Medium: the unsung drawing hero... Ball Point Pen

Who hasn't doodled something with a handy ball-point pen?


Anytime I have a slip of paper or napkin and I feel like drawing, there's a ball-point pen in someone's purse, on the counter, anywhere. They're accessible, and they're awesome! The more common, bought in large quantities, kind of pens are really the best, too.

I've drawn dozens of pictures with just a ball-point pen and no sketching. You can make a hundred different textures with them, neat scribbles, nice hatching. ^_^ They're uber-fun and easy to find.
