Pen Challenge – Can you do it?

It has been quite a while since I participated in tag challenges. I remember when I first started drawing years ago, back in 2008, I always challenged myself to improve by joining art challenges in forum and being tagged by fellow artists. I really missed those days! I haven’t been drawing lately ever since I started working after graduation, and thanks to my talented friend who tagged me on a pen challenge recently, I picked up my pen and started sketching again.

So here’s the rules of Pen Challenge he has tagged me in:

Rules are as follows:
1) Pen only: No pencil, erasing, tracing, white-out or what not.
2) Show us your handwriting
3) Tag some fellow artists

And Aricson did an amazing job! Do visit his page as he has many amazing artworks as well 🙂

At first, I was quite apprehensive because I seldom use pen to sketch, without guidelines as my main area is pencil portraits which requires guidelines to achieve realism. And not having to draw for almost a year, I am glad that I plucked up the courage to pick up a ball point pen and started doing a quick 10 minutes sketch of Hulk.

Ahhh…how I miss exploring the facial features with my eyes and relying on my hand muscle memory to sketch. Not too bad for a quick doodle!

I might be doing this Hulk in a proper drawing in my favorite medium – mechanical pencil! Let’s see…

I have tagged a friend of mine on my personal facebook, Aaron Toh, whom I met in an art forum years back…and he is also a Singaporean artist! Very talented as well 🙂

Shall update this post if he is up for the challenge!

Now here, I would like to tag my fellow readers too!

It doesn’t matter if you think you cannot draw but just unleash your own creatvity and draw anything you want! I would love to hear from you and love to see your pen drawing/sketch too! Do email me at bellaelysium@yahoo.com 🙂

Are you up for it?
