My Ballpoint Pen Art

I drew this to try something new, something rare to be done in ballpoint pen art. I drew five hours every night for 3 weeks. I used multi-colored pens; for details, for halftone or shading, and for dark tones.

I used Pencil first, a very light initial pencil sketch. Sometimes I use freehand if my subject is easy. I use grid lines for those subjects which need attention to the details. Here I used grid lines first, then I copy from my reference. I work randomly throughout the drawing, beginning with those areas where details are very meticulous.
