Discover the foundations of traditional ink sketching with concept artist Aaron Limonick. You’ll explore core techniques like hatching, stippling, layered values, ink-and-water gradients, and mixed-media combinations through a series of small, practical drawing exercises that quickly build skill and intuition. Along the way, Aaron teaches you how to analyze value, use perspective purposefully, and bring clarity to your compositions. By the end you’ll have several finished sketches, as well as the confidence to use a range of styles and ink-based tools. You’ll also get a simple materials guide covering the the pens, papers, and tools Aaron recommends.
