Need some help with how to use pen and ink when drawing portraits?
I’ll show you 2 different ways for how to create portrait ink sketches using pen and ink techniques. During this pen portrait tutorial you’ll see time-lapse videos of how I go about drawing a classical dip pen portrait using hatching, and a scribble drawing portrait using a ballpoint pen.
Even though I don’t follow Inktober by the book, I do love using October to get back into my pen and ink sketching habit.
I hope that this pen and ink drawing lesson will prepare you with two different ways to keep your drawing practice fresh.

Tools used in this video: Smooth Strathmore Bristol Paper, HB graphite pencil, pen holder with Nikko or Zebra G-Nib, Walnut Darkening Medium (as ink), Bic ballpoint pen
