Pen portrait - Work VS passion by ~ArtisAllan is too cool of a concept to not feature. An appropriately sprinkled grain of realism intensifies the message being conveyed. Biro work at one of its finest; please enjoy! ( Suggested by ~Raishuu and Featured by `snowmask )

It looks really good don't get me wrong, but his left cheek (right side of the paper) looks odd...the pink to the right of the nose. That is the only thing that I can critique, everything else looks AMAZING. But any tips on how to draw the eyebrows/eyelashes/hair with pen?

this is perhaps the shadow of the nose :)
To draw eyebrows and eyelashes with pen, just draw them one by one ;)

Oh yay I love drawing hundreds upon hundreds of hairs one by one! Just kidding, I am obsessed with art, I am on my 8th sketchbook and in art 4 Advanced, I think I know the patience people need to have in art.
