Allan Barbeau i dont understand you artists. Like I seen some awesome ass drawings before, but this is BEYOND surreal. Like Absolutely fkin' crazy to the 1000 degree of the fuckin Universe X Infinity and back time 900000000 +10. After watching this if you told me there was a such thing as Negative Zero, I'd believe you without a shadow of a doubt and realize with negative zero you discovered how to bend time and space. Because what I just fkin witnessed right now looked like a goddamn photograph. And I seen people sit with their drawings out and I'd actually stop and buy it if I had the cash, but this, this just goes beyond everything I just said. Easily put, saying this drawing was absolutely fking Amazing. Saying everything I said does no justice on explaining how impressed I am. Can you do one of Don Rickles? One of the best comedians of our times. I just wish would do ANYTHING to have your skills including getting unlaid all the times I got laid become a Virgin again, just to have your skillz. UNREAL!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the weird ass comment, but a normal comment couldn't be used at an un normal video. I say Un normal because as I'm trying to express, it looks like you pulled out your camera and took a picture of Johnny Depp, your drawing does not look like a drawing it looks like a photograph lmfao. So unreal.
+Allan Barbeau Your awesome , I checked out all your art and ran across something that caught my eye. It's a book called "The complete Ballpoint Pen art book", do I have to look online for it?
This is perhaps the single most realistic drawing I've ever seen! I can't believe my eyes right now. I guess pens are the best alternative to electronic printers as they both use ink, but to have the precision of a printer... That's simply amazing! Hats off, my friend. My mind is blown.
I could watch yours and other artist's videos for hours! What a gift you have! I was thinking while watching that it must take you days to complete. Imagine my increased awe when I realized you did it in 4 hours - WOW! Your detail is absolutely stunning!! I love JD/Jack Sparrow - thanks for posting this!
When I'm depressed i watch this video, when I can't find solutions to my problems I watch this video and when I have negative thoughts about all humanity I watch this video. Because this artwork shows me that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!! Thank you for posting this and congratulations!
Allan Barbeau can i just add that your artwork is insipiring and god-like. Im am doing GCSE art at the moment and i brought this up in class and you were the talk of the class for about 2 hours! I loved this so much i have completed a final peice for my examination following this and in the style of your pieces. Thanks so much for talent like you that makes people stare in awe for ages and ages!
you are INCREDIBLY talented. there were times watching this that i sincerely could not tell the difference between your reference photo and your drawing.
My mind was just melted, frozen, broken to pieces with a hammer, defrosted and put back together and then blown away by the shooting squad while the moon was exploding.
REALLY Impressing, i just can't imagine anyone doing it as dope as you did. Wow man, fantastic! I woudn't believe it was a drawing if I didn't see the video... ROFL. Keep doing this dope art man! You've got the Talent
This is one of the most amazing things I ever seen!!! You've got talent Mr. Barbeau.....TALENT! I'm really glad I got to see your little tutorial on how you do this before I saw this, or I wouldn't have believed it.
I see people going that this is not art. Well i probably could agree with you, i see where you're comming, but as someone who does things like this guy (just with graphite pencils) I can also say this: lots of famous painters had mostly worked with actual landscapes and people. The best teacher is mother nature in which humans are included as well. It's a form of studying. And it helps to understand the light, colors and textures better. It's much easier to create something of your own when you have all that knowledge in you. I personally call it "study artwork". Art is suposed to awake one's feelings and emotions right?. This kind of stuff may not awake a viewers feelings, but it is a release of them for me personally and maybe for a lot of others who do stuff like this. It takes a lot of emotional energy and attachment to start and finish a portrait like this. It gets you frustrated when u cannot get something right, angry if you mess it up and happy, when you have that amazing result staring back at you. Art isn't just about the viewer but the creator as well. It doesn't have to be a one way road. ANd i don't think it is supposed to be.
This video was originally commissioned to see what colors I use for a tan skin color and how I draw dreadlocks. The original video for the costumer is 4 hours long so it's very less shaky and it comes with comments. I super fast it just to be able to share the work in progress in less than 10 minutes .
Wow this is amazing i know u can get this quality details using pastel coz ive been using it for quite a while, but with PEN wow that is really really amazing man love it !
That is a really beautiful piece of artwork Allan. Please could you describe the pens etc,. that you are using and very inspiring. I want to have a go at this. You really are a master of the pen......
Great drawing - looks like a photo - really hard to do with pens. I was a bit confused because it jumped around a lot but UNBELIEVABLE drawing!!!!!!!!! ;-)
This is the first time I've felt the need to comment on a TH-cam video, just want to say your work is top notch 👍 also like how you get back to everyone who's got any questions about drawing materials or just general questions most artists these days don't share a thing and think they are too good to talk to the norm, your going far!
Incredible stuff, I was most impressed by the fact that none of your ballpoint pens leaked huge unsightly blobs on the paper XD That always happens to me!
adarkerlight Thanks. I can't remember how many days. With 2 young kids at home, one day will be 2 hours of work during the day and some day just 10 minutes LOL.
Porco-Dio FIlm With that kind of talent, he's allowed to show his ego, hell, he should be screaming it out loud for the rest of the world to hear him! I'm totally blown away by this!
Oh. My. Gosh. This is frickin amazing! If I could draw like that, man the things I could do! And what's funny is I'm actually listening the the POTC 3 soundtrack right now XD
Wow! I have seen so many drawings around but none were as realistic as this one! I gotta say, I'm very beginner in drawing and I've started this journey very late but I do really hope to be as talented as you!!! that would take years though... well, practice makes perfect ... isn't it? :)
hi Alan, I am amazed at your work want to try something in this style but could you write what kind of objects were used, especially colored than the skin of a pirate?
You're such a brilliant artist! I could not even compare which one's the pic from your drawing! Marvelous! and should I say, your work is better than the picture!
This is incredible...amazing stuff. Allan could you give me any tips as to where to start with something like this? I can sketch fairly decently using graphite and charcoal but ball point pens? I don't even know where to begin...
You can go on my forum ? → forum.creations-artisallan.com/viewforum.php?f=51 or have a look on my video " How to draw with ballpoint pen → th-cam.com/users/ArtisAllan?feature=mhum
OMG! i thought that wasn't even a drawing when i first saw it! amazing, seriously, i showed it to my parents and they thought it was made with some photo app. and they didn't believe until they saw the entire video! keep up the awesome work :)))
Your complete attention and acceptation to detail is uncanny... Beautifully done. I LOVE Jack Sparrow! (AKA: Johnny Depp) I wish I could buy that drawing you just did. I'd frame it and keep it forever! :3
chiikuroshitsuji elfenspice well, before photography was invented, rich people would pay fortunes for photorealistic paintings... but after photography, photorealism lost space.
I draw alot I saw your drawings and I did my family portrait and it turned out really well are you self tought or did you take classes I have drawn cartoon character to film stars Iam glad you have open my eyes to biro pen art many of my friends say you can't tell a photo and my drawing apart but I can I have subscribed to your channel you never stop learning how long does it take you to do Johnny Depp
There is no skin tone ballpoint pen. you have to use colors like brown, pink, orange that can be find with the Steadlers brand and the yellow from the mini BIC scent
You have really inspired me to try this myself. I have a couple of questions though: What kind of paper do you draw on? Which ones could you recommend? Also, how much "lifespan" does a ballpoint pen have? Thank you! :) You're a great artist!
Hey there! Your artwork is totally crazy (in a good way!!!). I was wondering how you decided to chose using ballpoint pens? I would never instinctively choose that medium to draw anything!
Hello I’m new to this medium! I’ve been drawing with graphite for a while and I want to start pen drawing. Do you have any tips for me to get smooth shading, highlights, shadows, and realistic hair and features? I keep asking people and they never respond. I tried doing this but my shading looked like scribbles and lines. Can you help me out please? Thanks and this is amazing!
Hi, just wondering what pens you used- as in brands, colours etc?? Or even ones that you would reccommend? This method looks amazing and I want to trial it for myself :)
Thanks !! No blending tool. Every pen you see are just ... pen :) One of them looks bigger cause it's a 4 colours pen. You know, with retractable cartridge .
Your use of basic pens is absolutely impressive!
I don't understand how this is possible ... ITS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!
John, the point is to show that ballpoint pen can be an Art tool like any other medium ( cause some say otherwise). And have a good fun making it :)
You are right anything can be used to make art, and i mean anything. Your picture looks soo amazing

+Allan Barbeau Your awesome , I checked out all your art and ran across something that caught my eye. It's a book called "The complete Ballpoint Pen art book", do I have to look online for it?
you should do a video of you drawing tupac shakur
This is perhaps the single most realistic drawing I've ever seen! I can't believe my eyes right now. I guess pens are the best alternative to electronic printers as they both use ink, but to have the precision of a printer... That's simply amazing! Hats off, my friend. My mind is blown.

4 hours !? No. The original video is 4 hours but still speed up a little bit. No, I think I spend 50 hours on this one.
Ok, well that makes more sense!! At any rate...so much talent!
This proves that you can with even cheap supplies, you can draw anything if you have the skill. Great job man :)
This is a mazing. Unable to blend like other mediums and yet you achieved your goal beautifully. Thank you! A joy to watch
i had tears in the eyes because its so...omg i'm speechless. i'm telling you you got a special talent!
from time to time I watch this video and every time I can't get out of awe... great work
When I'm depressed i watch this video, when I can't find solutions to my problems I watch this video and when I have negative thoughts about all humanity I watch this video. Because this artwork shows me that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!

With a ballpoint pen?! I am really impressed. Your drawing is amazing!
you are INCREDIBLY talented. there were times watching this that i sincerely could not tell the difference between your reference photo and your drawing.
I am in utter awe of you. This is honestly fantastic!
Absolutely amazing!!!! Great music in the background too! My favorite soundtrack in the world!!
I see such an amazing drawing with pens.. I mean so realistic, made with pens, for first time ! Congratulations for the great job! :)
I absolutely HATE the filming. It makes me sick, but the artwork is fantastic, so I had to see the whole thing anyway. Truly amazing.
I'm used to drawing realism in ballpoint but I have never considered using coloured pen. This is brilliant and I have to try
and they said never draw with a pen ........
Who are they ? ;)
teachers haha
Dylan Bonello
, that's because they don't know what we can do with them !! :)
truth has been spoken
yeah! im an artist, sorta, and I draw without a pen cause that what my teacher said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck you've got a TALENT!
If I didn't just watch you draw that, I would swear it was a photo. Keep up the amazing work!
Maannn you are the most disciplined perfectionist i have ever seen.... This is too good.
Damn!!! Even with ball pens. You didn't even miss a single detail. Awesome!!
My mind was just melted, frozen, broken to pieces with a hammer, defrosted and put back together and then blown away by the shooting squad while the moon was exploding.
Are you going to be making any more videos anytime soon? I love your drawings and I would love to see more!
That's amazing! I didn't even bat an eye while watching this awesomeness! Good work.
thanks
WOW! This is amazing! This deserves more views
Literally the coolest thing ever! Imagine doing this at school when you're bored
It's great! I never saw something like this, you're a biggest artist, thank you for showing us this talent

I'm so jealous of your talent... Great work man! x
What color pens did you use for the skintone?
Xox ~w 💕 he layered pink brown and orange
a bit of yellow and some black and red if needed as well :)
That is really good!! And you did it with pens that's even cooler!!!
Hats Off!!!! Using only ballpoint pens!!!! So realistic work!!!!
yeahh :)
Back at home in the islands all we had was pen black blue and red, that how I started to draw lol, this brings back childhood memories AWESOME WORK
your hand + pen + music = light kun from death note :D
AMAZING btw, you're awesome !!
This. This is madness. Okay? This is so much madness that I can feel insanity growing inside of my mind
I would pay for this drawing . great work my friend.
So talented! Pen is a medium I really want to get into. No part two to your How to draw with Ballpoint pen video?
Not yet sorry. I need more time to do so
Looking forward to it!
This is seriously amazing. good job!
Innnnnncredible and inspiring!! Thank you for sharing your art with us!:)♥
Goodness this is beyond phenomenal! *cries tears of joy*
Oh my godness that's the best pic what I ever seen!!! And you worked with pen! That's crazy!!
With great talent - comes great responsibility to help other along the artistic path. A good thing to remember.
You have great talent Allan.
YOU, my friend, have got TALENT!!

Wow, that's an amazing realistic work!
Te felicito gran talento! Que materiales usas todo es en lapiceros de colores!
oh my goodness!! that is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! subbed! amazing work!

I'm not sure what's more amazing: the fact that you had the concentration to actually do this, or your art skills.
Incredible stuff, I was most impressed by the fact that none of your ballpoint pens leaked huge unsightly blobs on the paper XD That always happens to me!
My ballpoint pens leak like every pen. But to avoid blobs, I clean the tip of the pen constantly but you can't see it on the video at that speed.
Be one with the pen......
Nice Drawing! i was just wondering where i could find the stealder and BIC brand pens you used?
Did I count something like 23 or 24 days to do this? Stunning work. I actually found the video dynamic and engaging, the editing was great.
adarkerlight Thanks. I can't remember how many days. With 2 young kids at home, one day will be 2 hours of work during the day and some day just 10 minutes LOL.
How do you make a background blurry in a traditional painting. I don't know how and I think it's cool when people do it.
proof that you don't need expensive art tools in order to create great art.
Achieved this way easier, bought myself a printer :D. Just kidding my friend, amazing work!
I am the printer ;)
Allan Barbeau I think your ego may be showing my friend, hahah.
Great work man, you have every right to have one !
Porco-Dio FIlm With that kind of talent, he's allowed to show his ego, hell, he should be screaming it out loud for the rest of the world to hear him! I'm totally blown away by this!

I admire your patience.
TRULY INCREDIBLE WORK!!!!!
What's the length of time it took you to finish this?
Jeez dude, how many pens do you own?!?! this is incredible!
Excellent !!! Looks exactly like a camera shot..I have never seen anything like it ^_^
That's a whole nother level sir! Wow!
Your complete attention and acceptation to detail is uncanny... Beautifully done. I LOVE Jack Sparrow! (AKA: Johnny Depp) I wish I could buy that drawing you just did. I'd frame it and keep it forever! :3
21 x 29.7 cm prints are available for €20 ;)
Allan Barbeau That all? Wow, I'd pay a lot more...
chiikuroshitsuji elfenspice well, before photography was invented, rich people would pay fortunes for photorealistic paintings... but after photography, photorealism lost space.
That's just incredible man
This is not possible for mere mortal hands! Outstanding!!
Speechless. Could you please tell me what brand of ball point pen you use for the skin tones?
...the side of your hand must be VERY colorfull XD wow this is just breath taking!!! you are an amazing artist! Keep er up!
It is ballpoint pen work so, no colours on my hand ;)
o.o id think ink would be all over u! does it dry that fast? lol i never use ball point XD
I draw alot I saw your drawings and I did my family portrait and it turned out really well are you self tought or did you take classes I have drawn cartoon character to film stars Iam glad you have open my eyes to biro pen art many of my friends say you can't tell a photo and my drawing apart but I can I have subscribed to your channel you never stop learning how long does it take you to do Johnny Depp

that's amazing, looks like print
it looks like a photo its amazing
Beyond amazing. what was the tool that looked like a pen that you used to blend with at the beginning?
Thanks !! No blending tool. Every pen you see are just ... pen :) One of them looks bigger cause it's a 4 colours pen. You know, with retractable cartridge .
The drawing was better than the actual photo
