Pen Portrait Drawing Series #003 - Using Cross To Shade
I am used to shading with diagonal strokes but I challenged myself to use the small cross signs to shade (create forms). It was very tough and time-wasting but I persisted.
My hand wasn't flowing well which caused my fingers and wrist to start itching me. I had to stop at some point to stretch my finger's hand before resuming the drawing again.
At the very end, I was the one who smiled last.
Steps
By making 7 horizontal lines, the drawing has begun. These lines served as a guide to where the features of his face will be placed.
Here I focused on the eyes, nose, and mouth using those line. Every form was created with a combination of several strokes in the form of a cross.
As I progressed, my hand got accustomed to it. I calmed down to finish it off.

Thank you for stopping by and supporting my art.

Oh wow....ballpoint pen, you can not erase...! You better succeed at first time 😃
Great portrait ^_^
That is truth. You can't erase! I am always careful not to make any mistake even though I draw like I'm using pencil. Whenever I make a mistake, I use it as a design.
