The first book on illustration linework.

This book, it's the first one I got as a Teen.

Fully recommend this book for all skill levels, to give the full Couch Gregor experience. With handling the fundamental principles. Along with what James Gurney has written.

This is more a fundamental to the comic book inking course, with the understanding and ideas in regard to the learning it's required for a pen-and-ink illustrator.

One of the first books, I was clueless of the hours it'd take with producing these illustrations, along with the planning and ink it took to take an ancient craft into using two tones. One black, that's all it takes. The constraint is what makes it the most alluring.

The creativity is what inspired me to try to medium, planting me linear inclinations as of this day.

What Guptil has written on style and the craft is his and his alone. That's what got hi. Out of mediocre.
