A practical guide to traditional tattoo drawing

Kale James’s guide introduces 40 designs from traditional tattoo art, including eagles, swallows, skulls, sacred hearts, koi fish and dragons. Its step-by-step drawing instruction is aimed at beginners, and the book also addresses symbolism and cultural and historical significance. Practice materials extend beyond the printed designs: the description lists a downloadable set of Procreate liners and shaders, a Procreate colour palette, a print-at-home gridded workbook and body-placement sheets. Together, these features make the book both a drawing resource and a structured set of exercises for exploring traditional tattoo imagery.
