Who shouldn't get a deer tattoo?

If you are distinguished by a rigid and even aggressive character, have clear, understandable for you goals and plans, then, on the one hand, the image of a deer on your body will help to soften and learn to relax, to enjoy life, but on the other hand - you can become even too soft, which will prevent you from acting as coherently as before. If you are a naturally practical and rational person, then the tattoo with the image of a noble animal can only do harm - you risk to become frivolous and lose the balance, harmony in your worldview.
Therefore, in order not to disturb the fragile harmony in your own "I", it is strongly recommended to choose some other sketch.

Tips for beginner artists

It is worth noting that the following suggestions are also suitable for children in the older and preparatory groups.

In addition to a simple pencil, it is recommended to use colored pencils, because in this way the drawing will look more colorful.
For very young children, you can use a special stencil. To get the silhouette of a reindeer, you just need to trace it.
To liven up the image, you should add a landscape behind the animal in the form of a forest, beautiful flowers and blue sky.
For those who have already learned to draw well enough, you can suggest depicting other species of this animal without a step-by-step explanation.
Be sure to try again if the first drawing is not as beautiful as you would like it to be.

These recommendations will help to achieve the desired result in the form of a drawing of a beautiful deer.

Where to get a tattoo?

If you dream of a large-scale tattoo, the ideal places for this are the back or chest. Very popular among girls and the thigh - a deer head with branching antlers on the whole thigh looks very seductive and sexy.

Deer antlers, contrary to all stereotypes, are not only a symbol of adultery, but also a kind of tree of life. They are often stuffed girls at the back of the neck - when the hair is gathered into a ponytail, the tattoo becomes visible - or between the breasts.

Particularly often the head of the animal stuffed on the torso, because so it looks very aesthetically pleasing: the deer's muzzle is traced in the solar plexus, and its horns evenly diverge in different directions, rushing to your shoulders.

Approximately the same effect can be achieved by placing the tattoo above the chest or between the shoulder blades, only in this case the image will be less large-scale.

Master classes

Draw the limbs of the deer. As befits all mammals, this animal walks on 4 legs. Each of them should be depicted with 1 line. A total of 4 lines should be drawn, each departing from the torso. Also, each of the lines should end with a small triangle. These will be the reindeer's hooves.
Start drawing the reindeer's face. To do this, it is necessary to draw a long nose and ears in the head area.
Draw 1 of the horns. At the same time create the outline of the 2nd reindeer horn.
Connect the head and torso by drawing a pair between the 2 ovals. This will be a wide neck of the animal.
Make the torso more curved.
Circle the outline of each of the 4 limbs with 2 lines. This will give the deer legs volume.
Draw a little tail of deer.
Add a nice detail. This could be, for example, a scarf. Then whoever is looking at the picture will know at once that it is winter.
The resulting image should be colored with colored pencils or paints.
