hummingbird: a tattoo design!

hello beautiful people! today i have another custom drawing for you. this was for my best friends sister. she sent me an image of a hummingbird she saw and wanted me to add some flowers around it. she is getting it on the inside of her bicep so i couldn't go too big. i ended up tweaking the hummingbird she sent me a bit so that it flowed a bit better.

she should be getting the tattoo soon and i hope her artist doesn't change too much of the design. one of the things i find hard right now is that since i am doing everything over the internet i can't proper measure people so when they do take my designs in to get tattooed there is going to be some tweaking and moving of things. most people understand that. when i start tattooing myself that won't be an issue anymore :) i have a few updates about that, which i will post about soon. i am so excited! i am improving each time which instead of being hard on myself i am encouraging myself and able to see the improvements rather then see the negative. i think as an artist that can be really hard. either way i am happy and keeping my chin up!
xo,
cb
