RE: I used to be a Ink Portrait Artist, but my life took an unexpected turn - Here's is my story...
I was using archival ink with a regular type ball point pen. I know that seems strange but i just got used to the flow of a ball point.. However there was always a lot of blotching it a ball point, so i had to wipe the tip every few strokes. I took my work to a scan and copy place, where they had the big big scanners.. and sometimes I would just photograph my drawing if i didnt get time to get it scanned.
Yes my eyes are still an issue.. I have drawn some new stuff lately like my wife's friend and a few dragon pictures for my wife.. but nothing great.. that and the comics I'm doing here on my blog.
I like using a ballpoint since I retired. It's not strange at all. I have a ream of some coated paper I used to use for pen and ink and it accepts a really nice line from ball point.
Anyway, would love to talk. Busy right now and just wanted to get a reply back to you.
Take care and keep it up. Hope your eyes keep improving!
