This artist uses ink to recreate the look of 19th century engravings

Artwork drawn in ink that looks like a medieval engraving.

Joshua Striker is a self-taught pen-and-ink artist based in Lakeland, Florida. His work draws on the engraving traditions of the 19th century French artist Gustave Doré and the detailed pen and ink artwork of Franklin Booth and Bernie Wrightson. He explores dark fantasy landscapes where solitary figures inhabit worlds of overwhelming scale and quiet dread.

Below, Joshua shows us five examples of his work. If you're inspired, see our guide to the best pens for artists and our pen drawing techniques and tips.
