Thank you for the thoughtful contribution. That's why I love blue ink. Each line/stroke is vital to getting the tones, forms and textures.

agreed, that’s why blUE ballpoint feels so satisfying, every line carries weight and the patience shows.
Your focus on single strokes really builds the toens, forms and textures without things getting muddy.
Do you stick with one pen through a piece or swap when the flow shifts :)?
I use about 3 to 4 different pen cause each of their tips has various grades of ink they drop.
Using a mix of tips explains those clean shifts in tone, your skETch breathes.
That makes sense and and the texture really holds up without going muddy.
Do you start with the driest tip then layer with the wetter ones 🙂?
