"RE: Ball Point Pen Art"
Posted by jesus on 17-Nov-05 at 04:08 PM
>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,
>
