On the "Ball Point" Pen Drawings


Here is one of my sketches, complete with shading and great tonal values.
Have you ever done a drawing with a regular writing, ball point pen?


This is an inventive and imaginary photo of my wife and I set back in time.


Looking at a work of art done in blue ink is unique. I try to keep my lines sketchy and free flowing so that there is energy and life in each pen stroke. More to come.

Great project to do and I'll be following along. Love those blue and white sketches. Might have to give that blue pen idea a try. Only worked with black so far.
