Ballpoint Female Portrait Drawing for Sale

This ballpoint female portrait drawing is an original work by contemporary artist Dario Moschetta. Created using a blue ballpoint pen on 90 gsm paper, it portrays a serene female figure in side profile, rendered with exceptional control and fluidity. The piece captures both strength and vulnerability through fine cross-hatching and delicate tonal balance.

The artist’s mastery of gesture and texture turns an everyday tool like a pen into an expressive medium. Every line contributes to the sense of light and form, creating a portrait that feels both classical and modern — minimal in composition yet rich in emotion.

About the Technique

Ballpoint drawings are one of Moschetta’s signature techniques, known for their precision and depth. This piece demonstrates how blue ink can evoke atmosphere and silence, blurring the line between drawing and painting. Each stroke carries intent, showing a patient build-up of tone rather than speed or improvisation.
