Summary: A Must Have!
Comment: If you love the subject of pen & ink, you'll no doubt love this book. It contains one of the most thorough collection of basic pen strokes, and an impressive variety of styles: from simple portraits to highly elaborate fantasy art. One of my favorite parts is showing how a drawing shall look incorporating a variety of different pen strokes with each of 24 renderings. This chapter concludes with a reproducable sketch that can be used by the student to explore the exercises. A book replete with examples and exercises. Highly recommended!

Summary: Good Introduction to Technical Pen techniques
Comment: This is one of the first books I picked up on the topic of Technical Pen illustration. The author (who is apparently known for his work with equine illustrations in pen and ink) is quite accomplished and provides a great introduction to the technical pen and its many uses in art. Decidedly missing much on the lines of brushwork in ink (not watercolor, of course) and it's possibilities, but, then, this is a book on the technical pen (not the brush). I rate this 4 stars because not enough time is spent identifying many of the basic styles and the author tends to stray from style to style in his illustrations. This makes for confusing stylization (ie: shifting from parallel line to scross-hatch to stipple) for the beginning technical pen artist.

Summary: Must Have for any Pen and Ink Enthusiast/Artist!!
Comment: This book is simply amazing! Author Gary Simmons has delivered a perfectly organized and extremely informative book on the techniques of the technical pen. Simmons starts with the basics of the technical pen and walks the reader through the various techniques and even concludes with a chapter on the use of color. I couldn't recommend this book more...if you don't have it already, GET IT NOW!
