Pen and ink were never my preferred tool, it was only when I was told I rubbed out too much when using a pencil and told to draw with a pen to improve my first-hand studying skills that I really understood what you could do with it. Biro became my preferred pen to use starting off with biro portraits of my favourite rockstars which progressed into tattoo designs. I began to experiment more with the expressive side of pen and ink when I went to university after years of very precise formal drawing which bred a new style that I am still experimenting with today but I still partake in the rockstar portraits every once and a while.
