I found this absolutely brilliant!
This portrait of a stunning redhead was done by Samuel Silva, a lawyer and self-taught artist from Portugal. Silva used 6 colored Bic ballpoint pens to make this 8” x 9” drawing. By crosshatching the strokes of just the 6 different colors in layers, Silva was able to create the illusion of blending, as well as the illusion of subtle shades of new colors on paper.
