Hi Alphonso! I’m currently working on your books -they’re awesome!-, and I would like to make you a question if you don’t mind: on page 48 of the workbook, the capability to perceive differences in value is addressed as a crucial one; however, although this makes no problem for me in the value scales, when it comes to identify the middle tones in the drawings themselves things get trickier. Even in the drawings you provide on those pages I struggle to separate certain closer values. So, I was wondering if you could suggest any piece of advice to improve on this area or maybe you could tell me if you have already talked about this subject in any other video. Thank you so much for all your dedication and beautiful work

thanks so much for the help. I'm in visual arts and I am a junior and this really helped me get a good A on the assignment. Keep up the good work my friend!!!

I just recently discovered your videos and I just read your book cover to cover last night. You do excellent work. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@alphonsodunn]

No worries : )

[@frankrydberg8509]

This is all gold! I'm getting your book.

[@DustinJJ98]

I subscribed. Your video is very helpful and elaborate. Thanks. I've watched many ball point pen tutorials and drawings. I'm planning on starting many ballpoint projects.

Great complement to pp 38-40 of Alphonso's book "Pen and Ink Drawing"!

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much...that section helped?

[@juanpablomantilla5541]

+Alphonso Dunn Yes! It seems like the examples on p. 40 use different line sizes to achieve gradation, is that right? Related to "weight" on the bottom of p. 27; seems to me.

[@newenglandart9418]

I bought your book and workbook. I love them.

[@shoshoohayooo]

I really like your video but i wished it in HD it is not that clear :(

[@alphonsodunn]

That will be addressed soon :-)

[@bradwootton8065]

Alphonso what do you think of the halfway to black (HTB) and andrew loomis methods of determining a value?

[@alphonsodunn]

if either works for you, use it....There is no one way to draw...however, I would suggest you learn as many ways as possible, that way you dont limit yourself or your creativity and your style has more things to incorporate as it develops

[@lichdesign]

Could you make a similar tutorial with different pencils? :)

[@alphonsodunn]
