It is important to me that i am able to create a piece effort work that has meaning, as is different to my current style of work or geometric drawings. Recently a friend of mine cam to me asking if i could draw hima design in memory of his recently pass away grandfather that meant a lot to him, at first i was a lot overwhelmed with the challenged as it was big ask to create something so personal to him, but as well he was going to have this design tattooed on him.
When discussing with him what to do as the design we identified that he liked the idea of a swallow bird as it reminded his of his grandfather as he had many figurines of them, and he also liked the idea of a compass as a swallow travels similar to him and his grandad. After identifying these things i started to draw a few ideas.
First bird drawn - decided didn't like poisoning of birds wings
Above is the final design that i created in response to the personal brief, i decided to combine the two things. The geometric design of the compass behind the bird shows my persona style in the design.
Above is the final tattooed design, the tattooist and my friend decided to shade the design to add depth and make the drawing work better as a tattoo design, when speaking to my friend about it after he said the tattooist was very impressed with the drawing as there was minimal changes that he need to do to it before tattooing.
