[@CaptainBucky]

You asked for opinions so here’s a couple of tips for ballpoint portraiture realism that I’ve learnt as a freelance portrait artist using only ballpoints (I have been doing this for over 5 years now): try to avoid hard outlines, particularly for features other than eyes/eyelids, nostrils and eyebrow hairs; your best friend for realism is fine cross hatching and layering and alternating the directions of this; start off with a light foundation and build upwards because pen cannot be undone, this also creates a softness that allows you to blend easily between shade and highlights; to avoid unwanted clumps of ink, keep a scrap piece of paper or even regular tissue and roll off your pen after each time you take your hand away from the page for more than a couple of seconds; this prevents the ink gathering at the ball and producing a splodge (for want of a better word) when you touch the pen down again, this is particularly important for when you’re working on highlights and lighter areas and also hair. If you’ve read all of this, I hope it’s useful to you 😄 have a nice day!

[@carolmonteiro7041]

thank you for the tip

[@ricmics9712]

Thank you for this Tip, this is very helpful for Me.

[@mikecarlton4051]

Serious question, how long does one of these drawings take for your ball point portraits? Is there anywhere online you can recommend to be able to learn this style of drawing?

[@CaptainBucky]

Michael Carlton My portraits can take anywhere up to 4 weeks to complete because of their size, for me this also depends on the hair length/style/type, skin (as darker skin colours take more layers to build up) and also any clothing/accessories that are being worn. I would recommend just having a look around KZbin and observe the techniques of artists, there are also many good ballpoint artists on Instagram (@/oscarukonu and @/samiadagher are amazing examples to observe) 😄👍

[@fish_butcher2255]

also carefully using slightly damped cottonswap with fine eaven crosshatching you can get beautyful blending and smoother look! My self i use really hard pencil to sctech and not do any line work with ballpoint pen, just hard shadows where its needed. Patience and layering is the key ; )

[@corriereagan9578]

The hardest thing about capturing realism, especially for someone who is mostly an illustrator, is the tendency to concentrate too much on the edges of the subjects. In reality, nothing has a distinct edge, especially a biological/organic structure. Rather, they curve away from or towards the viewer, and are never a hard edge with as much contrast as we have an inclination to draw them with. This is hard to capture in a realistic way with many mediums.

[@Mirjamvm]

Very true

[@user-oi2ef1fc9o]

This is why i'm better at digital art than traditional.

[@lvbboi9]

Yes, there are no outlines IRL

[@asimian8500]

The edges we see are a byproduct of the image processing our brains perform to identify objects from the background. It's a neat little trick...algorithm inside of our brains. From an optical perspective, our eyes have a focal length of about 50mm with optical distortions. Our brains perform error correction and processing to fix this. We also have two eyes which are actually too close to create real stereoscopic view, but our brains use the ever slight differences and processing to create our binocular view. I could go on and on, but the key to realistic art on a 2D surface is to fool our brains into believing it has 3D depth and it isn't a flat image. Of course, in some cases you want a flat image in the case of illustration.

[@srog5098]

jazza: draws both of the guys eyes well every other artist: *wait, that's illegal*

[@jonarbuckle778]

I'm gonna be that guy and say while the left eye is fine, the right eye isn't positioned correctly. I instantly noticed this because the eyes in a portrait are one of the most important features you have to get right, because more often than not that's where most peoples eyes go to first. That's not to say it isn't a good portrait, since it is amazing that this was done with a ballpoint pen, but there is room for improvement.

[@nonameaccount7773]

the right eye is drooped down a bit, which is not... really... okay, at all, the eyes are the things that you need to get right, theyre the first things you look at on a portrait, eyes are something that you need to get down pat, otherwise the drawing won't look right, i do this weird thing where i use a ruler to get eye size and spacing right, but it works, if you dont wanna do that it's fine, there are many ways to make sure your eyes look symmetrical and detailed, so please use them, otherwise its gonna muck up your work

Cool story: when I went to school we had to do an ink-drawing of a painting for homework. I didn't know she meant for us to use actual ink and a brush, but because we didn't have it, I used a ball pen instead, because it's technically also ink and I knew they couldn't give me a bad grade for it. When I turned it in, the teacher, who was like a down-to-earth artist type, praised my creative take on the assignment and I honestly still feel proud about it.

[@MTGeomancer]

For anyone curious, at about 12:18 Jazza says that the pens don't give any gradient or shading that's actually untrue. Ballpoint pens do have pressure sensitivity and ability to give light vs dark lines similar to pencils. It isn't as fine as you can get with pencils, especially if you have various hardnesses of pencil, but it's far from zero. Just google photo realistic ballpoint drawings, you'll come up with hundreds of examples. One of the keys is working very large, because when you back away and view it at a "normal" size, your eyes do a natural blending. It's similar to billboard signs if you ever get a chance to view them up close, they are not smooth solid images.

Jazza : I can't do real realism but if I hide my mistakes with a ball point pen

[@meganambrose2448]

Is no one going to talk about how jazza’s comment was commented 3 hours ago

[@ariram407]

[@reichi4042]

[@Karol-ls4wx]

Instert illuminati theme

[@weegle.]

When your video is unlisted you can write comments... He had it unlisted before he uploaded the video

[@sia1036]

watching jazza draw in time-lapse always makes me so relaxed.

[@trueheart9011]

Jazza: i should make realism harder Me on the side: “i cant even draw a tree”

[@Kviryn]

Trueheart lmao how can u not draw a tree lmao

[@fus7646]

a circle at the top of a triangle and boom, coniferous pine

[@osvaldo4488]

8:55 "And you loose depth perception" Me crying in the corner with 1 blind eye...

[@PurpleAmharicCoffee]

I'll join you. All of my depth perception is learned over time, and is very imprecise.

[@Nat-ch4tc]

Absolutely. Amazing.

[@Kostyakremlin]

Jazza : I CAnT dO REaLism art Also jazza :does realism challenges which most people cant do

[@filippiekny3178]

he's literally a professional artist, most people didn't spend more than half of their lives drawing, painting and animating. In all honestly, no, realism isn't something he's InCrEdiBle at. But he's willing to try and practice and challenge himself and that's where his strength's at. A finished artwork is better than an unfinished masterpiece.

[@Kostyakremlin]

It might not be the best but I love all his realism drawings

[@Aryen567]

Jazza: I am going to try my hand at realism *Continues to draw dragon demon face* Yes I know that he was trying to accurately draw the dragon but... You know what I mean

[@philippspierings3615]

Number one is fantastic!!! Love how you show that it doesn’t matter what your working with!

[@affanrehman4193]

Imagine drawing that in the middle of a lesson at school

[@Sunnylyndis]

I had a friend in high school basically draw cartoons or landscapes on the back of tests or on worksheets. We would get marked down for it because out school tried to teach professionalisms. 🙄 but even the strictest teacher didn’t have the heart to mark her paper down. Her drawings were beautiful.

[@sunlightwarrior048]

I do it pratically every day. I go to an artistic school

[@ellamorgan59]

My little sister: "what are you watching?" Me: "A pen drawing challenge" Her: * glances at screen * "why's the drawing all black?" Me: "cause it's pen..." Her: "is he famous?" Me: "I mean... 25,000 people watched this in a half hour, and he has over 5 million subscribers, so yeah." Her: * Looks at my screen, sees drawing, eyes widen * "Woooowwww...... I think he's gonna win that challenge...."

Keep helping other artists stuck at *"phase 1"* on KZbin like myself. You're doing great stuff.

[@craftythat4534]

Me: *sees realism in title of jazza’s video. Oh this is gonna be fun

[@lonewolfheart1697]

Me: Draws a smiley in ballpoint pen Jazza: Creates THREE masterpieces

[@TheHarvestGoddessChloe]

It's interesting seeing him attempt "realism" with a ballpoint and still getting a bit cartoon-ish in the first one. I used to make realism drawings with ballpoint all the time, but I preferred BicStick (specifically the semi-opaque gray ones).

[@Terrelli9]

Jazza: does something for the first time ever and it looks like he’s been doing it for years Me: does the same thing for the first time and it looks like I drew it blindfolded with my non-dominant hand.

[@thinmintthemonkey2435]

Short answer. Of friggen course you can! You talented shmuck.

[@naama1282]

Isn't shmuck Yiddish?😆

[@ninzaninja9960]

Never saw a person use the word schmuck online, only irl

You talented schmuck 😂 That got me good!

Your drawing are always hella good

[@flashpoint1186]

THESE LOOK SO AMAZING! I can’t even comprehend how anyone could do this!!

[@charbelfrim5824]

I love how even doing the hardest of challenges he still can draw better than anything I can do

[@kayleighjudas]

As a purely graphite and ballpoint (and other) pen drawer, I'm impressed on how well you used the pens for your own type of rough, sketchy style

[@banaenaemilk8295]

jazza: *something good* me:*tries to copy jazza’s artwork* also me: why the hecc is jazza’s work so good i followed it

[@muhammadmuslimmustafa5702]

Maybe you are bad at art and i am not a hater

[@mrunmaiparab9705]

We see people's best things, Jazza is practicing for years. I don't think your art is bad, you might need to practice more

[@banaenaemilk8295]

muhammad muslim mustafa i am

[@banaenaemilk8295]

Mrunmai Parab thanks :)

[@ericburns4846]

JAZZA! You should buy and old DSI and play with the included “Flipnote” app! It’d be awesome to unlock a distant memory in a lot of your viewers and add your own jazza spin to it!

[@lukeune]

or art academy!

[@alishbaullah8435]

Short answer: *yes. he's jazza.*

[@dinosharttt]

I don’t know how saying anybody’s name is an answer

[@dinosharttt]

Yes I’m dinoshart.

[@bananaab3156]

Yes I’m a crappy artist

[@Tori-vz5er]

"This is not my strong suit" *proceeds to produce amazing drawings* Jazza has more talent in his little finger than most people have in their entire body

[@Jkl66710]

*Jazza:* Can I do realism with cheap ballpoints? *Me, who does realism with cheap ballpoints:* Hmmmmmm

[@luellastpierre5788]

His point about drawing what you actually see instead of what you think you see is actually really important. I’m a first year in architecture school and we’ve spent two weeks learning to draw like that

[@Pheanir]

"I'm using a ballpoint pen!" has some great meme potential ~
