Pen drawing

 

Pen drawing is a technique in which an artist uses pens, typically with various types of ink, to create lines and shading on paper or other surfaces. Pen drawings can vary in style, from precise and detailed to loose and expressive. Artists use different types of pens, such as fountain pens, technical pens, and fine liners, to achieve different line qualities and effects. The permanence of ink allows for rich contrasts and textures, and artists often use hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, and other techniques to create tone and depth. Pen drawing is versatile and widely used for illustrations, sketches, comics, and fine art.
