Top Gun’s Maverick was right when he said, “It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.” It´s not the pen, it´s the artist! Congrats, cheers from Brazil!

I absolutely love drawing with BIC Ballpoint Pens!! They're one of my favorite simple supplies

Totally loved watching the video. And the music was so beautiful and soothing....Me personally, I'm just getting back into drawing and artwork after being away from it for way to many years.

I live in Elmira, Canada, I’m 76 years old and have been drawing all my life. I really enjoy watching KZread channels related to sketching and other types of art. I discovered you a few months ago, and have learned so much, mostly through I enjoy you. The world would be in a much better way if their were lot more people like you 🇨🇦👍

The method you used before you place your ink is fully different that I haven't observed, if I haven't seen you using before then I was missing the point.

I have tried pencil, rollerball, felt point and fountain pen. Recently after seeing videos with draws made with ballpoint pens I decided to try it. It is very interesting, somehow like pencil, in which we can make very soft traces and very strong traces. And it's ink, which I like. And an unexpensive BIC does the job.

That spread looks amazing and just wonderful✨✨ The video was so so soothing, thank you❤️💫🫶🏻

Love this. I just did a challenge with my year six class to draw only using a biro, to get out of the habit of rubbing out all their work. some of their sketches were amazing.

I love this crosshatch or whatever style it's called. You're soo talented

Great video Jess! I was impressed with the range of values were able to obtain just with the ballpoint pen. Sometimes on the same face you went all the way from the darkest tone the pen could do to the light of the paper. You captured so much personality in the faces! Well done!

Bic medium tips are soooo creamy and flexible. Love your style. I can watch you draw for hours 🎉

WOW! Mind blowing spread….your enthusiasm and genuinely excited approach to your art (plus your mad skills) are just SO inspiring! And a ball point pen?! Crazy!

I love how you do your noses. At first I thought they started off too big, then I watched to see how you did the shading, and it all came together nicely. I’ll have to try that myself and see if it helps, because I always struggle with noses. And then I will get brave and try sketching with a pen…

That sketchbook spread just touches my heart! I really love watching other people doing portrature, hyperrealism and use many mediums, BUT what I like drawing and painting are flowers( and very rarely landscapes). I use most commonly watercolor and othervice just simple pencils. When I feel pressure from social media to paint some other things, it sometimes makes me feel like I´m some kind of mechanical alien. It just doesn´t make me feel good like art´s supposed to be. So : I love art in all forms, but I do what I like is best for me!

Thanks for that, that’s a new one for me!

It is great watching how you slowly build and bounce around as you finish each face. I always tend to hyper focus on one aspect of the face rather then just relaxing and and letting myself just flow with were my eyes and hands take me. It has been really nice to see how others draw and complete their art, slow and steady wins the race. Also it helped me recall what you said in a prior video. You mentioned it took DaVinci 4 years to paint the Mona Lisa and in my head I always assumed art needed to be completed right then and there. I have learned so much over the recent years and I am finally glad that it is all coming together and clicking for me now. Thank you again for your time in sharing your knowledge. It has helped me tremendously in more ways then you know. Art is so healing. Thank you!!!

That's some very clean and fun line work. Love your style hovering right between realism and caricature. I teach in a secondry, and in between lessons or during quiet moments, I always sketch out random heads/faces with a biro. Perhaps 3-4 a week. The kids now take them from me and cut them out and they made a wall in one of the English classrooms called "Sir's Drawings". It's getting pretty full now! But I'm always trying to inspire the creative ones who draw!

@@annamarielewis7078 No I thought about it many years ago but the idea of sitting, with purpose, at my desk after work and filming myself drawing doesn't appeal to me. I often hang out in the Art rooms at school during my free periods, and always join in or walk around giving advice and demonstrations. The old Art teacher is glad of it. But with my sketching and drawing, it's just something I do these days. I can't stop doing it, because thats just who I am, but it's spur of the moment for me - very different to when I was a student and had to actively plan a drawing, from conception to final piece etc! I'm glad those days are over. Now I just do it for fun and relaxation and keeping my hand in. I teach English and History, not Art. But I'm lucky to have a talent for drawing and spent lots of years practicing it. If it makes other people inspired or happy, that's all I can ask for. And I'm glad to pass on tips to the young ones starting out in class, because hopefully it saves them some of the grind that I had to go through, being self taught.

I really enjoy your style here! Ballpoint pen has been my go-to sketching tool for a while and I keep coming back here to get some inspiration for shading.

Incredible! That was so awesome to watch happen!

Cool beans. Who would have known. Ballpoint pen drawings. Pretty good cross hatching. When I do hyperrealistic ballpoint pen drawings, the right kind of pen is key. Won't find old fashioned pens at art stores. The have know idea. They'll show you gel pens which I never use. I use hatching, cross hatching, scribbling, stippling and blending in my art. Layering is not achieved with gel pens that's for sure. Awesome video. Great job.😊
