Description Back to the basics...it was time to polish that ballpoint pen, yet again...and was not mood to draw another "Kitty"

So here you have it.

Drawn with inexpensive Bic Ballpoint Pen on piece of paper

Big thanks to RoeiG for letting me use his photograph as a reference. Here is the link to his amazing gallery: [link]

awesome detail and shading.. i guess the only downside to drawing with bic pens is that they aren't archival and tend to have a reddish tint, but they do shade really well with a light touch.

i imagine the original drawing must be at least 10x8 to get all those details and smoothness (is that a word?) out of it.

looks really good, as always

TruthX10 [2008-08-23 16:30:08 +0000 UTC]

Wow! You did this with only a ballpoint pen? Those ones that you can get a pack of a dozen for $1.39?

I don't think drawings get much better than this. You are truly a master of your craft.

Skoane In reply to TruthX10 [2008-08-23 17:06:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, those are Bic ballpoint pens that I use when I draw.

Thank you again.

D...yeah, but it was kind of fun. I do not draw like this often so from time to time it is not that bad.

Thanks for commenting, though!
