Pen sketches..... Post em' if you got them!!

[JackSparrow]

When drawing with a ball point pen its easier to get out your ideas or is it just me? I don't know but I love drawing out ruff stuff useing ball point.

does enyone else find this to be the case.

for example below is a quick drawing of a future suite concept, and aside from some proportinal issues its a good start I think.

is working with grey scale felts kinda have the same fluid flow, I hope so cuz I've ordered some in well actually a whole set of prisma cool grey makers.
ummm well thats all for now any comments anybody?

....Hi JackSparrow,

I agree with you. I love sketching in biro/ball point pen. It's like pencil, you can control how light you press on the nib, and this makes for good shading. I'd attach a an example of mine, but I'm at work.. - and they've just taken my cpu away for repair! Oh shit....Well, when I can, I'll post summink...

Anyway i agree with your own crit (about the proportions) other than that...'is cool.
Once you get your grey felts, you'll work out the best way to use them..(I'd starting with light grey building up to dark...)

Keep at it mate!

[JackSparrow]

Thanx Molly, I love pens for ruffing out ideas, and ya it kinda is like useing a pencil but the funny thing is I can't sketch as well with my pencil as I do with my pen wierd or what? oh well !. Thanx for the tips on the felt makers, I'm pumped to get them.

Sparrow out. :beer:

[ChaosEidolon]

Totally agree with that! i love em. im a ballpoint junky. I have my brand even, Sanford Suregrip is my fav right now =)

With pen you arent constantly concerned with refining the image by erasing, so it loosens up your style alot and also makes you much more confident with your shapes. Kinda like running with ankle weights =P

[JackSparrow]

lol ya no kiding '' ankle weights '' I love it.
ya thats exatly what I find your not really concerned with eraseing stuff so your free to just draw and enjoy.

a few more pens I did a while back well about a month ago.

[siskol p]

yeah jack i actually draw with ballpoint A LOT. iv'e got a thread and theres some ballpoints on there, i can post some more as well...

[Kartoffel]

My ballpoint-pen-sketches always look better then those don with pencil.

Maybe it is because i know unconscious before I beginn, that every line will be unerasable.

[JackSparrow]

dns2k thanx, great pic to dude looks like he's saying '' ya, what '' , good stuff the attitude rocks.
siskol p, I'll have to check out your thread I love to see ball point sketches they have so much feeling to them with all the ruff lines that show how things were built, Its like behind the sceans stuff, ya know.

well I hope to see more. This thread has been great so far thanx for all the great responses everyone.:chug:

cartoonfox- that just plain kicks ass, and you say you just started using pen 0_0 wild, stick with it you rock at pen sketching.

Wynd- Don't worry about the anatomy, after all pen sketching is just to be loose get your ideas out and enjoy; and I don't really see to many anatomy issues with him anyway :).

krAtul- 0_0 holy crap dude, your style is smooth you have it all covered. I love the flow of your characters its like there froze doing somthing not just standing around, I think thats what I need to focus more on, Thanxs.

I agree with you guys. I loosen up a lot with a ballpoint. Somehow I don't get the same results with a pencil.

http://www.arkadyroytman.com/drop/penSK-01.jpg

Wow, the quality of work you guys can produce with pen is ASTOUNDING. Here's a page I did earlier today when waiting for some scans.

You'll have to excuse me, I'm new. I don't have a website to post all of my stuff on. These are NOT the ones I would have posted; however, these are the ONLY ones I have on the internet already.

I always draw in pen. Here's an example of what I do...

[dinfet]

looks good every one, now my turn.

here is one part of a comic page, I used ball point, sharpie, and a white pen, no pencil was used nor ruler as you maybe able to tell. I winged the hole thing didnt know where I was going doing a panel at a time, so I never finished.
http://shekinah.orcon.net.nz/images/eellweb1.jpg
the next is straight ball point, just a sketch of a character that I did at work on break.

[Mr. Personality]

Great stuff everyone!

Rubygenesis: I really like the way you wash your blue ballpoint stuff, Nice web site layout too!
