Realism aims to render a subject as though it were photographed on the skin — smooth gradients, dramatic depth and lifelike detail. It works in black-and-grey or full colour and is the most technically demanding style.
Designing a neck
The neck is a high-impact, high-visibility placement that wraps a small, curved area. Designs usually follow the throat and sides and connect naturally to chest or shoulder work.
- Pain
- Very sensitive — thin skin over the throat and spine makes the neck one of the sharper placements.
- Scope
- Usually short sessions; often added to connect larger pieces.
- Realism here
- Realism needs a large, relatively flat canvas so detail and gradients aren't distorted — outer arm, thigh, back and chest are ideal.
