Assistance? If anyone can help that is?
So, my teacher wants me to design her a realistic octopus cuff tattoo that goes around her entire forearm (elbow to wrist). I don’t have trouble drawing the actual thing (I’ve made little tiny paper flips that show the front and back of the design if you flip it accordingly that she currently has). Her only complaint was not being able to see what it looked like actually on her (which is understandable).
So now she wants a little “sample” (I don’t know what else to call it) of it that she can wrap around her arm on paper (not like a temporary tattoo, like a sheet of paper she can wrap and tape and have it on to see how it looks, though she might want a temporary tattoo version later, she can never make up her mind) so I’m just thinking about taking a sheet of paper, wrapping it around her arm, cutting it appropriately, re-drawing the design on it, and then putting it back on for her to see (that way I could actually to the appropriate proportions at least, since I haven’t been given measurements).
The reason I’m thinking of doing this even though I’m sure it’s not the right way to is because, like I previously mentioned, she hasn’t been giving me the measurements of her arm for me to use, so I might just do it this way really fast since the school year is almost over and such and make it super nice and pretty to show her after the break (unless I can actually meet with her long enough to get the measurements and still have time to do this before June 18th, but I semi doubt that)I might do it a different way though (different than the paper wrap thing that she wants). Which is why I am making this post.
Do any of you guys have suggestions or tips for this? An easier way of making her this “sample”? Cause I know that what I’m thinking of doing might work, but it also might not work and turn out not looking like what she’s talking about when she is asking for a “sample”. I don’t have access to any other form of doing it in a professional manner (that I can think of at least).
So if anyone has any ideas that either you can just think of or you have seen before or have had actual tattoo artists do with you or someone you know (that I could still do as a teenager in high school with only 14 dollars to my name) please feel free to comment below or pm me. It’d be great to get an outside opinion since my friends don’t really care and are no help in this scenario at all.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have a nice day.
Please reblog if you don’t know how to help so that someone who might be able to has a better chance of seeing this
