I'm so happy I stumbled upon your channel, you're so helpful! You're whole channel has taught me more than high school art 1, art 2, and art 3 has taught me! Thank you!!
Thanks so much! Glad I was able to help : )
I had a friend who taught high school art. She was not able to teach as the students' bad manners got in the way. The principal would not allow the students to be grouped by ability and the classes had too many students. I'm glad that you have You Tube and the internet!
From Spain: you are a great teacher. (I bought the book in Amazon)
thank you!!
E yo también soy español saludos desde castilla y león 😁
David M huh?

I seldom leave comments on videos, only on the truly exceptional and your videos are just that. I will try to keep this short. I wanted with all my heart, as teen, to be an artist. But I had really bad ADHD. I lacked the focus and patience needed to learn. I took art in high school and was heartbroken at my lack of success. I gave up that dream and turned my creativity to many forms of crafting. I am now 63 years old and over the course of my life I have learned how to overcome much of my attention deficit. I stumbled on your videos. They are perfect for me. You explain everything so clearly while simultaneously demonstrating the principles. I am going to start drawing again. I'm saving up to buy your books (I'm on disability and my income is limited,) In the meantime I will keep watching your videos and practicing what you teach. Thank you for being so generous with your videos. You have the eye and heart of an artist combined with the soul of a teacher.
Alphonso, I suggest to all of my printmaking students that they should watch your videos and own your book. (pen and ink translates easily into an intaglio print.) the care you take in describing how to see and draw is amazing. any artist can benefit from your words, whatever medium they choose to work in.
Thanks so much! That means so much to me :-)
I recently wanted to learn to crosshatch, but I couldn’t figure out how. This video taught me a lot and I improved really quickly! Thank you!
Just came by to say thanks. Thanks for an amazing book such as Pen and Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide. It's been a blast reading and learning. Cheers!
Great thanks
okkkkk
This is old. Owner probably does not care enough to reply.
Alfonso, I ordered your book and it put me on my way to becoming a really good pen and ink artist! I took one class locally, then worked through your workbook and it was like magic for me, turned on all the lightbulbs I needed. Thank you, great job.
I LOVE your crosshatching tutorials, it's my favorite way to shade and it helps me focus when I have no idea on what to draw, I even made a design that's made with opposing crosshatches in my free time, wish i could show you though, keep up the vids man they're awesome
Thanks much! You can share it on fb
the way you explain the plane cross-hatching made a lightbulb go off over my head. I'm now going to make every thing in my home covered in cross hatching. thank you.
I am an art teacher and you are awesome at explaining this to students! Thanks for providing this resource.
I love this! Thank you for making these and elaborating on cross hatching. I am a hand engraver and I engrave a lot of small ornamental scrollwork with chisels and shading really involves using tapered parallel lines and hatching selectively to add depth to the work. And with scroll work designs you really need to follow the contours of the growth of the plant to make it look natural and real. This helps a ton!
learnin this because im looking into abstract art with my fountain pen using rods, curves, and circles. im brand new to this medium and so this helps a lot! good stuff
Look forward to each video and love your book. Drawing with 6 kids 9-13 years old and using your book as a reference. Now when I ask "what is your favourite medium", they all answer "pen and ink" Cheers!
yayyyyy!! thats so awesome!
Thank you for articulating not only what to do, but the why, the thinking behind the strokes you choose.
very welcome : )
I love your enthusiasm :)
I try and sit each night and draw something or practice something. I find drawing from memory the hardest, I need more practice in cross hatching to show where the light it coming from... arggggg its hard lol
Forever a huge fan and many thanks
Rene'
Thanks so much Rene! I will continue this series on crosshatching to address some of those issues. Dont worry :-)
I have just purchased your book as I was so impressed by your youtube videos. I look forward to learning more about pen and ink drawing using water colour as well. Thank you for your great instructions.
thanks so much! that support means alot : )
Alphonso Dunn do you sell at bookstores like barns and Nobel.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. It might be years old now, but it helped at least one more person. Your emphasis on consistency and “enhancing the form” gave me a mental breakthrough. Especially seeing it applied in the preview/next-video clip at the very very end. I just couldn’t figure it out before, it wouldn’t look right. Thank you so much.
I always hoped you'd write a book and now I'm awaiting it's delivery with anticipation. I like the non-speeded up tutorials too. I am envious of your ability and inspired by it! Keep on keeping on!
: ) thanks so much for supporting it
You: start practicing drawing get good
your parents: wooh you have a gift
Lol
I love the way you break it down. Thank you!
Thanks
Yay! New Alphonso Dunn vid!
I set aside time to draw every day, and I know it is thanks to you that whenever I don't want to draw (probably avoiding my drapery practice) or am just brain dead I practice basic shapes and parallel lines. I'm finding that I'm improving even on my bad days! (and on my good days I work through your book, so thanks for that as well!)
verywelcome! and thanks so much for supporting it too :-)
The most useful video on cross hatching of my life.
Have not watching lately, but with the Shelter in Place allows more time to do so. Love your demos and explanations. Will watch more.
Thank you for demonstrating and teaching a simple concept of cross hatching. It was very helpful!
Alphonso, I've bought Kindle edition from Amazon as I couldn't find hardcopy at my place in store/online. I've been watching your videos in parallel and started drawing with pen. You're a great inspiration!
Thanks so much
So glad to have found your channel! I'm just beginning pen & ink drawing so this is a real win. I ordered your book yesterday and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for taking the time to help so many of us!
My favorite Art teacher.
Thanks a lot....you have really helped me understand how to cross hatch and what's a better way of using it with my Architecture drawings
This helped me so much
Right now I’m my high school art class we’re supposed to be learning cross hatching as we do an assignment on it yet my teacher didn’t exactly explain how to use crosshatching she just showed us the assignment, briefly explained what to do and sent us on our way
This video made it so much easier, thank you!
Glad I could help : )
As someone who once did a lot of stipple drawings and crosshatching your video was still engaging and reminded me of basic things that only come to mind when the ink hits the paper. I'm sure you've saved me time. Thanks so much. ;) ... even your hands are expressive and nice to look at. Take care, Alphonso!
I never understood why cross hatching is used so much.. now that I switched from pencil to pen I understand. It’s also just a good warm up and stress reliever lol. Great vid man 🤘
I just bought your book and it's so amazing! This book is the kind of book I wished WAY back in my younger age about 15 years ago to have but no buddy really made at that time. Thank you very much for making this awesome book for all to enjoy!
thanks so much for supporting it! And you're very very welcome :-)
You are a great instructor.
And I could actually understand what your saying and what you mean. It's awesome! I'm learning so much from this. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge . 💕💞💕💕💞💞
Just baught the book..... yay..... looking forward to reading it and learning some more of your awesome tips
Bought
On UA-cam there are a lot of people which can perfect drawing but they can't explain it step by step and you can it perfectly. That is why I like your Video
(ps. Sry for my bad English)
Thanks much! I understand perfectly : )
Just found your channel and I am obsessed. Thank you for showing your talent and sharing your knowledge!
I watch your videos regularly. But after a long break , I am getting back into sketching. Starting from basics once again with your basic videos. Thanks so much for sharing your learnings. Aids in our confidence in the right direction.
Thanks for your input! I appreciate this so much because I thought this was just a bunch of random lines!
We are currently working on crosshatching in my art course, and I was struggling to understand it. But, THIS helped me so much! So thank you 💛
Very welcome! Glad it helped
Another new way of drawing. I love using fine liner.
I don't know why, but I find crosshatching to be so darn complicated for me.. :(
nothing that practice can fix, yeah sounds redundant but it works
I will be doing more videos on this dont worry
I agree
Me too :c
squappa keep practicing
thanks for all your videos man! I'm a landscape architecture student so we draw a lot and I love watching you tecniques and practising them! many thanks
glad I can help :-)
I am like super happy your channel popped on my recommendations.
Thank you so much for your video tutorials, I've learned so much in just a few hours. I'm looking forward to receiving your books! You are a gifted artist and teacher!
Thanks for the explanation. I always wanted to understand the logic to decide how use the hatching. You didatic is amazing
The most helpful tutorial about cross hatching on youtube.
Your book is definitely the best thing I've found! Totally worth it 🙌
You have a lot of passion about cross strokes! Thank you for making this!
So good to use the material itself to consult it must be a great feeling of achievement, let’s buy and draw.
love the sound that the pen makes
:)
Hey bud, I just stumbled upon your page and couldn't be more thrilled! I've only recently discovered my minor art talent. I've always loved art but never applied myself.. I'm learning sketching and painting and you sir inspire me. Thank you!

Thank you for this 😁 Cross-hatching used to make me cross-eyed but i feel better about it now
This is the second video I’ve come across that has helped my doodling... again what sorcery is this!?
Bout to by this man’s book
Thanks so much
Thank you for the awesome tips and guides this really inspired me to drawing medieval engravings depicting hell, etc. Truely magnificent.
Oh perfect! I'm currently practicing that and didn't use curved crosshatching at all just yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
very welcome :-)
Your videos are an amazing resource for me. Thank you so much.
You are the best teacher cross hatch
This is truly great art. You are one of my fave artists, Alphonso Dunn. I am going to purchase your book ASAP!
Awesome work @Alphonso Dunn!
If you are learning cross hatching it also helps to study the work of others. Look up two cartoonist Thomas Nast and Robert crumb. Both use tons of cross hatching.
Tus videos son geniales, gracias por compartir tu conocimiento Alphonso Dunn
So helpful with printmaking and etching
Really useful tips as always Alphonso. The tutorial format is really great. Keep up the good work!
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing it & please, please bring us more of your take on the world. We need you... ❤🎉
Gracias por los subtítulos en español.
Ya lo he repetido varias veces.
Ésta técnica me encanta.
Saludos cordiales desde Costa Rica.
I just love your tutorials. Thank you, Alphonso. :)
Very welcome : )
No words..Your Just awsome!!!! I am addited to your classes..
Thanks this has been a wonderful guide, the importance of form indication is something that I underestimated but by making demonstrative simple forms I really see how it can put an otherwise good drawing out of its rails. And yeah crosshatching is wonderfully versatile, like I also like the power of line density to darken areas
Yippee dippy do!!! I just received your book today!! Much larger than I expected!! I look forward to getting started from the beginning in an organized manner (rather than tracking down the appropriate video). Also looking forward to all the extras that you've detailed in the book (missed in the videos)!! Thanks much for a great resource!!!

@@alphonsodunn I ordered the workbook too ! with a strathmore 300 mixed media vellum block :-)
It is so nice to recognize your technics from a book from Juliette Aristides, but your explanation is so much easier to follow , even for me and I am Dutch
Great video as usual. Purchased your book today. Arrives Tuesday can't wait.
Thanks so much! The support means alot
Great! Learned so much. This was a perfect follow up to your video about basic strokes.
Glad you found it useful : )
Yes, it will be great a series of SHORT video that follows chapter by chapter your book
Alphons im back!!! Was back on the road for 3 months but i quit the job so i can come back again and bug ya :) TIME TO GET BACK TO ART AND RELEARN EVERYTHING I LOST AGAIN. This vid seems like a great place to Start :) Glad you got some new vids, thanks for taking time out of your life to change the world and do these :)
Hey Derrick!
Good to see you! And am glad you're getting time to do what you enjoy again! but I hope you really didnt have to quit the job lol
GOOD TO B BACK :) Ya well i had to because that job stole my life!!! But why did i forget to draw so fast again? WOWWW a friend wants me to draw a grim reaper holding a baby? How do I start? Can you show how u would do something cool using a references and changing the things in it you want?
definitely will be working on that one..start with an image of something holding a baby then transform both...better yet, take the pic yourself if you can, in a couple variations
wow that was quick, DREAM COME TRUE :) But take the pic? CLEVER!!! that way i can get in in the very exact pose i want, is that the point?
yup!!
Thank you for some great drawing tips, just getting back into drawing at 57. Liked and subscribed
Thx u soooo much my guy please make more this tutorial gave me so much insight on how to shade tatts which I 6een having difficulties. On some said try cross hatch seen your video and found a plug thx please make more🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey awesome as usual, But I wonder how you go about the second layer of lines (straight, Diagnol) ...How you think about the orientation of the second layer, Because in your drawing sometimes its up-down from the cross contour and sometimes reverse - what the thought behind it??. Thank you
Your book is amazing your such an inspiration thanks for helping my art skills out👍
very welcome :-)
thank you so much, i'm learning so much from these videos!
Thank you
@@alphonsodunn of course! Got my micron pens today!
I bought your book，start the basic，strokes，it including stippling and hatching，and hatching have 8 kinds of type，the number 5 is cross hatching
Woah your cross hatching is so consistent! I’m sure I’ll get there with some practice
Great explanation. Just ordered your book, cant wait to check it out
I loved your book & workbook! I appreciate your honesty in sharing useful information in drawing in such a difficult medium! I find your books to be an invaluable resource to refer to in order to progress in my learning process. If you were to be on Patreon, I would be very interested in signing up to learn even more from you, particularly if you post some real-time content. I am grateful to you for your books and really hope you consider posting on Patreon, to complement your UA-cam videos.
Just ordered the Book Alphonso! Can't wait :)
