(Apart from the technical aspects)
Earlier I used to sketch with pencils only and then I'm now slowly shifting to pens. The one thing that i have felt is- when you start sketching with pen, you become more conscious of the strokes that you put on the paper and commit fewer silly mistakes too.

As an artist I personally love sketching and doodling in ballpoint pen, it's very freeing. But sadly some companies don't get that or understand it.

My favorite thing about ballpoint pens is it's basically a permanent pencil you can do nice dark lines and soft shades they are my all time favorite to draw with

It’s going to be a while before I have the confidence to draw with pens. But when I do feel good about drawing with pens, this video will be very helpful. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

I need a tutorial for cast shadows with sun behind me. Such as, standing in desert early morn looking west. Everything so far is with looking AT the sun. I don't think there would be vanishing points for the sun. Help me out, I'm a 80 y.o. oil painter with this need real soon!

Ballpoint pens can also be used by gerbils too.

Sir, tell me how you exceeded your imagination to draw these robots 😅. I never drew them before, and I cant think of them.

I like to spot color with Copic markers and find that ballpoint pen ink bleeds. I prefer fine liners because of this.
