Ballpoint pen drawing of Kate Moss 2 by James Mylne

я не могу сказать, сколько раз я это посмотрела. но он действительно делает это шариковой ручкой. I started drawing with ballpoint at 13, began using my stroke by stroke shading technique around 16. I m now almost 29 so it has taken a while to get it where I m at with it now. So I guess LOTS of practice is needed. My advice is to try your own techniques and there s nothing wrong with smudging pencil to get nice shades, I was doing that for a long while until i settled on ballpoint.
