Ball Point Pen Sketch

lmao

It's pretty easy, and can be done with any pen as long as it has ink in it. Ofcourse, some are better to use than others. But alot of times I just bust out with a sharpie, or a G-Pilot. I think what you mean with the lines intersecting, overlapping etc. is called crosshatching, and that's not tedious at all; not in my opinion. Also thickness of lines, solids, negative space...all plays it's own roles. It's not what you got; it's how you use it.

Well, it's tedious to me because I don't like taking a long time on my drawings :p

I hardly draw much but when I do, I mostly use pencil for all of it. I only pen to get the lines darkened in when it is done. Stippling is tiring but works if you use a pen. Crosshatching depends on how close the lines are to each other. It is all a trick of the mind and the eyes. That is all that makes hatching and stippling seem lighter/darker.
