What we’ll cover
In this hands-on session, Russ will walk you through a streamlined tattoo design workflow packed with practical, time-saving techniques that apply across all styles. You’ll learn how to unwrap the skin digitally, efficiently map designs onto the body, and prepare artwork for client presentations and social media sharing.
Russ will also break down his 3D model process step-by-step—from using a client photo to building a final 3D model—making it easy to follow along and apply to your own work. As one past attendee shared, “Allllllll helpful! The way he explained the 3D model process was great… I took tons of notes!”
Another artist remarked, “I really appreciated the in-depth demonstrations and how easy Russ made it to understand each step of the processes he showed. It was SO informative!”
This is your chance to work side-by-side with the artist who’s been developing the world’s leading digital tattoo tools since 2016—don’t miss out.
