VERY interesting. There's a LOT going on in this piece, and as all ballpoint, it's amazing. Ballpoint stuff is always hard to do because if you screw up, you have to incorporate it into the picture :D I'm not sure if that's what happened with the "wings" because they are so completely different from the rest of the picture (yet so flawless and beautiful!!) - This is lovely. I dig the shading in the dragonfly's wings, as well as the water. You can tell much effort was spent here. Love it. Great job!!! keep it coming! :D

Great pen work! I really like the shading. The rose patterns on the wings(?) is beautiful.

yeah, i agree, the main deal with ballpoint is surviving your mistakes... and i make plenty of mistakes, heheh. the wings were certainly pretty spontaneous, even if not created from error.

thanks for such nice comments :)

you draw in ballpoint, eh? i'll have to check out your stuff when i'm not in a hurry like i am now ^^; pen is a really addictive medium, at least it certainly was for me.

and thanks :)
