Fix Your Faces: Ballpoint Portraits That Actually Look Right

Everything you need to create realistic ballpoint portraits, even if you’ve never drawn one before.

START NOW

"Realistic portraits require expensive tools." — that’s a myth.

You don't need 20 different pens to start. Just one good one.
You don't need a formal art degree to make facial features look right.
And you don't need "natural talent" to master hyper-realistic textures.

Creating a realistic portrait is about simple techniques, not complex gear.

In this course, I’ll demystify ballpoint portraiture step-by-step, from mastering ink pressure to perfecting proportions and fixing your faces with confidence.

Let’s begin. You’ve got this.

Realistic portraits are a skill, not a secret.

If you love drawing faces but struggle to make the proportions look right, this course is for you.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already using a ballpoint pen, you will learn the exact method to:

Master pen pressure and ink flow
Map out accurate facial features
Build smooth, hyper-realistic shading

Let’s bring your portraits to life — one stroke at a time.

Hi! I’m Michael Riley!

Born in the soulful, textured streets of New Orleans and raised under the creative pulse of Atlanta, my hands were busy with a pen long before my memory could even keep up.

What started as a childhood obsession with the "art class" hour quickly evolved into a lifelong search for precision. While other artists reached for expensive charcoals or oils, I found my true voice in the most unlikely place: a simple ballpoint pen.

I don’t believe you need a studio full of expensive supplies or "natural talent" to create world-class art. I believe you just need a 50-cent pen and a system that actually works.

For me, every portrait is an exploration of depth and every stroke is a deliberate choice. I’ve spent my life proving that greatness isn’t found in the tools you buy, but in the patience you possess and the system you follow.

I'm here to show you how to find that same precision in your own work, one ink-line at a time.

Imagine finally getting it right.

You sit down with a single pen and draw a face that actually looks like your reference.
No more guessing proportions—you know exactly where every feature belongs.
You build smooth, realistic shading without overworking the ink.

You don't have to just imagine it.

Today, you can stop struggling with faces that look "off." In this course, we’ll cover the exact ballpoint techniques you need to build realistic portraits with total confidence.

I’ll be with you every step of the way.

At the end of the course you will master:

The Proportion Blueprint

Master a repeatable mapping system so you never have to "guess" where a feature goes again.

The "Scribble" Technique

Simplify the complexity of hair into natural flow, volume, and realistic sheen using basic pen strokes.

Avoid the "Dead Eye" Effect

Learn to capture depth, moisture and anatomical accuracy to make your portraits feel alive.

Ballpoint Pressure Control

Move beyond harsh outlines to create soft skin gradients and subtle shadows with a single pen.

The Troubleshooting Framework

Develop the "artist’s eye" to instantly diagnose why a face looks off and how to fix it mid-drawing.
