Final Tattoo

I believe the strongest area of the piece of work I created was drawing it. I felt like I drew the sloth and Bermuda long-tail to the best of my ability (even though I am not that well at drawing). to my surprise it came out actually looking like the animals and i was proud of myself. The area of the piece that I could have improved on would have been blurring it better into the skin. I had a very hard time making the very dark lines blend into the skin. I found it hard to fit my skin color and make it look believable.
I thought the easiest part of the piece was stretching it to look like its on the skin. It was easy and I feel that i made it look as if it was wrapping around the leg as it would if it was real. It is in fact something I would someday love to get in the future and realized i would like to NOT get it on my leg! I thought the most difficult part was again, blending it. My teacher said to highlight the light parts of my skin and darken the darker parts of my leg. It was hard to find the middle and it was hard to make it match my skin but also not be too light. To ALMOST make this possible i used the Burn tool, to darken it, warp tool, to stretch it around my leg, multiply to cancel the white, and the lighting tool to make it lighter.
 I demonstrated the goal by putting a Bermuda long-tail and a sloth on my thigh, where i thought i would want it for real. Now that how i have tried it out and looked at what it might look at  i do not really like it, so thank you for making me realize that! If i had to do this project again i would definitely put something totally different somewhere else to see if i also maybe do not like it, or even love it more!
