Religious October 1st - 7th

Day 274. Praying Hands, pretty much a blatant copy from Albrecht Durer's hands sketch, a very popular tattoo design.

Day 275. Angel with outstretched arms tattoo design. Protect Me Guide Me in a banner.

Day 276.Two Cherubs placing a halo onto Christ's head. Could make a good tattoo design with a lot of redrawing of features.

Day 277. Jesus Christ. Head of Jesus if he was a long faced stoner, it looked ok when I was sketching and then it came out with a long horse face, think I'll have another go at this later this month.

Day 278. Virgin Mary tattoo sketch. I'm a lot happier with this facial sketch rather than the Jesus one. Hopefully as they say 'Practice makes Perfect', more work needed on my faces.

Day 279. Rose, candle, rosary beads combo. Would be a fun little tattoo.

Day 280. Sacred Heart tattoo design. Now this is definitely made for tattooing.

October - RELIGIOUS

Octobers theme is going to be Religious images probably lots of crosses and clouds and the like.

All very popular themes at the moment. It should be a good month with plenty for me to have a go at.

Heres to Octobers sketches.

Japanese Masks September 15th - 21st

Day 258. Japanese Noh mask with chrysanthemum tattoo design. The sketch is looking a little bit grubby as I shaded with a very soft pencil and as the days go by the sketches I've used a soft pencil on tend to get a bit smudged up.

Day 257. Japanese Hannya mask tattoo design.

September - JAPANESE MASKS

Septembers theme is going to be Japanese Masks, I would imagine is is going to mainly consist of Hannya Masks but I hope to throw in a few other Noh masks along the way.

Also I have been putting up the sketches in progress on Vine, just search on vine for Ginny Tattoos or the hashtag #sketchaday.

Heres to Septembers sketches.
