Pen and Ink Drawing Workbook Review: Art Class in a Book - I've always been into art, but never went through a class, and most books I tried were too frustrating to finish. Due to adult responsibilities and a move, I took about 1 1/2yrs to go through this book from start to finish. The pictures attached were completed on my own as I was working on the last section of this workbook. Before this book, my drawings had inconsistent results, and I didn't touch ink for the same reasons most people don't- it's intimidating. Now I love it! The author makes it feel so approachable. Now I do recommend the accompanying book too. It's worth the cost. But the workbook is more valuable in my opinion. He has many exercises that build strength and skill in an effective way. As a teacher myself (not art) I appreciate the author's teaching skills as well as his artistic ability. And that's honestly what makes this book so amazing. Many art instruction books are written by very good arts, but that doesn't mean they know anything about teaching. It doesn't matter how good a person is at something, if they can't teach effectively, the student is going to struggle to learn. Mr. Dunn will teach you not just about ink, but so much more about art in general. You'll learn about form, value, texture, composition (in the main book), and more. The only basic principle he doesn't cover is color, for obvious reasons, and I do believe he has a video about that on YouTube. This workbook has not only improved my ink skills, but has taught me much that I've been able to apply to other mediums. There's one down side, and it's not the author's fault. The publisher could have done a better job. I won't complain too much about the paper. It's not the best, but it would be very expensive for them to print it on high quality art paper, and this is a workbook; it's not meant for you to take it out and frame it. However, there are a few projects in the back where the publisher altered the shape slightly in order to make it fit on the page. It seems like a small adjustment, but on the bird drawing, the propertions are a little off, and it does affect the end result. It's minor complaint, but one worth noting. Here's some of my favorite features about this workbook: -treats the consumer like an equal who can learn if so desired (non of this gatekeeping nonsense some artists do) -sufficient explanations, and excellent if you pair it with the instruction book -skill and pen control exercises -opportunities to self evaluate -teaches you HOW to draw, not just to copy his work -because of the above, you're free to explore and develop your own style as you go -provides tracings and outlines for projects. Even if you feel confident in doing it yourself, this reduces the time spent and allows you to just focus on your ink skills -ends with projects that give you confidence to branch out and continue learning on your own Review: This Book Guides My Pen & Ink Practice Very Well - I bought Mr. Dunn's book and after getting into it I decided to get this workbook, too. I like both books because the format is easy to follow and because just a few pages in I started getting the results I wanted in my drawing practice. I have tried pen & ink from time to time over the years but never quite got the results I wanted. Dunn's books are getting me on the right track. Best of all I can use the pens and paper I already have. No big cash outlay for special materials. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,009 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #23 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching #29 in Pencil Drawing #42 in Pen & Ink Drawing | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,363) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.32 x 11 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0997046503 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0997046502 | | Item Weight | 12.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Pen and Ink Drawing | | Print length | 140 pages | | Publication date | August 4, 2018 | | Publisher | Three Minds Press | ## Images ![Pen and Ink Drawing Workbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LhbadDOWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Art Class in a Book *by J***M on November 29, 2024* I've always been into art, but never went through a class, and most books I tried were too frustrating to finish.

The instructor mentioned that this workbook had some good exercises, so I ordered it. (I do not own the book which this workbook was designed to accompany.) Since getting the workbook a month ago, I have worked my way through the first 64 pages of exercises, almost halfway through now. The step-by-step exercises are truly excellent for building control over the pen, including practicing techniques to achieve different tones, how to emphasize parts of a composition, and how to render artistically. Each progression includes an example (unless the exercise is to extend skills learned in the preceding exercise), some extra guidance where needed, and space to do the exercise right in the workbook. Note that the paper stock in the workbook is okay for technical pens; I found the paper a bit too absorbent for a fountain pen. (I've been using Sakura Pigma Micron and a Copic Multiliner pen in the workbook.) ## Frequently Bought Together - Pen and Ink Drawing Workbook - Pen and Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing or Drawing - Holiday Gifts for Artists, Crafters & DIY Gifts Projects - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/72106220-pen-and-ink-drawing-workbook](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/72106220-pen-and-ink-drawing-workbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
