This book is an excellent resource for learning how to use the medium to create texture, shading and detail without looking cartoony. An excellent addition to my reference library.. "Love this book!" according to Julie. This book has such a simple title, but when you open it, it shows some very technical drawings with pen and ink.

"Wonderful Pen & Ink" according to Acorn. I enjoy drawing with ink. This book has so many examples of exceptional quality! It will make your fingers itch to try them all. The detail is wonderful. It's a book I go to frequently for references in drawing different objects. Fellow students have seen the book and ordered their own copies. I'll be looking for more books by Claudia Nice.
