Hey Alphonso, I bought your book yesterday, but it will take some weeks to arrive at Brazil. Can't wait to read and get my pens going! I follow your videos since 2015 and I am very glad with all your teaching. Thanks man.
Alphonso, I know you hear this all the time, but thank you. Thank you so much for all of your videos and information you provide to this UA-cam community. You explain things so well and thoroughly that I'm actually understanding how to create on my own, instead of relying on others' art.
People like me are so lucky to have people like you share such amazing insight such as this. Tried to go to college last Sept and it flopped amazingly but thanks to you I can still further my passion. Please don't stop!
I love your sincerity in your purpose for sharing art tips. What I love most about your channel is your videos of drawing and painting beautiful, unique flowers 💞 your videos are inspiring!
Just purchased your book. Thank you! It is fantastic! You are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your skills and talent. Looking forward to the workbook 😀
I have always been put off drawing trees with detail because they never seem to look good but listening to you & watching this video has made it look easier. If I can just apply what has been shown, mine will look what I want them to look like... trees.
I recently bought your book after having watched some of your videos, and it's amazing! I still need to go through the rest but your book has already helped me improve a lot. Keep up the good work, you're a great artist and teacher mate.
Great video as usual, and the quick tips text and numbered hints are a great addition to your videos. You may have already noticed but there are a couple of mistakes in the texts at 4:40 and 5:50. Don’t know if you can do something about it now, and it doesn’t take away anything from quality content you’ve given us anyway. I have your book and looking forward to getting the workbook, really grateful for these videos
Thanks for the tips. I recently make a point of practicing drawing trees. I'm interested in how you would render a tree full of fruits (like a lemon tree). There are too many objects (fruit, trees, a lot of branches) that I don't know how to make them look 3D.
Yes!! Another video about trees! Thanks for this! I’m curious to how did you find your own personal or individual drawing style. I feel like my style is very all over the place and not well established.
Just a quick hello and letting you know i still watch your vids and guess what? My tattoos are getting BETTER AND BETTER!!! You taught me how to FEEEEEL the form of objects that I line and shade. Its POWERFUL :) Theres no words to Thank You for that GIFT enough!!! HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH U!!! Almost Half a MILLION SUBSCRIBERS WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW get outta here :) i cant even imagine how u keep up!!!!!!!
SUPER DUPER MAN!!! :))) When i can feel the form like you always talk about while creating its very exciting. THX FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGEMENT U ARE A VERY SPECIAL PERSON IN MY LIFE :) Do you ever have any real life seminars or events going on? I'll be in the USA some day again sooo!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been incredibly helpful, trees give me a lot of hassle and this video has really helped me understand their form and the technique a lot better, thank you!
Man, You are a very good teacher! You got across so many great things there in such a small amount of time. I'm looking forward to practicing these skills this year. Thanks, I'll have to give Your book a serious look. Have fun drawing.
Sazazezer I did it for my interior design project i got the concept, but still became train wreck. Would love to improve the project. Thanks in advance.
This helped so much! An even harder challenge to me seems to be a large leafless tree. All the interweaving little branches and shadowplay, how would you approach something like that? Mine often just look like leafed trees, because the bunched up little branches start to look like clumps of leaves.
Brilliant advice in its simplicity . You are a very good teacher. Your gift is not art but teaching imo :) , don't get me wrong, you are a great artist and I love the book btw (looking forward to the next one), but there are plenty of great artists but fewer great teachers. Thank you for sharing your gift with us :)
one thing that helped me a lot was to pencil sketch the entire "skeleton" limb structure of the tree first, then fill in the leaf clusters and visible branches with ink.
I've been watching your youtube videos and also following your Pen & Ink Drawing book. Using both is brilliant and really helping my drawing. Will you be publishing any more books?
Alphonso Dunn great look forward to purchasing, those books, keep the great work up, you are a fantastic artist and teacher, I just see everything in shapes ha ha ha ha ha ha 😁
I would love to see a similar quick and digestible video for making characters/figure drawings look 3D, or at least a comparison between reasons why some drawings look more flat instead of 3D.
Do you have tips for drawing really scrubby, sparse-leaved, thin-twigged crappy trees? I live in Australia and a lot of our trees aren’t those beautiful solid shapes; they are just a mess of twigs and tiny crappy leaves.
Hey Alphonso, I bought your book yesterday, but it will take some weeks to arrive at Brazil. Can't wait to read and get my pens going! I follow your videos since 2015 and I am very glad with all your teaching. Thanks man.
Hey how much would you say your art had improved since then
Alphonso, I know you hear this all the time, but thank you. Thank you so much for all of your videos and information you provide to this UA-cam community. You explain things so well and thoroughly that I'm actually understanding how to create on my own, instead of relying on others' art.

Very welcome
Thickening the lines on the bottom... But of course. So obvious. Thank you again. 🤩
Very nice. Thanks.
Thanks much
another great tutorial!
Thanks
I'm interested in how you would do a interior stone or pebble wall with water running down it.
That could be another video : )
Seconded. That's sounds very tricky so would love some tips on it.
Sazazezer I did it for my interior design project i got the concept, but still became train wreck. Would love to improve the project. Thanks in advance.
Hearing you be so passionate about drawing a tree 🌳 inspires me to draw but also study my subject ☺️
: ) studying is important
That helped a lot! Thank you!
Your videos are useful and inspiring ❤️
Very informative! Thanks for sharing!
Very welcome
Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorialsyou do. You are a good teacher. Please send INFO on your own and ink book. Thanks. Vickey S.
I just bought your book can’t wait to start. Thank you for the wonderful videos, very helpful
This helped so much! An even harder challenge to me seems to be a large leafless tree. All the interweaving little branches and shadowplay, how would you approach something like that? Mine often just look like leafed trees, because the bunched up little branches start to look like clumps of leaves.
Thank you
Thank you this was a fun tutorial. My first time drawing trees.
Dammit!! I never thought of that, leaving a space in the leaf bundles on the tree to make them one unit. 👏👏
I always use your videos for reference
: )
wowwowowow - the shading tip... THANK YOU!!! you are so amazing for sharing this insight, I can't wait to apply it!
Brilliant advice in its simplicity . You are a very good teacher. Your gift is not art but teaching imo :) , don't get me wrong, you are a great artist and I love the book btw (looking forward to the next one), but there are plenty of great artists but fewer great teachers. Thank you for sharing your gift with us :)
I would recommend your book to anyone wanting to learn pen and ink drawing. Btw were you already into art before you left Yard?
Thank you so much, I love your book, it's support me a lot of times.
Thanks so much for supporting it
useful tips , thanks! Looking forward for the work book. I Need something to push me to work ! :)
Very useful! You are really a good teacher:))
Thanks
Alphonso, can you do a video where you draw a large complex tree or better a few trees?
thanks for the tips sir
Very welcome : )
Hair. I just like the way u explain about portrait drawings n it helps me a lot.. Can pls upload videos on realistic shading
Those will come
Thank you for this tutorial! Do you use Micron 005?
Yup, I do. It is one of my favorites
OK, thank you for answer!
Thankyou
Hey Dunn, quick question, what would you recommend starting first, figure drawing or anatomy drawing? Thank you!
BOTH
Learning becomes easy
one thing that helped me a lot was to pencil sketch the entire "skeleton" limb structure of the tree first, then fill in the leaf clusters and visible branches with ink.
THIS IS ALL I EVER NEEDED THANK YOU SO MUCH EEEE
Very welcome 🙂
Apart from your book that I am going to buy would you suggest any particular beginner book to complement your tutorials? Thx :-)
for drawing in general or medium?
Alphonso Dunn for drawing in general! :-) thanks!
Any thoughts? :)
The best !
I've been watching your youtube videos and also following your Pen & Ink Drawing book. Using both is brilliant and really helping my drawing. Will you be publishing any more books?
i will definitly buy your drawing book right now, but i would also like to have a pdf or e-pub version , is it possible ?
Thats coming
Excellent tutorial again, great to see your back, do you have another book coming out?
Yes a workbook and a beginners drawing book
Alphonso Dunn great look forward to purchasing, those books, keep the great work up, you are a fantastic artist and teacher, I just see everything in shapes ha ha ha ha ha ha 😁
awesome trees im going to sketch them now :D
: )
Is there a video dedicated to the "line of balance" concept?
Yes but I have to re do it
Alphonso Dunn ok, thanks!
Can you do a 'face features simplified' tutorial on ink?
useful as ever.
Yayyy
♥️ big fan
Thanks
Огромное спасибо!
MY GUY!
I would love to see a similar quick and digestible video for making characters/figure drawings look 3D, or at least a comparison between reasons why some drawings look more flat instead of 3D.
Not On My Christian Server! Great Idea, I'd love to see that as well.
Thank you! It's very helpfull, especially for the beginner like me :) Greetings from Russia! :)
You’re very welcome, glad I could help
Do you have tips for drawing really scrubby, sparse-leaved, thin-twigged crappy trees? I live in Australia and a lot of our trees aren’t those beautiful solid shapes; they are just a mess of twigs and tiny crappy leaves.
I would you draw a forest seen from a distance?
I have a tutorial on that
I missed it.
very nice vid
Will you make some tutorial about animal, like tiger,lion, wolf etc. Thanks :-D
Definitely
Alphonso Dunn thanks man
