Pen & Ink Drawing Tutorials | How to draw ocean waves of a seascape

[@Emilafy]

I’m constantly in awe of your talents. Your tutorials are thorough and easy to understand. They give me the confidence to recreate this. But, of course, this is where talent divides us. I won’t stop watching. Please continue to share your talents (however). Thank you!

[@YourDailyJewelsNorahDowney]

You are such a great instructor. Thank you very much for so generously sharing your talent. You have helped me so much. I could watch (and listen to) you draw all day.

[@ivan1196]

nice squiggly lines for the top edge, and great explanation of the basic form. I'll use those principles in my ink illustrations to impress my neighbour from a minimum distance of 6 feet. Wish me luck.

[@shannvid]

Man! It looks so simple watching you do it! With great results

[@nokiot9]

Man, he always gets into the real technical stuff they don't teach me in school. None of this "how does it make you feel BS" I wanna know technical skill, not how to feel. Damn hippie instructors.

[@alphonsodunn]

+Tommy Ohlrich Lol dont be so hard on them. Sometimes people teach the way they were taught

[@wynfrithnichtwo8423]

I knew I should have looked this up this morning! I knew you, Mr. Dunn, would have a video on this subject. Better late than never because now I can do better next time! Thanks to your help!!! 😃

[@jkins8012]

This is awesome. Really helpful with a project I'm working on 🙌👌

It always amazes me how such beautiful images are created using simple techniques. Looks great, like always.

[@alphonsodunn]

thanks :-)

[@andreashaffner3435]

I’m really enjoying your videos and how you bread things down. I’m struggling a little on this one of how I turn these waves into a composition. How do they work together? I’d love to see a video like you did with your more triangular prism waves to know how to apply it in a piece.

[@valeriadudley321]

jUST found this. I love your instructions! Definitely subscribed!

[@dcbearpaw4]

[@No_Transitory]

Subscribed and liked.... your break down is like sick... this has to be the best video ive seen on making waves.... drawing waves. Amazing and yet so simplistic to something that can look intimidating to draw. Love your videos man and thanks for the information. Some artist would have you pay for such knowledge. Its sick out there. Keep the videos coming!

[@alphonsodunn]

🙂

Your videosvare extremely helpful and very well explained, thank you Alphonso

[@mr.chaotic3135]

Great video bro helped a lot I created some techniques I could use to help make this process smoother , so basically for the water curves I just took a stack of construction paper and bended it and started drawing it , for the water splashes on top I just thought of the letter y and those squiggly lines you see at a birthday party . DOPE VIDEO ! Hope to see more .

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. isso que esta fazendo ajuda a muitos. muito grata por postar videos tão bons

[@katemoonkate]

so good.Excellent explaining. I have used microns and copics , now into fountain pens (with waterproof ink cause I wash over it.) (i use one by noodlers, ) i have a good 5 dollar pen- Mengran brand-that will save a lot of landfill plastic and money, gives more character to the line than the disposables too.

[@tlabmusic4850]

I love your work and teaching style. Thanks so much for what you do. Can you tell me (show me) good techniques to inking skin tone/shadow without making the person look muddy or "black face?"
