Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn

http://artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=371868 Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn is one of my favorite artist of history. He however did many of his paintings using dark colors unlike this bright red ballpoint pen drawing. I did however capture a likeness from the self portrait painting he did that looks much like this picture. I thought another colored frame would work better than this black and red one yet I tried it anyway.
A ballpoint has the largest ink reserve of all pen systems throughout hostory. That really makes an ink drawing like this work much better becaue miles of lines or color can be piled on the page. Bold flowing dark red lines or areas make up this great drawing. Quick or bold flowing lines certain mark what a ballpoint pen can do other system simply can't do.
