Great drawing. I started drawing this year with black gel point pen. It's good to see what is possible with just one pen colour. I like pen because its cheap to buy a pack of them and it forces one to concentrate and get it right the first time which helps me learn quicker. I'm inspired to be working on the shading more after seeing you in action, its good.
You are so gifted, for real. I watched this in awe then thought as I watched the second time around... You're like watching, a human injet printer. Wow!
Just thinking as I was watching this, Picasso could have done this all day every day and instead turned away from photo-realism for the most part. I don't know which is the more perplexing,someone having master-draftsmanship skills like this, or having the skill and choosing not to use it!
@AndrevwZA I know right? I watch these videos and my whole view on art is changed with ever one. I would never imagine that something like this would be possible with a single ball-point pen. People amaze me.
You impressed me on the eye! At first i thought you shaded the right eye too dark but it turned out amazing! How do you even start out your technique though? With those random lines that seem to come from nowhere starting with the eyes and such?
So it is possible to shade to this caliber using cross-hatching techniques :/ You're much more advanced than me but I'll learn from your tutorials. Thanks a bunch!
1) You have MAD ballpoint skills, that potrait was incredible and i'm not just throwing around compliments!
2) How long did that drawing take you?
3) Do you think you could make a quick video showing your techniques? I was especially impressed w/ the outline you started out with. I've never quite seen one like it, but yet you achieved perfect proportions.. The most amazing part was that it all seemed to be played by eye..
Amazing drawing! I didn't know that something like that could come out of a ball point pen. By the way what's the song name called, it's so relaxing ? :)
yeah,thats real a Ball Point pen...lol i just thinking he will secretly switch the ball point with something else,but yeah,it was really BALL POINT PEN.
I'd be afraid to use a ball point pen without a sketch in pencil first.. But I'm NO WHERE close to being as good as you.. But your videos are inspiring me to draw, I'm picking up a sketch pad tomorrow and a bunch of pencils!
@rijumi5 most time i do use some kind of visual reference, but just as reference since I modify, add and change it as i see fit but there is usually some kind of reference.
Wow!! I can't believe that you can actually put the size proportions on paper without any tracers.. I learned the cross-hatching technique last year in 7th grade and it was soo hard for me to get the shadowing correct. Also I had to use the erasers a lot. So you can tell how mind blowing this is for me that u used pen! This is super amazing!!
Most of the time i draw with pen at school when I'm bored.. I do it to practice my drawing skills in shadowing and shining. But this is just to good. I Subscribe. You inspired me to at least draw just as good as you. It might take years but IDC.
I love drawing with a ball point pen. You get it right the first time or you start over. You don't get much in the way of second chances when working with ink. :D
3 people thought the button next to Like says Dis i like! Yet I wonder, what's the hardest drawing tool you can use to make a portrait? I figured it would be a ball point pen, is it right? Cause this by far is amazing skills.
Hey, I've got to say your art is amazing and probably the best I've seen. I'm wondering did you take any specific art lessons or are you completely self-taught? and how long would you say it's taken you to draw at these stunning standards?
