Local artist Rahul Jain has created some tutorials for those looking to get started with drawing in pen and ink. The tutorials begin with step by step instructions on how to draw several elements of nature such as tree trunks and foliage and then move on to combine the individual elements into a landscape drawing. Templates can be downloaded and printed to use as a guide to learn and improve techniques.

Drawing simple landscapes with pen and ink is a great way to spend your time creatively and is surprisingly easy to learn.
