Description Second drawing with my colored ballpoint pens. Unfortunately I do not have a scanner and my camera took consistently bad pictures of this. I tried to make it look as close to the original as possible, but there is only so much you can do with a bad photo.

8x10
Ballpoint pens (9 colors) on white cardstock
~20 hours (lost count)

This was referenced from a photograph of me jumping with my horse TC.

Wow! I love coloured biro art I've been trying to buy some coloured biros myself. This is amazing

Thank you very much. I'm still pretty new to it. I had always previously worked with only black.

Yeah, I only use black at the moment. I'm definitely going to buy colours when I have the money.

I found a package of colored ballpoints at the dollar store once. It had a pretty decent color range too so that's always something to check out.

Ok, I'll have to look. There's an art store near where I live, too, so I'll try there at some point.

Bad photo? Good grief, drawing is amazing! Do you mind if I ask what brand of pens you are using? I have never seen such excellent work with ball point pens! This is so lifelike, and the composition is wonderful. Love it!

Thank you very much I really appreciate the kind comments. I have a mix of different brands of pens, but the two sets I have with a wide range of the colors in them are Raymond Geddes Scent-sibles (they have scented ink) and Staedtler ballpoint stick pens. I'm sure I used a few other random brands in there too, but if you just want to buy one or two packs with most of the colors then I'd suggest those.
