what a super guy you are to show/ introduce another artist's work in your channel... true artist always remains a student and keeps learning. :)

You and Alphonso Dunn are my two favorite instructional artists! Very cool to see that you 'know' each other too. I got Alphonse's book the day it came out.

This is the best art book I have in my collection. Alphonso Dunn's approach includes so many factors not covered in most other places, yet keeps it all so accessible. It's a very intelligent approach. I love this book and his teaching.

I like the white spaces.. Nothing worse than a cluttered text book.

Alphonso Dunn made a book?? Awesome, I follow his channel since I began to draw. Helped me out a lot in the beginning.

I follow Alphonso Dunn and purchased his book a few weeks ago. I quite enjoyed that it was such a large book written with such simple text and lots of white space. It left me feeling that my brain had time to comprehend what he was trying to explain even though some of it was short and sweet. It will be a very treasured book for me because I have watched Alphonso grow and become such a wonderful young man. I am excited to see both of you doing well:-) Thank you so much for all of your work!

Two of my favorite youtube people together in one!

Mr Dunn 's youtube site is brilliant...tons of lessons...what a great book

Thank you for reviewing Alphonso's new book. I have been a fan and follower of both yours and his for a few years now. His course is available on youtube.

Like his videos so much doing basic pen exercises, Just bought the book today on amazon

I will be picking this up! Love his channel!

ALWAYS LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK.. THANKS AGAIN.. LOVE U

Wait, you're ParkaBlogs?? I used to visit your site all the time back in the days when I was obsessed with conceptual art books! What a nice surprise!

Love your great review of this great book by an even greater man. Sadly hes in trouble because this book has been plagiarized by Jake Parker the inktober schmuck. I urge anyone who enjoys this book to support Alphonso Dunn during this time and watch his most recent video.

Thanks for reviewing this book and many others..im subscribing :)

I have to get this book in my library

This was the first pen & ink book that I bought. As you say, Teoh, I don't think it's good for early beginners. Many of the example sketches in the book are quite advanced. Personally, I think the looser style urban sketching approach that you present in your tutorials is a better way to go for beginners... not being so concerned with achieving the perfect rendering of a scene. If I was asked to suggest a book, it would be another that you have reviewed, "Dare to Sketch" by Felix Scheinberger.

his lessons are very useful and interesting. Anyone who wants to learn how to draw need to draw on his book and the lessons close attention.

Thanks Teoh.

Thank you Teoh. I subscribed to Alfon's channel too and was contemplating if I should buy this book. After watching this video I decided not to. I enjoy his video tutorials immensely; his personality and the way he brings his points across are very effective and inspiring. I'd sometimes pause the videos to note down the things he says. I may be wrong but I think this is what the book's missing. Like you, he's very generous in sharing his experience and knowledge to help others. I have great respect for artists like that.

You should do more reviews like this on the Parka Blog channel, especially for instructional books. It's really helpful. I read the blog as well, but it would be nice to be able to put the video on in the background then if I hear something I'm interested in, check it out.

any body have that E-BOOK version ??

HI :) Thank you for the great review. This is a strange question, but are there any anatomy sketches in this book? I ask because I have an artist friend who has almost completed their time in jail, and is in the process of regaining their life. They are only allowed an ink pen to draw with. I can send a book directly from Amazon to the jail, but nudity is strictly forbidden in any book and they will refuse it. Is there anything like that?

I sell some artbooks occasionally at www.parkablogs.com/content/books-sale-singapore-only But not this Alphonso Dunn book. Usually Basheer will give around 10-15% off the sticker price. You got to ask. Not sure what they don't just use the final price though. It's a good book. Worth the money.

I really hope you can get a hand on a copy. also if you want to read Jake parkers friends and svs learn arguments forum.svslearn.com/topic/10012/inktober-book-plagerism-accusations im very familiar with Dunns work as I have only studied his tutorials when i first got serious again after hiatus. Im sticking to what I see, which is layout, concept, and artwork copying has happened here. It makes more sense, since Jake Parker said he read the book before, and jake parker said he copied the ending of a hellboy comic for his missile mouse comic. he might think its NOT a big deal since he does comics, and copying layout is actually quite common! Jake parker style doesnt even use the same artstyle or crosshatching seen in dunns work. But verdict still out til the book comes out. if it does.
