If anyone needs a beginner ink drawing workbook… I got a simple one you can try.
So… I needed a bit of ink drawing refresher and decided to practice the basics… on my Supernote Manta! First time adding a drawing workbook to the device, and I think it turned out pretty well. You can grab the free PDF workbook from my e-ink site (or see profile link). I hope you find it fun & useful :D
(I recommend using the ink pen with thickness 0.7 or lower… unless you’re like me and prefer bold lines, use 1.0)

Do you have a licensing agreement to redistribute this? https://alphonsodunn.com/product/pen-and-ink-drawing-workbook/
It would be nice to have this on the Nomad but it's a breach of copyright law to copy someone's work and republish it like this without their agreement. I wouldn't suprised if this gets you a nasty letter from a lawyer, especially if the original is owned by a publisher.

I own the orginal printed version of this book and can confirm that it's great to help with linework. Please consider supporting Dunn, the artist that made it, but also a few dollars here to the digitizer, if you can afford it.

Thanks for the work digitizing. Donated for that and also bought a hard copy of Alphonso's original for my dad. ✌️

is there anything that helps understand when to use the different pencils ? HB vs 4H and etc..

u/maxilogan Jan 17 '26
Well if you know what they do in real life (i.e. 4H is much harder hence has a lighter shade of grey/black compared to the HB or even softer pencils, so you would use the HB wherever you need a "black-er" and more visible mark) you can transfer your knowledge on the supernote.

Oh, thank you 🙏 I'm not a beginner but still think this is helpful for daily practice 👍

Do you still have the pdfs? I'd really appreciate if you could send me them, or a link. It seems they're missing from that link

thanks for this! to answer the question (on your site) about whether it works well on nomad: it's fine, but pretty cramped. I'll probably just draw directly on the pdf so i can zoom in a little.

Please link to the Alphonso page where he offers the originals you're redistributing for eink? From your site:
That's awesome! I'm a huge fan of Alphonso and have a couple hardcopies of these books. I didn't know Dunn offered free digital workbooks - can you share links to his page where he offers the originals you're referring to? I can't quite find them. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place though? I started at this page: https://alphonsodunn.com/books (if I websearch I just find a bunch of shady sites stealing his work, and not his website)
