Besides noting art materials, it includes tips for sketching, doodling, drawing outdoors and even sketching on trips. Photos of some of the author’s drawings are also included.

    Introduction

    Pen and ink drawing is a fun and affordable hobby for creating beautiful artwork. It’s also portable and convenient because your supplies are few as the basic tools are pens and paper. In fact, I’ve even sketched from reference photos as a passenger on car trips.
