Ballpoint Pen Sketch Prompt

Use ChatGPT, replace [CHARACTER] with your subject, and run the prompt directly to generate the sketch.

A detailed ballpoint pen sketch of [CHARACTER] drawn on checkered notebook paper, 1080x1080. The drawing style is expressive and textured, showing fine pen strokes and cross-hatching. [CHARACTER] is depicted with slightly exaggerated proportions — big expressive eyes and distinctive features — in a humorous but artistic caricature style. The background is simple checkered paper with no logos or text, giving it a clean hand-drawn notebook look.

How to Use
Only replace [CHARACTER] with the person or figure you want to draw, keeping all other descriptions unchanged to maintain the ballpoint pen texture, notebook paper background, and caricature-style proportions.

Use Cases
This prompt is commonly used for character concept sketches, playful caricatures, notebook-style illustrations, visual brainstorming, and casual portrait studies where a hand-drawn, imperfect pen aesthetic is preferred over clean digital rendering.
