4.0 out of 5 stars
Quick starter guide to pen and ink,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pen & Ink Techniques (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
This is a simple and straightforward book for anyone who wants to learn drawing with pen and ink. Half of the book is in tutorial style with techniques that are easy to follow. It covers the usual types of line hatching and more importantly how to make your illustration more picturesque. The other half of the book is sort of a gallery but rather limited in variety. Still there are plenty of accompanying tips. This book covers mainly drawing architectural stuff, animals, boats, the usual topics cover by pen and ink. The coverage on portrait drawing is limited at best, and the result doesn't seem too good either. It's a quick starter guide recommended for beginners. (There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)
