What a brilliant book! I can imagine him teaching these skills in person (his background includes teaching college level art classes). The book is not only full of excellent examples of his art, but also contains practice routines, helpful advice and motivational content. Chapters include a basic guide to supplies; basic pen strokes; shading techniques; textural basics; "sketchbooking"; stages of a finished drawing and " the secret line of balance". I'd highly recommend this book to anyone interested in developing their pen and ink drawing skills. Review: I couldn't believe what had just come out of my pen and how well explained and useful and concise his videos are - I bought this guys book because his tutorials on youtube are second to non I literally went from a horrendous drawer to something approaching half decent simply by watching one of his playlists, I couldn't believe what had just come out of my pen and how well explained and useful and concise his videos are. I am forever indebted to this man for giving me a new passion for something which previously seemed completely out of reach. To thank him, and also because I seem to learn from him really well from him I purchased this book. The cost was arbitrary as I felt like I already owed him money for teaching me to draw! I'm going to be quite honest now, I really like the book it lays things out in a very pleasant way its really easy to look at and nicely presented. The drawings are really inspiring and a lot of the things in the videos are presented which is nice as it gives a good chance to study close up techniques from the videos. For me personally I actually found the book less useful than the videos in terms of learning, and honestly not sure if this is a fault of the book or testament to the videos or just the way I learn. I do wish it had been bound, I'm not sure anyone ever does this but its something that really annoys me with book on a practical skills, why give them a spine making keeping them open a bit of a nightmare when the publisher/author (whoever makes that decision) clearly should know you will need your hands free while using it. I also would have liked to have seen more step by step examples on more of the textures and techniques although there are plenty already, I think these are the most inspiring for me anyway because you feel like you can have a go at whatever it is, following each stage, however there is plenty of this, I just wish there was more. Also a lot of things in the books are already covered in the videos so the crossover of knowledge meant some of the information was a bit redundant to me as an avid viewer of the YT channel. TL/DR A fantastic teacher of drawing, deserves every success for passing his extensive knowledge of drawing on via youtube and this accompanying book, I have some small gripes with the book,but I still love it, think it was absolutely worth the money and have really enjoyed reading and working though it. Maybe would have been a 4 star review on book alone had I not gained so much from the video tutorials already and feel like that fantastic FREE content is easily worth double the price I payed for the book. Alphonso Dunn when you release more books I will buy them instantly, I watched every video you made and am so so so happy with my drawing currently, I cant express it enough, you gave me a new life skill.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended new approach to learning how to draw *by A***R on 3 February 2016* An easy to read and entertaining introduction into drawing. It is not only for beginners, but for all who want to improve their drawing (who doesn't?). Contrary to other books with a similar subject Dunn explains all the basic ingredients that finally make a drawing, like different strokes, shading, textures, forms etc. Even if you think you are good at drawing already, he gives you always some new ideas to try out. This is a unique approach as he focusses not so much on the final product (like "How to draw a cat, a house etc.") but more on the techniques that enable you to draw basically anything. -- He also give you valuable tips on how to make progress with your work - other authors will leave you alone with that. --- What I missed were at least some short notes on perspectives and proportions. Other books will help you there as will Dunn's own YouTube channel. Perhaps he will take this up in his next book (where I also like to learn more about coloring your drawings). But for now this is an excellent book that I can highly recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pen and Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide - Pen and Ink Drawing Workbook - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack --- ## 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.pl/products/48319864-pen-and-ink-drawing-a-simple-guide](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/48319864-pen-and-ink-drawing-a-simple-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
