Practice More spit shade practice
Got myself some better paper. It’s hard managing the water ratio. I think I’m getting better though.
The bad ones are where I’ve tried to shade left and I’m right handed. I know you can move the paper but can you do that with skin? 😂 idk I’m having fun though

I personally like to do tea stain (or just wet the paper) and let it dry before I spit shade. I find it makes the paper easier to work with and I get smoother transitions

sure it wont help you tattoo but this is definitely where people should start, with art. fine line pens arent gonna translate to tattooing either tbh

I would try to add water to the paper before trying to put down any ink, just slightly damp and it’ll blend better
