hello folks!
i'm bret, and i'm new here to trisphee.
being someone who loves to draw, naturally the first place i came to be sociable was this forum!

i would love to get some feedback on my current work in progress;
i'm getting back into using ballpoint pen again. :]
[x]

Ooh~ that has potential ^^

hehe thanks.
i want to darken up the shading on the nearly completed portion, maybe add a little more detail before moving on to the second sylph. ^^

Oh heyy another ballpoint pen enthusiast 8D
I love the design there, very interesting! Are they some sort of fairy?
I like the shading beneath the bust-line as well, I think that's my favorite part.
(imma stalkin' joooo... lol nah this is one of my home forums. promise :'D)

lulz, it's all good, even if you were stalking me i don't think i'd mind. XD

yes their supposed me be kind of like farirs/sylphs-
elemental faye that take on the persona of plants or flowers.

and yesss, i love ballpoint!
so much more control than most inking pens.

aw pshaw *grins* y'flatter me

I have some beautiful Micron pens but the trouble with those seems to be my paper choice xD if you're not using a really expensive smooth paper they catch and bleed really easily ): plus my hand shakes a bit anymore when I draw so something so fine needs more precision than I can give it. Which is a shame u3u; makes inking hard for a wannabe comic artist fufu

but er anyway xD tangent.. Bic! the feathery shading you can get is my favorite part :V
Those are so cool tho, do you have other designs, like other types of flowers and plants?

i have a micron that i use for linework when i color pieces.
i still have quite a few copics, but have had to replace most that i have with prisma colors.
i know what you mean about the hand shaking!
and sometimes my hands just cramp up so bad.
it takes me ages to draw stuff anymore it seems. =.='

yes i love that about bics!
i have a sketch one of a sapling/root type thing that i've yet to scan,
and have done "flower child" type doodles before and things,
but these are fairly new for me,
as well as this style.

very nice are they fairies? I like fairies! And drawing with ballpoint pen is fun!

thank you!
and yes their something along those lines ^^

ballpoint is a blast, from doodling to more serious stuff, i love it. <3

I heard someone say "ballpoint pen"~

espy: pfft yes, ballpoiunt ftw! :'D

forsaken: my you flatter me so!
as for shading i start out rather light and try to keep a somwhat feathered texture to the strokes, then darken and add more exact lines as i progress.

my other one i'm undecided as to what ink color to do.
since it's going to have a more wintry feel i've considered doing the other in black, but i may choose to stick with the blue.

oh that would be so pretty!
i'd have to find the color though, i'm currently just limited to black and blue ink for my ballpoints, and any of my other inking pens i don't have the same control with, i end up having to do cross hatching instead.

i really should go on the prowl for more colors.

thanks for letting me know!!!
pilot makes good ens, i knew they carried some different colors but i didn't know they had a bunch-
and sharpie makes ball point pens now!? that knowledge has potentially made this the best day of my life. `(>-<)'
