Pen drawing and pen draughtsmen, their work and their methods; a study of the art to-day, with technical suggestions

Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1894 · London, New York, Macmillan and company · 33 pictures

Pennell's 1894 study, published in London and New York by Macmillan, surveys contemporary pen drawing and its practitioners for artists and students of illustration. The plates show varied pen-and-ink techniques, from loose hatched sketches of seated figures and interiors to crisp outline drawings of outdoor scenes, giving a designer a range of line-work approaches to compare, from dense cross-hatching to open contour.
