Description

When people think of drawing portraits, they usually think of pencils, but did you know that a simple pen can generate gorgeous effects? In this ballpoint pen art video course, we will break the entire process down.Drawing is not a talent. It's a skill. Some people learn faster than others, but everyone can learn it.Learn how to draw realistic portraits with ballpoint pens! In this video course, we spend 40 lessons on how to draw beautiful faces with ballpoints. You will be able to follow along during the whole process of me analyzing the reference image, creating an outline, and filling in the shadows and highlight in the faces of 2 portraits: One with blue pens, the other with black pens.Aside from that, you will learn a few theoretical explanations about choosing the right image, the right contrast or composition for your reference photo, as well as the basics of creating the illusion of texture. One lesson is all about seeing the difference between what people call "hyper realism" and regular realism, and pros and cons to both methods. I challenge you to make up your mind what you like most and why.On top of all this, you might laugh because of the occasional humorist approach to art dilemmas proposed by a few quirky teachers from different countries who don't always agree with each other on certain topics. Oh, and those three characters are definitely not all me. I mean, how can someone possibly be three different persons? Exactly.Did that spark your curiosity yet? Yes? Then get the course!It didn't? Fine, then move along. Buy one of my other courses. Hehe…
