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:

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:
