A big greeting to everyone, today I join the art of drawing in the ballpoint pen technique, it is good to see that the community is still active and with its people, this time I want to share this work of art, where I draw in the ballpoint pen technique to a dear friend, her name is Jaquelin and she is currently living in Chile, she sent me this photograph on facebook, so that I could make her an art in pen, with all my pleasure I made her portrait, this technique is monochrome, we can perform works that have that artistic nuance, in this work we observe the soft nuances, lighting, depth and volume, highlighting with a dark and strong contrast to give it more vision and realism, for this special appointment use a brand pen (Bic), which has the particularity of giving strong and dark tones and also without much pressure you can obtain soft tones, thanks friends for your attention and success to all.

Drawing a friend
Step 1
I make the sketch with the Hb-2 graphite pencil, it is very clear and can be replaced by the ink of the ballpoint pen, without leaving important traces that could ruin the portrait-style drawing.
Step 2
This portrait is in an almost full profile position, we can see very dark tones and areas very clearly, there is a lot of contrast, this effect is positive if we have graphite pencils with dark tones such as (B-6) (B -9 ) the patterns of lights and shadows are very visible here, you also have to know how to locate the elements that make up the figure.
When obtaining the first clear layer of the drawing, I focus my attention on giving a new layer, this time darker, this will allow me to give the necessary contrast for this work, in the intermediate places of the face, I mix the different tones of the pen, to give that realistic look of lighting and contrasts.
Already in this step we have almost 80% of the drawing done work with the pen, I focus my attention to give darker tones to give the contrast, this I make it possible by pressing the pen towards the surface to obtain more ink, this is how The way I get darker tones, the contrast will give the appearance of volume, depth and realism.

As you practice to perfection, I can't stop progressing; every drawing that one makes, every study that one paints, is a step forward
