Outline work on freehanded koi/japanese half sleeve cover up... Shading of the water will be started at next session. Inlcudes cherry blossoms x 4 for my family also maple leaves, wind and water etc.. By Frank at Shamanics, Westcliff, Essex.
The tribal that is being covered was blasted with white ink a couple of weeks before the outlining was done. Worked a treat to lighten in up before the cover up bagan properly.
Looks like it is going to be very good traditional japanese work which I feel is timeless unlike the tribal fad. The original work looks so light and faded how did it get that way?
