Description Yus, I've barely been submitting any drawings lately... I HAVE SO MANY RETARDED WORK IN PROGRESS SKETCHES IT'S NOT FUNNY, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY PROCRASTINATION AND THUS CHANGED MY DEVIANT STATUS. D:

Alright... well, this is pretty old. Those of you who know me IRl already realize that I've had this drawing sitting in my binder for about a month now. I finally took it out and my dad insisted it was done. I edited the colors a bit and added a crappy brush background. It was done completely in ballpoint pen (blue). The kid is pretty upset. What he's drinking is a Red Bull and he doesn't like the aftertaste, so he crushes it after he's finally finished. Afterwards, he will then run up that wall and fall into the tree that I was goingto draw in the background before I got too lazy to keep going on this thing.

This all started as some doodle I started ages ago, and I sort of... went from there. I tried to detail it a lot with hatching, which was a challenge. It's realistic up to the face, I suppose. I NEVER do pen and ink, but I want to try. Pen is fun, only it's really hard because if you make one crucial mistake, you're automatically done for. I screwed up the most on the wall thinger. Plus the proportions suck beyond belief. As always, I discourage crit on this one for a reason. I know darn well what I did wrong here, but I think it's worth showing off what I can do with ballpoint pen. I've come to like exploring with new media. It's fun, especially when I somehow use it correctly.

Well, enjoy! (ZOMG I DREW A GUY! LOL!)

MATERIALS USED: Ballpoint pen on bristol board (Even pen is good on this paper! Better than copy paper!) and colors were edited on PSP X. Background was made using PSP also.

PS: a technical not. ballpoint pen is only so-so effective. In the end it`s more of a pencil since you can`t modulate. You could try traditional inking sometimes. Or not. Just a thought!

Yeah, I just wanted to see what a ballpoint pen would turn out like after doing so many pen doodles on school worksheets. I'm practicing pen and ink at the moment, actually. I hope I can come up with some decent ideas.

Your hatching is very good, it's loose yet precise at the same time ... the lines flow and it works really well!

the cloth shading is very good and realistic, but you should learn hand anatomy.

Beautiful shading work, it's my favorite aspect.
All the creases and folds are prevalent
and match that of reality wonderfully.
I love the baby face on your model, cute!

I'd have to say this guy doesn't look so listless, just inactive. I'd say a slight foreward tilt to the head would give it that subtle loss of list (to be punny). As for everything else about it, wonderful!

Stephanie-Chivas [2007-03-28 21:13:48 +0000 UTC]

Very cool, was it all done from scratch in pen? No pencil? I so can't do that, all my sketches start as stick figures and then build up. I wish I could just put pen to paper and draw like this.

I did something with ball point pen, its fun. 8D but I did it with colored ones so its very limited too. ):

But this is really goof for your first time, if there is some mistakes you pulled it off really well, because i pretty much spot no flaws. x3

Jezzy-Fezzy [2007-03-28 05:51:15 +0000 UTC]

WOW! That is amazing! Especially when you put alot of detail on this piece, with only the use of the Ballpoint pen!


Impressive! Despite what you think of this drawing, I really dig it!


Excellent! I

Wow, awesome! I love the sketchy effects you achieved with the ballpoint pen...the texture and value is so well-done. The way you do anime faces always stands out to me, too. It's almost realisic-ish, but still soft and fluid. Faving this one~ ;D

good shading
strange anatomy though..
ifink the hand looks slightly awkward... and the arms are too short
but then thats just me

great detail on the pants too

Mew-Sumomo In reply to i-bite [2007-03-28 04:16:08 +0000 UTC]

D: There was really nothing I could do about the anatomy because I don't usually work in pen and it required no preliminary sketches because I originally wanted for it to just be a stupid doodle. Otherwise I would've definetly went back and fixed it. It's not just you. Thanks though!
