Explore colored ballpoint pen painting to draw a link and cross, learn colors and textures of lips and teeth, and master cross texture and golden color.
Learn to build a precise primary lip sketch using vertical and horizontal guidelines, cross lines, and measured transfers to paper, including teeth placement and framing.
Sketch the teeth and the nose with precise line work, shading, and placement; construct the upper and lower teeth, lips, gums, and nasal symptoms using accurate measurements and cross guidelines.
Master cross sketching by forming general shapes with guidelines and precise measurements, then refine petals, lilies, and stems with defined lines, thickness, and shading.
Continue the cross sketching by shaping the outer and inner areas, adding shading for darkness, refining negative space, and preparing the drawing for transfer to cardboard using pen techniques.
Develop a hyper-real lip by applying a bright orange background, shading in two directions, layering color, and refining the upper lip line with precise, patient pen technique.
Add subtle yellow highlights and build red shading on the upper lip with layer-by-layer coloring, careful texture lines, and slow, controlled hatching to create volume and depth.
Master upper lip volume in hyper-real drawing by fading pink with orange, selectively applying red with jelly pens, and building texture through directional shading.
Apply Stetler orange as the lower lip background, pair with careful shading in multiple directions to build depth, then layer with Stetler red for the second color.
Apply red Stetler pen and orange background to build lip volume, then texture with directional lines, hatches, and shading for a realistic lower lip.
Shade the lower lip to deepen darkness and volume, refining the surrounding skin for contrast. Use red, orange, and dark brown between the teeth to add depth without overdoing it.
Learn to build nose volume with orange hues through careful, layer-by-layer shading and directional hatch work, shaping the nostrils, nasal septum, and the area above the lips.
Develop the chin foundation using an orange underlayer, plan placements, and apply hatchings in three directions from the face corner to build volume, depth, and separate jewelry from skin.
Practice foundation hatches on the cheek bones by applying quiet, multi-direction shading: establish a background color, then add shading in first, second, third, and fourth directions to shape the face.
Create a neck background color with MONAMI orange, building shading in multiple directions to define the neck, protect the cross area, and gradually layer darkness for realistic volume.
Apply multi-direction shading with orange and brown to build depth on the neck and chin, maintain one-direction strokes, keep lower neck lighter, and keep borders clean between skin and cross.
Learn to deepen the neck background with layered shading, using opposite direction strokes and orange color for depth, while rotating the work to find a comfortable angle.
learn to add complementary skin colors and build volume on the neck and face with layered shading in multiple directions, while managing pen ink for smooth, lively skin tones.
Apply strong orange shading to deepen darkness under the jewel and around the lips, building facial and neck volume with gradual layers and using OK color plus green for depth.
Continue applying complementary skin colors to build volume on the neck and face, using lighter tones where needed and darker shades at the chin and jaw, with pink for brightness.
Finish adding complementary skin colors and deepen shading on the nose to create volume on the neck and face using pen technique.
Layer light orange and pink to render the inner lips and gums, building volume with smooth shading. Use a white pen on cream cardboard for highlights.
Finish the inner part of the lips and gums by layering careful darkness to build lip volume, define edges, and adapt shading direction with rotation while avoiding over-darkening.
Shape the cross by layering dark tones to frame its borders, then apply orange highlights to lighter areas. Build volume, refine textures, and erase pencil lines when using light colors.
Continue shaping the cross with layered skin color, inner and outer lines, and careful shading using colored pen, while emphasizing patience and precision.
Apply a light yellow trace to selective areas of the cross background, keeping the white background separated from the skin. Build depth by layering shading and refining with color.
Build volume and form the cross by layering Stetler Orange with light and dark tones using pens, shading petals and the flower center with yellow tones.
Develop volume in cross drawings by layering darks and lights with colored pens, blending orange, yellow, green and brown, and using a white pen for highlights.
Continue to build volume and depth with light orange layers across the cross and the skin with the pen, shaping petals and inner areas with careful shading and patience.
Learn to build volume and cross-shaped features with colored pens, layering orange, gold, and yellow to create depth while preserving light areas and avoiding overdarkening.
Expand volume and refine the cross construction with a pen by layering orange and yellow tones, adding highlights, borders, and textures for hyper-real depth.
Apply orange and yellow to the circular, pearl-like parts of the cross, keeping light angles consistent to build volume and a golden shine. Use thin-tipped pens for linear details.
Build volume and texture in the jewel by layering yellow, white, and orange tones, adding dark and green accents for depth, and preserving light highlights for a luminous finish.
Build skin volume and warmth by layering orange and green tones, applying fine hatches to shade from the chin toward the lips and nose for a more alive, hyper-real complexion.
Learn to build highlights with a white pen on the lips and softly shade the teeth using tiny blue and pink layers, while avoiding over-inking and preserving light areas.
Apply precise shading to the teeth using orange and subtle greens to define borders without hard lines, adding pink and blue accents for depth and highlights that reveal back teeth.
Apply blue and pink foundations to the teeth, and gradually build volume with orange, dark green, and light layers, reflecting lip shadows for depth.
Apply careful, light shading to teeth, building a pale foundation with blue and pink tones, adding orange and yellow for depth, shadows, and gum separation.
Finish shaping the teeth with realistic volume by layering greens for shading, using a white pen for highlights, and pinks to show gum edges and tooth thickness.
Painting with pen technique is one of the sweetest painting techniques, and the popularity of this technique will double when you can draw an attractive painting with the limited color pens available. The advantages of painting with the colored ballpoint pen are the cheapness of its tools, the cleanliness of the technique (which does not require sharpening like a pencil or the need to wash a brush like oil paint, etc.), and it increases your creativity in using the limited colors of pens which are available in the market. Of course, this limitation of colors in pens may be seen as a weakness, but if we look at it from another angle, this weakness can be called a strength that will be a factor in your creativity in combining colors.
In the following tutorial, you will be taught a sketch including lips and a cross, in which you will:
1. first, get acquainted with the linear sketching of the design.
2. then you will learn how to paint and hatch and shade the skin and create the volume of the face. Combining skin color is one of the main challenges in all colored techniques in painting.
3. You will also learn the shape, color, and texture of the lips with a pen, and finally, you will learn the golden metallic shape of the cross with embossed designs, which will help you to draw all kinds of golden accessories.
The present course is suitable for students over 15 years old who are generally familiar with drawing and painting.
The purpose of this course is to teach painting with pen technique, teaching the skin and lip color and creating volumes, as well as gold ornaments and how to make volume.
