Information

Complex compositions that allow you to work on many aspects

In this seminar you are going to get serious with composition, microrealism, fine lines and geometries.

Sometimes creating a small size tattoo can seem too complicated.

Condensing a lot of information into a small size is overwhelming, especially if you try to keep theharmony, thefine line subtletyandconnect all the pieces.

In addition, it is useless to have a good technique without knowing what composition you are going to give to your piece or vice versa, you need those skills to feed back.

WithMaria Alvarezyou will learn to work unique designs that include themicrorealism, theend line, thegeometriesand differenttextures.

All this tied with a touch of concept art in a tattoo with a very special composition: a hand holding a light bulb, surrounded by different elements.

Ready to learn and perfect different key points of a tattoo technique?

Come on, get into a micro-realistic composition with complex elements!

It is ideal for you if:
  • You already have experience in the world of tattooing and it is time to dive into the field of microrealism to become a professional in this style.
  • You want to understand how to condense information in a small space and that the piece is of quality.
  • You are looking to learn to work compositions of various elements in small tattoos, making the whole coherent and harmonious.
  • You are tired of always tattooing the same thing and you want to add creativity to your work with an original design.
  • You want to find that balance between giving free rein to your creativity and the personalization of the client himself in his tattoo.
  • You are looking for tools and methods with which to make a better quality micro-realistic tattoo, without getting stuck when the reference images fail.
Later you will get:
  • Dare with tiny tattoos: you will be able to face the representation of a large image in a small size to obtain a clear, condensed and spectacular result in a few centimeters.
  • learn to prioritize: you will understand how the elements of a tattoo are intertwined, where they should go and which ones to work on first. With the connection between the different figures you can transmit a lot of information in a little space.
  • Pay attention to the proportions: you will learn to read the body, understanding which design can best adapt to its shapes, working on a quality composition in which information is not lost.
  • master textures: you will be able to understand the method to create different textures, both solid and transparent, providing a unique detail to the piece.
  • the human figure: You will work human elements such as the shape and texture of the skin in the tattoo.
  • The importance of the fine line: you will be able to incorporate the subtlety of fine lines into your tattoos, making the design feel light. I will teach you the tricks so that the line lasts over time.
  • Understand geometric elements: you will learn to work volume and depth in different ways that will serve to give your composition greater realism and interest.
  • Get out of art block with AI: When your reference image is incomplete or doesn't look right, you'll have resources to say “yes” to that work, such as relying on AI to generate references or completing ideas with other images.
  • Versatility that allows you to create: By mastering different techniques and elements, I will teach you how to generate unique compositions without stagnating or overwhelming yourself, giving free rein to your creativity.

Teacher
María Álvarez
Tattoo artist specialized in Microrealism and Concept Art.

I am going to be your teacher.

I am María Álvarez, a tattoo artist specialized in microrealism and concept art.

With me you will lose your fear of small tattoos.

Although I did my first doodles when I was only three years old, I started tattooing self-taught in the third year of university.

The first contact with the tattoo was frustrating, so I forgot about it. But the following year, I returned to the ring.

As an apprentice in a studio, things began to change.

My studies as a designer help me understand shapes and volumes. Having traveled both nationally and internationally during these years, participating in conventions and meeting leaders in the sector, has given me an enormous perspective.

Because of this, I now understand that the need is to master really good the microrealism technique if what you want is to lose your fear of placing lots of information in small space.
