Old Fool

4.5cm x 11cm. Ballpoint pen sketch. Kilometrico 0.5 ballpoint.

This was a pencil doodle before I decided to work on it. The ballpoint allows some rather fine work which can be very distinct from work done with pigment ink technical pens. The techniques used with a ballpoint are, of course, a world away. Fundamentals of drawing, however, remain the same.

Getting consistent ink flow from a cheap ballpoint is part of the challenge.

Lastly, the scanner can't seem to capture the detailed lines of this drawing. Bah.
