Review:This has helped me get started in drawing simple things. I'm a calligrapher and feel like I have artistic ability but drawing does not come easy. My son is an artist too and figured this would help me get started... Read more

Review:The book has many pictures but is short on explanation and techniques. So the book isn't that enlightening. There are many other books published on Pen and Ink that are much more thorough and comprehensive. Read more
