So for those who are going to the Detroit Tattoo Convention Chris Conn will be doing another one of his arts seminar like he did at Horitaka's State of Grace Bay Area Tattoo Convention

detroit tattoo arts seminar

I am very pleased to formally announce that I am holding a second seminar on the design and rendering of the female face and form for tattooists.

This seminar will be a limited-enrollment event, held at the Seventeenth Annual Motor City Tattoo Expo 2011. The convention will take place at the Detroit Marriot/Renaissance Center. This class will be Friday, the 25th of February, from 7:30pm to 10:30pm.

The class will consist of a verbal presentation/lecture, live sketching, a slideshow, and a question and answer session. Each attendee will also receive a limited-edition instructional sketchbook, signed and numbered, exclusive to this convention.

The topics covered will include:

• Dynamic/emblematic figure arrangement and posing

• Achieving mood and drama with facial and physical expression

• Specific body parts and proportions (eyes, hands, breasts, legs, etc.)

• Facial angles and proportions

• Full-body angles and proportions

• Use of models and reference material

• Short-cuts, cheating, and ‘frankensteining’

• Use of symmetry, asymmetry, and ‘para-symmetry’

• Rendering hair and coiffure

• Costume, drapery, and ornament

• Use of shading and skintone

• Effect of scale on rendering

• Evolving your own personal style

• Interaction of foreground image with background or ‘garnishing’

• Concealing and constructively using mistakes and errors

• Keeping the balance between detail and clarity

• Ensuring a sense of life and spirit in the design

I will endeavor to provide as much useful information as possible from my sixteen years behind the needle that would be helpful both to novice and experienced tattooists, and will answer as many questions as time allows.
