World Art - by Craig Hill



Incredible photorealistic portraits done with a Bic pen

Ballpoint pen art
The above picture looks like a photo, doesn't it?

Well, it's not - it's a huge drawing done by Juan Francisco Casas, who does his drawings with nothing more than a Bic pen.

A ballpoint pen. A blue one.

To be honest, he claims that he uses around 14 pens for one picture, but that's not the point. His drawings are incredible, photorealistic portraits of women showing skin and cleavage... all done with a pen.

Ballpoint pen art from the Daily Mail!

From the article:

""I also wanted to create it with something that everyone has - a Biro. I don't think it has ever been done before.

"For me it's not that different from painting. I was trying to show that it doesn't matter what material you use, it's what you do with it." "

I suppose this proves that there's no excuses... I've often put off sketching because I didn't have the right kind of paper, or the right carbon. Casas manages to do it with a household instrument, making me look like all talk.

WOW that is amazing! I don't know how he can do that! Now I'm going to have to try and draw something with a pen.
