phillip miner :-) thanks much

[@doctorwhovian4243]

Alphonso Dunn do you perhaps have a video on not being heavy handed with pens/pencils? I always find myself stabbing the paper even though I know that much force isn’t necessary.

[@gilli4899]

your tutorials helps a lot, it helps me understanding and creating my own stuff rather than copying. Thank you, you're a great teacher!

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much! I appreciate that : )

[@austfricentral]

Yeah, I can't believe how helpful you've been. So many of the techniques that have been holding me back have been explained in such a comfortable way. Thank you!

[@alphonsodunn]

Wizard of Auz you're most welcome my friend

[@jasonfoster4644]

I found this extremely helpful, I never really thought about doing clouds too much and when I just tried, I got completely lost. The general concept of lighting had my mind in shambles. I'm going to have to practice the shading a bit more, but you explained it simply and seeing it helped a ton! Time to go give this another shot, thank you!

[@alexandr4847]

Sorry for my english, but all of your videos really helped me. Thanks)

[@superfab70]

Really excellent. Do you have any suggestions about rendering of fog or mist?

[@alphonsodunn]

hi Alphonso, thanks for your enlightening videos, you don't know how many times I've tried to draw without ever combining anything. if you haven't already, I'd like you to make a video on how to draw grass.
p.s soon I’ll receive your first book. Bye D.

[@patricklewis9787]

[@somerandomsomething3897]

thanks! this tutorial helped me a lot :)

[@markjeromecleofas1085]

Another good tut,I love it! XD

[@alphonsodunn]

Mark Jerome Cleofas thanks

[@piprichards957]

Of all the drawing tutorials on youtube, yours are the most extensive and are which I reckon are the best! Cheers man!
P.S. sometimes the camera loses focus and struggles to find it again, I'm not sure if you have fixed this in your later videos but if not, there should be a setting to fix the focal distance instead of it auto focusing. A quick google of your cameras make and model should tell you if this is possible. Its not really a problem but it would make your tutorials just that bit crisper!
Thanks again.

[@alphonsodunn]

Yea lol i recently fixed it...a wee bit late...but just did

[@paigehoney9055]

Very helpful, thank you!! I'm trying to make a drawing for my friend as a birthday gift and I realized I don't know how to draw clouds, now I'm on my way to drawing some really nice ones :-)

My clouds are terrible! I was drawing a landscape piece of Poulnabrone in the Burren, Co. Clare Ireland and I was eager to finish it so I did these terrible clouds. I ended up cutting off the sky effectively..... :( Should have looked at this video first wahhhhh! Thanks Alphonso, your frigging awesome artist buddy! I've come on leaps and bounds!

[@alphonsodunn]

Sorry you found it late lol

[@reyveingerasmio4696]
