Introduction

Hello, My name is Doug Hawks.

In this blog I will provide step by step hints and tips for pen and ink drawing using examples of my own projects.

By way of introduction, let me say that I have a couple of interests; American History, primarily the American Revolution. Please visit my other blog at http://www.americanprivateer.blogspot.com/, to read a fictional journal compiled from the real life experiences of my ancestor Jacob Nutter who served with John Paul Jones during the American Revolution. Please also visit my other site for an on-line gallery of some of my pen and ink drawings at http://hawks.doug.googlepages.com/home.

For this first project I will describe the process for creating this image which, given the recent state of the auto industry I have titled - "Deep Weeds for the US Auto Industry". You can click on the image to see a larger view.
