Ballpoint Pen gives these realistic portraits a subtlety of tones, that is a pleasure to admire.
Mohamed Kamal delights with both his finished drawings and his WIPs. With the latter, not only can you see the process in mid flow, but also proof that this was genuinely done by hand.
Even though this medium gives the skin a lovely soft coloring, I have included examples where more expressive details translate just as well. Showing emotions and expressions just as intensely, as any other form of art.
Ps. I gave the images some titles.

Pen work is really facinating because you are limited to one tool only!
ReplyDeleteAnd erasing is not really an option. As you I really admire this form of art.

Have a great Sunday. 🌿️🌺️🌿️

This proves once again that it's not the tools but the artist who is responsible for great pieces of work. I'm amazed
ReplyDeleteI think you are absolutely right. I have seen an artist draw a realistic portrait using an Ikea pencil.
