Here's a small collection of my artwork.

I'll alternate between pen and pencil, but I like pen because of the intensity of black ink. Unfortunately, pen is a little harder to shade with since lint or whatever kinda bunches up at the ball point causing small random blotches. Pencil is pretty versatile but the darker the graphite the more it kinda crumbles and looks super "grainy". Probably wouldn't be a big of a deal on bigger pieces, but anyway the planet was just drawn with your typical pencil. The rest was done with your ballpoint pen.

I don’t like how you’re portraying the world

@MoonaNorth86 They're individual pieces and not all connected together but that's the beauty of art. It can be interpreted in many different ways. 😁

@RedGrizzly you’re portraying the world as a death zone

@MoonaNorth86 To some that might be, but the truth of it is this: The first one was inspired between places like Vegas or "the Wild West". The second is a part of the Apocalypse. lol But the third is not Earth otherwise instead of striations there would be continents but a gas giant like Jupiter being formed into a planet hence all the wispy space gas on the right side since planets have an orbit and rotation. That's what I was originally portraying but I can see as a collection it can come across doom and gloom.

On that, I am working on a landscape piece of the Rockies in Wyoming which is more peaceful to look at that I think you'd like better then the rest. 😁

@RedGrizzly I still see it portraying death
