I've been planning to watch the anime "Seven Deadly Sins" for a long time. A couple of nights without sleep - and here you have another fan of this anime. I liked it not only for the battles, but for the original characters and their life stories. So I just couldn't help but draw something on this theme.
Since just drawing art was boring to me, I paid attention to what the Sins themselves have in common. They are tattoos. I decided to make them in color, explaining the process of creating each one step by step.
Materials: pencil, black gel pen, eraser, colored pencils, sketchbook and of course, imagination and mood.
Let's start with the sin of lust - Gouter. His tattoo is a scarlet goat.
1. We start with pencil sketches.
2. After tracing everything with a pencil. Since the original tattoos have no light and shade, I added them myself to enhance the effect of brightness.
3. Now let's start painting. Artists "paint," not paint. Only fences are painted. You paint, not paint.
Here I decided to apply the technique of painting in spots, without smooth transitions. With a darker shade of the chosen color, paint around the black outline. Next - a lighter shade near the dark one. Take the lighter one, so to speak, in a circle in the middle. The glare on the horns I did so - after I did everything in color, I used an eraser and rubbed the right place on the horns. After that, I intensified the outline with dark red, and the glare itself with white.
[I]The next sin of envy is Diana.
Working with this art is exactly the same, so for this and the next art I will show everything more clearly in photos of the process. The only thing is that I left the glare on the snake beforehand. I just separated it from the background. Very easily I put the purple shade, and then covered the top with white.
The seven deadly sins.
Anger. In Renaissance art this sin is represented in the form of a woman tearing her clothes off.
Greed. A favorite object of medieval sculptors and later painters. It was usually symbolized by a man with a purse or a harpy, clawed at a miser sitting on a pile of gold (sometimes gold apples). Other symbols of greed are the rat and the toad.
Gluttony. The embodiment of gluttony - fat man or animal, most often associated with this bodily flaw - pig, bear, fox, wolf or hedgehog.
Lust. A popular subject for medieval artists. In Western art it was usually portrayed as a snake or a toad. ingratiating itself with a woman's breasts or genitals. Women's sexual desires seemed more repugnant to the church than men's. Other emblems of hunting: monkey, donkey, bear, hog, cat, rooster, goat, hare, horse, leopard, pig, rabbit, centaur, satyr, minotaur, basilisk, witch, devil and torch.
Pride. In Western art this sin was usually depicted as a woman with a peacock and a lion or an eagle, the basic emblems of the earthly and heavenly world. The biblical dictum, "Pride precedes perdition, and haughtiness precedes fall" (Proverbs of Solomon, 16:18) was the reason pride was depicted as a rider falling from the saddle. This symbolism is reflected in Caravaggio's painting The Transfiguration of St. Paul (1600), which shows Saul (the future apostle Paul) falling from his horse on the road to Damascus. Other symbols of pride are a rooster, a fallen angel, a leopard, a mirror and the Tower of Babel.

Tattoos 7 Deadly Sins
"7 Deadly Sins" is a tattoo with multiple designs. You can depict the vices in any form you like. For example, some people prefer to wear just an inscription with their name, while others depict the sin in the form of a beautiful girl with the appropriate attributes.
The artist Sean Koss' vision of the 7 vices is considered unusual by the masters. He depicted sins in black, while reflecting all their most negative qualities on paper.
Greed is depicted as the dried-up figure of a tycoon whose face has turned into a skull with the smoking pipes of factories sticking out of it. Greed has dollar signs on his chest, and his hands look like bones with oil oozing out of them.
Gluttony or gluttony was represented by an overweight figure swinging on a sausage swing and holding a large chicken leg in his hand. And lust is represented by a thin demon with his legs spread apart. On his nipples there are piercings in the shape of crosses, and handcuffs and other devices for sexual games can be seen nearby.
Lazarus is represented as a sprawling, amorphous creature, lounging imposingly on a seesaw made of wires. Gadget chargers are plugged into his head, and smartphones and tablets lie nearby.
The artist also saw envy in an unusual way. He depicted it as a slender girl with a model-like appearance, wearing a crown on her head. At that, the face of vice expresses nothing, and on it stands out only a fake smile stretched wide with clothespins. Over the head of envy hang surgical scalpels, keys, and hearts.
Pride from the artist Koss looks like a desiccated Koshchei the immortal. It is dressed in a long mantle, and on its head adorned with a bone crown, in the form of the towers of a Catholic church.
Wrath in the master's painting is depicted as a human figure with knives sticking out of its head. The monster himself is surrounded by barbed wire and crosses.
The most popular sketches for tattoos on the theme of 7 vices are:
- 7 skulls;
- 7 demons;
- a pretty girl's face;
- cartoon characters;
- animals.
On the back of men can be found a tattoo in the form of 7 skulls, tightly pressed together. Usually such a picture is applied in black ink. Sometimes the skulls are signed with the names of vices. You can also meet and colored inserts on each of them, by which you can recognize the desired sin.
From ancient times, the skull has been a symbol of truth and signified peace and destruction at the same time. Sometimes a tattoo with 7 skulls indicates that the person has conquered all the weaknesses in himself and renounced everything that corrupts the soul.
The picture of the 7 demons also embodies known mortal vices. Otherworldly beings can be either colored or black and white. Sometimes the one who wants to make such a tattoo chooses one demon to convey the conceived.
Usually the inhabitants of Hell are drawn with terrible grimaces on their faces. Some are missing an eye and some have a snake coming out of their mouth. Among men, it is fashionable to make such a tattoo on church themes in the form of a colored sleeve on the whole arm. In this case, the demons are depicted burning in the bright orange flames of the furnace.
In translation from Latin, the word "demon" means "giver of wisdom". Sometimes such a persistent pattern indicates the victory over their own vices, and in other cases - complete submission to their weaknesses and dark will.
There are tattoos "7 sins" on men's bodies, embodied in the form of a female silhouette. In one case, a beautiful brunette looks at the world angrily and arrogantly, in the other - dressed in a costume for role-playing games. The girl's appearance depends on which of the vices she embodies. This picture in most cases is monochrome and performed in dark shades.
In ancient times, a woman in different religions was considered the embodiment of sin and temptress. The owner of such a permanent picture wants to show that he defeated the vice or overcame his passion and decided to be alone.
Among fans of anime is popular series with the same name "7 deadly sins". Folovers of this culture prefer to wear the characters from this cartoon on their bodies. Tattoos in this case do color, but sometimes you can meet and monochrome pictures, applied to the skin with black ink. The drawing indicates that the person likes this or that character and has no mystical connotations.
Often the seven vices are depicted in the form of animals. For example, the leader of the magi, which represents Meliodas and embodies anger, is depicted as a dragon. A snake is drawn as Diana, who embodies envy, and a fox with a fluffy tail is drawn as Ban, the possessor of greed.
A character named King embodies all the signs of laziness. He is depicted as a bear with his paw raised. A manga fan's tattoo of a goat with twisted horns denotes the character Gauter, who symbolizes lust. In the form of a boar, representing gluttony, a hero named Merlin is applied to the skin, and fans of Eskanor, who has pride, stuffed with a tattoo of a lion.
Fans of classic sin themes prefer tattoos with biblical animal imagery, where a cat represents anger and a tortoise represents laziness. An ant womb with many pawed minions is the embodiment of greed, and a leaping goat with long hair and thin horns represents lust.
A dog with a bone in its teeth indicates that the person has overcome gluttony, and a tattoo with a peacock, spreading its tail, indicates pride, or that its owner was able to overcome this sin. The snake, swallowing its tail, is a symbol of envy and indicates that the owner of such a tattoo is not subject to it.

A couple of fresh tattoo projects for a client. While I'm sitting at home, there's plenty of time to draw. I'm sensing an increase to the tablet by the end of the month.
