I have been in a drawing mood lately. Today I decided to give ballpoint pens a try.

First, I sketched out a rough pencil drawing of my favorite Star Wars character, Yoda. Then I began to lay down a foundation of color. Slowly and gently more layers of color were built upon each other to make shadows and darker tones.

I had a lot of fun working on this but it took quite a bit of patience to fill in some of the larger areas. Overall, this drawing took me about 15 hours to complete. (See below.)

I posted the final high-resolution artwork on my gallery where prints can be purchased.

Prints of this drawing and more are available on my gallery at jennifer-allison.fineartamerica.com.
