5 out of 5 stars Great introduction to pen and ink   January 21, 2006
  14 out of 15 found this review helpful

As a non-artist who's trying to learn to be an artist, this book really helped me find a medium that worked for me, and no other book has inspired me to get to work learning to draw.

You'll need some experience sketching with pencil to make most of the drawings work, but the great pen-and-ink art in this book has inspired me to get better drawing with pencil.

Note that online auction sites usually have great deals on sets of Rapidograph pens. Don't pay full price!

I wish I had had this book years ago. It would have saved me lots of mistakes and given me the courage to pursue my passion sooner.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for Beginners   March 13, 2004

This is an awesome book, especially for those just learning to draw with ink. It has hand control exercises and shows all the basic strokes. A great feature of the book is the progessive projects. And the tips about using your fine technical pen are very helpful. Claudia Nice's work is beautiful. This book makes it simple and rewarding to pick up a pen.

I borrowed this book from the library and used it so extensively for three weeks that I decided to buy my own copy. The book contains information on tools and techniques with instructions and lessons for both beginners and more accomplished artists. I feel it is a good reference that I will go back to again and again.


5 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for a newbie   June 4, 2000

Having picked up a drawing pen after many long years (actually my last drawing instrument was a made by Crayola!) I found this book to be very helpful in learning the basics, fiding materials, and simply getting started. I have found it worth every cent I paid for it.
