Technique
To speed up the shading process, I have fitted a rotary tattoo machine with a ballpoint pen barrel, spring, and ink cartridge. It has taken much experimentation with various tattoo machines and pen cartridges, to land on a package that performs consistently but the result has been a really fun tool for achieving a unique effect.The racquetball is used in place of a traditional metal grip, which is much heavier and taxing to hold after extended use.
