I love the textures on this one. Gives it a very oil-painted feel. But the eyes are so liquid, so alive-looking... I love it.

Er. Paint-on-canvas feel.

Wow, your work is so beautiful. I just hope the ink holds up over time... I know Sharpies fade, not sure whether the gel inks will.

Good ballpoint pen ink does not fade, unless you expose it to direct sun light (like any other pigment from any other medium) I have 20 year old drawings intact.

I sorta wish the background was a lighter blue<3 Anyways I love it<3 you did an amazing job with pen. I am a fellow pen user but I can never find many colours D: I use ball point Bic pen. I only have pink blue, light blue, red, green, light green, purple, black. Would you mind telling me what brand you use?

hi, thanks. I also have yellow. I have 8 colors, yellow, orange, magenta, pink, light green, light blue, blue, purple and black. I use the Bic Cristal Pocket Scents. It may look like I have a ton of colors but those are all I got. I just cross hatch and layer them to create the illusion of other colors I don't actually own. (color theory)

Oh snap. I have not even thought to cross hatch the colours o-o I would expect them not to blend. Well thank you ^-^ I shall experiment with them now.

They do not blend! Let's say I want red, i cross hatch yellow until I get a solid yellow, then I cross hatch magenta on top of it until I get red. The yellow shows through the magenta creating the optical illusion of red.
