Pen & Ink Drawing Tutorials | How to draw a waterfall

[@jb6712]

I know this video was done seven years ago, but I only just came across them two days ago. Now I'm "hooked," very much appreciating your excellent explanations of how to draw the very things I've wanted to do for so long (mountains, water and waterfalls, and trees, in particular).

[@CJ_175]

Sir you have the best "how to" drawing videos on youtube!

[@alphonsodunn]

thanks much

[@timwang725]

Agreed.

[@adrianarencibia1408]

Hey @@alphonsodunn do you have a art class? Please tell me I really want to know.

[@rulerofroombas1443]

@@alphonsodunn it's not even a question of personal preference, it's factual.

[@kellymchenry1944]

I love your videos. I've been drawing for almost 35 years, I do a lot of hand pin striping now but you have made me pick up my black ink again. Thank you for that. It's like coming back to a long lost love, it's all I think about

[@alphonsodunn]

lol I like that. Now dont stop : )

[@rhohit]

You are an amazing teacher!

[@zionpsyfer]

Thanks for all your vids Alphonso. Enjoyed & learned from every one I've seen.

[@gypsydavy708]

Thank you so much. You break it down so fast. Concise and to the point. I watch a lot of tutorials and you never waste my time. Happy new year and much success to you and yours.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much🙂🙏

[@Mrplasticuppolitics]

Hi Alphonso, another great tutorial! I really liked the smoke one you did too it was super useful. Approaching a drawing kinda stresses me sometimes but these videos remind me to chill out!

[@amarpeswani5244]

You make it look so simple that, one gets inspired at trying hand to sketch.,

[@roberthart6232]

Sir. I have been binge learning from your videos. I am a watercolorist and new to that, as it is. I just love the look of pen and ink drawing wich is painted over with watercolor. It is amixed media made for each other. So now i yearn to learn pen and ink. Your videos have been so helpful. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for what you have done and are doing for us learners. God bless you, and keep up the good work.

[@1922Skidoo]

You’ve peaked my dormant art interest I’ve left behind.. thanks

[@OverkillSamurai]

Your videos are really helping my art go places. Thank you.

[@alphonsodunn]

[@masterofnone1481]

This is how tutorials should be done 👌

[@LalalaKirby]

Thank you very much for this, it's well explained and absolutely gorgeous. I could never get my head around how to best draw the waterfall and this detailed it perfectly. It also gave me a new perspective on rocks, that's been a sticking point for me without my really realising.

[@piprichards957]

I agree with pretty much all of these comments. Nice video, really processional, you must of helped/inspired thousands of people by now. Hell yeah, that's something to be proud of man. Thanks for the videos!

[@Artisticwolf772]

Hey, I'm an amateur artist and I've never received any formal art lessons, but your tutorials are utterly incredible and now I guess I have :D thank you so much for making them!

[@robertahubert9155]

Thanks that's a nice drawing. I think I can do that. You made it look so easy but it wasn't I need to practice my rocks, waterfall and shading.

You are simply amazing. I am almost done with an art degree and draw well, but I still learn so much from you and I am sure so many others do too. Thank you for sharing your talent and tips!! There's always new things you can learn with art.... imagination is endless. :)

[@prateek6502-y4p]

That s awesome . However I would like to throw my pov here if u don't mind 😬 @13:16 the middle rock on the left side its dark shading could be little blurred at some point to suggest water waves more 3 d . Obviously that's just basic but impressive sketch .and u r way more familiar with such stuff Also I might be wrong. No biggie. Cheers✌️

[@dcbearpaw4]

That is truely amazing. Thank you so much for showing us how to do that. I really appreciate it.

[@JG_Draws74]

+Alphonso Dunn Your Pen & Ink Videos have been "classes" for me, getting started with this medium. I've watched all of them for texture & landscape. Great Work all around. One technical question: What type of pencil do you use & how do you get sharpened like that (good old fashioned whittling?) Keep up the great work & Thanks Again!

[@alphonsodunn]

For pencils I use a regular #2 or 2mm lead holder. And i have a video on how i sharpen it

[@cecileeaston3052]

Thank you very much. You are really a good teacher 👍👍

Hi, Alphonso! Your lessons are enjoyable and 200%useful! Do you mind me mentioning that unfortunately I haven't found any fountain drawing amongst your videos...? If I'm sort of blind or smth please point that out)) otherwise I'd like to watch such video made by you! Well, I do want to watch it :) Thanks in advance! Cheers!

[@alphonsodunn]

+Joe Pole Hi, thanks much. I dont believe I did one as yet on drawing a fountain! thats definitely a good idea

[@ivan-levpolezhaev9418]

yeaah, I would love to see that! now it came to me that it also could be a good idea to draw things like fog or rain... anyway, thank you one more time for everything, Alphonso! I'm grateful to your generous personality, to say the least! You are a heck of an artist ;-))
