Framed Ink focus is on composition.
I don't think you need How To Draw if you still didn't learn what is on Ernest Norling book.
There is a article here on Drawabox about How to Draw book and one of the messages is that H2D book is not mandatory, you need to choose your goal before.
Thx I didn't know that framed ink is about composition.
For the article about H2D. I will read it and keep in mind that I should read the book from norling and to be honest I'm quite hyped to read that book. Thank you for the recommendations!
You can see it without buying, going to a book store or going somewhere on internet.
I totally agree with the article when it says "How to Draw" title is a siren song.
I believe if the title had the word "perspective" not even 50% of people who think they need it would be interested.
People really don't like perspective and I kind of understand it. Well perspective can be the most fun of all the fundamentals......well as soon as your brain understands it.
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
