From my lesson archives: Sweet house wren in ballpoint on an antique invoice
Later today, an illustrated printable will kick off our new theme (drawing heirloom wildflowers and their pollinators) but right now I want to bid farewell to our songbirds in ink… with a free bonus video lesson from my online class archives.
Along with step-by-step guidance as you draw this cozy little house wren in ballpoint pen, I included a scan of the original 1880s home goods invoice so you can have the same wonderful vintage background. (If you aren’t confident about your drawing skills but would like to just do the inking and coloring steps, I also provided an optional basic sketch you can use.) This lesson is taken from my online course, Ballpoint Birds. We also drew ravens and kingfishers on antique letters and correspondence - see more about this lifetime access course HERE.
Okay. Let’s explore the warm, old-fashioned look of tinted ballpoint. There are two videos and three printable pdf pages. Enjoy.
