Pen and Ink Architectural Drawings and Sketches

If you like Architectural Illustrations and Sketches, Paul Hill is the person to go to.  More than sketches for proposed buildings, they look like art pieces, you can just hang on the wall.  Having travelled a lot, since a young age, this is how Hill describes his journey, "Born in the UK...bred in Africa...and survived over a decade of life in the Austrian Alps!".  We have tried to bring together as many different aspects of his drawing portfolio, including interiors, exteriors and drawings before and after colouring.  All the drawings featured have been accomplished with Pen and Ink.

Inspired Subjects for Colored Ballpoint Pen Drawings

Artist Nicolas V Sanchez, lives and works in New York.  He paints, draws with charcoal and with ballpoint pens.  We are going to feature the last one in today's post.  Ink is an unforgiving medium, if you make a mistake, you can't erase it and it is very difficult to cover.  Sanchez is inspired to draw by a wide range of subjects, examples of each one of them, can be seen below.

Ballpoint Biro Pen Drawings

Kevin Lucbert born in Paris, now shares his time between the French capital and Berlin.  He creates a lot of his art using Ballpoint Biro Pens.  We love this kind of drawings, because pens are usually just used to write, but here it is, used in an artistic way.  It is totally unforgiving, if you make a mistake you can't erase it, organising your drawings and precision are essentials for this form of art.

Hyper-realistic Ballpoint Pen Animals

Hyper-realistic Ballpoint Pen Animals by Artist and illustrator Sarah Esteje aka (ABADIDABOU).  Incredible Hyper-realistic drawings executed with a Ballpoint Pen.  When asked how she could draw and shade without creating striations, she said that she applies very little pressure and builds up the layers bit by bit and that the process takes a lot of time and a lot of different sittings.   The Article also includes a video showing her at work.  We have included at the end of the article some other images apart from animals, as they were too good to pass up.

Ballpoint Pen Drawing that Tell a Story

We haven't managed to find much about this artist except that his name is In-jae Byun and that he is from South Korea.  His drawings go to prove that if you want to create art, all you need is a simple pen.  That said it is not as forgiving as a pencil, that you can erase if you make a mistake, the pen is permanent.  As we understand, these illustrations form part of a story book.  Enjoy...

Drawing with a Ballpoint Bic Pen

Parisian Illustrator Helena Hauss has a real passion for drawing, with her average work measuring 100cm x 70cm (39in X 27.5in).  The reason for the size is that, it allows her to really cram them with details.  Hauss tried different mediums but, was never able to get the results she was getting with her colored Bic Pens.  She has always used pens and in the past it was not looked as the proper artist's instrument, but in the past few years it has become the in thing, with more people experimenting and finding their style with the humble pen.
