nice as alwayse, maybe your next book should be about watercoloring;)

[@alphonsodunn]

Hmmmmm🤔

[@rul9651]

That's actually a brilliant idea. Do it please

[@graziacavasino8884]

Yes, please!

[@daviddean6224]

Yes, Yes, and more of these videos please!

[@Myah_W]

Maybe on you could talk about color theory, lighting, and technique in using watercolor to be paired with your other books. I’ve recently bought both of your books.

[@greyareaRK1]

Great tutorial. Thanks. It's an interesting contrast with another artist I also follow who uses a very loose style; your's is very precise by comparison.

[@stevenpeterson5265]

Beautifully done!

[@antoniosaporito2540]

Excellent tutorial as always!!

[@jazz1056]

This is very beautiful! I have recently kind of fallen in love with the ink drawings. I have seen your videos before and have been impressed (and jealous too😊). Thanks for the tips in this video.

[@HaschkeOne]

A watercolor portrait would be awesome ;)

[@alphonsodunn]

Hmmm🤔

[@SlackwareNVM]

Great video, Alphonso! A bit of an off topic question, but were those anatomy sketches on facebook materials for a video, or just drawings you've done in the past? I'd love to see more if there are any..

[@alphonsodunn]

Drawings I did in the past. There are more

[@omarramos563]

Your such a great KZbin channel keep it up

Great work!!😊👌

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks

[@23232Bing]

is it even possible to learn how to draw anatomy and draw from life by learning in youtube. I really like to draw manga just for excitement but they say its easier if you learn anatomy and life drawing before drawing manga

[@cherylvargas9228]

How do you get your #2 pencil sharpened like that?

[@Sannoon93]

Your audio sounds a little bit different. . New mic ? This has a more calm feeling to it. thank you alphanso you can't imagine how much I appreciate and get excited when you post a new video 😊

[@fernandosebastian9051]

great video alphonso, great colours too, greetings from argentina man

[@josecerrato6819]

Hi Alphonso really nice thanks, would be good to link in the description the pictures you used to understand how to decode the colors better. Thanks for sharing

[@stevenpeterson5265]

Your right about the ink speaking softly.... I use pointillism and end up putting to much ink down, need to work on letting up a little.

[@rtistik94]

very cool... always dig your videos!

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks

[@shantanum3395]

Great video as always! What is the name of the White Pen used?

[@alphonsodunn]

[@alphonsodunn]

Glad you find it helpful!

[@oldlinkjo]

I love your videos, and just bought your book :D Would it be possible to provide us with a scan of your drawing with each video? That would help us as a model to work on your teaching!

[@alphonsodunn]

Thats something I want to make available soon. Working on the method

[@holdmypen9308]

Awesome Rendering

[@germanlarcher276]

Hi, first of all, congrats, excellent video!! I have a quick question: what is the last white pen that you use at the last of the video? Thanks

[@germanlarcher276]

Thank you buddy!

[@LauMarLi]

Amazing tips as always, thank you! Do you have any tutorials on adding movement to drawings? I've searched your channel and couldn't find it.

[@sidykuroart]

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much. The info is in the description : )

[@doktorhyena]

[@alphonsodunn]

[@jersey282]

I bought the book! I'll try and leave a review for you. Another great video.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks you. That means so much!

[@lottiefaith6935]

Does it feel as easy as you make it look? : ) I love watching your projects, they start out as a simple sketch and with a few quick strokes of color or pen they become alive. Birds are one of my favorite things in life so I enjoyed seeing you create these beauties. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family.

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks so much

[@pluggnbunderground2145]

I'm a 16 yr old artist trying to get the concept of art

[@alphonsodunn]

You can

[@حندجةالثاني]

nice

[@tbrown6559]

Amazing!

[@flux0841]

you and peterdraws are my favorite youtube artists

[@micahbraun8160]

nice video! what kind of water color do you use?

[@alphonsodunn]

Schmincke

[@danielhill4054]

hey what is the white pen you used to add highlights? (I couldn't see it in the description....) i have struggled to find a white pen fine enough to add detail like this

[@alphonsodunn]

It is a Gelly Roll pen. I agree its tough to find one with a fine point. I often have to resort to just using a dib pen and white ink

[@danielhill4054]

thanks for all the great tips Alphonso 😊

[@claychick100]

Oh my goodness! I just found you and am awestruck! Such talent. Wow!

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much : )

[@robinbrown7953]

Yes...working with watercolor, go light to dark..and with oils, I always go somewhat light, then darks, them back to lights to highlight. Your channel is awesome....you really give a great drawing /painting class. I love working in watercolor, especially wet on wet. I also love working in pen and ink.

[@alphonsodunn]

+Robin Brown thanks much : )

[@tattinggirl4341]

[@alphonsodunn]

Thanks much : )

[@pavel6783]

sir you are great ..but i will say that as a water color its look really hard..sorry to say///

[@alphonsodunn]

Trust me, it just looks that way

[@pavel6783]

Sir you are great artist no doubt..i love ur work because u teach very simple way..but i do love and practice watercolor..watercolor is all about its softness..when color become hard its not looks that great..if required u need to use that also..but how u building ur color and tones that way probability is high to become hard..For that reason wash is the best way 1st tone...then gradually tone u need to increase..Sir i say all this not meant to heart u just i want to convey my view..and also want to see ur work much better way..i am not great any one just simple student who is learning..but still wanted to share my thoughts with u sir..i send a drop box link one of my work.. www.dropbox.com/s/ebww67foi5l01tk/DSCN2485.JPG?dl=0
