@davidrevoy that's so cool!! And also one of the great things about ballpoint. It can have a dry almost scratchy quality to thin strokes that is almost like a pencil
@hwll Exactly, for a long time, I was impressed by them about the "I can't erase" part of the ink. But if I abstract it and just think I'm holding a pencil, then it works.

Stuck 4 hours at the train station yesterday, so I drew this entire world freehand with just a ballpoint pen. No pre-sketch, no plan, the story just appeared.

Wonderful! -
@scvalex That's all lines I could do with the Bic "Round Stic M" one of the photo: depending the speed, angle and pressure of my hand. I also take advantage of 'ink blobs', that I smear with my fingers to darken the paper.
It has in final a very large variety of effect and line weight. I love this tool.@davidrevoy That's pretty cool.

@davidrevoy great!!! Now, write the story it's an order
Actually, there is really something to do here, a fantasy novel a bit in the same vein as Little Nightmare, and Alice in Wonderland around a lonely fairy. I'll note it somewhere.

@davidrevoy I love that the Fediverse looks at a enchanting scene of a mice army, complete with bottle cap shields and lizard/bird mounts, surrounding a sleeping fairy...
...and immediately jumps to "That six-sided die in the corner seems unrealistic."

@davidrevoy you shall better keep this note on top of your list, closed to your eyes if you don't want to feel my wrath!!!

@davidrevoy wow. Can I get stuck with you in the elevator next time this happens to me?
@jtr
Not sure I can be relax enough inside an elevator to draw like that! A train station, yes, full of passenger stuck and with the "next info in 15minutes" left really a special moment in space/time. It's sort of easy to navigate with an access to the toilets and cheap food. Part of the comfort of waiting there for an undefined amount of time. Also, sunny and soft weather in Montpelier yesterday, it helped at staying positive and just sketch and enjoy.

@davidrevoy So nice! A friend of mine (who gives me pencils) always says that the ideas are already in those pencils. All you have to do is draw it out.

@davidrevoy This is lovely, but it makes me wonder if fairies are ever able to sleep on their backs...

@lhauser
Thank you. And good point. I now wonder what is a ideal bed for a fairy. Especially if they are two. Does this mean a couple of fairy can't spoon to go to sleep? That's sort of sad -

Wow! This is such a vibe! Between stellar alt text and the story in the picture, I am obsessed. 🧚

@windigo
Exactly! I can't imagine what would happen if I drew an imaginary big keyboard with a fictional keyboard layout from memory. -
