I thought ballpoint pen drawings wereinherently monochromatic, but then I discoveredSamuel Silvas ballpoint pen art.
Using just eight different colored ballpoint pens, Silva creates incredibly photorealistic portraits of people, animals and landscapes.
Samuel Silva uses regular BIC ballpoint pens and each drawing can take from 5 to 50 hours to finish.
I don’t mix them [colors] nor blend them.
Ballpoint pen ink dries instantly and can not be erased.
Silva says he started drawing from the early age of just 2.
I never imagined there were so many brilliantly masterful ballpoint artists out there.
The 29-year-old Portugal based Samuel Silva is an attorney by profession and art is just his hobby.
I would love to see what he achieves when he makes art his profession.
Maybe one day I’ll create an account just to share those.
