Daan Verbruggen's entry in the Gentlemans Classics series is a 120-page hardcover packed with sketches, line drawings, and full-colour paintings. It is the fourth book in the range, which was put together to give tattooers solid, usable reference in the classic styles.
Daan is best known for his Japanese work, especially dragons and masks, and those subjects carry much of the book. You'll also find fish, flowers, warriors, and skulls, often shown as loose pencil studies next to the finished colour design so you can see how a piece is built from first lines to final palette.
As a Japanese tattoo book it works on two levels: tracing-ready ideas for the shop, and a close look at how an experienced hand handles flow and composition. A good fit for anyone collecting the Gentlemans Classics set or building out their Japanese reference shelf.
