Using ballpoint pens to create artwork is not without limitations. Color availability and sensitivity of ink to light are among concerns of ballpoint pen artists. [53] Mistakes pose greater risks to ballpoint artists; once a line is drawn, it generally cannot be erased. [48] Additionally, "blobbing" of ink on the drawing surface and "skipping" of ink-flow require consideration when using ballpoint pens for artistic purposes. [44] Although the mechanics of ballpoint pens remain relatively unchanged, ink composition has evolved to solve certain problems over the years, resulting in unpredictable sensitivity to light and some extent of fading.

Ballpoint pens have proven to be a versatile art medium for professional artists as well as amateur doodlers. [42] Low cost, availability, and portability are cited by practitioners as qualities which make this common writing tool a convenient, alternative art supply. [43] Some artists use them within mixed-media works, while others use them solely as their medium-of-choice. [44]In general, the more viscous the ink, the faster it will dry, but more writing pressure needs to be applied to dispense ink. But although they are less viscous, hybrid inks have a faster drying time compared to normal ballpoint inks. Also, a larger ball dispenses more ink and thus increases drying time. a b Genocchio, Benjamin (10 August 2007). "To See the World in Ballpoint Pen". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331. OCLC 1645522.
