How to draw a rose

[@ParkourGenerationNew]

this really helped me.. it wasn't only that you showed us how to draw this rose, but you explained everything in detail as well.. probably the best rose drawing tutorial over the internet :) thanks man

[@alphonsodunn]

Rubik thanks alot :-)

[@music4me831]

Finally, someone explains how to SEE a rose. With monocular vision, drawing has it's areas if confusion & frustration. Thank you for simplifying and building on THAT foundation. I'm so HAPPY!!!!!! I CAN SEE IT!

[@alyssahomescu7021]

wow, you're really good at explaining it in a logical way and breaking it down

[@alphonsodunn]

thx

[@GwynethSleuth]

I've always had trouble drawing roses, and this is the most understandable method I've ever seen. I need to practice right away so I can finally get one right. Thanks, Alphonso! Love your tutorials.

[@ToruChan]

Thanks, that was really helpful! I hate "tutorials" where people just trace the final lineart like they have learnt it by heart rather than breaking down the shape to its core structure. Plus, you are quite good explaining :3

[@kerfluffle]

My jaw just dropped at the 1:46 mark. It's like everything clicked perfectly in my brain! This is the clearest ever art explanation I've seen - thank you so, so much for breaking the steps down. You've no idea how happy this has made me!

[@alphonsodunn]

Glad I could help : )

[@corbit313corbit5]

alphonso is the man. he don't rush and he's great at explaining and simplifies things to where you understand them. thanks man

[@alphonsodunn]

no worries : )

[@niashanilajahi1879]

this is what I think teaching is....the art of taking something that seemed so complex and with ease methodically making it simple for us to understand ....since I found you all I talk about is your method of reaching us...thank you I am grateful....

[@absenceofcolour]

I could kiss you. This was probably the best video I have seen yet on how to draw roses freehand. Thank you so much for going from a very basic visual and showing how to expand from there.

[@alphonsodunn]

🙏🙂

[@zacharyhorvath3615]

Great video man, this is exactly what I was looking for, as I was trying to utilize this approach but didn't have a good idea of what shape to start with. Thank you for making the only video I can find on how to draw any rose rather than a step by step tutorial

[@sallymccornack2800]

Wow, just found you. Now never want to leave I’ve been struggling with roses and now.....going back to try again. Thanks so much 💕

[@yesiliketphehehe3662]

U are the best KZbinr art teacher ever. U deserve a award. 👍🏻

[@kevinpbn]

You are AMAZING !!! I don't even need a artist teacher

[@alphonsodunn]

lol thanks much..glad you're learning alot

[@Dandelions7760]

You are a lifesaver. I’ve been searching on how to draw a rose to practice, but all of them just looked the same and I needed something different. Then you, this bootiful person comes along and just guides me away with all the things I need to know. Thank you, honestly I could just hug you! ❤️

[@sleepybones5726]

Alphonso where have you been all my life

[@alphonsodunn]

: )

[@dustinj2470]

haha i asked me the same question 2 seconds before i read your comment. Nice tutorials alphonso, thank you :)

[@ethiedrawz4337]

Alphonso Dunn omg ur a life saverr

[@anahata2009]

This simple explanation of a cylinder with overlapping lines just made my head explode . . . like, in a really good way.

[@TigerTarot1234]

thank you so much I'm so glad I found you you are the first person so teach in a way that helped me with detail. I want to get better at sketching and you make so much scence. I've been away from it for so long because I doubt myself too much but finding someone like you makes me feel like I can visualize more and not get frustrated by being a perfectionist.

[@datilamarante2837]

Beautiful!!!Thank you very much, Alphonso. Straightforward teaching with awesome results. Thanks again.

[@PhoenixFyreRN]

Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are incredibly helpful. The only thing I would ask (for those of us who are super novices and still trying to get our bearings) would be to see the actual rose in real time. I completely understand where you're coming from with the shapes and how they fold out, but watching the actual rose form kind of blew my mind. That aside, your videos have been a HUGE help in the process of me learning to draw. I thank you for putting your skills out for the world to share, enjoy, and learn from. You are wonderful!

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks alot for your feedback...I appreciate you taking the time...I'll take definitely try to make some time to do just that :-)

[@fullmoonboggart]

you are an angel sent from the Gods of art and i love you

[@alphonsodunn]

:-) thats heartwarming..thank you

[@ingridbirkneslanghelle5495]

You are really good at explaining and helping the viewers understand the concept of what you are doing. It's like learning basic anatomy before you draw a body, if you understand what is 'going on' it helps you put it down on paper, if that makes sense. You understand the limits and the nature of what you are drawing.

[@alphonsodunn]

Ingrid Birknes Langhelle thanks much

[@gracelovesspqr]

You must be a very smart person,Dunn. You really got to the core of drawing stuff. I already purchased your book and loved it. Keep on with your work. God bless.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much

[@marshagarber6228]

your explanation is so strightforward; i love your voice and little laughs... it makes it so comfortable to watch.. and helps me quit thinking i lack some ability.. !! thanks!

[@stufromoz8164]

........"A rose by any other name".............is just another cool Alphonso drawing.........Thanks mate, great channel, I am learning drawing to help with depression , I find it very meditative , your channel and your instruction is awesome , it has helped me so much and I imagine many, many other people have also been helped by you.

[@rebeccavaughan3615]

Thank you so much for sharing your skills!!!! Love your show!

[@rebeccavaughan3615]

I've been told I do a good Rose. You have shown me an easier way for the sides

[@evangelinepsyba3426]

Glad to meet you sir.you are such a good teacher.your explanation too good .it is very useful to me.thank you so much sir . keep teaching and rocking

[@d.i.e517]

Love your teachings, you simplify & provide amazing ways to view the art from step 1 to the finished whole. Appreciate it. May you do a video on a snake wrapped around something??

[@lindasherman9060]

SO well explained. Gave me a totally new insight! Thank YOU.

[@Don_Gyakon]

Finally a tutorial that really teach you how to draw a rose and no just copying somebody drawing, thank you

[@lifeandzindagi]

Very well done job.....good understanding of the this particular flower...brilliantly displayed on paper with great understanding and technique to simplify for those who wants to draw Rose's without reference...I was looking for something that would make my understanding of this particular flower clear in order to draw them without any reference and also to get satisfactory result...fortunately after watching a dozen I came across your work...it was a relief...good to learn..need to draw till feel satisfied.👌

[@clovergreene2546]

why is it that my roses end up looking like cabbages ;-; gotta keep practicing

[@alphonsodunn]

Dont worry. Keep practicing

[@feliciolucas7198]

i feel the same

[@Robs01]

draw a cabbage and see if it looks like a rose?

[@erhansevimli8219]

@@Robs01 I agree

[@liyuan492]

Mine looks like a pine cone...

[@marialeon2715]

Hi! I’ve seen many tutorials on drawing, and yours is the best. I love the way you teach, makes it very easy. Thank you 🙏 God bless you

[@SakoTumiCassVoit]

Thank you so much. Most videos do the "draw a bunch of random lines that look good" method, which isn't particularly helpful. What you've done will streamline my roses so much smoother and natural looking.

[@sweethomes674]

Excellent explanations and techniques 😊🌹🌹🌹thank you

[@sharivanrijn6552]

Thank you ! For some reason I’ve always struggled with drawing a rose and your explanation made it make sense in my brain, I am so very grateful to have found this.

You make it look so simple!! Just out of curiousity, do you cover stuff like this in your book too?

Thanks. Not a specific flower, but the concept of drawing in general which you can apply to different things

[@Brigittev10]

+Alphonso Dunn thanks for the quick reply. Love your videos!

[@alphonsodunn]

+BrigittevT thanks much

[@KairuSan1]

Thank you, the first few videos I look at where just people freaking say "Draw this rose In 10 minutes" while they just play a recording of them drawing on 1.5 speed with music in the background with no context on what they are actually "teaching" as thousands of people try to pause the video every 3 seconds to try to copy it and then end up wasting two hours when they could have just looked at this.

[@scallawa]

Good stuff Alphonso! all now mi caan dweet doh!

[@alphonsodunn]

+scallawa LOL gwaan try same way man. Nuh give up yet

[@c0wboys4life]
