ballpoint



I think I need to do more ballpoint pen sketches. It's so much faster than most other media and it's hard to get hung up on being perfect when it's ballpoint. Maybe it's just a lifetime of doodling at work. My brain accepts that ballpoint doodles don't have to be perfect or "finished" to be good enough.

Agreed, it‘s lovely. Anything that prevents perfectionism is a godo thing IMO - so go do ballpoint! I know I get fed up with watercolour (the *layers*) regularly and go back to pencil or ink, my comfort media.
