Here’s a rough ballpoint pen sketch from one of my sketchbooks. A sketch for me is kind of like going to the gym for a workout. I’m not exactly trying to produce a masterpiece but rather stretch boundaries and put ideas to paper. Ideas you have in your head look one way but sometimes don’t come out as planned on paper or digital canvas so sketching is how I try out something to see if it'll work. In the case of these ballpoint pen sketches, it’s more a basic practice of can my hand recreate what my eyes can see. It’s fun to just sit down and look at some cool gun content and let artistic hands scribble away. For me, it’s cathartic. I enjoy the Line aesthetic as well.
