The illustrations found in this book are so small, you literally need a magnifying glass to study most of them.If you are looking for some instruction in how to develop your own composition, technics, or style, you'll find books like "Rendering In Pen and Ink," or "The Technical Pen" much more beneficial. Both have numerous full page . "Review of The Art and Techniqu of Pen Drawing" according to Christy Steele. Before I bought this book I had absolutely no experience in ink drawing, but had always wanted to try it out.

I personally find ink drawing much more enjoyable.
