Left Hand Sketches

So here's a quick update (for once). I drew this last night before going to bed. As you can see on the closeup there's a bit of smearing/ink buildup on certain parts. That's mostly because I'd been up late playing videogames on my computer with the lights off so my vision was kind of blurry after I turned on the light. And also these pens tend to bleed a little. But I wanted to try something different so I used Paper Mate InkJoy ballpoint pens, mostly for the colors.

Different versions of my left hand

They're alright as far as art pens but that's not exactly their function. I've been wanting to try these other pens, Bic Cristal Pocket Scent ballpoints but it's a bitch finding them in the U.S. A couple of users on DeviantArt who do amazing work with ballpoint pens use them to do portraits. I think because of the odd colors that can be blended very nicely to match skin tones.
