Because of this video I drew my first pen drawing! My family loved it! Thank you !!
This was therapeutic to watch, almost like meditating, thank you
Thank you for this video, it's really hard to see the technique when watching speed-up videos, but yours is perfect, and your drawing too !
Wow, it looks almost like a photo. Amazing work :)
Oh My God... AMAZING. I've just started drawing with pen, and the effects that we can create using pen are amazing. This video was very helpfull and inspiring. Good job!!
this must be so time consuming, I admire your patience as much as your artwork
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Your videos taught me how to use ball pens 5 years ago, now I’m really good at it ❤️❤️
Okay, I am good at art, but this?!?! No way! You should be so proud of yourself, I mean your skills are unmatched!
Just a little tip for you.
When using the ruler to draw the line around the edge, if your using an ink pen of any kind, turn the ruler over and use that side.
The reason being is that you will notice it has slopped edges.
Those edges are there so that when you draw an ink line, the ink doesn't touch the ruler edge and bleed on the paper or cause other marks.
Some great drawing.
I love drawing with pen, i love not only how it looks when finished but the feel of it on paper.
This is beautiful and truly a work of art
Oh my god. This is beautiful.
wow..all that with a pen..looks amazing..so realistic looking

Absolutely amazing! I've been working with ballpoint pen a lot, my work definitely can not compare to yours though. Beautiful.
Thanks you Natalie!
Its wonderful, mesmerizing, mind blowing ballpen art !!! How do you that ???
Gee,your good mate!Lovely work.My friend had a picture 30years ago just like this.I couldnt work out how it was done.
i LOVE ball point....
very tricky...takes good hands.
Kandiman797979 Your damn right dude!
wow fantastic just wondering can it be earased ! and what type of paper suits this type of drawing
Applause!!!
Muito bom. Qual papel você usa?
You are perfection Gareth. Thanks a bunch for uploading this vid.
I have done some sketches with pencil. And I have been searching youtube to understand how to get the smooth skin finish from a ballpoint pen. This is first vid where I could get some hang of it - so just like when done using a pencil, we need to select a pen with broad ball tip and shade the area using the hatching steps but very very light hand.... My problem with using a pen is that shading an area starts showing lines. I don't have this trouble when shading with a pencil.
+Arnav Bhatnagar Maybe try and not bare down hard on the paper, almost like brush strokes, the pen should only just touch the paper.
What type of paper do you normally use to do portraits with the pen?
absolument magnifique dessin! combient de temps a-t-il pris?
Do u use the circling technique for the smooth feel.
WHAT PAPER ARE YOU USING?
Do you have a vid out showing ball point on illustration board and it's challenges?
I really admire your work. Keep uploading videos, it's my dream to become as talented as you! :)
Thank you very much, I am working on one at the moment!
Hey what kind of paper are you using in this video?
can you use the same technique on any paper?
Love the art ! Subscribed ! Songs name ?
How do u create the different surfaces skin ... Leather etc
Hey sorry can you please tell me what is the name and kind of this drawing paper ur using???
Hello Gareth, Can you tell me which Bic pen did you use on this one? Also, can you tell me what is the best way to erase it?
what ballpoint brand is that cuz it looks so famillar i just dont remember the name
I am very satisfied by your Art! One question, even though you're drawing and shading with a ballpoint pen, does it leave any dark ink points? I am starting to draw in pen and I just don't want to mess up on my artwork
No, not with enough practice. Shade lightly and use good quality paper
Like it
Stunishing
How do get so faint color so smoothly?If I try to do it the pen won't either do anything or it will do scratchy surface.
What brand paper is that? Thank you :)
what do you the type pen
Sir can we use any ballpen?
I'm still new with drawing with ballpoint pens , and this really helped me a lot ! Do you have any tips for drawing fur? (With ballpoint pens)
Check out my new vid, how to shade in ballpoint pen. I would use the same technique with light pressure.
This not a "How to draw" but its so good!
Thanks! I think it gives a great insight into my personal technique for drawing in biro though in comparison to many other timelapse videos. Will be doing something more lesson orientated over the summer.
Hi!
Nice drawing, ,what kind of Ballpoint pen is this Yellow pen(what Brand) if you can share with us.
Thanks !
what pen use?
Amazing! I would have enjoyed watching this so much more had the FLASH SALE box not been in the center of the video the entire video! Big sigh! Oh well, still amazing workmanship. Thank you for sharing your talent.
So light n smooth shading. Which pen did u used?
Just a regular BIC
what is the name of the music?
What's the size of the ballpoint? Is it 0.5?
Which pen is it???
Hey Gareth. Big fan of your work. I have a technical question. Seeing as ballpoint pen ink isn't archival, do you use a fixative spray? If so which one. I just did an experiment on bic biro as I have sold a couple of pieces and the spray totally ruined the ink (luckily I didn't spray the actual pieces, I tried on a piece of scrap paper first... Phew!!) Thanks in advance. D :-)
David Philips Hey David, that is a great question. Unfortunately it is not archival no. You can only preserve it as best as you can. Find UV filtering glass and keep it out of direct sunlight. Also, try not to touch the paper, the oils in your hand turn the ink yellow. I've had that a lot in the past. I doubt there is a spray you can use.
Its just going to be a part of the art. If looked after it will last many many years, if not, it will fade and discolour. Just part of the course with ballpoint pen.
GarethEdwardsArt If you can develop archival ballpoint pen ink, you will probably make a fortune!
Amazing.. But How the heck do you adjust the lightness and darkness of the shadings? Impressive!
Pressure
Can i ask what type of paper do you use? Or what would you recommend
spermlet008 I used Fabriano here. I also like to use schollershammer
What is the best option for filling up large areas with black color ?
You could buy a jar of ink and use a brush.
Beautiful work can I find a reference for this thank you
What sort of reference do you need?
Hi, your video was great and it really helped me understand the technique. I have to sketch an elephant for a project and it has to be ball-point. Any tips? x
Thanks for watching, I guess with something like that I would make sure to start in pencil and mark out all the creases and crevices. Start lightly and make sure you don't leave any white spaces.Other that that, take your time, patience is key!
Okay, thank you!
question: what fine of ballpen are you using for the skin tone?
Bic Fine, its available in most countries
what brands of bollpen do you use in this? thank you :)
bic
Hi there, quick Question, do you shade with using your risk or hand or shoulder or elbow? I hope you can answer back thank you.
None, I shade with the pen by using very fine lines next to each other.
GarethEdwardsArt oh okay. How long does it take you to do a portrait?
I watched your video on shading
You said using parallel lines. My question is does it matter how long the lines are or the line supposed to be small?
Thanks for the help. I hope you answer back.
Thanks for watching. Yes that is correct, for my style anyway.
My lines are quite short, maybe about 1cm on average, but for larger areas of shading they can be longer, and fine details, obviously smaller. But remember to curve the lines slightly to follow the contours of the skin.
Okay yourwelcome. Your videos are pretty interesting. I only had one last question. Does it matter what way the lines go.
Like vertical or horizontal, and diagonal? Like what angle they go if that make sense.
Thank for the help. I hope to here from you.
GarethEdwardsArt Hi again what type of bic pens do you use? If I may ask? I hope to here from you.
Thanks for the help.
can u pls do a full tutorial! i admire ur work this is really helpful !
Nikki Flores I will do my best on my next adventure!
Zack Solis I would suggest not, it needs to be nice and smooth, but not glossy, and thick enough to absorb the pressure of the pen without the paper warping.
how do you belnd the strokes ??
with tissue or a pie of cloth .... ?? :D
Lots of small strokes with the biro close together.
sir.please tell me which pen u r using....????
BIC ballpoint FINE
What kind of paper do u use? Please someone?
Yeyo Sev Here I used Fabriano 4 Lisicia
Shading Techniques!! - Art Vlog #3
Not available.
did you use 0.5 nib or 0.7 nib?
Euka Chan the pen is a bic fine 0.7
what kind of paper do you use sir?
+jhef3 Bars Fabriano Liscia 4 for this one
tnx sir zuper amazing
Missleading ass title.! Should say "WATCH ME draw with a ballpoint pen"...and not "HOW TO draw with a ballpoint pen"..
well it depends how you view it you can see him draw or you can pay attention and see his technique the way he moves the pen how much pressure he puts and over all detail
That was what I hoped for! I think you can take something away from it. Plenty of other videos on my channel too for people to study, one more detailed on shading.
+GarethEdwardsArt love your videos they helped my drawing skills by so much keep up the good work
U said"u can watch him draw or watch/learn his tecnique" umm yea i thnk i know that.!! n thats WHY whn i saw title i couldnt wait cuz im havin trouble shading,so i WAS expectn him to talk or walk us"LowerLevel shaders" through it not watch him shade all over n hear music,thats great for yall but u not thnkn about ppl like me thats having trouble shading.!
If you want to email me feel free, garethedwardsart@gmail.com, ask me any questions you have and I'll try and help you.
what is your pen using?
Bic
I just did my first ball point pen portrait and it was VERY aggravating. The pen started cutting out half way through and I couldn't draw light lines. Is it cause of oil that was on my fingers smearing on the page? That's my only conclusion cause the pen would work fine on another piece of paper.
When I do ball point pen, when the pen starts to act up I scribble on a scrap piece of paper and do some practice shading. When the pen goes back to normal I go back to my drawing
+C me 20 I have a new video just uploaded that might answer your question. Sorry for the late reply.
+Shyanne Whisner Great answer!
What brand pens?
I think those are Bic pens :)
+Nadine Weinmüller Yes they are
What pens are those
