Experiences that have had in using pen will be what I will use in explaining the easiest way to make use of a pen for a portrait. People will often ask that how do the shades of pen being handled? This post will explain the gradual process of how to go about it.
When working with a pen, it is always advisable to have the following beside you. These are:
your sketch pad,
different shades of pen that you intend to use,
A rough paper where you will rub your pen to clean the ink exhibit on the pen as you work.
These are the major materials needed.
The question on what to erase mistakes with when mistakes is made is that, there is a pen eraser. But for me as a pen artist, I have never made use of a pen eraser before and so far as I have gone, I have been able to produce at least great progress in the method and technique I embraced.
The major point to note in working with a pen is that patience is needed for a good and nice work.
How do you shade?
Where you have a dark shade, the pressure on the pen will be deep and so steady on the spot and when working on a light part of the portrait, you can either leave it unshaped if you can't manage the pressure on your pen. But if you have the ability to manage the pressure on the pen, you will have to shade lightly and gently. There won't be the need for much detailing in the areas where you have light shades.
Here is the final shot of the work
If there is any question or observation, please let's address it together. More tutorials on this coming.
