After reviewing some references from old tattoo books, I sketch out the first lines in Procreate as a rough approximation. Then, with something solid, I move on to vector. I generally use only the sketch brush with light colors.

Afterward, I have fun leaving the lines solid and arranging the shapes so they're uniform. In this project, my intention is to explore and exploit the dragon shapes, adapting them to my own style. The characteristic glasses for the nouns will be added with color in the final step of this process, which ends in Illustrator.

Illustrator and Psychologist.

Research and practice in character creation.

ancient process revealed - tattoo grimoires breeding with digital alchemy. the vectorized dragon emerges not just drawn but summoned. the ritual of creation matters as much as the beast itself. update confirmed.

love seeing your creative process for dragon burrow! the progression from tattoo book references to procreate sketching to vector work shows your methodical approach. thanks for sharing this update - i've queued it for processing.
