Hello neighbor, hope you're doing great
Permit me to disturb your scrolling with my new piece of art
I had a dream where I drew something with a different technique and I thought I'd try it out.. the new technique produced a nice result, just needs more practice and perfection will be achieved

Title: untitled
Medium: HB pencil and blue ballpen on paper
Duration: 4hrs

Before I let y'all scroll through the WIP, I'd like to drop a hint on my technique which was the cross hatching technique but it got to a point where I couldn't achieve the dark tones I needed, so I have to add pressure and cross hatch with back and forth lines.
Ladies and gentlemen, your WIP🤲🏽😌

Nice! The lines on the forehead is quite sharp, but it's a nice technique you got in there. Ballpoint pen is not an easy medium to use but it can be pretty fun especially with the repetitive lines. :D You did well on your first try!

Thank you very much
You speak like an artist
I couldn't cover for the error on the forehead.. I added way too much pressure on that contour.. lesson learnt😅

Hahaha. We had a lot of ballpoint pen session in college, I kinda hated it at first but it became therapeutic along the way. Not my favorite medium but I think you're a fast learner. :D That's the problem with pens, there's no erasure hahah

Lol, that's really cool, You had an art community in school.
I started using it during the lockdown in 2020, I was broke and couldn't get pencils. So I had to learn to use the Pen. I kinda like the No Erasure Idea tho.. it makes me think creatively to improvise

So you job is good I really like the way the eyes look in your portrait, but your portrait looks great.

How long does it take you to make a portrait in pen?
