## FORM & STRUCTURE | The Foundation
*   Form is the overall shape, mass, and flow.
*   Structure is how forms are arranged, balanced, and supported.

## The Black Silhouette Test
*   A successful design must work as a solid black shape first.
*   The human eye processes silhouettes before micro-details.

## Hierarchy of Perception
1.  Silhouette (Highest Impact)
2.  Large Shapes
3.  Medium Shapes
4.  Small Details (Lowest Impact)

## Universal Structure & The 60-30-10 Rule
*   60%: Primary forms and big shapes.
*   30%: Secondary forms and depth.
*   10%: Texture and fine details.
*   Applies across fields: Tattooing, Architecture, Painting, and UI/UX.

## Structure in Tattooing
*   Strong forms survive skin aging and ink spread better than micro-details.
*   Anatomical flow and black structure are critical for longevity.

## Teaching Methodology
*   Never add shading before structure is established.
*   Never add details before the silhouette works.
*   Habit: Start every design with simple shapes and flat values.
