DESCRIPTION
How to draw and sketch outdoor scenes and urban sketching tutorials as a part of learning how to draw landscape and scenery. In this video I am continuing the series on outdoor and urban sketching in which I address a wide range of tips, techniques, and concepts that help you with your outdoor drawing and sketching.
I used a ballpoint pen as a way of showing you can use simple and affordable tools to get your work done
I will provide tips on drawing with ink and pencil addressing issues with composition and perspective and explore combining or adding other media such as watercolor, colored pencil, etc. and adding color.
Music: "Morning Stroll" by Josh Kirsch
You are there clearest online instructor I've come across! Keep doing what you are doing.
thanks much :-)
you prolly dont care but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Mohammed Wilder instablaster ;)
@Benjamin Jaxxon thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Benjamin Jaxxon It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Never stop creating videos. You have no idea how grateful I am for your tutorials. Thank you!
Whenever I felt lost or like I'd hit a wall in my drawing, I've always been able to turn to this channel for help. Something as simple as going back to the basics really can help get your head back together. Just any video.
You're a great teacher. All the best, man.
your not only a good artists but a good teacher too.i learn a lot of using shapes in sketching and how u can organize it in our drawing.thanks
The blue pen has such a cool look to it! I really like the look as opposed to black ink.
me too
I got so bogged down when I would approuch an idea or project that I end up not doing it. Lost all desire.
This video has brought back the basics that I had some how "forgot"
I think you break it down very nicely for those that don't have this knowledge.
Subbed, Liked & a BIG Thank you for waking me up and inspiring again!
Alphonso, you make it look so easy. Can't wait for your book to arrive! You break things down and simplify them like no other teacher I've encountered. You really are a gifted artist and teacher. And honestly, you seem like s great person as well. The world is a better place with you in it! Thank you.
+Violetsme thanks so much! Glad I can help with your journey and progress
Really enjoy the Urban Sketching series!
Bro, i had some unfinished arts on my walls and was looking for some inspirational techniques, after I've heard your voice, ive imediately started to fill them out, even without lookin the video, just hearing your voice, you probably should make a podcast about your view and techniques, you're quite inspirational! God bless you, thanks!
I find the downgrading all the shapes into simplest forms very helpful! I really appreciate it! :)
I've seen other artists doing this when beginning their plein air painting sketches but never had it explained so clearly. Wish I could afford your book but am not working right now but once I am I think your book will be my sketching/drawing bible. Thank you so much for sharing all your years of knowledge!!! atb Louise :)
I love those blocks of value around where the road meets the tracks. Also so glad to to you back. I love these videos.
MLeeT21 thanks much.. it adds some contrast :-)
Thank you very much for your inspiring tutorials!
Thanks for the good instruction. I'm drawing nearly everyday, partly because your videos have helped me how to simplify drawings.
ruth terry glad to know I could help :-)
Thank you for the post. I ordered your book today. Can't wait to receive it
I'm a bit late to your tutorials, so it's just as well that you've produced a TIMELESS series of invaluable tips.
That idea of the fulcrum and how balancing can be achieved with different elements is mind blowing, yet so simple when you explain it that way. I hadn't considered that before, so I'll be paying more attention and trying this out.
A key takeaway from this video is your statement "SIMPLE to COMPLEX" and your FLEXIBLE APPROACH to design and composition so that the drawing process may be RELAXING and ENJOYABLE
Such a great instructor, thanks! Love your books also.
Good film! I'm glad I watched it, thank you Alphonso, I'll check out more of your videos.
Really enjoying this series!
Keiran On :-) Thanks much
OH GOD!!!
Mr.Alphonso, you have just opened my eyes on the whole thing!
I mean not only this series of videos, but every single one of them!!))
You know, your tips, your style and all that stuff are out of this world!
Having said that I have to admit that I am so glad that I found your channel! I can hardly pick my words in order to express my feelings!
You are tremendously talented while at the same time kind of a super kind person sharing your knowledge and helping others!))
Thank you so much, to say the least!
Outstanding!!
+Joe Pole Thanks so much for taking the time to share that...I appreciate that, and I'm glad you find them useful :-)
I love your videos. You break it down to make sense. Love love your videos.
Hooray, you're back! I just love how you explain things so carefully and simply that even a dope like me can understand. Cheers my friend and looking forward to your book.

Hey, glad to have you back ... I like it all - the tutorials, the music, the inspiration, and the philosophy!
Jonathan Jones thanks much! Glad to be back too :-)
Excited to try this out!
You make it sound and look so easy. Great tutorial.
Wow, wish this one was longer - so interesting to get your thought about design! Thanks for sharing, Alphonso, you're amazing!!
: ) thanks
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!
Love the way you explain and demonstrate how to think things through
No problem :-)
How did you get this good at explaining things? I really respect how well you break down and explain things...
Great tutorial!
MrYeshaav thanks much..glad you learned something from it :-)
Alphonso. Thank you for posting these videos. I especially enjoy the urban sketching ones who've done, although all of your stuff is really good. I thought I'd post and say that I recently purchased a grey toned pad and this has allowed me to use my normal black pen plus a white pen to give the highlights that extra "Pop". Thank you again for all of the excellent videos.
No worries. Glad I could help
The best instructor, love your pedagogy
Wow. This is the best explanation/visual on this subject I have ever scene. Absolutely great! Thank you😊👍
Love, love, love the whole series :)
Thanks for sharing your technique Alfonso. Once again, another great job. It's appreciated and circulated.
Vincentedrawit01 thanks so much
I have drawn for 5 ish years now, and never could "decode" a scene. I'm doing architecture at the minuite and this 1 video has helped allot and boosted my confidence thanks alphonso :)
Glad it helped! Thanks
Breaking down the complex to the simple and then building up the simple to the complex is a useful tool employed by many sketchers, but your mastery of this principle and your exposition of same is unparalleled on youtube. Many thanks for your teaching.
Thanks much 🙏
I have missed your videos you always inspire and make me want to practice and give me the site I need to male the piece my own :) thank you Mr Dunn can't wait for the book ! big hugs :)
i cant thank you enough! your videos have taught me so much more and i have refound my lost passion for drawing! i got so discouraged in highschool, because of the poor teaching techniques but your videos have changed all of that! thank you again so much
Youre very welcome. Glad I can help
Another brilliant tutorial. Thanks for sharing
scotrail1 thanks much and its my pleasure
As always a home run. Loved the video and breaking it down is what I have been struggling with. Thanks so much
thinkpadx60 no worries :-)
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I always struggle with drawing urban scenes and outdoors because I try to capture everything and get caught up in the details and tbings get out of proportion. But your way will help me sketch better scenes with better proportion and lighting that makes sense!!!
Your tutorials are so clear and helpful and I think you're an amazing artist!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great urban sketch Alphonso
thank you so much for the useful tips!
great sketches,the kind of stuff that I get into sketching,buildings and landscapes
Tim Bettcher Once it gets you going....
enjoying these series of videos. very clear. very helpful. thanks, i've been filling my sketchbook with random buildings and scenery using these principals
I have watched many of your videos and have been very impressed. As you go through life you find a very few people who are really outstanding in their field. I have had two people in 70 years that were teachers. You are number three. You have a gift as a teacher and a great artist. Your teaching skills are second to none.
Kent Wiggers DVM That means alot to me. Thank you so much

playgroundtown very welcome
Great video! Thanks!
Great tips! :) These quick scenery drawings look like a nice exercise.
+Musou-Enrai They are :-)
Hi Alphonso, only discovered your tutorials a couple of days ago, just what I needed, very helpful and my sketching already improving. Thanks
Dante Bird So glad to hear that. Nothing like progress! Enjoy!
jumping in and letting the pen move is more fun.. ... having a plan comes in handy.
1 word Mr Dunn
WOW...
YOU'RE INSPIRING ME
You explain so well... you break it down in bite-size information and all of a sudden we can grasp it. Besides drawing, I think that's one of your best talent. You're a great teacher. Thanks so much for sharing your knowlege with all of us :)
catnip63 The pleasure is all mine. I'm just glad its appreciated. Thanks
Great!!! I love your tutorials! Thank you!!!!
Thanks
Thank you, this is what i was looking for. Normally sketch whilst not thinking about much. Consequently, leading to slow progression. However, it's clear through implementing these fundamentals of sketching and sketching in an more conscious manner leads to better results. Informative video!
Thanks. Glad I could help
So so so excited about your Strathmore class...
