Magic fish. Master class on drawing gel pen.

Everyone can draw elementary forms, but, ultimately, it is from them that the picture is created. Many graphic elements are simple and accessible to children: circle, square, triangle, dot, wavy line, three crossed lines (snowflake) and others.
Despite the simplicity of the elements, a gel pen can create very interesting pictures, similar to graphics, Chinese or Japanese painting (drawing "Tree of Life"). The drawing is laconic and complete.
And so, let's get down to our work.
1. Let's draw a fish like this.

Draw on a piece of paper with a simple pencil our fish. Here we must remember that a gel pen does not draw well with a pencil, so we draw the outline with a simple pencil, a very thin, maybe even a broken line.

5. Soak a piece of cloth in warm water.
6. Place the paper with the design on the place where you want the tattoo. Press the damp cloth firmly onto the design and hold it there for 30 seconds.
7. Carefully and very slowly lift the edge of the paper and make sure that the design is completely transferred to the skin. If necessary, hold the fabric for a few more seconds and then repeat the procedure.
8. Remove the damp cloth along with the paper.
9. Give the tattoo a chance to dry.
10. Spray the tattoo with hairspray. This will keep the tattoo looking attractive.

This option is more suitable for young girls. Mehendi will make their look feminine and mysterious.

Regarding possible allergic reaction, then it is very unlikely, because the needle pierces the skin to a very insignificant depth.

To ensure normal ink transferability, a small area in an inconspicuous place is processed.

If after a while itching appears and the skin turns red, it means that your body does not tolerate this particular paint well and you need to choose other materials, or abandon the idea altogether.

Which design to choose: mini tattoos, images, inscriptions, hieroglyphs. Simple sketches for DIY

Most simple pictures, available for beginners, look like mini tattoos:

• Hieroglyphs.
• Small birds.
• Texts.
• Ornaments.
• Simple natural components (leaves, branches).

The tattoo can be a ring on a finger - it looks very interesting.

For simple tattoo application you can use a template. It is first applied to the skin, after which the design is embossed.

Let's look at how to draw a tattoo with a pen. In this case you need to use:

• Black gel ballpoint pen.
• Finely sharpened simple pencil.
• Parchment, tracing paper.
• Vatu.
• Scissors.
• Wet wipes or cloth.

Drawings should be easy to implement. They are designed to reflect the character and emotions of the owner.

If you don’t have enough imagination for the image, you can copy it from the Internet or any magazine.

The picture is selected. Now you should put his sketches on tracing paper or parchment using a sharply sharpened pencil.

Use a gel pen to carefully paint the patterns inside. This must be done very carefully so that the paint does not go beyond the boundaries.

Now the most important thing is to determine the location of the tattoo. If you do it to yourself, it should be in an accessible place, for example, on your leg or wrist. If you have help, you can experiment.

The selected area must be thoroughly treated with alcohol. Now all that’s left to do is take a damp napkin or cloth soaked in heated water and spread it over the tracing paper with the layout.

The fabric is then pressed firmly against the body and held for at least a minute without moving. After this time, a small piece of tracing paper is carefully removed to check whether the drawing has been transferred.

If this does not happen, the cloth must be kept for some more time. If the image brightness is insufficient, you need to apply the top layer with a gel pen.

To make the tattoo last longer and not wear off, it can be fixed using a spray to fix the hairstyle, having previously disinfected the skin. Temporary tattoo is ready.

To apply a long-term tattoo you will need:

1. Black gel pen.
2. Needle.
3. Cotton swabs.
4. Disinfectant.
5. Alcohol solution.

Let's look at the execution procedure step by step:

2. Image is superimposed in the form of an outline. To do this, you can use tracing paper or a black cosmetic pencil.
3. The contours must be applied very carefully: In case of any inaccuracies, the edges are erased.
4. Not everyone can intentionally hurt themselves. For this procedure, you can ask a friend with strong nerves for help.

   The needle is treated with alcohol, then carefully, making small shallow holes, the image is applied step by step. For this purpose, you can use a special machine.

5. If the procedure is performed for the first time, It is advisable to choose the easiest pattern.
6. The filled dots are painted over with a gel pen. Wait a couple of minutes and carefully remove excess paint.
7. The resulting wound is well disinfected. To be sure, you can treat the tattoo with a fixing spray, but this is not necessary. The work is ready.

Important! You should wait several hours: do not wet or rub the treated area.

Over a period of time, a crust may form - do not tear it off under any circumstances, let the wound heal! It’s still better for girls to limit themselves to temporary tattoos.

A tattoo is a special image on a person’s body, often conveying his thoughts, principles of life and desires.

To choose a tattoo, just look at hundreds of examples and come to the artist with a sketch. Before making a permanent drawing on the body, it is recommended to conduct an experiment.

A pen tattoo on a hand or other part of the body is used to understand how the drawn symbol and picture affect a person.

If, after spending a week with the drawing, the person’s condition has improved, you can safely apply the drawing forever.

Pen tattoos are widespread among children and teenagers. They are done quickly and easily.

All that is necessary is to redraw the selected picture onto the skin, maintaining the similarity with the source. Even a small child can draw easy and simple drawings.

A temporary tattoo can be done with a black pen; for this it is important to choose the right quality of the tool. For suitable for work gel or ballpoint pen.

In some cases, you can get a permanent tattoo using a needle and gel pen.

Let's look at how to draw with a pen, as well as the duration of this procedure:

1. Prepare materials: a gel pen of the desired shade, a simple pencil, scissors, paper or tracing paper, cotton swabs, talc alcohol and a solution for treating wounds.
2. Select a sketch or stencil. Before starting work, it is recommended to select a drawing.

   Depending on the purpose of the tattoo, these can be inscriptions, pictures, photos famous people. The main thing is to have sufficient artistic skill drawing.

Simple Sketches for Beginners

In order to apply a drawing for the first time, experienced craftsmen recommend choosing the simplest sketches for beginners.

You should not assume that drawing a tattoo with a pen takes a long time - this process takes no more than half an hour with proper skill.

Note! The simplest sketches are considered to be options without detailed details of the picture. The inscriptions will also be interesting as a primary application to the skin.

Small pictures are good for the first time. When your hand is full, you can move on to more complex types medium-sized and large sketches.

Let's consider several options for pictures for self-application at home:

Beautiful pictures for girls and boys

To test the pen, the artist always chooses mini-images that can easily be hidden behind clothes.

Tattoos with a black gel pen are no exception, which, if unsuccessful, can be hidden behind textiles.

A selection of several beautiful, but simple options will allow you to decide on the choice for girls and men:

1. Bow. The image is perfect for teenage girls.

   It is better to apply it on the back of the neck - that is where it looks attractive and romantic.

2. Animal faces. Cool but cute sketches are always a delight: try drawing a funny cat's face on one of your fingers.

   The tattoo will look great when paired with a stylish ring.

3. Sheet music or treble clef. This option is relevant for female music lovers, as well as for those people who play music. It is recommended to apply the pattern on the wrist.
4. Marine theme. Well suited as men's or women's tattoos.
5. A flock of bats. The drawing is relevant for real boys: it is simple to execute, but looks amazing.

We draw all the images in stages: first we visually highlight the main parts of the picture, after which we move on to painting the sections. We draw small elements carefully on last stage work.

It was in the search for pens for drawing that I made many discoveries. Firstly, the same pens can have completely different names in different stores and books. Secondly, there are an innumerable variety of pens, liners, markers and other drawing tools, and each type has its own characteristics. And thirdly, all this goodness is almost impossible to find in Minsk, and what you can find is many times more expensive than in other countries (even Russia and Lithuania)...

In my material, I will use the names that I ultimately came up with, and at the same time I will illustrate each tool with a photograph - so that you know what to look for (in fact, this is how I buy pens myself :))

Ballpoint pens. Of course, you can draw with them, but they are more good for doodling (see). Since the ink is distributed unevenly due to the ball, even a solid line with constant pressure can be too pale in different areas, or vice versa with excess ink (and it smears! Yes, it is ballpoint pens that usually smudge the most).

One possible application ballpoint pens With bright colors- decoration of already finished black and white drawing color. By the way, “poisonous” (sometimes called neon) colors also work great on black/dark paper. I haven’t seen anything like this in Minsk yet, but I have experience buying from the Chinese. Apparently, such pens can be bought in neighboring countries - in particular in Russia.

Gel pens. They also suffer a little, like ball ones, from the inconstancy of the line, but:

• They make the best pens with white, silver and gold ink for drawing on black/craft, colored paper;
• They are sold even in Minsk, although the Chinese have more choice;
• They are very cheap.

Markers. Why not? For example, I just robbed a child of several colored markers and I even liked it. Felt-tip pens, of course, have their own characteristics: for example, if you pass them over the same place twice, the color changes noticeably, the paper becomes too saturated with paint, and some even “pillow” or get very wet. Therefore, it seems to me that felt-tip pens are good for drawing either on thick, smooth paper, or when your movements are already adjusted and confident.

By the way, double-sided markers are convenient:

Liners(in stores they are simply called pens, capillary, gel and God knows what else). An alternative name for these pens is liners: different artists call them differently. Liners are the most convenient and common tool for drawing, as they solve the problem of paint uniformity. Today they are produced in a variety of types.

What is a drawing liner? How to determine if it is a liner? For the skirt - like this:

Liners can differ in thickness: as a rule, it is indicated by a number characterizing the thickness in millimeters. For example, here in the photo there are 0.7, 0.5 and 0.05:

It’s up to you to decide what thickness you need. But practice shows that initial stage It's easier to learn to draw with thick liners. Thin ones are more suitable for small elements within a large design.

There are liners different colors. At the same time, as a rule, only black and brown liners are made of different thicknesses. Colored liners are usually equally thin. Well, or I didn’t come across others :) In Minsk you can find them even in ordinary stationery stores, but I usually found a very poor selection.

Colored liners can be used for:

• Coloring other people's mandalas (I haven't said yet that the most popular on Amazon last year with great triumph was anti-stress coloring book for adults— and it was made using the techniques I’m talking about?!);
• Coloring your black and white drawings;
• Drawings of colored mandalas and other elements.

Unfortunately, such liners are more suitable for drawing/coloring on white paper. For a dark base, they lack saturation and brightness (and for such cases there are other options;) Just about them next time).

Brown liners. I call them craft for myself - because their color is very similar to craft paper. They also come in different thicknesses, just like black ones. And from some manufacturers you can even find a brush liner! True, I haven’t mastered it yet - it was just included in the kit :))

By the way, in nature there are also hybrids, double-sided liners: for example, a tool that has a felt-tip pen on one side and a liner on the other. The good thing about these tools is that you have the same color in both cases. This is convenient when you use a thick line in the main drawing, and draw the details with a thinner one.
