Day 312. Pin up girl with roses tattoo design. Pose based again, I think, on a Gil Elvgren painting
Day 313 French Girl pin up. Draw me like one of your french girls!
Day 314. Pin up portrait. Referenced from a picture I found on a google search.
Day 315. Mermaid pin up sketch, tattoo idea. Made a better effort of simplifying features on this one I think.
Day 316. Yet another pose referenced from Gil Elvgren, and given a spooky theme.
Day 317. Pin up girl referenced from the '1000 pin up girls' book by Taschen don't know the artist.
Day 318. Pin up girl referenced from a fancy dress store photo.
TATTOO SKETCH A DAY. I am hoping to complete one tattoo style sketch a day for a whole year. Each month will have a different theme. This blog is intended purely as an incentive not to give up on the project and improve on my drawing skills and hopefully have a useful library of self drawn reference for the drawing of tattoo designs. I am hoping to update this blog once a week. Thanks to Martin LaCasse and his 365 book project for the inspiration.

Pin-Ups November 1st - 7th
Day 305. Pin-Up girl tattoo design. My attempt at a pin-up not from any particular reference. I've made the head too big and the legs too small. Things can only get better.
Day 306. Victorian Pin-Up girl tattoo. More of a Victorian feel than a pin up but was good practice for hands, referenced from one of my many pin up books.
Day 307. Pin-Up tattoo design. Not the best ever but getting more into a mindset for drawing these pin ups.
Day 308. Pin-Up girl tattoo design. Now this one, I think, has come out really well. Referenced from a Gil Elvgren painting, it doesn't really look like the painting but would make a great tattoo.
Day 309. Pin-Up girl tattoo design. Used reference of a model photo, think I've gotten the legs too short again.
Day 310. Pin-Up girl in Rose tattoo design. Pose is referenced from a book of old pin up magazines and I've added the flower to make a good tattooable design. Think the face has two good halves that maybe don't actually go together, I would definitly redraw the face if I were to tattoo it.
Day 311. Lady Luck Pin-Up tattoo design. I struggled with the face again with this one. I feel I need to simplify more, maybe get a bit of Sailor Jerry action going on.
Day 306. Victorian Pin-Up girl tattoo. More of a Victorian feel than a pin up but was good practice for hands, referenced from one of my many pin up books.

November - PIN-UPS
November, this month I'm going to be doing pin-ups.
Not something I'm great at drawing so hopefully by the end of the month I'll be better at them.
Here's to November.
