Amazing ball point pen sketches

[...] Phillip Blackman at Biro-Art.com has some absolutely amazing ink drawings of various animated characters. Some of the drawings are very comical and some are downright scary, but Blackman does an excellent job of capturing raw emotion in each one. My favorite is the rendition of the jack o’lantern, which is pretty much how I would feel too, if my head was on fire, but the mentally deranged chicken came in a close second. UNEASYsilence, who tipped me off to the site, seems to like the turtle. [...]

Don’t spoil the magic ;)

Any colour was added later in photoshop, but the drawings themselves are all done with biros.

Also, they’re all by the same guy, not “artists from around the world”.

Not just colour. Look at the clouds behind the tutrle.

Still, very well done.

These are the most fascinating art sketches I’ve seen. Such creativity with simple tools..

My “[...] from around the world” statement was made as a shoutout to any other artists who are able to work a little magic with a ball point pen. Notice the question posed after the statement?

Aaaaah, my favorite medium. It’s amazing how versitile a simple Bic crystal is. When I’m not using my Wacom tablet, there’s nothing I’d rather use.
