that Dean
Deakyne's instructional DVDs had been available when I first picked up
a tattoo machine. As I've been a professional fine artist for many years,
I decided to try tattooing on my own, thinking...."I can draw and
paint, how hard can it be to tattoo?" I soon found out that without
any guidance, it was very hard indeed.
Then I had the breakthrough experience of watching Dean's
instructional DVDs. Dean actually tattoos
the pieces while you watch and narrates step by step, so
there's no guesswork about what he's doing. Every basic
question I had previously (and many
advanced ones, as well) were answered, from artistic to practical.”

In this DVD, Dean Deakyne takes
you through the steps necessary to create a color tattoo. Dean
demonstrates how to map out an area of skin for the tattoo
to prepare for the design stage. He shows how to design a tattoo
using pencil and pen drawings that are scanned into a computer
and finalized using Photoshop and Illustrator. Dean then explains
how to properly set up a sanitary tattoo station, gives an
in-depth overview of all the equipment needed for the tattoo
procedure, and shows how to set up and mix different shades
of color. Starting the outline process, Dean covers a variety
of line work such as gray line, basic outlining and sculpting
lines from thick to thin. He then moves into his techniques
for black shading and color blending to give the work a smooth
airbrushed look. This informative DVD is packed full of information
that will help get beginning tattoo artists over the hurdles
that they often face in their first color tattoos.
3 hours of lecture.
