Elliott Banfield uses Photoshop to digitally create stunning, ink-and-pen-like drawings reminiscent of engravings that were once possible to produce only through the use of non-digital materials like charcoal. This was a messy process and resulting images were hard to recreate and reproduce in bulk (i.e. for publication). Elliott’s personally developed methods will appeal to those who want to create the old-timey aesthetic of ink-and-pen engravings in a much tidier, more easily repoduced digital method. The book will be accompanied by downloadable versions of all of the tools and shortcuts that Elliott has developed using Photoshop.
