Description My first Ballpoint Theater piece - The H-Hole Army Girl. H stands for Honesty, making you and Honest Hole.

From the BJ Shea Morning Experience on 99.9 KISW in Seattle. BJ and his morning radio crew have the H-Hole Army as their army of fans. I decided for my inspiration to draw a girl that would be similar to the radio station's normal KISW ROCK GIRLS and put her in an H-Hole Army Girl outfit.

Ballpoint Theater: Every Sunday I will be uploading new Ballpoint Pen sketches for Ballpoint Theater. These will be drawings that are straight from a pen with no pencil sketches or erasing. Just straight ink, Ballpoint Pen ink that is!

I need more practice with this medium. Ballpoint is an interesting challenge though. Need any ideas?

I like this, for some reason I haven't gotten proportions lined up on the first shot yet so my pen drawings get edited heavily.

Like Yoda says "Do or Do Not, there is no Try."

Don't worry about messing up on the first 20-50 drawings or so. Just do them for the sake of doing them. You'll find that with straight ink, your mind eventually knows that it can't mess up too much and eventually you just start picking up the right lines that feel comfortable to you. Or at least this worked for me.

I'm also a very big stickler on sketchy lines. I think they're too messy and I can't stand them. However, I've been trying to get over this, because I need to do a lot more sketching and designing before I get into final art.

I'll probably have a good stack of Ballpoint Theater drawings next week with a variety theme.

50? I may need more of this paper stuff then. I've done straight ink before though not as often. I think part of the reason isn't just the ability to change line but I also like the thin lines of a mechanical pencil too. Will have to sit down between digital projects to brainstorm out some ink though. I'd certainly like to be able to go more in the direction of this style. Sometimes it's just that blank page that makes me blank out what to draw.
