Our innovative courses will change the way you think about realism

We don't want you to be able to simply copy a photograph. We want you to create work from an understanding of what makes art look real. We're here to take you through everything from foundation skills in creating the illusion of light and form, to more elaborate concepts in design.

Overcome the greatest challenges tattoo artists face

Art is art, but the problems tattoo artists are tasked with solving aren't necessarily the same as a fine artist or illustrator. One of our top priorities is giving you the tools needed to create work that looks realistic and three-dimensional, from a flat, two-dimensional photograph as reference. We'll go over concepts to create better work, that also holds up better over time. You'll learn how to make art that looks good shown up close, but also holds together as a strong design from a distance. These are just a few of the many problems we're here to help you solve!

Don't forget to get your copy of Mastering Realism, by Lanny Markasky, and featuring Mike DeVries!

What separates Mastering Realism from other instructional books on art, is the focus on techniques specific to tattoo artists, and teaching art from the perspective of working from photo reference. It teaches strong foundation skills in creating the illusion of realism and three-dimensional form, as well as an understanding of the problems that come from using photo reference and how to overcome them. Complicated ideas are broken down and simplified with clear diagrams and illustrations, making them easy to understand.
