Simple tips on how to draw or doodle 25 mouth expressions with one shape

[@HISANY83]

The trouble with this channel is that binge-watching can't be helped.😅

[@lifeisbutadreamm]

Thank you so much more for making this content, I just started on my journey of becoming a better artist recently, and your videos are so full of knowledge and a clearly deep understanding what you're teaching, I've found that practicing your exercises have helped me improve drastically just in the last 2-3 months, and I plan to continue!! Thank you again!

[@alphonsodunn]

Glad I could help : )

Hi Alphonso, You are a brilliant teacher, I have learned so much from your tutorials about how to draw and I am very grateful to you for that. Not only that, you make the process of creating art very enjoyable to see and easy for me to learn from. I have always found anatomy a difficult subject to master, the terminology of anatomy, the names of the body parts, the names of the muscles, the bones etc, but especially the rendering of the human figure I have struggled with, especially getting the proportions correct. I feel it is an ongoing labour of love to master, but your videos are like a blessing. I have been trying to get the proportions right in my drawings for years, but now I see where I was going wrong, I didnt fully understand how easy it actually is to do, because I never learned how to measure proportions correctly. You have shown me how to overcome that and I thank you for that. Moreso, you make the whole process of drawing a fun and enjoyable experience, whereas beforehand I was overwhelmed by other art teachers and their techniques, because I thought I had to study anatomy at a University level in order to get it right in my artwork. I hope it is okay to ask you some questions in regards to light and shade, and to how light behaves. I have never been to art school and I have always just drawn from my imagination. Do you feel it is good to draw from life in order for me to grasp the way light and shaddow behaves, and not to just copy from photographs for example, to study a subject and to see where the light falls and to really observe the different grades of the shaddows in a subject? I wish to become a successfull artist, but I am mainly self taught, in other words I have never attended any art school. I feel I can learn from watching your videos and from continual practice every day. Up to recently, I have been using pencil as my main choice of medium, but lately I have taken a great interest in charcoal and also in soft pastels. Anyway, thank you for being a true inspiration to me, Art is like a salvation in a way for me, it is all I wish to do and therefore I really want to be the best I can possibly be. with my kindest regards, and gratitude, JL.

Thanks so much for that comment. I’m sure your journey will be an inspiring one to others. When youre learning on your own its critical to focus on and study the basics to ensure you have a solid foundation. Draw subjects you find interesting and expose yourself to quality art that inspires you. Feel free to send questions

[@ArpLaszlo]

Man - that was sooooo helpful. Thinking in terms of 6 points instead of a continuous curve is genius!

[@kingfarito5850]

I've never learn't how to draw ten times faster and more accurate with your videos with anyone other than you. You amaze me really. You make the hard stuff a piece of cake. It's been a year or more, and you still ARE the best "teacher" of my favorite hobby.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks so much! That means alot

[@kingfarito5850]

(^_^), May I make a request? I've been wondering on how to draw motion lines with ink and pen, would you create a video ? As in when someone is going for a punch, a sprint ,as well as where part of the person's body is "blurred" as the person is moving. Much appreciated! And if not, its all okay.

[@jahayrac8636]

My goodness, this was just brilliant! Thank you so much! My mind is completely blown. wow! That was so incredibly unexpected and useful. Thank you so much, I look forward to your new book! By the way, the music is sooooo cute and just on point with the style of this video. It suits the 'character' in your drawing and all of it's expressions. ^_^

[@lisalisa20907]

Thank you for all of your lessons! I am buying your book right now!

[@alphonsodunn]

: )

[@mickmcewan7837]

Happy new year dude, great to see my favourite artist back

[@nvang13]

Brilliant!!! Mouth expression has always been a sticking point for me. This is fantastically helpful. Looking forward to your next book(s).

[@hushushfie3730]

Such a lovely and easy idea to improve one's skills! It really all comes down to basics huh

[@alphonsodunn]

Always down to the basics

[@virginiefloutier4687]

Amazing! Can't wait for the eyes and the noses!

[@alphonsodunn]

: )

[@alexanderzankevich8270]

Thank you a lot! As usual great and funny lesson :) It's really awesome that you are going to make tutorials and book on basic drawing. In you pen and ink tutorials you have great pencil sketches but to be able to draw such by myself I had to find tutorials on how to draw them on other channels. It's not bad but it would be great if you made separate tutorials on how to just draw some of you works and them shade them with pen and ink. Thank you again, Alphonso! P.S.: just yesterday purchased your book ;)

[@nk-ql1po]

AWESOME WORK MY MAN !!

[@alphonsodunn]

[@RekhaKaula]

I'm really looking forward to your beginning drawing system book. Because I am a TOTAL beginner :) Love your videos. Thanks!

[@jadechristine1790]

Love these tutorials... I can literally draw/paint anything! Except for people.. Never really tried but these are so useful to learn before trying.

[@alphonsodunn]

Yup, give them a shot

[@jadechristine1790]

Alphonso Dunn definitely will do! You explain literally every and I've found others on KZbin sometimes don't. Love your watercolour paintings too!

[@scquut992]

Maaaaan you are the bestttttt teacher

[@kimanndoherty6951]

your videos have made such an improvement with my drawing, especially breaking it down to grids and solids etc, Thanks so much.

[@alphonsodunn]

Very welcome. Glad I could help

[@swaddington9399]

Alphonso, these faces are so much cooler than any emojis Ive ever seen, you should be in charge of creating all the worlds emojis!

[@alphonsodunn]

Lol that would be fun

[@shadowseer07]

This is amazing! Thankyou!!

[@marshmallowpuff4899]

Greatly appreciate your uploads. Nice and simple but very effective.

[@apeeatape]

Pretty smart! Great video) Thanks for the tip )

[@TheEpicSands]

Hello and thank you again for another great video!

[@trollinglevel95]

Happy new year brother, amazing video as always!

[@alphonsodunn]

Happy New Year!

[@rscasas]

Simplicity is what I 'm struggle with. Your videos help me a lot. I use some of your ideas as warm up or simple routine to improve in this topic. Thanks for help me!

[@janesamuels7714]

Got my pen & ink drawing book today!!💃

[@bizuayehumeshsha6729]

you are real teacher

[@annieq8186]

It's like you read my mind, i was wanting this! You are so amazing!

[@alphonsodunn]

Glad I could help

[@ginahemery5660]

Your tutorials are the best I have ever come across. Please please could you do one on 3/4 views of the head : ) . Wishing you all the success that you clearly deserve.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much! : )

[@johnnywhite1681]

Very well done! Thank you. That will definitely help my drawing.

[@alexmehler6765]

haha liked this video with both my accounts, thanx man , this was really fun-- i made some lips tutorial yesterday , now i will try to combine those simple shapes with the more complicated lips rendering

[@alphonsodunn]

Thats awesome! Thank you

[@doveliz12]

Thank you!! Really helpful. Yes please to noses and eyes.

[@alphonsodunn]

: )

[@omedha.4176]

Wow, that was very interesting and useful. Now I can also apply this knowledge independently on the eyes and and nose, because I understood what you did there. Very high quality content, so glad I found you!

[@beast98demon36]

Thank you for amazing tips

[@jutta3378]

Genius!

[@ishi7559]

Aww, what a cute video. The music suits it perfectly too. Alphonso, I love the way you teach. I'm an absolute beginner and I don't know where to start. Do you mind creating a playlist for people like me? That would be very helpful. I just watched your video about 7 basic lines which was excellent. Maybe number the videos in sequence? Thanks.

[@alphonsodunn]

Definitely will do that. I have been asked that often

[@ishi7559]

Yay! Thank you!

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

Loved this. #5 made me giggle for some reason. Thank you.

[@alphonsodunn]

Lol

[@alexthe1cat]

Alphonso--I love your tutorials and find them very helpful and informative as an aspiring artist. I would love if you put a video together than addresses doing a whole person--face, body and motion--in a few positions. I enjoy your concentrated videos on specific parts (eyes, nose et al) but would benefit on learning quick-draw techniques to capture an entire person(s) more quickly and less concentrated. Hope that makes sense! And please, know we love all the sharing you do here!!

[@alphonsodunn]

I understand. I will

[@ajurveda1]

You are the master of the drawing. Thank You for drawing.

[@alphonsodunn]

Very welcome

[@PurpleSoma]

Thank you so much Alphonso!

[@alphonsodunn]

Very welcome : )

[@bonniechavez5162]

This will be fun to doodle.

[@alphonsodunn]

Yup

[@Pawgee]

i love the book!

[@spoonvvv]

Thank you for this! Mouths, for some reason, are impossible for me to draw!

[@alphonsodunn]

No now, 🙂

[@motiondude]

Awesome I will find it useful in motion vector paths

[@franticgemini9954]

Haha, nice vid... All those different versions.. awesome :)

[@sobarschool]

very Nice post.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks

[@averagekoolaidenjoyer]

What ppl think an artist pencil is like: $10000000 pencils made for artists never gets dull and can reach any value! Alphonso Dunn, a true artist: absolutely destroyed pencil that u could find on the ground w a paintbrush attached to it 😂😂😂

[@RazaiArt]

Nice work.. Keep it up..

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much

[@mariaquijandria7900]

eres un genio ojala yo pudiera siquiera lograr una linea como las que hace usted

[@BMXRenzo]

awesome tutorial but please do a drawing heads form different angles

[@natenhomaisideias]

Thumbs uo if you saw the numbers as eyes and the eyes as the nose! If you this, you're either tripping or you're an artist! = p

[@yngvarsskald]

Thank you for your video, it's help to draw

[@therealandreb.elpedes9403]

+Alphonso Dunn Can you do a tutorial on drawing with "mechanical pencil" (the right way)?

Alphonso Dunn oh, thank you!

[@robinl9206]

[@alphonsodunn]

This is like perfect timing because I seriously just started practicing how to draw lips (and not just line mouths)
