Using Biro

Quick Sketch in my Journal

I've always been comfortable using a simple biro for a drawing. They are always at hand and are easier to carry around than what a box of paints are. I think the detailed, line quality that a biro can create is rather interesting and I've always admired the look that they create. Similar to a pencil, the amount of pressure applied to the pen, changes the tone and strength of the lines. After creating dry-point prints, I see a biro as being another form of media than can create a similar look. Also, a biro is great for working back into any piece. They can help refine detail in paintings and pencil drawings and when used with ink, can create something visually incredible.
