Alphonso Dunn has written a clear, comprehensive, easy to understand guide to the basics of drawing. His book doesn't just cover the pen and ink technique, he touches on the foundations of drawing that make a piece go from "ok" to "Great!" His writing style is more conversational, so I felt like I was being coached by a friend instead of sitting in a lecture hall. A must-have in your art kit!

I have been following Alphonso for the past few months and his drawing instruction is superb. I have never related to any other instructor or teaching medium as well as I do to his methodologies. He teaches you how to see complex forms as they really are, simple forms made complex. He really has a passion for drawing and that love shows through in everything he does. He has spent most of his time teaching people for free and he put all of his knowledge into this wonderful book. This is a must own for any aspiring arist or even advanced artists who want to increase their competence in pen and ink.

Fantastic guide and an excellent companion to Mr Dunn's Youtube work which is a great series on drawing and rendering. His ability to break complex subjects down and build them from the ground up really shines in this book, which also has tons of examples and exercises.
