My latest Ballpoint Pen Drawing (September 2015)

Recently I left one of my ‘base’ in Delta State back to Bauchi in a hurry and forgot my faded blue towel behind.

Anyway, the above picture is a recent sketch I made at its early stage of development. At the top left side of the picture is a folded piece of tissue paper that I use to clean the tip of the pen while I draw. The ballpoint pen often overflows when I sketch with it for too long (I use to use the towel but have found an alternative).

Below is the ‘completed’ biro sketch of the above picture.

 

To avoid accidentally staining the white paper with hand w(hile working), I use a folded sheet of paper instead of my regular towel (a method/tradition I sometimes use).

The faded blue towel

Yesterday, I was going through my past blog post. Apart from the numerous grammatical blunders, I noticed that a faded blue towel was featured in most of the photographs in my post.

I bought the towel a few years ago for the sole purpose of using it for biro sketches. Often times, the ink in the pen over flows so I wipe the tip of the ballpoint pen with the towel. The second purpose of the towel is to cover/protect white paper from getting stained.

I think it is time to get a new one (something more presentable). I might convert this to my painting rage for my watercolour (using it to dry/clean the brush). I have used it for almost ten years and have carried it where ever I travelled in those years.

Thanks for reading today. I invite you to ‘like’ my Facebook page www.facebook.com/art.african I would try my best to interact with you there.
