Pen drawing and pen draughtsmen : their work and their methods : a study of the art today with technical suggestions
Pen Drawing and Pen Draughtsmen is a 1920 New York study of pen illustration by Joseph Pennell, a practising illustrator, written for artists and students who want technical guidance. Its plates show pen-and-ink work in several manners: a rotated battle scene with spearmen and horsemen in dense hatching, a shadowy garden or yard with figures, a loose sketch of children playing on a sandy shore, and a seated woman reading in an upholstered interior. A designer could take from them the range of mark-making, from crisp parallel hatching to scratchy, unfinished line and open white space.
