Thunder and lightning outside, a tutorial from you standing on my coffeetable and pen and paper in front of me. Sounds like a perfect morning. Thank you for your tutorials, sometimes its the supertiny knows that you show that make me a better artist step by step by step. You are an inspiring example for me.

[@alphonsodunn]

[@tigathon]

[@alphonsodunn]

tigathon yes, a while ago, but havent followed up on it. I will soon

[@freya5100]

Thank you Alphonso!!! You explain everything very good...

[@Silv3rTheBunnyIsLit]

Thank for the tips! I'm loving the cat eye since I like to draw more of common mammals but a lot of times I do eyes and like then for while before losing intrest so this eye will be cool to use :) :D

[@matthew-wyattburress3958]

do you ever use brush pens? If not you may want to try it. Its similar to the nib pens ect. you showed in another video. I myself enjoy using them and found that the Copic or Sakura brush pens are the best (for me anyway) they have great ink that last well. :p PS: be careful with the Mircron pens, they burst. Compared to a Copic much cheaper, true but if you travel bring something that won't ruin everything in ink once you open your art case. :/ also if you get the chance i would be eternally grateful if you did a video on Batman, like you did the Hulk. :) if not i understand. Also, i wish to applaud you, not only for your easily understandable tutorial but also for inspiring me to draw again. Im in AP Art this year and i sometimes need a boost.

[@Kyee71]

Lol eye’deas

[@wonderfulhurricane2069]

Oh the pun😂

[@keta7280]

good, thanks

[@abdamit]

I... I think, this could by my "thing"... pen and ink drawing... watercolours and ´just-pencil´ allways seemed for me a little, uhm, shallow (?)... but I have seen that when I draw scetches in my free time at work or at home with a ballpoint, it feels a little more lively... is this how you say it ? my english is not very advanced ^-^

[@LordofFungi]

I believe what you said is well put, when using ink and pen to draw things are permanent you can flesh it out in pencil lightly but it takes extra precaution and care, I'd say that's what makes a drawing satisfying to complete

[@silkelykkesletten4090]

I like it

[@hiutale]

Awesome teaching! I love your videos! I might just learn. You explain the "basic shapes" -thinking well. I will try at least :)

[@alphonsodunn]

+hiutale Thanks. Just give it a try :-)

[@tarvares4530]

Cool videos and I love art and my last name is Dunn to

[@AmbiCahira]

The frog eye somehow turned into something really fantasy style concept. The eyelids looks like a hoodie shirt and the eyeball is a sfere and the pupil is a person running this creature, we just see him from very far away. :p

[@alphonsodunn]

hmmm so imagination you have : )

[@noof7512]
