Default Does anybody know how to design this?

I'd like to know if anyone knows about a tutorial that shows you how to do animal tattoos. To be more descriptive I attached a picture of the kind of tattoo I am talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if there's a specific tutorial for animal tattoos but it's quite a basic technique, I'd use the pen tool and a bit of talent (if I had any). If you're doing a range some of the features would be useful for other designs so it's not worth drawing an outline and dropping white boxes on it.
Search for aboriginal art, I think that's the style.

If you are not too good at drawing you could find a picture of the animal you want and draw the basic shapes over that image using it as a guide. If you have any software you could convert to image to black and white then trace it and add the shapes you want.

Have a search on tattoo sites for ideas and there are some good ones on vectorstock and istock.

Hi - another angle would be to search Google images - there are many tattoo clips out there to give you a jump start on some ideas, shapes and styles. But a vector program would be good for this kind of graphic, like Illustrator or Corell. Good luck!
