You are right, I has the problem of rushing, I noticed my mistake in my speed drawing, in the columns, ruclips.net/video/XqmdBrDDOVk/видео.html Thanks for the advice alphonso
Anyone who has not bought Alphonso's book and ESPECIALLY the pen and ink workbook, do yourself and your artwork a favor and buy them because they are absolutely priceless! The exercises are so good, they have you repeat patterns in all different ways creating muscle memory that takes work to gain but you'll always have it. I absolutely love his teaching style and the pure fact that he's offering his wealth of knowledge and experience to us through these free YT videos. Most artists aren't available to learn from unless you pay them. I'm disabled and have zero income. Art is my therapy. It keeps me busy since I'm housebound and very isolated. So I can't afford to get nickel and dimed to death no matter how much I want to support the artists I would love to learn from. Anyway, Alphonso is offering these videos as well as his books which I couldn't be happier to have. They're one of the most useful tools I have found to get my hand to do what my brain is telling it. That took a while but it's tuned up and I'll never stop leaving, so I will be following this artist and supporting him in whatever way I can because by doing that he's supporting me too.
This demonstrates why your teaching has such an edge over the RUclips masses. You review stuff and go over it again now and then. When you combine the simplicity of a verbal description and visual demo it resonates long after you switch off the laptop. The message has power. When you add in the resource of your book it's about as close to having a personal teacher as you can get online. I'm a beginner and sooner or later will go to a night class, but in the meantime I'm moving forward slowly and will be watching your videos for years.
I couldn't have said it better. Where I live there are very few classes you can attend and honestly I just come back here when I need to refresh or learn something new...and I got the book.....
I think of drawing as a form of meditation. I literally find it impossible to worry and draw at the same time. In fact, a lot of times, I forget about time and even need to set a timer. The only hazard in being an artist is watching the laundry and dishes pile up. lol
honestly cross hatching is one of my favorite techniques and have struggled with most of the issues u addressed, especially with what u call complementary strokes. seriously I feel like just even watching this video has increased my knowledge. can't wait implement your tips. totally inspired, keep up the amazing work!
omg I laughed when you mentions "parts of the drawing are going to be boring" real life struggles. your vids are so helpful for me, thank you. Im self taught also and found my drawing wasn't developing, but by watching you, I'm able to relate to someone whose had the same struggles and problems and then learn cutting so much time out trying to find out myself. I'm so excited to draw these days Just want to say a big thanks mate
Man! you're my absolute favourite! Your voice is amazing and the way you explain makes everything so simple, thanks to you I've started practicing non-stop. So, thank you so much!
Every so often this video appears in my feed & I watch it every time. This is basic information that everyone can benefit from being reminded about. Excellent video Sir Dunn.
I draw and pen a ton, and some of things you say, are just the greatest advice about drawing I've ever heard. "Don't let your lines rule you!" HAHA so sweet! "The fun is in thinking about what you are doing"
Great tutorial! I've been an artist for most of my life, and even at age sixty-mumble mumble, lol, I'm still learning. I usually use graphites in my portraits, but I'm taking it next level with pen and ink, and your videos are very helpful. I'm going to buy your book at the next opportunity, thank you!
You're absolutely right and I'm just wondering who these people are who think they're giving you a negative rating .. I just have a perfect picture in my head of how something should look like and that's why I'm making a mistake. I don't exercise enough. I have it in my head but not in my hand. Greeting..!
Another incredible video! Than you for freely teaching and helping to build and hone skills. This has taught me so much and really made me so how easily I can change my quality and style of art. I am blown away again with how much I learn. This is great and very inspiring!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉just great content and you have a steady hand and your explanation was awesome!
This is amazing. It is like a face slap with things you know you should do, but don't do it until someone else says it, shows it and then you understand. I was looking trough my early drawings and could spot all these mistake. I wrote your tips right next to them so I would never forget what I learned today.
guys who ever seeing this comment pls read!! yesterday was the first time I tried drawing with a pen (Sakura micron) honestly, it turned out horrible.. after seeing some vids I came across this guy... all that night I watched his videos over and over again... today, I tried to draw the "texture spheres" on his channel and it turned out so good, that I couldn't believe it's my drawing (im drawing realistic with pencil for years). so I would like to Alphonso for making this super-helpful channel... keep making more videos!! without you I couldn't learn how to draw with a pen :) you're the best!
A good lesson learned! I realize I've most of the mistakes here lol. I'm a self teaching pen and ink artist. Your tutorials are definitely going in my favorites
This is a great lesson; thank you. And the thing about art is, there are no mistakes .. just “happy little accidents” - Bob Ross, make your mistakes into art ..
The mode I'm in with my photography right now is increasing my output and I've found drawing makes me more frustrated. I'll use it to rebalance. Www.pacificexphoto.com
Still drawing 3 years on? I suggest you choose the medium that matches your temperament. Charcoal perhaps? If you have to restrain yourself all the time, you probably loose a lot of liveliness.
Actually, this video was kinda useful but not what I expected. To me the hardest part in cross hatching is to differentiate shading and applying texture, I can't properly apply a texture where there is supposed to be shadows... Thanks anyway for all your vids, they are great, even if I try to learn by myself, I appreciate the journey !
This would make a great series. I've been watching website crtiques and each one provides a wealth of knowledge. The information just comes up natural, showing you where's right there where's the problem and how to fix it. I think this will translate prerfectly in drawing critiques.
While I do understand your point, think about how many people he would have hanging off him. I would suggest finding a kind of pen pal through social media if you want that
You see, it's because of your style of tutoring that everyone wants the personal attention....not many people can give you that comfort level and support. This tutorial felt as if you were speaking directly to me and I was saying " Oh Crap. he sussed me out!!!"' But again, by the end of it I do understand what i need to do and will continue to practice. Thank you as always for your support.
I love your videos! I don't know if it's because you taught yourself but you explain things in a way I can understand and give tips I can apply - I have seen a few DVDs done by artists that have formal training and I just don't understand as easily as with your videos. Thanks :)
Thanks! Super easyto understand and helpful ! i just purchase your book from amazon. Please make more video for us ! GREAT JOB ! I like the way you make things simple to learn :)
id love to see some info about portraits. pencil in particular. i can draw decent portraits but i have trouble building facial structure. i feel like my pictures look very flat. my accuracy and proportions look very correct. im having trouble shading i the three dimension even with reference pictures. i cant quite get the cast shadows to look great.
It's very rare to find such a good teacher, even in real life! You were able to explain this with simplicity and care. You answered any questions I had before I even thought to ask them! I'm glad to have found you. You're amazing! ^.^ Thank you for posting these wonderful videos!
What blows my mind is that, in black and white, texture IS shading. Everything casts a shadow, even a hair, even a crack in a piece of leather. We don't see shapes-we see their shadows and their highlights. PS. You have amazing gesture drawings!
My drawings don't look like yours but your recommendations apply across the board, I think. Slowing down and using descriptive strokes to show contours both make a huge difference. I'd add that it's important not to overdo it. When you look at linocuts etc there are often big, flat areas that the viewer's eye reads as having the appropriate shape. The artist doesn't need to spell everything out for the viewer.
hey yeah I thought it was a really good and I'm just taking up drawing again I'm a little older and but I'm really enjoying it and you're helping me out thank you
Well I think I should have stared first watching this particular video . It was worth watching thanks buddy . I have bought your book , it`s real good . Stay blessed
"dont rush"- thanks a lot. i mean i used to rush a lot while doing drawing and i just stopped doing it and that really helped me not only in pen and ink but in pretty everything.
@@leesanchez8432 alot of changed in my life since i made this comment, rlly thnx for replying. I just remembered something i learnt. Wow its a been awhile.
Thank you very much for sharing! This video served me to improve not only in my drawings, but in all activities that require constant attention and are very delicate tasks, such as surgery. It is important to do things slowly, be consistent and stay focused on your goal.
You sir are a true artist and true teacher. Have learnt more from a few of your videos than many art courses. Really resonated what you said about thinking about the subject and how you wish to interpret it, how it makes you feel,, that what makes it art! Otherwise it's just imitation. Many thanks to you for inspiring me to draw. I have always found it really hard but after watching a few of your videos I drew something that I was proud of for the first time. Sure it's pretty meagre by most standards but way better than anything I've done before. 😁
Hi , I am an architecture student and I am really very inspired by your teaching style . These tutorials are very helpful. I want to buy your books and learn from them. Can you please let me know if these books are available in India . Thanks.
Man! you're my absolute favourite! Your voice is amazing and the way you explain makes everything so simple, thanks to you I've started practicing non-stop. So, thank you so much!
I just finished a drawing that I had no idea what was wrong with it, but I knew something in the texture was wrong. After watching this, I realize it was a problem with the inconsistency of my strokes while I was stippling. There are so many little things that go into drawing, and I am so glad that you take time to focus on the little things so that the overall drawing may be more successful. I really appreciate the videos you post and I loved your book. Thank you!
This tutorial went online just at the right time for me. As i'm doing a portrait of a pirate I wanted to had crosshatching in it. But I did not really know how do to it. And then there you just made this video, just at the right moment. This one and the last one video where super helpful!!! So thank you so much!!! :)
I laughed out so loud when you said, 'oh my God, this is taking forever!' that is exactly what I think when I painting or drawing because I work slow. Lately I have been interested in pen and ink and this video has been very helpful. Thank you!
That might be because you are actually enjoying the drawing process, where as others who do it faster than you might not be either enjoying as much as you do or they don't enjoy at all. They are doing it just for the sake of it.
Tbh, it was a bit hard to listen to you when you used to say "OK/alright" at the end of every sentence, but now you are very pleasant to listen to. Very helpful videos, thank you.
I have never learned about cross-hatching until I watch 5 of your videos within this one hour. I do not draw sketches lately. I have just done my sketches instinctively when I was young. Some drawings were good enough, but some are awful, Now I know my mistakes: rushing and joining too fast due to not knowing the purpose of the strokes. THANK YOU, Alphonso!
I would like to second Super duper's suggestion. I can see how the specific examples affect the portion, but I would like examples of how this is shown in a project as a whole.

"If you do what you always did, you're gonna get what you've always got"
Inspirational quote right there xDxD
: )
I was also told to practice smart and Consistently
Dear Alphonso, It is good that there are people like you in this world. Thanks pal.
Great teachers are part of what makes life a little less shit.
@@Ryan-wx8of love that
This demonstrates why your teaching has such an edge over the RUclips masses. You review stuff and go over it again now and then. When you combine the simplicity of a verbal description and visual demo it resonates long after you switch off the laptop. The message has power.

Alphonso is so very patient and encouraging - but he does not shy away from warning us about mental pitfalls to avoid. Thank You
"If you do what you always do, then you're gonna get what you've always got"
That's some deep shit.
: )
I read this in a fortune cookie one time haha
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
I just love how you say "The line in pen and ink drawings is the palette." It's both poetic and so clarifying!! Thanks so much for your videos man!
I think of drawing as a form of meditation. I literally find it impossible to worry and draw at the same time. In fact, a lot of times, I forget about time and even need to set a timer. The only hazard in being an artist is watching the laundry and dishes pile up. lol
lol
tendonitis too(stretch your wrists people!) and pain in general haha
Great video and the tip on slowing down helped me a lot. I needed to hear that lol Thanks man!
A video with lasting value. People are going to still watch this for a long time to come.
Even Mark Crilley can't beat this guy's videos tbh
honestly cross hatching is one of my favorite techniques and have struggled with most of the issues u addressed, especially with what u call complementary strokes. seriously I feel like just even watching this video has increased my knowledge. can't wait implement your tips. totally inspired, keep up the amazing work!

As a impatient, crappy drawer that's my problem. Not understanding my intention and going too fast. Then I give up so thanks for the tips 👍

Bonjour ! Je découvre vos vidéos après avoir lu votre livre.... On sent votre passion à partager avec nous vos techniques et c'est fantastique !
You should try to review people's/subs portfolios, give advice and so on.
This would make a great series. I've been watching website crtiques and each one provides a wealth of knowledge. The information just comes up natural, showing you where's right there where's the problem and how to fix it. I think this will translate prerfectly in drawing critiques.
While I do understand your point, think about how many people he would have hanging off him. I would suggest finding a kind of pen pal through social media if you want that

I am so great full and appreciative . The instructions are easy to understand and follow follow
id love to see some info about portraits. pencil in particular. i can draw decent portraits but i have trouble building facial structure. i feel like my pictures look very flat. my accuracy and proportions look very correct. im having trouble shading i the three dimension even with reference pictures. i cant quite get the cast shadows to look great.

nice tips, you remind me something i forgot a long ago, slow down and thinking more than simple scratch the paper, thanks bro!!
you're welcome.
"...should be inexplicably communicated...." - priceless.
Love your videos but that was funny.
"what are these strokes doing?" I have no idea I'm just drawing some lines hoping for the best! haha I'm trying to learn though
What blows my mind is that, in black and white, texture IS shading. Everything casts a shadow, even a hair, even a crack in a piece of leather. We don't see shapes-we see their shadows and their highlights.
PS. You have amazing gesture drawings!
Thank You for the advices ❤️
Very useful. I really appreciate what you're doing. Thanks a lot
Thanks
My drawings don't look like yours but your recommendations apply across the board, I think. Slowing down and using descriptive strokes to show contours both make a huge difference. I'd add that it's important not to overdo it. When you look at linocuts etc there are often big, flat areas that the viewer's eye reads as having the appropriate shape. The artist doesn't need to spell everything out for the viewer.
Really appreciate your videos. Keep them coming!
Will do definitely
Excellent video a great advice, Alphonso!
No worries :-)

Thanks, The first two solved my problems.

I just find out this beautiful channel thank you so much that was really so helpful 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Great man! Glad to came across your channel
Very good advice. This pen-ink process goes so much against our assumptions that speed is always good.

These tutorials are very helpful.

amazing videos , but can you please make videos about architecture rendering with ink
This needed to be said! Thank you.
:-)
great tutorial brother. ty
Great Teacher.
🙂🙏🙏🙏
Good video. I listen to old country music when I'm doing the ink for my drawings.
I listen to music too
So the fact that I think I'm slow is not a bad thing. What others think should take ten minutes takes me half an hour!
That might be because you are actually enjoying the drawing process, where as others who do it faster than you might not be either enjoying as much as you do or they don't enjoy at all. They are doing it just for the sake of it.
this is awesome....i am literally making all these mistakes right now.......off to my drawing board now😊
God Bless Dunn been using Pencil but wanted to try pen drawings and your making me believe I will get there.
Thanks Big
