It is very interesting, somehow like pencil, in which we can make very soft traces and very strong traces. And it's ink, which I like. And an unexpensive BIC does the job.

That sketchbook spread just touches my heart! I really love watching other people doing portrature, hyperrealism and use many mediums, BUT what I like drawing and painting are flowers( and very rarely landscapes). I use most commonly watercolor and othervice just simple pencils. When I feel pressure from social media to paint some other things, it sometimes makes me feel like I´m some kind of mechanical alien. It just doesn´t make me feel good like art´s supposed to be. So : I love art in all forms, but I do what I like is best for me!

It is great watching how you slowly build and bounce around as you finish each face. I always tend to hyper focus on one aspect of the face rather then just relaxing and and letting myself just flow with were my eyes and hands take me. It has been really nice to see how others draw and complete their art, slow and steady wins the race. Also it helped me recall what you said in a prior video. You mentioned it took DaVinci 4 years to paint the Mona Lisa and in my head I always assumed art needed to be completed right then and there. I have learned so much over the recent years and I am finally glad that it is all coming together and clicking for me now. Thank you again for your time in sharing your knowledge. It has helped me tremendously in more ways then you know. Art is so healing. Thank you!!!

That's some very clean and fun line work. Love your style hovering right between realism and caricature. I teach in a secondry, and in between lessons or during quiet moments, I always sketch out random heads/faces with a biro. Perhaps 3-4 a week. The kids now take them from me and cut them out and they made a wall in one of the English classrooms called "Sir's Drawings". It's getting pretty full now! But I'm always trying to inspire the creative ones who draw!

@@annamarielewis7078 No I thought about it many years ago but the idea of sitting, with purpose, at my desk after work and filming myself drawing doesn't appeal to me. I often hang out in the Art rooms at school during my free periods, and always join in or walk around giving advice and demonstrations. The old Art teacher is glad of it. But with my sketching and drawing, it's just something I do these days. I can't stop doing it, because thats just who I am, but it's spur of the moment for me - very different to when I was a student and had to actively plan a drawing, from conception to final piece etc! I'm glad those days are over. Now I just do it for fun and relaxation and keeping my hand in. I teach English and History, not Art. But I'm lucky to have a talent for drawing and spent lots of years practicing it. If it makes other people inspired or happy, that's all I can ask for. And I'm glad to pass on tips to the young ones starting out in class, because hopefully it saves them some of the grind that I had to go through, being self taught.

Layering is not achieved with gel pens that's for sure. Awesome video. Great job.😊
