VIDEO DESCRIPTION
How to draw and sketch outdoors and urban sketching tutorials as a part of learning how to draw landscape and scenery. In this video I am introducing the series on outdoor and urban sketching in which I will address a wide range of the basics and foundation skills and concepts that help you with your drawing.
I will eventually provide tips on drawing with ink or pencil, addressing issues with composition and perspective and explore combining or adding other media such as watercolor, colored pencil, etc. and adding color.

It's almost shocking how so many messy or imperfect scribbles make such a beautiful whole. Great teaching, great music and above all a great inspiration. Thank you for this video.
Very welcome : )
plz can you tell me what pen are you useing and what supplise do you use its the first time i see that
I put a list of some of the general tools I use in the description. I will do a video as well
"shocking how so many messy or imperfect scribbles make such a beautiful whole" ... kinda like us people
This is why many beginners give up so easily. They don't notice that the pros often start out just as scribbly and imperfect as they do, and assume they've failed just because it doesn't immediately look good.
Is it weird that I use my sketchbook sparingly because I don't want to 'waste the pages' ? It's really an obstacle for when I feel like drawing and I was wondering if that's a normal thing that artists figure out how to overcome ...
+YourClosetLlama lol I understand but you need to violate those pages. Just do a mess on them to get rid of that feeling
Makes sense. I'm also new at sketching so i suppose it's something I'll pick up as days go by. :) Your videos are inspiring and I love to draw along with some of them.. My favorite was the seascape with the boat sailing on it in your how to draw water tutorial.
thanks. Keep it up. Dont stop
This is really late but once you realize how much paper you have(there is) if you’re a paper hoarder like me lol then you just want to use as much of it as possible otherwise it’s a waste rather have scribbles than nothing on a paper
YourClosetLlama I spare my pages too but I believe that you me and everyone else can over come it
I seriously love your videos. I just picked up drawing (at age 24) this week. I love how you make drawings your own and don't try to paint an exact picture of what you're looking at.
Jason Daniel Glad they help...:-)
***** ur amazing keep sketch ing
Are you alive?
30 now?
31 now
Amazing tutorial! I am an architectural student and this really helps alot in visualizing space. Keep up the good works sir : )
Joyee Lee no worries...glad it helped :-)
architecture me too
ditto
Am an Architecture student too. You graduated?
me too ! same here
Thank you for this! When you search for urban sketching on youtube you just find tons of people showing off their amazing skill and saying "just draw what you seeeee!!". You're an amazing teacher. The way you speak of framing the scene is so essentially simple and mind blowing, I don't know why I never thought of that. Thank you!
I have been sketching for last 14 years but I have not seen many people who sketch this good and also explain it that interestingly.Thanks
Words cant do justice to how exited I got when I saw this series announced! I can't wait to see some videos of you actually out and about sketching. Thank you for listening to you fans.
Bartholo Clumpdink :-) thank you
I love the way you teach I have bought your first book and learned so in conjunction with your RUclips channel I will be getting your second book I get it now It clicked for me when you said about simple shapes. I thank you for all your hard work.
Great video - thanks so much for taking the time to make this! I really like your approach and delivery.
+beetlewing Thanks much. Glad it was useful :-)
I like how you give very concrete, step by step instructions. I can tell your thinking hard to consider the mind of a beginner whereas I’ve found other people who do similar videos seem to have forgotten what it’s like to be a beginner and skip through things, assuming we already “know” because it’s feels like common knowledge to them.
I feel the excitement and passion in this guy.... Love the "see that!"
You are the most thorough teacher I've ever seen teach this subject. Thank you for being so thorough and really breaking it down in an easy to understand way! So glad I found you!
Very informative video!!! I'm looking forward to the rest of this series and thank you for taking the time out of your day to do these lessons! Much appreciated. :)
Lujean Martin no problem
Thank you thank you for breaking this down, I've learnt so much in the space of 20 mins than 5 years 😀
Teaching is one of the few professions which are essential. Not everyone is or can be a good teacher. Alphonso Dunn is a VERY good teacher. He gives credence to the best that the profession can be. Thank you Mr. Dunn.
I wanted to thank you for teaching the way I get it.I am self taught,but I am not a very good teacher!This is what I would imagine art school could have taught me if I went there,not an option.Thank You for giving away this information!You are truly a blessing!
Greetings! Mr.Dunn I love your style of teaching i watch your classes weekly my art work is much much better since i started your classes. keep up the good works! thank you very much never to old to learn 67 year old artist.
diane green :-) Thank you. Ttats inspiring
This series looks like it will be exciting. Thanks.
Since I have not commented here before I want to mention the obvious excellent of the videos in this channel. It is very rare to find an good artist who is also a good teacher, but here it is. For me, this is the best go-to channel for ink drawing and general basics.
Max Chandler thanks so much :-)
It is a gift to be able to show complexity look so simple that the viewer can follow your steps easily. Thank you for that, very inspiring!
thanks much : )
I'm about to start learning to sketch. This's very inspiring. Thank you so much!
+Nittshkeul Aramwit Very welcome :)
How’s it going?!
In one part of the video, you mentioned how you can create many different drawings from the one image based on what you emphasize. I think a cool tutorial idea for this series would be if you took one picture and created multiple sketches from it, each with a unique focal point.
Sebastian Paine yes, thats coming up and also how to create emphasis with how you render
love watching you put detail in and inking everything. so inspired now
Now go and create! 😊
You are such a great teacher and such a great gentleman too. I used to be so intimidated about drawing buildings , but your teaching has given me so much encouragement and helped me build my confidence.
You're a wonderful human being for making these videos available to us all. They're great.
So once again, Alphonso - you are genius and a wonderful teacher - love your videos - so much info! Thank you!
Thanks much. Glad they help
your art inspires me A LOT!!!!!!!!!
yayyy : )
Such helpful information. And SO MUCH! I am loving how you tell us to CHOOSE what WE want to draw of a scene; I struggle so often with trying to do it ALL and end up doing nothing I am happy with. So freeing - look at it all and then decide what I want to put in the picture. This one lesson has taught me more about how to visualize what is in front of me and how to make decisions based on what I like. Thank you so very much. I am going to do the entire series and go slowly. Perhaps even repeat them. I have both of your books and need to do more work with them as well. You are really a great teacher. Take care.
I think that you have an amazing way of seeing things and thinking about them.
I also really appreciate the way you can explain your thoughts and transfer your special view onto different objects to your listeners.
FBsqeddo thanks much
you're the man man...... helping SO so much... the way you are not stuck on details... used to be afraid and end up wasting time and energy.. thanks!!:)
welcome :-)
Wow youre a great teacher, thank you!
Thank you
best on youtube
I agree... Very meticulous..!
Thank you Alphonso! Always very inspiring, educational and a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work!
It feels like this tutorial organize every useful tips that I ve known in my head very clearly. I tried to start learning sketching lots of times and failed but I think I can start this time really. Thank you very much for sharing this amazing video for free and your efforts.
Okay Alphonso I learned a lot from you so I will teach you something about photography ;)
As a DP and Photographer we consciously make decisions too as to what to have in focus and what not. We work consciously with depth of field, but also highlights, this is especially the case with films where we have control over the light.
Not so much street photography but also there most of us, will manipulate the image to raw the attention some place. Composition is of course one just like in drawing but also guiding lines an area with high contrast a light area that draws the eye. I do think that most photographers and DPs are very conscious about the fact that as you say the camera captures everything (not everything in focus persay) so we need to guide the eye.
I really love your courses man! I do a lot of mattepainting and set extensions for films. And I was convinced that I could only draw by cloning from other images and composing images. Because I always sucked at drawing with pens/pencils.
When I saw my colleague during my day job doodle I was like: "I could never do that."
He said: "I have seen your digital art and you movie shots, you can do this! If you can draw with a computer you can learn to draw with pen and pencils. It's just different tools! You have the knowledge about values, composition, horizon lines, textures. You just need to just do it and practice."
So I started to youtube and found you and only one week in doing 1 doodle every evening I actually do feel I am progressing. More importantly, I do like it! Doing mattepainting in photoshop and 3D tools became a job, this is just sit back and relax.
Keep it up man!
That was sooo awesome! Thanks so much sharing that! I took some useful points from all you shared. Thank you
You are the best! I recommend you to all new artists...and experienced ones too.
Suzie Overman Thanks so much! :-)
I've tried a lot of online art classes -- Skillshare, New Masters, all sorts of things. But your RUclips channel is what I keep coming back to. Thanks for everything you do.
🙂🙏
Awesome tutorial! I've never thought about framing stuff in that way, can't wait to watch the rest of the series!
***** Thanks...a new perspective never hurts :-)
Absolutely amazing!
James Caution Thanks :-)
best teacher.
: )
Thank you so much for doing this. A new approach for urban sketching for me, fast and still get very good result. Keep up the good work.
Your explanation starting at 12:00 helped me a ton! I often struggle drawing the very first lines on a blank page.
Nice. Very nice. Your students must count themselves lucky.
: ) thanks so much
Fantastic - a pleasure to watch
thanks
Wow, what great tips!! At first I thought drawing urban landscapes like this would be impossible but your tips really break down the key components and it doesn't seem so impossible anymore!
Lloydschlomerdude Great! Then I have success. Now its just for you to actually give it a shot :-)
Your tutorials are one of the best ,the way that you explained each details,the best, awsome instructor, love it zoe
Alphonso is my contemporary artist hero : ) thank you for a great, informative, and inspiring video
+Ana Zdravic :-) thanks and you're very welcome

I love these tutorials. Thank you so much!
This was brilliant! I learned so much. Thank you!
thankyou..it was so useful..i love your style:)
Thank you Sensei. 82K sub'd? I guess that says it all. I am so happy you are starting this series. I hope we get to get through it before you move on to " how to draw the known universe" :)
Your a great teacher. What a blessing you are to be willing to share your time and talents with us! Thank you.
+Shelley Metherall thanks so much
In an age & time that nothing comes for free, thank you for sharing your knowledge & expertise in this much detail 🙏
Been extremely insightful.
This was great. Thanks
+Misana welcome :-)
Amazing drawing! You are so talented
Raihaana Azmi thanks :-)
This is a great series! I watched a few out of order that I stumbled across on RUclips and finally looked up the entire series. I draw along with you when I watch, usually beginning with your photo reference and then start adding to it from whatever is outside my window. I always learn so much from watching your approach.
Thats sooo awesome
Very informative! Glad I stuck around. That lesson on perspective on how your gonna frame it was a gem!
i like your style! you're amazing drawer. I try to ink like you!
+Francesco Ventrice Thank you!

I have watched so many videos on youtube on drawing and yours are by far the most helpful. You are amazing at your art and thank you so much for sharing your passion, it's contagious.
+Cherry Singh Thanks so much
I fall in love with ink just when I started to see your videos a couple months ago. so I want to say thanks for sharing your knowledge
elnamea no worries at all. Thanks for taking the time to comment :-) I hope you'll love it even more...ink is special
Greatest art teacher I've ever come across!
The more I watch his tutorials, my love to black people increases!
Thanks so much
just discovered your channel here on youtube... enlightening!
thanks much : )
Very nice! Thank you! I'll be watching all the videos about urban sketching.
thank you so much for your inspiration it makes you want to try it out
Great Post
i like the music
Yeah, I love it as well.
This is inspiring...just the way you open all of the options for it
Your line and wash work is fantastic. I want to develop my own style, of course, but while that happens I'm happy to learn all I can from what you do. Thank you for sharing!
+Lori Jones very welcome
Nice and helpful
Anas Aljandali thanks
of all the drawings
hands are easily the hardest
This was really enjoyable to watch. I love this sort of 'less is more' sketching where you only have a couple of tools and just use simple techniques like hatching to do the value. Really impresses me for some reason.
: )
your a really good teacher! thank you for posting videos, they really help
I really love your videos. And your style really inspires me a lot. But I'm a big newbie in sketching and would love to buy your book. But I live in Sweden, so do you now if there's a way for me to get it ??
And I'm also wondering why the blue pencil ?? and what kind of pen is it ??
I think the blue pencil is used because of the high contrast, its easier to separate it rather than to have a normal graphite pencil which produces similar values when compared with a pen, so creators can easily see what to do. At least that's what I think
can you do a tutorial on drawing classical architecture? perhaps a baroque church
Darryan Dhanpat a baroque church? hmmm, might just add that in
please
I love the way you try to make your techniques understandable for anyone by showing and explaining different ways to go about one particular thing and that's what makes you a better "teacher" to me than most others. Also thank you for opening my eyes for composition.I mean, I knew it was a thing and how it works and I attempted to to it etc but you really pointed out the importance and the fun about it when combined with contrast and texture...
'Urban sketching' has been something I really wanted to get decent at for a long time bc I basically only do portraits and thought the former would be awesome for trips and just fun in general but I never found the motivation and inspiration to start practicing regularly but you really got me into it since I enjoy ballpoints just as much 😄
So again, thank you so so much and happy new year!
Youre very welcome and thanks so much. Sketching outdoors is sooo much fun and very therapeutic
Thank you so much for your helpful videos. Love your sketching way!
thank you
you're welcome
thank you
I have began switching for the first time and I believe I have a chance of doing great thanks to you
Man, I tell ya..I really enjoy your style. I just started drawing again last year when I wasn't sitting at home unable to work from a knee injury. I've checked out alot of different you tube "how to draw" type of channels, and you are one of the few that actually explains how n why you do things in your drawings.
I hope to see you out here for a long time to come.
Christian Kneiser :-) Thanks...I hope so too lol
Wow such an in depth lesson - thank you so much!! It greatly helped me on my drawings as well ❤️
you're a great teacher. thank you for sharing
Thank you Alphonso. Great explanation and demo.
Thank you sir, your advice about the movement of the fingers vs wrist vs arms really helped me !
one of best videos on urban sketching on youtube
DUDE YOU'RE AWESOME! You're tips and explanation REALLY help me in improving my drawing skills and even motivates me to draw even more! Thank you for the knowledge and the subtle explanation!
SoulCancer94 glad it helps :-)
Your tips*
I have purchased many books and draw according to my own habits but your lessons are telling where we make mistakes, great help to me, Thank you.
I recommend your videos to my art students because you explain everything clearly, quickly, and thoroughly. Thank you for doing such a great job.
Art Teach thanks so much. I really appreciate that
Olé, Olé, Olé tú y tu arte Alphonso!!! and lucky I am to find your tutorial, because long time ago I want to start urban sketching. I like to travel and every place I've been, I saw people drawing each of their experiences in a sketchbook, and that motivated me to want to start drawing. Thank you for your generosity and want to share with us your knowledge and the beauty of your art :) GRACIAS!! ;)
That level of detail!
It's cool man, absolutely great. Thank's for sharing!
Just recently discovered my love for this type of art. You explained it very well for a beginner like me. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad it helped 🙏
Thank you so much! I love drawing buildings but I’m a beginner and this was extreme helpful :)
That was awesome and really helpful.
Bless you brother🙏 and thank you, you've taught me a lot ..
I love your videos man!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Gustavo Serrano my pleasure.
I really like your teaching style. Definitely subscribing and looking forward to using your videos to improve my sketching! It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while but was pretty intimidated by putting pen/pencil to paper. Thank you for making the process approachable.
I really like your techniques and the way you explain them. Thank you very much for all the time and work you invested in this tutorials.
very welcome. Glad you appreciate it
Really helpful, Thank you! Our teacher at art school is trying to get us thinking like this, but seeing another artist doing it really helps me see what I can do in my own work.
+Froggy Art Janine Goodrum :-)
One of the best on RUclips! I like the way you break down the thinking process behind the drawing. Lots of other tutorials just say "oh I think I want to add a little something here" and it turns out amazing but leave me wondering how they think of that.
+Xin Xu Thanks. I guess everyone just has different styles of teaching
Beautiful I love the sketch! it gives it italian feeling i love it!
