In the premiere episode, the artists will be seen taking part in an initiation challenge, in which they will all have to sketch a live nude model. In the promo for the episode, Dave Navarro is seen telling the contestants that they have three rounds to complete and those three rounds will be part of the initiation challenge.
Once the artists finish sketching a full length portrait of the model in the best possible way, they will move on to the next round of the challenge. "Get stuck, and your first challenge in this competition will be a fail," Navarro reminds them.
His words make everyone nervous, with Rockoff even saying, "I have never done a live drawing before. This is the worst f**king challenge I have ever been faced with in my life."
Watch Season 7 Episode 1 of "Ink Master" at 10 p.m. (EST) on Tuesday, March 1, 2016. You can also live-stream the premiere episode via Spike TV Live.
