The TARANTULA 🙉🙊🙈

This is something especially for you dear Mike - the TARANTULA subject 🙊🙉🙈

It’s her favourite Poecilotheria Rufilata🫶🏼

My client came by yesterday early morning!
9:30am…

Yes😅

She has dropped off her daughter to school and straight down to my house…
She told me she’ll have to leave at 13 hours for same reason…

This is why (as usual) I haven’t managed to finish the tattoo at one go.

I’ve focused to get the outline down for further reference, and I’ve tried to mark the darkest tones visible on the tarantula…
The next session I’ll try to improve the whole hairy body of the spider to make it more detailed and attractive ❤️

This is my FIRST attempt ever to make tarantula.
Years years ago I’ve drawn the Black Widow, which is hairless spider…
This time I felt great challenge to achieve the hairy effect not really making single hairs …

I’m happy so far, my client is happy as well🫶🏼
I’m sure about it, because for 3h I’ve asked for £30 and got paid £50❤️

Thank you for watching dear friends🫶🏼

Great work, my friend! I don’t think I would have been able to get such a clean silhouette from that reference photo. Well done!

Thank you very much for kind comment Laurene☺️
I hope the wole design will be looking a bit better once it’s finished 🫶🏼
The reference is bad, I know it - but I’d like to use it because of the angle the spider is presented…
And it’s representing the correct specimen of Poecilotheria Rufilata, not any other similar looking if you know I mean.

Yes, I do know what you mean. I’ve been there too. If the pose is perfect, the photo is out of focus. If it’s in focus, the pose is all wrong. LOL. That’s where the artist comes in. Your drawing is so much better than the reference!

Everything Laurene just said.

Not because I'm lazy, but there really is nothing else to say... :D :roll:

That's a super drawing from a questionable reference.
