Long Hair Girl Ballpoint Pen Drawing (by Helena Hauss)

Helena Hauss, 27 years old, Parisian Illustrator.
Drawing is her passion and spend most of my days doing it.
She draw very large pieces of art (usually around 100cm x 70cm) that allow her to really go into details of hair, patterns and typography, all in bic pens, with bright and contrasted colors.
Her style of drawing has never been something quite conscious. It just kind of happened, for different reasons that had nothing to do with choice. For exemple, she has always had a big attraction for the color blue, so much so that all her clothes and accessories were a shade of it,
so when she drew she very much liked using blue ink, such as the one found in bic pens.

Besides, she first started drawing abundantly all through high school in my exercice books rather than writing down what the teacher was saying, and using bic pens was always a good way not to get caught when being watched from afar ! As she grew up however, she started experimenting with other medium, but never finding herself quite at ease with them as she feel with biro pens, to which she has grown so accustomed. Indeed, no other medium allows her to put so much emphasis and details into hair, reflects and patterns as she so much love to do. In the beginning she used to feel a little bit ashamed for using ball-point pens, like she didn't feel like a real artist, but in more recent years she noticed it became kind of a trend and she got to embrace it, as it felt this was actually exactly the right time and the right place to do just that !
