After all these years decided to buy both books and they’re amazing! Thanks for all the love in these assignments! Should be more like this content! Could you demonstrate excercise 2.1? I use the Sakura micron and I’m curious how you would create the varying-line weight!❤

Wow a how to with talking and explaining how to actually do it !! Best how to out !!

🔥 super

I like my burgers well-Dunn.

I agree, I would love to see the pencil underdrawing video

Excellent video...

Yes, it would be cool to see your pencil drawing process. And some sketchs using fountain pen!

You are such a good teacher. Thank you again!

Thank you.😊

When is the new book coming out?

I refer to your guide and workbook all the time. Yesterday I was inspired by your Van Gogh sketch of starry night and I tried to render several Van Gogh paintings in ink. Very fun. I don’t use pencil any longer as I erase too much. Thank you for the content!

Great

yes please the pencil drawing process video

More pencil drawings please 🙏

I just got that workbook! Ordered it from Powells and got it this past Monday :D I'm so stoked to use it!!

man, I work with drawing, but I confess that watching this video made me more hungry than wanting to draw!

Yes pencil too please!🙏

the end result is awesome

I hope these vertical videos won't become common here. It's much easier to rotate a mobile device than my laptop, monitor or TV so there's little benefit. Despite that, your content is exemplary! So much so that I'm struggling to mar your practice books with my uh, practice... Thank you for all that you share!

Fire 🔥 📛

i feel like im stuck on textures and line work when it comes to drawing. I dont know if its my style but after drawing for so long when i draw trees, bushes, clouds, water, etc it looks unnatural. Its like i can draw but i cant understand the concept of trying to draw beyond that style and make it look better. is there any way i can get better and not make what i draw regarding texture look stylized and intermediate? I understand using pressure but its hard to draw light light w pen and dark dark. Also, is using tortillians with ball point a good idea? ty 🙏🩷 love your videos

Maestro!!!

It'd be nice to see the pencil drawing process for future videos.

That was wonderful to watch Alphonso! You made such a good point about each part having its own texture, I never really thought about that before. I wouls keep giving everything the same crosshatch pattern and then struggling to not make it look flat from value alone.

Always a great lesson.....😊

Do you recommend sketching it pencil before starting pen and ink drawings when you’re just starting out? Or going straight to ink?

Haha, I just posted a burger sketch yesterday.

you know it's a good day when Alphonso posts

Can you create exercises for procreate? :D Don't skip trend

brother u did a great job explaining this was the most simple thing i have been missing in trying to draw thank you alot

i clicked on this vid because of the pencil

I am enjoying everything you are doing, it is really helping me. That being said, it is not a Bro line, it is a brow line! Like ouch!

Awesome!

Nice drawing bro

Hello Alphonso. I was wondering if you’d do a pen and ink composition video. I’m not referring to the typical composition that is taught but of the composition of light vs far as it relates to ink. I recall reading about the subject many years ago but I can’t seem to find anything online or in books that discusses it. I recall some general rules of something like 70% of the picture being dark or shadow and 30% light and vice versa. I also recall the subject including the use of pure blacks. It was all in an effort to create a visually appealing of light and dark composition. I’d also love to learn more about the use of watercolor splashes with pen and ink drawings that still leaving the drawing as the primary focus and only uses color as an enhancement. Thanks

After 8 years, I am still here watching your videos. I also bought your books! Thank you again for sharing, hope that I can draw better.

thanks for the video 😁😁

No one is talking about the pencil-

I figured out that coming up with a pose is super easy when you don't focus on details like proportion and muscles and such. Heck id go as far as say beginners should learn this first instead of the elusive gesture study

Starting a drawing from sketch or necessary and a must for me lol. I actually really like the process of sketching to finished line work before pen/ink and/or watercolor. It's very calming

Do you recall what pen you're using here? I like how its turning out with the fine lines and thicker bits too.
