some shading questions

[mrbudgie]

can i shade with mags , if i can how is it done, i know you can whip shade with rounds but i assume that would not work with a mag and how do i use colours to shade do they need thinning and for the shading which machine shall i use my colourer or my cut back liner

cheers ian

use your colour mashine nd but slow it down. personaly i only use mags to shade with you can do it all with mags if you ask me diferent sizes !
and when shading with colour just dilute whit water

SMALL CONSECUTIVE OVERLAPPING CIRCLES TILL YOU GET THE HANG OF IT ....PICK OUT A DESIGN THAT HAS SOME DECENT COLOR BLENDS AND TATTOO YOURSELF !!!!!! BE CAREFULL USING A MAG , IF YOU'RE NOT USED TO THEM IT CAN TEAR SOME SHIT UP !!!! TWO OR THREE PASSES AT THE MOST TILL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING , BE CAREFULL , PAY ATTENTION , KEEP MOVING FORWARD !!! AND DEFINATELY USE YOUR SHADING MACHINE :shock: !!!!!!!

i use mags all the time for colouring but have never used them for shading and shadowing etc so i just wanted to know how to dit to get the dark to light effect like when you whip shade with rounds

I GET THE INITIAL COLOR (DARKEST) IN THERE THEN START DIPPING IN A LIGHTER SHADE AND WORKING MY WAY OUT , BUT GOING GENTLY WHERE I WANT THE BLEND TILL I GET THE EFFECT I WANT . AND IF YOURE TALKING BLACK AND GREY WORK, ITS KINDA THE SAME JUST WHEN I WANT THE WHIP SHADE EFFECT I JUST REALLY SPEED UP THE HAND WORKING FROM DARK OUT TO LIGHT TO SKIN TONE , HOPE THIS HELPED ........

iI use 7round mags to do the shading like Forgiven said move fast for lighter shading I also dont put the needle out as far.

I use 7 mags for everything i do, I shade light to dark does anyone else do this? I think it is easy as shit light to dark when grey shading. Later on.
