Now available: tatTOONS Vol. 1 by Frank La Natra stamp set + eBook! Implement Frank's lessons right away with his character design stamp set for Procreate and Clip Studio Paint.
Frank La Natra is one of those rare talents that could've easily been scooped up by Disney or Pixar to help make the next Toy Story. Instead, he chose to focus his energy on the craft of tattooing, and we're lucky he did. Every single one of Frank's animation-influenced character designs are a study in conveying emotion, depth, and story. In an effort to share his knowledge with his peers in the tattoo community, Frank La Natra is now offering a LIVE seminar at various conventions across the USA and beyond. During this 4 hour class he details the fundamental building blocks for designing great characters.
This eBook is the visual companion to Frank's Fundamentals of Character Design workshop. It contains most of the images and graphics that support the discussion during the LIVE class.
If you were fortunate enough to be present for one of Frank's LIVE workshops, you would be able to hear all of the great detail that a verbal discussion with Frank provides. Some day, we hope to bring you a video recording of one of those LIVE workshops so you can get the full picture that Frank is trying to convey.
However, when we saw the fantastic illustrations that Frank had created for his Character Design seminar, we knew we had to compile them into an eBook and make it available on its own through Tattoo Smart.
Though the book doesn’t have much content, the information and little tips in it more than makes up for it.
I felt it was very good as reminders in what to consider for layout and design. I will definitely flip through it before I start any major projects to help get my mind in the right place.
I was expecting a bit more text and pages. But in the end pictures, with quickly written steps are enough. Maybe a bit more content would be great. But in the end it is very good. And the techniques in the pdf are great not only for tattoo designs. Love it
No complaints about what Frank La Natra has put together. Great content.
Only issues is I had to take screen shots of each page and wasn’t able to save to my iBooks.
Any way to resolve that?
Hi Sheldon, You can save your downloaded PDFs to iBooks. When you download the eBook, click the Share symbol in your Safari browser and there should be an option to 'Copy to iBooks.' You can email support@tattoosmart.com if you have any further trouble importing it into iBooks.
I've had the book five days and already have a better understanding of motion and design in character tattoos. Would recommend this book to anyone.
Handfull of helpful tips for someone beginning to learn basic drawing techniques. Obviously it leans, stylistically, toward new school/ animated work. Based on the quality of the sample images I had expected to get a little bit more out of it. However I just don't think that I'm the target audience. This is an excellent product for some one just starting on their journey. Maybe a good apprentice gift? Good stuff as always from tattoo smart.
