@@quiensera9947 um no. The drawing data base is the best, but he's not really known :( you should check him out, he shows more into depth videos than proko. Proko basically shows demos and not full classes while the KZreadr I mentioned does. Like I said, you should really check him out.

7:42 Legit just hit me like a truck. I've been looking for countless videos on drawing in perspective. This. THIS is all I had to do. THANK YOU

When I watch your videos I can't help but think how badly Art was taught when I was at school 30 years ago. I can learn more from you in these 16 minutes than all the instruction or lack of it, I received in 4 years of art class at school. Just wish we had someone like you to teach us back then. Only now in my late 50's thanks to people like you and KZread, am I beginning to really learn, and now enjoy my sketching and watercolour. It kind of makes me sad at all that time lost. Art was not taken seriously back in 1960-70's U.K., they did not see any link between art and getting a job - Main stream school was all about filling the factories and offices with it's next generation of labour.

truer words were never spoken! i never took art in college but in high school it was all crafts rather than any art, with that and my parents seeing no value in art i was totally discouraged from doing what you did. but isn't it grand that we now can learn so much from so many in just a few minutes per day!

Wow how times have changed. Now lots of people want to do art. Although it's still doesn't count as a great job, most just like to do it as a hobby or a second job. Even kids sell their arts!

In my search for a good KZread art teaching channel, I came across several great ones, but yours Alphonso, is simply the best! You're a 100% honest teacher. Some artists say something else than what they do, utilizing the same techniques you showed us, so that we would actually never learn unless we got ourselves premium access to their content. Thank you for patience, your time and your kind effort to help others manifest their creative ideas.

gosh you are such a good teacher! Following you today, I did so much better. I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate this. I became disabled almost 3 years ago so of course I had to give up my job - the best I ever had. Because of this I had to give up my art lessons for financial reasons. For all this time I haven't done anything but sleep because I am so limited. But I found you. You have no idea how much this helps me. Now I can start learning again. This is such a gift from you. You have no idea how this helps me. Thank you so very much. God bless.

This tutorial has made the lightbulb above my head go off like I'm in an episode of Stranger Things. So many things in this video have been said that I have heard almost nowhere else that are amazing tips!

Bloody Hell! This is full on epiphany of a video! I've never seen these concepts described so clearly before! I've seen the box technique before, but never really understood how they formed the person inside it~ But it's so clear now! And the sketch of the elbows! It's so clean and simple while true to the bends in the arms! Thank you! Just Thank You!

Literally, favorite art teacher on KZread here. Every time I'm looking through the internet for tutorials, I'm like, nah, this one doens't seem right, maybe this tutorial itn't helpful to me or this is confusing... but then I go to Alphonso Dunn, search up perspective and watch his tutorial and blamo; it makes sense and it presented in an easy-to-understand, informative way. Love this channel!

The best foreshortening video I had ever watched. Thank you for your video.

Your ability to simplify complicated concepts is just amazing. When I'm overwhelmed, I come back to your videos and feel grounded and hopeful again. Thanks!

man you're for sure a god, now I can draw at least the basics of perspective ily

I've been struggling with perspective and foreshortening for years who knew I only needed 17 mins to gain insight for improvement 👏👏

I recently your videos during my time for "stay in place". They are without a doubt the best artistic tutorials on KZread. I have learned so much and really enjoy drawing again. Thank you.

hi alphonso. your way of explaining the perspective of the human form is so amazing! i have been drawing for about 60 years and have never been able to draw the human form. i feel like now i get it and can play around with it till i can actually draw people! thanks so very much, bless you! :D

Perspective is hard to do, you teach it very well.

iv been struggling with this for months and you just made it so simple I feel stupid happy amazed honored and thrilled dude your like one of the best art teachers out there one of my biggest problems with drawing foreshortening was making something bigger in the front and then making it smaller in the back always thought I was messing up the proportion but now man your just awesome

Oh my goodness! Finally someone has explained how to show organic shapes in perspective! Thank you. All I have ever been able to find is how to show man-made shapes, such as a road or a building, in perspective, which doesn't compute for me when trying to draw organic shapes like trees, or birds. The way you have explained this makes sense to me, and it works for more than just human shapes.

I’m amazed every time I watch one of your videos. I can’t imagine the amount of time it took for you to be this good. I’m also impressed at how well you explain what you are doing. Thanks so much.

I came to a studio class with my Sketch book. There were professional artists there. I didn't feel daunted. They asked to see my book. The person running the studio wanted to copy it!!!! PS. I'm 73.

This is probably one of the most insightful videos of art tips I have ever watched.

Thank you for learning everything you did and passing it on .

8:45 Using the same grid work as one usually works to draw objects in perspective to draw figures is brilliant! So simple that it should be obvious yet I never thought of it before this video. Thanks man, I just drew my first reclining figure that didn't look like it was drawn by picasso.

Very comprehensive yet simple to understand! I understood everything that you were conveying! There's enough here to at least get my figures to look "believable". Big fan!

Of all the art channels on KZread, this is definitely the best. Your voice is so soothing, and your videos cut straight to the point and they've really helped me improve my sketching.

God damn, I wish you'd taught me art in college. High school was all about crafting, cutting, hatching, technical skills, which was amazing and necessary, then college was all about going back to basics, for TWO WHOLE YEARS! Color wheels, penmanship, cutting, blocking, composition...as if everything prior didn't exist. Almost no "art" or real drawing. IMO the two most important things for anyone that wants to draw and build on their skills in a real, usable, FUN marketable way are 1) perspective and 2) anatomy/poses. You nailed it man.

Great video! I like that you have a more technical and straightforward approach to art. I've been drawing since I was young, and it's nice to get a refresher on the basics sometimes! It's so neat how the movement in these sketches really came to life!
