Pen and Ink Drawing Workbook: Volume 2

Really enjoy the exercises in this book!Pages are really good quality.

Great exercises to get your hand drawing

I kept looking at this workbook but felt it was a little over my budget however I bought it as a birthday gift and wow, it was a 6 week course of tips, practice and more practice. I did each activity, sometimes more than once and it took my artwork to a whole new level. I’m so glad I invested in me, if you have a little skill in drawing then you’d probably benefit, it might be tricky if you’ve never drawn before however don’t let that stop you.Don’t look at this as just a book. It really is a course in its own right & I teach! Invest in yourself, you won’t regret it! Have fun xThank you Mr Dunn x

They are well thought out, nice and easy to follow

Exercises on pen control, the uses of shading, textures, values etc. There are around 20 drawing exercises at the which build on the techniques previously shown but this is not a book which shows you how to draw objects; it's more about how to add definition and texture using Pen and ink (although I use pencil too and the tips work just as well) For a beginner it is a useful workbook to learn and try out different techniques and for building up muscle memory. This is complementary to the main book "Pen & Ink Drawing: a simple guide", however I have only bought the workbook and have been able to use this as a stand alone. Four stars as perhaps a little expensive for a workbook but I have enjoyed Alphonso Dunn's You Tube demos so it's probably a fair price to pay.

I was interested in learning pen and ink drawings so I bought Alphonso’s ‘A simple guide’. It made me scratch my head a lot. This workbook bought all the ‘simple guide’ into understanding. I recommend if you’re buying the ‘ simple guide’ also purchase the workbook. It has shown me what is meant when it says to gradually develop shading from two or three values with a wider range what options are available. If you want to just build up your strokes through drills and exercises. This book guides you through over 100 drills and exercises

I bought this book because I wanted to join in with Inktober, but have no clue about how to draw. This workbook is a really good introduction, and explained some basic things that were amazing to me (e.g. how different line widths can show which side the light is coming from).I was worried that you might have to buy the accompanying Pen and Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide for the workbook to make sense, but it seems to function perfectly well as a stand-alone item.I spent a long time looking through all the pen-and-ink books on Amazon, and am very pleased with my decision to buy this one.

There are just tons of exercises here which slowly build up your skills from nothing to something quite impressive. I prefer to use a sketchbook so I can do multiple copies of the exercises. A half hour here and there and I have made rapid progress. I also like that AD's sketches illustrate isolated ideas so you can really see the effect of particular strokes. This book has also given me the ability to look at other artists' work and see how images are made. If you're put off by the cover, don't be: it'll have you drawing far more interesting things than a burger. I'm only 20% in and feel I've had more than my money's worth.
