Challenge: How to Draw A Forest With a Cheap and Common Ballpoint Pen
Hello my Steemian friends!
I was given a challenge that said that I always seem to draw with sophisticated and expensive materials. And the challenge was to make a drawing of a realistic forest, with light and shadows, using only a cheap and common ballpoint pen.
I accepted the challenge, which was a lot of fun! This video shows the process.
I hope you enjoy it and please, do let me know if you think the challenge was met successfully. Thanks!
Best regards,
Leonardo

Thank you!
It is amazing how easy it seems when you scribble what seems to be just scratches on the paper but they eventually fall into nice and comprehensive art. I remember I also went through your tutorial of drawing a face starting from circle. I was a mess back then. And you have a blessed hand for drawing!
I remember @roninrelax who also uses ballpoint pen in drawing. He actually posted many of his works already. Here is one of those: https://steemit.com/drawing/@roninrelax/gone-with-the-wind-town-my-dream. Both of you guys are doing very good with your drawings!
Thank you so much for your comment. I´m glad you liked the tutorial. And thanks for introducing me to @roninrelax all the best, L
You're welcome.
I just thought you guys will be interested of talking about your common ground.
All the best to you too.
This is how I started my doodling practices by first imitating form and then shifting to a style where I just make do with what form comes out from imagination. It's cool to watch from start to finish and the way simple lines make something awesome as a whole.
Thank you for the comment. So glad you enjoyed it :)
Amaaaaaaaaaaazing!!!!!!!!
Imagine you were just using an ordinary pen anyone can get somewhere and use it as your medium. And yet you have proven yourself worthy of your talent. Yesssss! You have it dude! I bow down to your skills..
I did not imagine how beautiful it would turn out. You have outdone yourself. I might not have seen your other videos or drawings, but I know there are more beautiful artworks you have displayed here in the platform.
I wanna thank you for taking the time to accept the challenge. It just means that no matter what materials we used if we have the passion and commitmenr to draw something, it will turn out really good. Be it in expensive tools or not. You just proved that ART is not something for the rich people only. It is open for all who wants it, who claims to see things beyond. And think out of the box.
Thank you sir, i had fun watching!
Cheers!

It is amazing that such beautiful and complex drawing can be done with simple pen, you created beautiful texture with cross hatching, liked to watch the whole process and it is nice how you paid attention to the direction of light and shadows. Like the way you made the branches of the trees, absolutely enjoyable and it is really good tutorial. I can understand that is time consuming but you wanted to do details and as you mentioned yourself if one enjoying it then you never notice how long it took.
Thank you for your comment Stef! I´m glad you liked it :)
I like that laugh that you did when you said: Challenge accepted, lol.
You sound like a yoga teacher :) Even your music would be great for meditation :)
The challenge was absolutely accomplished. You did a great job. I like how you worked out the shapes of the trees and then you were darkening them leaving some lighter spots for shadows. I have also enjoyed how you made the ground. I didn't expect it to be so dark when you started painting it. But it's really cool.
You can draw pretty much with anything ;)
Thank you for your nice comment. So gald you liked the tutorial! :)
