A new series of Siamese cat x flowers

Hello Brenda, thank you so much for your kind words. I’ve been using a ballpoint pen called zebra rubber 80. Some additional information can be found in this topic.

At dusk-new ballpoint pen drawing

Hi David, thank you so much for your lovely comment! My choice of ballpoint pen as my current art medium is directly influenced by a Japanese artist Shohei Otomo. At first I was wondering if he used some ink applications, not only a pen, to produce that really smooth grey gradations of human skins. But as the video introduced in the above article shows, he doesn’t…he does all the grey parts using incredibly diligent hatching only. This is possible because he uses a ballpoint pen. In particular…

Hope this helps!
