Biro Art or Ballpoint Pen Art

Biro Art or Ballpoint Pen Art

is an example of the play aspect of drawing that I mentioned in yesterdays post. I I was talking on the telephone and at the same time doing what we all do … doodle. Yes doodling is drawing. I must have done this hundreds of times, but have never thought about taking the doodle idea any further.

I thought about Paul Klee taking his line for a walk. From this I decided to do a series of drawings using ballpoint/biro pens and using a typical doodle scribble technique, keeping my biro/ballpoint pen on the paper for as long as possible. I have been working on figure drawings recently so decided to use parts of the figure as my subject matter – not all of the figure, but close ups of part of the figure. When the biro drawings were completed the spectator had to work on deciding what the drawing was about. It is easier to see the drawings as figure drawings at the smaller scale of the computer. These biro/ballpoint drawings are up to A2 in size.
