    Thank you for your videos @_mikeysart_. I have a question related to your equipment. Why do you use Bic “Round Stic” rather than “Crystal Originals”?

    • @_mikeysart_
      @_mikeysart_ Před 13 hodinami

      I found that Crystal Originals produces a finer line than Roundstic. Since I blend with only the pen, I like how soft the lines appear with the Roundstic.

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork and knowledge of how to do pen art. Using ink pens used to scare me A LOT, but seeing your CZcams videos made it less terrifying to try to use pens in art. Please keep sharing your incredible creations! We all appreciate it! 👍🤩🖊️ 🎨 Oh, quick question... Have you ever used archival ink pens using the pen techniques shown in your CZcams videos? If yes, are there any differences between ballpoint pens and archival pens? 🤔

There’s no substitute for hard work, and if someone is interested in doing what you’re doing this is what they need to hear. Rome wasn’t built in a day, blah blah blah. Keep up the good work, I appreciate it. Others will too, just keep at it.

    • @_mikeysart_

      I say instead of creating drawings on normal paper, practice the technique of of crosshatching on normal paper. Draw squares in a row and crosshatch inside of them from a lighter value to a darker value. Overtime, you’ll have more control with the pressure you apply. Don’t give up . You’ve come too far to give up now. You got this! I was in your shoes at one point in my life

    I’m just getting into drawing with ballpoint pen. Your videos are very helpful. 👍 One question… I’ve noticed that most ballpoint artists seem to prefer blue ink, whereas most other ink artists (fountain pen, dip pen, marker pen) mostly use black ink. I would have thought that black ink would give a more realistic look, especially when drawing portraits of people who have black skin. Is there any reason that yourself and so many other ballpoint pen artists seem to always reach for a blue pen ?

    • @_mikeysart_
      @_mikeysart_ Před 14 dny

      I chose to draw with blue ink because it gives my portraits a cool look. The blue ink makes the viewer feel calm. If I draw in black ink, I might as well draw in graphite or charcoal. I like for my portraits to stand out.
