Against? Only that I find the tattoo is a distraction
After your mentioning it, I do like it - and hate it at same time Mike
It does breach the smooth flow while following the leg shape from bottom upwards, but then by disturbing the view, it adds something... irritating?,annoying maybe?
And I like it too, because it becomes questionable at some point, what may cause viewer to stop by for a bit longer - and get think about it?
I don't know
I'm sure it's not boring drawing, and it's not general drawing of somebody legs - there's something in it, that made me draw it, but I can't name what it is
although I understand it has to be included.
Yes, lol... that's right
My reaction is partly because I have an aversion to tattoos
I do love tattoos as a form of art, I mean it has to be art by capital letters A R T - then it is amazing me.
Crap tattoos it's like poor sketching to me - it's not art then, not anything really, it hurts me to look at...
It hurts when I'm looking at my tattoo on my arm...
It's been started years ago in polish studio, and never been finished since...
Years passing by, and I can't bin it...
I want to cover it up by A R T sleeve tattoo, but you know me MIKE, it would cost fortune, and I'm not this rich to afford - so I got stuck...
I do feel it could be lighter and less imposing. It breaks the flow of the leg as it is, because it dominates it.
UNDERSTOOD dear friend ...
I do agree.
As I said before, I'm confused, and I'm hating it and loving it, the way it does distract the flow ...
Dynamic. Powerful. Full of suggested movement. Even the "abstract" sky adds even more impact.
100% agree Mike, there's something attracting me a lot
