I started a small sketchbook (Hahnemuhle Nostalgie) to practice pen and ink drawings by the legendary illustrator Franklin Booth. He was a master of linework and drawing, and I hope to gain some skills by imitation. Instead of a dip pen, though, I’ll use my Lumos Pro and Lumos Duo refillable felt tip pens by Tom’s Studio as well as my trusty Indigraph. Booth probably worked much larger than the printed image, so I’m either picking illustrations I can simplify or only doing a small selection. I’ve struggled with the darkest areas, so I know I’ll learn a lot if I stick with this.
