Church !!!

I am at the beginning of my art journey as my mid-life crisis hobby. For months I have been struggling on where to start, and how to learn it. Finally I have found this guy. He is straightforward and to the point where you do not have to listen to hours of lecture before you can just get down to business and practice the fundamentals. I am going to be all digital, but the fundamentals are all the same and there are some great brushes out there that simulate Ballpoint Pen and Fine Liners for Pen and Ink. I am glad he is still putting up videos. I have also got his book Pen and Ink drawing and plan on getting the workbook to go along with it. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.

I'm so glad to see you posting these type of videos again I started my sketching journey with your videos and now I'm in architectural school and your videos have helped me a lot to get here. Also, I can't love anything more than ball pen sketching it's honestly so freeing to not have to perfect everything and still create something beautiful :)

Can I just say that you are a genius in explaining concepts in any easy to follow and easy to understand way that's both helpful and immediately applicable? It's obvious that you have a deep understanding of everything you teach in your videos because you simplify them so well for us. Well done, and thank you for all the lessons.

Your videos are the most helpful ones I've ever found on drawing

Brilliant presentation! Love your two books. Can't wait for the third....

Thank you for these little lessons, you're genuinely and actively helping me fill my sketchbooks

You are an amazing teacher. 🙏

Thanks a lot for such an incredible good tutorial! You broke down into a super easy approach something that I personaly have struggle with! Thank you!! Gonna study all this!

A great lesson. I've learned so much from your videos and from your books. Thanks!

Thanks for the knowledge sharing. I've got your books and I really enjoy them. Can you share your tips when rendering volumetric lights? I try to render light garlands and I can't find any satisfying solutions. Thanks!

Hey, Alphonso! So I finished your workbook and read the other theory book that goes with it. I'm learning digital and I plan to use these exercises from the workbook to get myself acquainted with my tablet and software. It took me a long time to create my own patterns and textures from "imagination".

Love how you keep it simple, thanks for sharing!

The basics, are key to great renderings. Thanks!!!!!

Loved this video. I just got my work book and I was able to follow along pg 65. Loved it

Thank You Alphonso:)

I really like your videos, they have been very helpful, they have helped me to advance in my technique, your book is not available in Spanish? Thank you greetings from Mexico City

I love cross hatch art too 🙂

Awesome Alphonso, this helped me a lot improve my sketch book.

Thank you so much for your videos. They are easy to understand and really help with comprehending the fundamentals of drawing. I bought your book and use it in conjunction with other drawing lessons.

As always nothing but love in the comments. Great video Alphonso!

Great content, thank you.

it's amazing

Thank you for this...really gonna help me with my drawings.

If you love Alphonso's videos, I highly recommend buying his Pen & Ink Drawing guide and workbook. The workbook is fabulous. It goes over everything you need to know to be competent at ink and art. Work through ALL of the exercises and don't miss out on the 30 drawings at the end of the workbook to put it all together. Even after you finish, you can redo exercises to work on any weaknesses. I loved doing the texture blocks, cylinders, and spheres. Alphonso has videos of these if you're curious. The other thing is that Alphonso's book is ART instruction. Everything you learn in the workbook and guide can be applied to pencil, charcoal, painting, traditional or digital.

Thanks a lot for sharing such a knowledgeable video with us. 😊

Thank you so much for this video! I've been straggling a bit with shadows and imagine the item in box/cube helps a lot. Really enjoyed the video and felt like 30 seconds not 16 minutes 😄👍🏼

When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Your tutorial Always appears when most, inspiring as always.

His lines have such a uniformity

Alphonso, thank you for all the videos. I have learned much

thank you so much for posting these informal videos, mr. dunn! your videos have helped me momentously. Especially with shading and lighting.

Would really appreciate if anyone can advise. Does his book “Pen & Ink Drawing” have guides in drawing in general or only for ink? I am new with drawing and draw with pencil. I want to know if his book would help me to buy it or not. Thank you ☺️

Ok Alphonso I will clean the dust of your book and do the exercises again :)

No problem, ballpoints are tricky because you can vary pressure alot

This is by far the best instruction I have found. Thank you SO much for these!!!
