for those do who do not know....you will not have to experience the boasting of one person that had taken up most of this post...I my self,loved when people like Allan came on here and showed me a level of ballpoint art that I never knew was possible! I feel I have to apologize for the way that this thread got turned inside out by one person.....I would really like it if people would go back to the original title of this post and show everyone what they can do with ballpoint....no KINGS of the pen but those that understand what it takes to actually sit there and use nothing but a pen(or several as I have learned).....I am basically an artist that stumbled onto a pen and it changed my life...literally...I was bored at work one day and yada yada yada....it took me to a place I never thought I would be able to achieve......so ,all I am trying to say is post whatever you want and please keep it on track....if I want to hear about God and his deciples.....I will take 2 Advils and try and make it to church.....or better yet....maybe I will pick up my ballpoint pen and instead of writing a letter....I will draw a picture.......

Is that ballpoint pen ?? Wooww ! excellent !!

That's more like it Randy and Minnie! I'm not a ball point pen artist by any means but I can certainly appreciate the time and patience involved in these works. We all have or own forte in something..... gosh, it would be such a boring world if we were all the same.

Thanks for returning here to share your love of art.

My very latest polychrome Ballpoint pen portrait !

It's an auto portrait ! Some days, it's kinda disturbing to spend all day long to draw boring stuff for work when you feel like to draw more fun personal art project !

That's the idea of this picture :)

This is a rather sketchy raccoon. The color is liquid ink, the drawing is with a Monteverde ballpoint pen. Computer added tan matt. It's a study for a larger painting. Fun drawing, Allan

Amazing works....both of them...I have been straying away from the pen as I am in school and don't have the time to spend with it. I miss it but it is fun getting back to mediums I haven't use in years....Randy
