Found another one from that time, done with gouache.

        Was the calf supposed to be a tattoo? To me it more looked like an extension on their footwear. The neck definitely read as a tattoo, though.

        Not a criticism, though, because it’s great work.

          Yes it’s a tattoo! it was something like this, but with bolder lines. :)

          the color I used is very saturated so that’s probably why it didn’t read super clear as a tattoo. but that’s the nature of working with a live model, those finer details can get lost because of time constraints.
