This thread was ded *kicks back to life*
 
Ok...Im just gonna copy and paste what I wrote about this on DA. Also, I would liek to restate that I hate scanners sometimes....:| :

"I did have a load of other drawings going on - but U2's return to the stage after a break (which was prolonged due to Bono's injury) instantly put me in a great mood - and I was even happier *fangirlsqueal* to find that pictures of the show were already up on the internet!

*woo*

so...yes, here is one of those photographs...Bono and Adam in gig mode :)

This is done in pencils - and I promptly realised after scanning it that all the black areas (a large proportion of the image) were...er...shiny. So I had to edit it the best I could without disguising the fact that it is a drawing - hope I didnt get too cariied away.... anyway... :heart:"

Whoa.

So much depth.
 
popml verrrrrrrry nice Bono & Adam drawing!:applaud:

domo-k! love your Bono sketch!:hyper:
ther cross-hatching is great!


um...is it in plain old black office ball point pen? B/c I often do stuff in ball point pen these days( nd sometimes inthe past) ...until i feel confident again enough to go back to the archival grade black felt tip markers I've been buying over the last year or so. I don't want to waste them!

Funny enough ..as a school trained Artist from 7th grade on ( actually earlier) through Art College and continued Adult Ed and self-education through books and The Net---

I really LIKE the look of
"Black Office Ball Point Pen"! :lmao::lmao:

it usally has a gradation from black to balck-blueish gray.
you can see that's so in your sketch there!
WHich is why I'll be very suprised if it's NOT BOBPP!!!! :eyebrow::lol:


the only question i have is IS his eye that small? ALthough his ?right eye lid makes that eye look smaller than the his left one.

glad you both BUMPED this threadf back up! :applaud::applaud::)

It IS infamous black office ballpoint pen..
And about the Eye's he was erh, kind of glaring , trough is glasses at Ali.
I think thats why they look so small. Plus I had areally hard time figuring them out behind his shades. The pic I used for Reff. was a kind of dark pic .

and your explainnation makes sense! Yeah glass refections are tricky to do & look through to see the eye(s).
anyway great job domo-k!:yes:


BIROis the name for Office Ball Point Pen Drawings????!!???

OR a type/style of drawing , not the meiudm used?
 
eh I just call them biros LOL.

Is it a Brit thing? I dunno.....:huh: :lol:

sometimes they can be called biro drawings too.......*dies of confusion*


^ yeah we do have some really great artists on interference :up: :)
Its nice that the art cheers you up!
 
Whoa I've missed so much! I love, love, LOVE the ink drawing and the Adam and Bono drawing! I'm still trying to get my jaw off the floor as we speak.

:shocked: You're not the only one!!
It's incredible how U2 inspires all of us to rise above our comfort zone, to reach higher than what we thought we could ever achieve:D:heart:

As a fellow art lover who enjoys museums and such, I can only bow down and marvel at it all!
 
i tried to post way earlier but my wifi signal got iffy :huh: it happens off & on

anyway I looked up "biro drawing" and got an artist who had some marvelous work up., and talks about it & maybe links to other artists etc

enjoy!:D

He said biro was a Brit term. Oherwise it's called ballpoint drawing.

here's part of his site

Biro Drawing.co.uk

enjoy!


hey PML93 :wave:
 
:lol::lol::lol:

OH!.... I just remembered/realized since i often use Papermate black pens as well.....

on the BIC Crystal pen (clear plastic barrel) it has a little "logo"? that
says......"Biro" ... so that's where that comes from!

:lol::lol: i don't have one around at this min, but yeah, i can visualize it there on the barrel of the pen! :lol:

Mystery Solved! :D
