That’s absolutely stunning! Congratulations, @Dima - creating an image like that without “undo” button is quite a challenge!

@Michelist Hi. 🤝Thank you. Yes, that’s why I love drawing with a pen. It doesn’t forgive mistakes. Drawing with a pen is more of an exercise and a workout for me, it keeps me in shape.

Привет. Спасибо. Да именно за это я и обожаю рисовать ручкой. Она не прощает ошибок. Рисование ручкой для меня больше упражнение и тренировка, так я поддерживаю себя в форме.

I am assuming that was made on krita wow that’s impressive and without using the undo button and one layer, even more.

@lymboever Thank you. No, it’s a traditional approach, using a regular piece of paper and ballpoint pens in various colors. In Krita, I only added my signature.

Спасибо. Нет это традишка, обычный лист бумаги и шариковые ручки разных цветов. В Krita я только добавил свою подпись.

The ballpoint pen technique is still an unknown territory for me. Your work is very inspiring. I need to finally find the time, sit down, and finish the drawing I started a long time ago. What’s a bit discouraging is that I can’t erase a mistake or, like in Krita, start over with Ctrl+Z.

Thank you for your response. I tried drawing with different colors, but I ultimately settled on three shades: black, blue, and white. This is a sheet of paper. Such restraint doesn’t lead the mind into coloring, but focuses on the basic understanding of forms through light and shadow. I recommend the pen as a training tool; after using it, drawing on a tablet with a stylus is simply a pleasure.

Спасибо за отклик. Я пробовал рисовать разноцветными, но остановился всё таки на трёх оттенках, чёрная, синяя и белый, это лист бумаги. Такая сдержанность не уводит мысли в раскраску, а концентрирует на основнов понимании форм с помощью света и тени. Рекомендую ручку как тренажер, после неё рисовать на планшете стилусом просто одно удовольствие.
