The thig you call "outline sculpt" is probably the single most useful teaching that I found on internet about drawing! If you can, please make some more pen and ink video on this technique applied to mountains, woods or terrains, or even more generic like applying it to doodles. I'll try to practice this every day :) A very big thank you!
I adore the down-to-earth way you explain everything! i'd been stuck for a few months in this shading thing and thanks to you i managed to improve my shading skills signifficantly! You are amazing teacher!
Amazing. The male figure is such a challenge. Adding references and resources from the master himself Michelangelo is just superb. This is how you learn how to draw!!!
Great, as usual. Your analysis is key to understanding the whole process: helps us to split complex daunting forms into easiest and more feasible ones. Michelangelo's famous answer about how he sculpted ( "I just remove from the marble block the stuff that is not necessary") was just for a show: he really must have built his figures following the technique you show us. Thanks, maestro.
one of the things i like the most about studying with you is that you understand the importance of the direction of each hatch stroke, and that shows in your drawing style. Thank you!
Hehe boi level up been struggling in solidarity proportion for the past 8 months for human anotomy finally ived made progress this made my drawing improved 5x Should've watch your videos about mass and proportion before and ived been struggling so long for this 😞 thank you this help me a lot
The best instructor on you tube. Feel like I'm in art class. I mean if you ain't teaching at a school i would be surprised. Thanks for making videos for us to enjoy and learn from.
Thanks so much Alphonso! I've been admiring Renaissance sketches for years now and always wanted to learn the technique - thank you for teaching me where to start :)
Man, have you made a structured basics, intermediate, etc tutorial and marketed it at all? I really think you could make some cash. People love to buy chunks of knowledge prepackaged. I appreciate the ease to many levels of technique and style. Your range is rare and very impressive. But more importantly it kindles my love for pen and ink that I thought had been quenched. But I can feel sparks leaping in the 'inner cockles of my soul". Thank you sir!
I just started drawing for about a week now and I love the way you teach and break things down. It’s easily digestible for my brain to absorb can’t wait to keep practicing. Subbed and will comb through your channel
You have such a gift as both an artist and a teacher! You have a unique ability to make complex drawings and break them down so that it makes it easier to learn. thank you! I just ordered your book and can't wait for it to arrive :)
wish there were more people subscribing your channel sir. thank you for helping people like me . Wish you have a successful and Happy life and you get the things that you wish for . Thank you once again THank you.
Thnxs alot mate you put my nose in a better position then it ever was before ,......lol. I have seen your page-lessons and I'm sure,I need more space and time.So if you dont mind I stay a little longer to learn from you and your vid-uploads(witch are pretty good to follow and teaching style I like + sounds I can hear lol,.....(sorry for my no so good English) Anyway thnxs again see ya Libbe from Holland/Friesland
Hello, Alfonso. Thank you very much for your lessons. I tried working with complex forms. Could you please explain how to determine which side of the embedded objects has a solid line and where there is only hatching? In which cases and under what lighting should secondary forms be correctly represented?
+marc Perez Master? lol I wish. But thanks, thats very kind. It comes with study and practice. But lots of discipline to stay focused even when you seem to see little progress
Mr.Dunn, I am from Greece and i really thank you for all the videos about drawing..The whole concept of drawing...You help me a lot to reconstruct my way of thinking and observing the reality and than,,draw the illusion of it ..as you teach us..Could you please tell some specific ways of drawing with charcoal,.. not in an academic way,but more modern,expressionist way...??
You are amazing. I like very much the renaissance period, and you kinda (''kinda'' because i don't know if someone really know how Leonardo or Miguelangelo painted, his exact technique, for example) remake the way that they work, and i think that's marvellous. I'm happy to learn with you, so thanks for share you'r techniques :)
Hi Alphonso, I have a question regarding thigh anatomy and more specifically that part that tends to bulge in certain situations which I don't think is the femur. I'm gonna paste a slightly gory image of a very skinny model because it's easier to see (it's not a real person anyway) s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/cc/f8/6d/ccf86dbd90e550f518bed5baa4559c8f.jpg See that bulge on the first photo that makes the thigh curve on the second? Is that the rectus femoris or the femur? Also, this bulge is next to a very hollow part on the inner part of the leg and then there is this other bulge that also look like bone but can't be. Is this the abductor? Is it muscle to or tendons? I hope you can help, Sarah xx
Hi, this is a very helpful video. Just wondering if you are drawing with a sanguine pencil and make a mistake is it possible to use a normal eraser to erase the mistake the same was as you would with a normal carbon based pencil? Thanks
Hey Alphonso I applied for a job at another Tattoo Studio and the guy told I have to be able to draw tattoos out of my head and I told him i like to use a reference of whatever Im drawing and he acted like i suck!!! But when i saw his finished tattoo the proportions were way off ;) isnt it normal to look at a reference if its something you have never drawn before or you just cant picture it? Even some pros still need a reference sometimes right? i think he should hire me and learn from me what i learned from you :) Keep pumping the vids out bro your a big help!!!! :)
well, he sucks! All good artists work with references...It may not be completely from a reference but they sure use it ..Especially before putting a permanent mark on someone
Mo Ka They had no photography, computers, and the wide array of auxillary tools modern artists have at their leisure, and look at their stuff...So you answer that :-)
Spectacular work. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge. I would like to know if you could give me the specific colors and brands of the pencils..
any reason your using the reddish color pencil and im sorry but did I miss a tutorial on how to sharpen them tips? Would like to try it! Not sure what its gonna do for me or if it will mess me up or what lol but if you do it theres gotta be something helpful about it...

Alphanso Dunn: *creates absoulute masterpiece in 15 min.*
Me after 2 hours: _stickfigure_
Try drawing a tin can. Then you'll be able to make a canfigure.
Great, as usual. Your analysis is key to understanding the whole process: helps us to split complex daunting forms into easiest and more feasible ones. Michelangelo's famous answer about how he sculpted ( "I just remove from the marble block the stuff that is not necessary") was just for a show: he really must have built his figures following the technique you show us. Thanks, maestro.
Shifting from simple forms to human muscle forms is a really big step!!!!....Anyways great video man and thanx a lot!
Thanks, yourw welcome. You can do it
one of the things i like the most about studying with you is that you understand the importance of the direction of each hatch stroke, and that shows in your drawing style. Thank you!
This makes so much sense. I’m always so lost about doing things like this. Thank you so much!!
Lately I've been slowly accidentally moving into this style for some reason glad to know it's actually sensible to use this

👍
Thanks so much Alphonso! I've been admiring Renaissance sketches for years now and always wanted to learn the technique - thank you for teaching me where to start :)

Hey Alphonso what are those pencils your drawing with ??
Love this!
: )
Great tutorial. Try AF Lock for your tutorials. Keep sharing.
Is there a function in using regular gray graphite from the red-colored pencil in the Michelangelo drawing?
Function? Doubt it. But in ways more aesthetically please
very helpful!
thanks
Hi, this is a very helpful video. Just wondering if you are drawing with a sanguine pencil and make a mistake is it possible to use a normal eraser to erase the mistake the same was as you would with a normal carbon based pencil? Thanks

Hey Alphonso I applied for a job at another Tattoo Studio and the guy told I have to be able to draw tattoos out of my head and I told him i like to use a reference of whatever Im drawing and he acted like i suck!!! But when i saw his finished tattoo the proportions were way off ;) isnt it normal to look at a reference if its something you have never drawn before or you just cant picture it? Even some pros still need a reference sometimes right? i think he should hire me and learn from me what i learned from you :) Keep pumping the vids out bro your a big help!!!! :)
well, he sucks! All good artists work with references...It may not be completely from a reference but they sure use it ..Especially before putting a permanent mark on someone
How good do you think Michelangelo and Da Vinci are compared to modern artists? (In terms of drawing the human figure).
Mo Ka They had no photography, computers, and the wide array of auxillary tools modern artists have at their leisure, and look at their stuff...So you answer that :-)
i really hope i can draw like you did! its veryyyyy detail and beautiful eventho you just basic sketch
I am sure you can if you dont give up
amazing work brotha thanks for the informations ...
no worries
Spectacular work. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge. I would like to know if you could give me the specific colors and brands of the pencils..
