Accuracy of a Ballpoint Pen Drawing

Ballpoint pen drawings exploring different features of the human body.Algerian Self-Taught Artist Adel shows off a flawless competency in this field, by tackling different aspects of detailing.

I have grouped them on pairs: facial details, out of phase, hands, statues, and WIP eyes.

Adel adopts the stippling technique in most of the drawings, to give them that smooth gradation and transition between light and dark areas. It makes the details pop off of the page. As an example, have a look the two hands in that delicate touch. The veins and bones pushing up the skin, in such a subtle and natural way.

These drawings are peppered with details; have a close look and enjoy them.
