Highly recommended

I really like this book. The explanations were concise and to the point, the diagrams were excellent illustrations of the techniques discussed, and I learned a lot from copying the pictures. I now look forward to putting those lessons to use in turning my own photographs into pen-and-ink sketches. Highly recommended for solo work.
