Tips on how to make flowers appear soft | How to draw flowers Pt3

[@meltdownremix1996]

You're my favorite artist on youtube, period. Every video is a joy to watch, with amazing and clear explanations that help a lot, and your amazing art. I can't buy your books as of now, but I hope that sooner in the future I am able to, and even without that your videos go a long way on making youtube a better place ♥

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks so much 🙂

[@brenttaylordotus]

I'm jealous of your pen control. Make it look so smooth.

[@alphonsodunn]

With practice

[@jamesgoel2256]

Purchased both your books and working my way through all your videos. FANTASTIC! Keep up the great work! My drawings have improved dramatically and I'm working on my techniques more than ever due to the inspiration provided by your work. Thank you!

[@beverlydorris7557]

I’m so excited. My two books arrived from amazon! I will be taking some vacation time and delving into them Watching many many of your videos has given me the principles of texture, volume, tone, shading. I can draw but I have never been educated in the hows and whys. soooooo helpful! Thank you. You are great at teaching

[@alphonsodunn]

thanks so much : )

[@shirleysmith2434]

Thank you. Your tutorial is so well explained that I feel I can venture in attempting it

[@citigirl3238]

excellent description of how to capture softness in drawing a flower!

[@ingeleonora-denouden6222]

Thank you Alphonso. I'm planning to have 'plants - flowers - fruits' as my theme during Inktober (combined with the prompts)

[@alphonsodunn]

Thats an awesome idea. Would love to see how it turns out

[@just_Ren3]

Thank you a lot for these tipps! I’ve been struggling to find any good tutorials or anything else that could help and I’m really glad for your help. I love how you explain it so simple and very into the detail at the same time. I hope you have a great day and thank you again for this amazing help

[@chardupre5971]

I love your book. It would be fantastic if you could make a drawing book dedicated to just flowers 😊

[@NKBPICTURES]

I Purchased both books and they both have been beyond helpful with my artwork plus add with youtube videos is a must have in your art arsenal. Much Respect

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks so much

[@storeo_222]

Thank you so much for the videos. Could you also give a demo on how to draw reflections in the water with an ink pen? Especially if the water has light waves, made by ducks moving.

[@debricci8533]

You are awesome! Will you eventually paint these beautiful flower petals?

[@HeyamAffash]

you make the drawing easy as it can be .. many thanks .. I didn't make my decision when I will start learn drawing , but am still fond of following your channel .. all the best

[@alphonsodunn]

Lol Start today 💪 Just do it

[@booster-b3568]

[@BikerMomRideouts]

Wow! You have a new subscriber! Concise, precise, informative tutorial! Thank you!

[@CheleinSF]

Thanks for this! I love all of your tutorials. Botanicals are my personal Inktober challenge so this is perfect. I will be revisiting all of your flower videos 😍

[@alphonsodunn]

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

I just found your channel and love it. Im trying to translate your drawing hints into watercolour. Im struggling with how to make realistic looking flower petals. with watercolour...mainly vein placement and how to make a petal roll over (e.g. a rose petal). Do you have any videos that would help with this. I did have a quick look, but you have so many videos, I thought it would be easier to ask you. Thank you.

[@amexjam55]

Very instructive series on rendering flowers in pen and ink. Thank you, Alphonso.

[@supapornfahlgreniks6465]

[@inguracka]

I have ordered a copy too. Just as i was watching his tutorials, i thought i might use it for inktober ! But it has not arrived yet :( takes weeks to get it to Europe. Expected, arrival only 11th of October. Good luck with yours!

[@SlackwareNVM]

Hey Alphonso, do you have plans to continue the anatomy series? Also, great video! Thank you for the valuable techniques.

[@alphonsodunn]

Yes I will, I know I abandoned it for a while

[@LimakPan]

Could you make a video about making portraits of young people? I noticed that because young people don't have that many wrinkles and generally prominent features, it's difficult to portray their depth. It's somewhat similar to the difficulties these flowers have.

[@alphonsodunn]

Just softer and lighter shading

[@giiiiiuuuuuuuu]

that's exactly what i was looking for, great video!

[@alphonsodunn]

[@berryzem]

I am definitely using these techniques for Inktober. Thank you so much for the video! ♥

[@moonram2569]

Thanks for the informative video !! Would love to see more on flowers, toned paper inking and using brush pens -- guess that's lot of requests :):):)

[@alphonsodunn]

Lol I’ll definitely add them

[@1958shiner]

I just received your workbook and looking forward to learning more. Before I get started I wonder what pencils or pens to use on the individual pages. You suggest in the beginning what to use for the workbook but not on the individual exercises.

[@alphonsodunn]

a fine point is fine

[@김두부-l8n]

This is amazing. You helped me completely!

[@alphonsodunn]

Hi Alphonso. Love the drawings can't wait To get your books and give it ago myself. I have 2 questions: 1) what size mechanical pencil do you use 05 07? 2) what is cartridge paper like for watercolour? Thank you.

[@alphonsodunn]

05 and cold press 140lb or multimedia paper

[@813monkey]

does anyone know what type of pen he is using?

[@poorartist5486]

Wow

[@royvarghese5609]

How do you handle value when there are multiple colours involved? I recently tried to draw a flame lily. As a beginner, it was a flop. I couldn't quite figure out how to get the values to represent the red and yellow. I realise red will be darker than yellow. But how can I represent that without it registering as texture.

[@alphonsodunn]

What was your medium? Pen and ink, graphite, charcoal?

[@royvarghese5609]

Pen and ink. Technical pens.

@@alphonsodunn thanks for responding so soon! I love your work so much. I used to draw using different mediums but got away from it; we're talkin' over thirty years away from creating!😣 However, creators such as yourself have begun to spark inspiration within my heart yet again.

I have followed you for almost 2 years now and your books have been in my Amazon cart for quite awhile, I will get them soon! But, what I wanted to mention to you is that I didnt expect to come across a review of your books while watching another youtube artist I follow. You might have already been made aware, but just in case here is a link to your books reviewed by Mind Of Watercolor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3WUcotjrr2Dgpo If I didnt already think your books were going to be great, after listening to this other youtube channel about your books, I want them even more.
