I did this 7.5'' x 11'' Indian Ink penwork on white paper without using my injured right thumb. To divert my pain on thumb, I was holding the crow-quil pen by index and middle fingers and started scribbling to create the portrait of late Dr.Radhakrishnan, ex president of India. copyright JF Design

I wouldn't call any of your work scribbling. It is all so excellent. This has a certain pazazz to it that I like.

I think the scribbiling draws the viewer in and takes them on a "trip" in this painting. You are very talented indeed. I'm not sure I could do this using my thumb. Candy Kelly

i have never seen this technique done this way - excellent job!

The technique here is marvelous. Necessity certainly is the mother of invention.

Now that is what I call some serious scribbling

I like this drawing VERY much indeed pa. Might be interesting to do an oil one in the same way. Ron Atkin

i have had a look at your portfolio and i am very impresssed . i had just seen a programme called painted nation on the bill board art work of India , this seems so serendipitous! i have also enjoyed working in ball point but not with such detail and dedication, i enjoy the control the medium affords , this image i like because it has a playful quality !
