Imagining a better future in the time of COVID isolation seems like a fevered dream.
Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper
@zom18 Thank you! It's quite challenging setting the mood with Bic4 pen - the inks tend to be fairly vibrant on their own and don't quite fit the mood of the drawing. The trick is to add yellow and layer the complementary colours over and over each other until the whole drawing attains the needed depth. Also, by layering, I avoid using the black ink.
From a wonderful photograph by Mr. Georges Courreges.

@mapalomar Thanks! This one took a while to do because I kept visually getting lost in all the folds and creases!
