Getting To Know Who My Pens Are
When I started drawing last year, I picked up three black pens. I noticed a lot of people drawing with pens so I figured I might as well get some and eventually I’ll figure out how to use them. When I noticed them at the bottom of the Tupperware again, under the pencils, ‘again,’ I decided now is a good time to figure out how to use these things.
For this one I used - Uniball fine-tip. Uniball ball-point 207. Pilot ultra fine-point. A2 paper:
After
Before
Each of these three pens has a personality of its own. Each one is significantly different from the other two. The ball-point pen lays ink down real heavy and bold. The ultra-fine tip is a bleeder, ooh wee, that thing bleeds! I learned to be careful with that one, no line work at all with the ultra-fine tip, that one’s strictly for coloring. got it! Last but not least, the fine-tip, (non ultra) that’s the one I’ll be using for my thin lines. The only thing these three pens have in common is they’re equally unforgiving - I figured that out immediately!
I’m going to keep an eye out for some colored pens now, (red, green, blue, etc) I’d like to do a bunch of shapes again like this but in color. I had a good time with this one, these are the progress pictures:

Thank you @artzone!
ink is dope
Yes! You made it by again, I sure do appreciate it. Agreed, they’re dope.
Thanks a lot for dropping a line @carklevicci, I’m glad you liked this morning’s edition of ArtswOrk.
Love the detail in this drawing. Great work brotha👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Maybe just pick one color and sneak it into this picture. Might add a cool little touch.
Thanks a lot bro, I’m glad you like it! I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s seen many drawings like this with hair, trees, ‘something’ inked in shapes. They all look really cool to me so I figured what better way to learn how what these pens do?? Surprised me how much fun it is actually, looking forward to the next!
Thanks a lot for stopping by @brothersplatts, I appreciate it! Im looking forward to everyone’s #foodfightfriday again this week, that was fun, I’m thinking stuffed peppers maybe... twice baked... uh.. ‘got a couple more days.’
I can’t wait until we are able to hold some fun challenges and contests. I’ve got a little SBD in my account, and maybe we could get others to donate for a decent prize pool. @weirdheadaches and I have delegated SteemPower to the @foodfightfriday account so that the account’s votes would be worth at least a little something.
I will be discussing with @weirdheadaches about our first contest/challenge within the next week or so.
Delegating Steem power.. By doing so, that’s how I can have my account upvote a specified percentage to the account/accounts I want? Does it work on percentage? Does it work only when they ‘post’ not reply or comment? Thank you.
Basically by delegating SP you are letting the other account borrow it until you want it back. The person delegating the SP doesn’t get any kick backs it just helps that account out. Like I am goin to delegate a little bit to @steemflagrewards it’s a great cause to help rid the community of vote farming, spam comments, tag abuse, plagiarism.... they help you if you get attacked by one of these scammers for flagging their trash.
Check this out?!?
Vote farming at its finest. Then check the comments.

Man ya’all are still pretty advanced for me. “I’m tryin to catch up guys!” I really am not sure how SP and stuff even works. Other than more power when upvoting. See what I mean?? I’m WAY behind.
Dude this is my very first ever social networking account, I’ve never done any of this stuff. Not that it justifies me being such a nerd and not knowing the in’s and out’s of this platform but ya.. I’ll get it.
This is far more than just a social media and m my mind. I had no SM for years until I discovered steemit.
It’s way more fun than Facebook and then others guaranteed.

Thank you @slothicorn. You rock! Thank you for the Resteem, I’m honored.
Ah, dude, I love my pens. Personal favorite for everyday use is the Uni-Ball Jetstream. I have some spiffy ones but I don't carry them. I have lost some very favorable pens at work or in public.

Anyway, really nice post, I love reading about pens and this general review was great, very true. Love the hair, too! Really nice art to demonstrate the inks.
Thanks a lot man, I’m glad you like it! I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought, I think I’ll do another one actually and record it because it’s non stop drawing.. I’m thinking a short(er) clip like this pen work will be easier to learn the video editing with. Maybe not..
You about ready to book me up with that Splice video?
Thanks a lot for stopping by @theruggle! Your Spaceship Poetry this morning is dope!
Edit: Man I’m sorry I didn’t give you a full upvote, that was an accident.
Wow, the detail.... I bet that kept you out of mischife for hours!
I could look all day for a pen in my house, search every drawer, cupboard, nook and cranny, and not be able to find one. Once I even bought a box of 30 Bic ball points. Not for any special reason, I just find them useful while I'm working. I think that box lasted about a week and a half.
After some careful observation I figured out where they disappear to. It's the kids... Taking them to school of all places.
Oh ya dude, I spent quite a bit of time on it. I didn’t exactly time myself but I bet I had those pens in my hand for 5 hours.
The nerve of them! 1 pen = the house and the other 29 will be reserved for school.
Thanks a lot for stopping by @sivehead, I’m glad you appreciate the ink work! It was a lot more fun than I though, we can expect more pieces like this.
Oh wow that's excellent brother ! I would even see it as a tattoo!
Man it was a lot more fun than I thought too. I just wanted to familiarize myself with the pens, surprise, drawing shapes is a lot of fun!
Thank you @edprivat! Good morning from Ca!
Edit: hey dude how did you set yourself up to auto upvote like that? I would like to set myself up to hit your Dsound posts since I can’t listen to them anyway. Thank you!!
Yes ! I use Steemauto , there's others too but I think it's quite efficient :)
No worry buddy I'm gonna have a rerun of old things until i get better!
