Everything here was done with just a pen on a needlepoint paper
Took approximately a month to complete this piece
It's amazing what one can achieve with the regular pen
After drawing every details out I begin the shading with the ballpen, I use Biro because of the colour although any pen can go.
The shading technique I use is hatching and crosshatching. Hatching is for the Highlight areas and crosshatching is for the dark areas and semi-tone.
That's how the Pepsi can was achieved. Identifying your areas of values and highlights
Then I start shading the water. It not really difficult as it looks all you need is just identifying areas of highlights and values and shade accordingly
That's how the water effect was achieved.
More Progress till the final shot was achieved as seen above
Thank you.
