If you want to rework it digitally id, Move the focal point (toombstone) far furter to the right in the image and extend to island to the left, to get a better composision. Ad more details to the island and make the leafs of the palmtree more detailed shapewise, possibly add more of them (and skull coconuts ). Add a dramatic sky, possible underwater detail, traced shadows etc. It could possibly be a good image.

Thx Dance, i know what your saying,
when i started the sketch i only had the idea of the tree with skulls, and started to sketch not so in the middle of the paper, but yeah it will be a full island with lots of detail

I may hold this idea back till i can aford a tablet ( i want a good one though )

V2 Sketch

The next step will be too draw this properly, using a ball point pen, then i will be adding color
This will be the first time i have done a proper drawing in a long time, i used to sell tattoo style art to the tattoo shops
years ago, my hand drawn art using a ball point pen, look like prints i get really smooth thick lines

We will see how it turns out
Anyway heres the v2 sketch

[Dance]

Hrrrm, something is wrong with the perspectine on the toombstone, i think the top isnt matching how it sticks into the ground.. Looks like it leans forward when it leans back.

Also i must confess i liked the design of the old toombstone better the beveled top made it look more "sofisticated".

Keep on workin m8y!

I see what you mean Dance m8, but this time the tombstone is behind the palm skull tree, ( comes out of the ground and with the intentional bend in the tomb stone like its ready for bending back over the palm tree ( a little bit )

I like this sketch more then the first one, and the way its going to be done with thick black lines ( tattoo style )
will look great once it is finished, but then again when i do this properly on my drawing card ( water color card i use )
things could change, as thay usually do

But thx for your comment Dance m8

Thx guys for the comments, i have always been interested in learning tattoo, i was looking at some tattoo kits on ebay last week,
most of them come with starter skins ( fake skin ) and a learning dvd, also been reading some books a-z on how to tattoo and also the need to know dangers of tattooing, very interesting

Sorry about the crap scan of my ink work, it don't look smooth in the scan at all
