Drawing superfast with a ball point pen gets you past that control freak, OCD phase that comes when you first discover drawing. It gets you to think about shapes and positive and negative space and away from the need to perfectly render every hair and line on a face (for example). It helps make you an artist instead of just someone who can draw. An excellent blog and it's nice to know what Jill's up to so thanks for the heads up Heidi. Nice singing by the way, glad you weren't "lying in the gutters" at the time. Jill’s advice to artists is spot on.

When I was in art school I noticed for myself that working with ballpoint pen made me work faster and got me to think differently while drawing. That was almost 12 years ago or so....

Her work is soooo good. I feel bad that I didn't like her work when I saw it in Sandman and Badger. Scary Godmother and the work she's done with Evan Dorkin are beautiful. Great advice!
