Description
This was an early test on doing halo effects with a ball point pen. I think it feels very (for lack of the right term) Renaissance era feeling. Like a rememberancer was doing a portrait and couldn't afford Gold leaf to make a shining Halo so they played around with gradients of their ink. I figured he looked very Regal and Roman and decided It would be a more restrained image of Calgar. Maybe its someone else what do you think?Related content

I like this. Makes him look a lot more human than the usual depictions. And yes, very regal looking.

very nice sketch... i have recently found the utility of ballpoint as well... im amazed with the effects one can create with such a simple writing tool.. i had honestly never thought of it as a drawing tool until not long ago when doodling at work...

no other implement has had more research and development invested into a simple mark making tool. You can do a amazing things, I think its better then the pencil. Just not as easy to undo yet. I have a bout a dozen different blue pens I use to draw with, and they all do stuff differently.

I like this your vision of Calgar. True son of Macragge.
May be he needs some other variants of the lips, what do you think?
And, of course, colouring or just shading.

Hehehe I kidda liked the non-perfect shape to the lips, that and the femine look to them. With my blue pen drawings I don't really do much in the way of corrections to them, they are basically sketching with pen. It allows me to be a little looser with my image's lines and shapes. If I get around to it one day I may colour it.
