eBook: Ornamental Archive by Russ Abbott

Been following Russ Work for years now and have even been fortunate enough to wear a couple of his tattoos. Super glad he put all the filigree in one spot, so now I don’t have to take off my shoes and look at my feet(location of tattoos Russ did for me) any time I need a good illustrative filigree reference. All the stuff I bought from tattoo smart has been super helpful keep them comming!

Perfecto para tomar referencias ornamentales, tanto para realismo como newschool!

An awesome reference for filigree just as I expected it would be.

The shop I apprenticed at had an original copy of Ornamental Archive that I enjoyed studying. Three years later I found myself struggling on a sleeve design with several incohesive elements, needing to add cohesion and flow. After considering several options, Russ Abbott's book popped into my head, and I immediately knew that was the way I was going to achieve the results I desired. I bought the e-book, printed out a few key pages for reference, and it all fell in place, giving me the unified, flowing result I was looking for. Thanks Russ, it would have taken hours of searching, and I still would not have found the sort of quality ornamental drawings in this book.

A great reference book, tons of awesome illustrations!

I'm relatively new to digital art and tattoo design. Let me say after hearing Russ Abbott talk about CSP, along with quite a bit of research I bought a Wacom tablet and have been getting everything CSP related I can and all the stuff here is great. this new 1 was no different. I enjoy scroll work filigree wood working in general and these made it so easy for me to begin to see where I would alter or change something add something else. love the inspiration it brings me, its a big help to have a visible reference to work off of keep it up. next and last for me for the CSP is the tattoo elements and liners and mags. Thanks Tattoo Smart

I totally dig the brushes. The paper textures are great. It was totally worth the wait

I absolutely love this book for reference

Love all the designs. Definitely worth the money.

This book is helpful in regards to reference material to get you started on learning the basic fundamentals of designing Flourishes, Filigree, etc. I recommend this if you are looking for inspiration to adding this type of stuff into your daily works.
