Riyablue is an artist and design student whose practice focuses on detailed Bic pen drawings.

The use of ink initially emerged as a way to practise confidence and commitment in mark-making, working without the possibility of erasing. Over time, this approach became central to their drawing process.

Their background in design informs decisions around composition and structure, while a year of studying biology has influenced the organic qualities present in the work.

By working with a simple, everyday tool, the drawing process remains slow and methodical, with images developing through repetition and accumulation of lines. This portfolio presents selected works alongside insights into process, reflecting an interest in drawing as both a technical exercise and an exploratory practice.
