Quick ballpoint pen sketch on paper. I have made hundreds of small ballpoint pen sketches like that. I'll scan some more shortly. View some other works here and here. Contact me if you want to buy some original illustrations (info@benheine.com)
LOL, a quick sketch on my left hand (with ballpoint pen) and a photo with a soft flash in a mirror. I might develop the idea of drawing directly on the palm of my hand instead of using pieces of paper. That was a bit tricky because I had to make the drawing upside down...

This is a selection of my older traditional drawings made with ballpoint pens (not pencils) on large paper. I just scanned the final drawings and colored them digitally... I used this simple cross hatching technique several years back, it gives some interesting effects, the only thing is that it's harder to make corrections when you make mistakes... I have now switched to 100% digital. I still make full drawings and paintings on paper/canvas from time to time but I rather prefer to work with real brushes then. :)
