Today I decide to taste, what it will be like to draw with colored ball pens. And also to balance a bit the number of Bela and Farin drawn (poor Rod is not considered by me, I am BAD! ).

I visited SIX stationery shops in Zürich! And only at the last one (already totally discoraged) I found a set of 6 ballpoint pens, which included also yellow. (The option of buying one yellow pen for 17 CHF (approx. $) was not considered, because the final set of six cost 2,85!) Additionally I bought red and black pens separately and was armed with 8 colors: yellow, pink, green, violet, orange, blue, red and black.

More than enough, thought I and to exploit this wonderful palette I chose a photo full of colorful shadows. In principle, it is not very difficult, but I am LAZY to make fine small strokes, clean the pens and to cover large spaces. And I still don't get the blending, I can only get layers of colors and they are pretty visible. That's why the quality is moderate, but still, between 5 and 6 hours invested. My fingers and wrists are sooo tired.

And the process is here:
