Hey guys, a really useful pen and ink book imho is Alphonso Dunn's book and specifically workbook. He has some amazing excercises in there that I love doing. Peter's Dynamic Bible is excellent and my copy is getting pretty beat up from being carried around and read so much. Alphonso's soft cover workbook is a great way to fill a quick 15 minute break with an easy pen and ink session. I like that you do the work right in the book. I'll share the cover and some of my completed pages.

Marshall Vandruff

Peter Han demonstrates "straight line discipline," a method to develop control and confidence in drawing through consistent line exercises with felt-tip pens. By practicing precise, evenly spaced lines, artists build muscle memory, line economy, and spatial awareness. Peter stresses a relaxed grip and physical awareness to prevent strain, making this daily practice an essential warm-up for artists at all levels.

I'm working through Drawabox, and found this interview to provide very valuable context for the superimposed line exercise especially (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzGmoJanhbQ), but also for the ghosted line exercises since Comfy is a student of Peter. I hope you'll consider making this video one of the free offerings so it can be shared with students over there. I've been doing the superimposed lines exercise as a part of my routine warm up for the past few days, but see the opportunity to hone on intuition by doing freehand spacing instead of pre-drawing the guides Also I've been doing the exact posture he described himself as doing leaning into the table and looking down on the paper, and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't lose much accuracy with leaning back and lightening up. Great video.
