Amazing ball point pen sketches
Biro Art Gallery has an amazing collection of drawings which are created with nothing more than simple ball point pens. Amazing work from artists from around the world.

Kind of makes your lecture hall doodles look pathetic huh?

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.
