Biro Artwork

This site hopes to help elevate awareness of a rare art form which deserves more respect and acknowledgement across the art and wider world.
People are often surprised by the quality and realism possible from drawings created by simple ballpoint pens. For any interested artists, the page Technique & Tips offers some useful tips and some insight into the techniqe used by James Mylne in his drawings. James has been using ballpoints for photo-realist drawings (examples in above gallery) since 1994.
