  • 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.

  • absolutely mental skills on this one...xD

  • Do you ever get fed up with your drawings when you feel like they are not working out the way you would like them?

  • this is so 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!

  • mind blown!!

    

  • i wish Mat Daymon can see this.

  • 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!

  • thats amazing i realy like your drawings..........imagine what you could do if you would use a pencil :P

  • Nice Work !!!

  • who gives dislikes to such genius art?!?!

  • @spooxXD other artists .

  • ARE YOU HUMAN?? thats crazy good

  • it's amazing when u did the hair

  • How many pens did you use? o.o

  • And with a pen that never puts out the right amount of ink that you want

  • hello jesus i found your god.

  • WOOOOOW !!!

    I have no words to explain how amazing this is.

  • very nice.. blue is the real deal.. it gives that "negative photo" look. truly excellent.

  • he made a connect the dots... :O

  • you are so amazing, you are what I strive for when I do art.

  • Amazing. I can't get that shading even with 10 shades of graphite.

  • @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.

  • Do you ever mess up

  • kinda looks like michael ballack :D

  • 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!

  • That's it! I'm gonna start calling you as the printer man lol

  • please someone tell me what is the name of the bg music?!

  • look mine up! :) i did one too. (look below) and no spaces of course!

  • Holy shit you are so amazing.

  • MAAATTT DAAAYYMOON

  • f*ck awesome!! looks like it's been printed when it's done

  • So AWESOME! :O

  • Myatt Daymun

  • Do you sell copies of these? A trillion thumbs up:)

  • Did you start with a light sketch or did you go straight into pen?

  • OMG THAT'S AMAZING!! I CAN'T EVEN DO MY EXAMS WITH THOSE THINGS!!!

  • I think it's amazing how you start off by making a few marks at the beginning and end up with a beautiful portrait. You make it look so easy!

  • Do you cross-hatch? I really want to learn this.

  • Very Nice! Would you please let me know this song name?

  • Comment removed

  • absolutely sick!!! Could you pls do a real-time vid about all the little measurements you make at the beginning?

  • 4th time watching this.

  • very nice work !!!

  • 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..

    Wow, great job!!

  • 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 ? :)

  • @pepsi89 shut up stop making skyrim jokes!

  • I am so trying to do this on the back of my next chemistry test.

  • <3 this. I do most of my portraits with a ballpoint pen.

  • i just really have no idea how this is possible

    ;D

  • OH MY GOD.

  • wicked :D plz name of the song ?

  • You absolute freak of nature :o

  • How can anyone dislike this video, must have no taste of art.

  • Wicked awesome!!!

  • 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.

  • well is really name was david webb

  • i love bourne :(

  • Are you fucking kidding me? I wish I have 1% of his talent :(

  • @RIZZFTW i think you do have 1%... i'd rather wish i had like 60%

  • you are the ONE O.O

  • Further proof that it's not how fancy your equipment is, but how you use it.

  • how many pens did you go through..?

  • When they were handing out talent you clearly went back for seconds, thirds, forths and fifths. simply astounding!

  • dang. i thought i was good at art. but i got absolutely nothin on this guy. bravo. well done.

  • 2:58 I see you erase part of his hair at the front.. and I'm like, "whoa". how do you erase pen?

  • what kind of pen do you use? you seem to have very few ink blotches. i found one type of pen that works alright, but yours seems better.

  • I love art! - _ -

  • did u change pens?

  • draw yourself? ...

  • 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!

  • hmmm i've never tried ball point pen:P it must be hard to use but it definetely has a great outcome

  • wow

  • Wow did you draw this without reference pic?

  • matt damon would be proud

  • @CreateAccount649 I beg to differ

  • Damnn

  • do you look at pictures of the people while you draw or just from you remebering how they look?

  • @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.

  • @ThePortraitArt ok not bad....need to improve th e nose a little

  • Comment removed

  • ok i have it planned. Im going to draw one portrait every day at school in pen, by the end of the year ill have to be this good.

  • its amazing how the artist started off with like 15 random looking dots and in the end it became this masterpiece

  • 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!!

  • Remarkable!

  • If you draw my cock it'll be a glimpse of heaven

  • stupid question, but do you use a template to go off of? this is just amazing and inspirational

  • That is just plainly beautiful artistic skills right there! Such wonderful art from a great artist

  • how long did it take you? you are amazing!!

  • He's a HUMAN PRINTER!!!! goodness! I draw but dang he has everything on point! Good Job man.

  • @omni101 Yea it's this thing called "jealousy"

  • how the hell did he manage this i cant even write my full name with out messing up with pen

  • you know before this video the pen had a small side roll in the movie liar liar....

  • this is amazing. Ive drawn with ball point pens before and its not as hard as some people think. The only bad thing about it is that you cant erase

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOW MAN!

  • Comment removed

  • really? how is this possible? I mean for some "human" to dislike this mans talent... I chaulk it up to hate!

  • You are super talented! Very cool and Inspiring (^.^) 

  • Ball point takes FOREVER!!!! haha how long was the original video? great work on the skin!

  • It's not your fault. It's not your fault. Listen to me son, it's not your fault. It's not your fault.

  • @Basomic lol when i draw this i was thinking more of the "Bourne" persona, but GWH is awesome movie too.

  • Ohohohhohoho, if only I had your skills...

  • 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.

  • the 5 people who dislikes this gave a shot but failed..

  • This guy doesn't afraid of anything.

  • 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?

  • You sir, have an amazing talent. I only wish I could draw anything to any degree of accurateness that you do.

  • What song is that

  • how did you manage to do this and not smear blue ink everywhere??

  • @mosao69 ink from ball point pen doesn't really smear much at all. give it a shot.

  • IMPOSSIBRUE

    a speck of pain on a canvas is art, this guy is concidered a portrait drawer... i love the art community, thank god i have nothing invested in it.
