By Henry C. Pitz

The Book in Three Sentences:  Henry C. Pitz was a student of Howard Pyle, and the books he has written are not only technique books, but glimpses into the training the famous Brandywyn students received from the great master.  This book is filled with many great techniques although limited in step-by-step breakdowns.  The explanations are thorough and his discussion is heavily leaning on pictorial illustration so not only are you learning about the craft of inking, but you are also getting a great lesson on composing pictures.
