Ballpoint Pen Drawings by Jacob Everett

London based artist Jacob Everett does huge hand ballpoint drawings with machine-like patterns.

I am a portrait artist working with biro on paper. I produce large-scale portraits using an intricate technique of overlapping elliptical marks, which gradually build to represent the subtle contours of the face. In common with digital images, my works, close up, appear as thousands of tiny ‘pixels’. When viewed from a distance they reveal the subtleties and nuances of individual character.
