>BallPoint Pen lines: > >1. tips: strongest pen tips in history plus has >the >largest ink reserve of any pen system. > >a. extra-fine: I have some drawings completed >with the extra-fine tip that went out of >production in 1981-82 and came in black or blue. >The extra-fine ballpoint pen tip is the sharpest >camera ready line in art history. > >b. fine: Today, a ballpoint pen's fine tip size >produces the sharpest camera ready line in our >art world. > >c. regular: The regular tip is also called a >medium. This tip can produce a half tone plus a >solid long flowing line. The line can be dark, >long flowing and produce a reflection if really >piled on. The medium is good for making dark >areas and will certainly saturate a paper with >ink. > >d. bold: The bold ballpoint pen tip is another >history making tip. The bold ballpoint pen tip >and ink supply produces a full tone long flowing >line as never before. Needless to say its the >best ballpoint tip for coloring in dark areas. >It also delivers more ink than any other tips >therefore the refection is greater. > >2. half tone lines: The ballpoint pen is the >only pen system in history capable of producing >a half tone line with a full tone ink. Lifting >up on a pen produces a half tone and pushing >down or adding pressure makes a full tone. The >half tone almost never reflects or shines as >thinker ink does. A half tone line is great for >starting a drawing, shaping, forming or >polishing up a drawing like now others! The >ballpoint pens half tones are the subtlest in >drawing or art history. > >a. extra-fine, fine: These two tip sizes are the >best for polishing a drawing or doing other >sensitive areas. > >3. bold lines: A ballpoint pen has a tremendous >ink supply plus a remarkable long flowing line. >A ballpoint produces the quickest long flowing >line in art history. That quick or bold long >flowing line certainly is best for capturing >nature or motion in life. Its much easier for me >to draw people or nature in motion with a fast >moving tool or instrument. > >Doing outdoor drawings or impressionism this >instrument works perfect. A bold long flowing >line produces life, a refreshing or colorful >drawing and some very special other mediums just >can’t do. Many artists on the Internet draw from >a photo. Sharp or slow moving lines make up >those works and certainly don’t deliver what a >dark bold line does. > >a. bold, regular: The bold and regular (medium) >tips are best for doing full tone lines. A bold >or regular tip can produce a half tone line yet >thinner points work better. These two tips >deliver the most ink therefore works best with >darkening or filling in areas. They make the >best blacks or dark colors than all other pens. > >A bold tip delivers a colored full tone line or >flow no others pen systems can produce. That >wonderful bold flowing line is a historical >event. Its a flow never seen before in pen’s >four thousand plus years of history. A ballpoint >pen sells by the billion because of that nice >flowing line. > >4. black & white: The ballpoint pen first >arrived in black. Blue was the second ink then I >think red came along. Black and blue were for >writing and red for accounting. I used pencils >for five years before a ballpoint. I learned >what black and white was all about plus how to >draw with a pencil. I however went to a >ballpoint pen ink for quicker, cleaner and >darker lines. A stacked black ink will shine and >most likely out last all colored inks. > >5. multi-colored: The ballpoint pen delivers a >full or half tone colored line without changing >pens or inks. I can stack colors to produce the >richest pen & ink drawings in history. A >ballpoint puts a darker, richer or more vibrant >color on a page than all other pen systems. My >luscious colors far exceed a tech or dip pen ink >or drawings. Those wonderful colors bring a new >life to the pen & ink art movement. They also >speck well of the ballpoint pen art movements! > >6. mono: (one color) A mono colored ballpoint >pen drawing is one color. I did more red >drawings than any other ink color. I really >loved doing gold ink drawings. Blue and green >are two more mono colors used in the past. I >need to do a mono colored drawing with each >color I have. We’re recording ballpoint pen art >history and every new area we can represent will >build our art movements historical base. > >7. blotches: Most ballpoint pens produce small >blotches of ink on the top a pen’s tip when >drawing quickly. Fast action with a bold tip >will produce that ink build up quickest. When I >work quickly or outside blotches simply add >color, character and style to my drawings. >Pilling on lines and color is the name of that >game. Boldness and color is the more important >with or without any blotches than details or >refinements. > >8. reflection: Oil base inks simply produce a >reflection, shine, sheen or burn out spot on >negatives. Remember oil paintings are the king >of mediums and shine like an oil painting. Some >ballpoint pen inks dry flat while others shine. >This might show up when scanning or using a >flash camera. Your light source will determine >if there is a going to be a shine. > >If the ink reflects a scanner light or flash >bulb its call a burn out. Other mediums can warp >a paper or reflect a flash bulb or light. Each >medium has its advantages or place in history as >does the ballpoint. > >9. by products: When a drawing is completed >prints, books, limited editions, posters, post >cards or other items can be produced from such a >work. The incomes of each by product is your >royalties and that helps increase your originals >prices. > >This should pretty well explain such matters. > >Thank You, > >Jerry Stith > >
