I am at the beginning of my art journey as my mid-life crisis hobby. For months I have been struggling on where to start, and how to learn it. Finally I have found this guy. He is straightforward and to the point where you do not have to listen to hours of lecture before you can just get down to business and practice the fundamentals. I am going to be all digital, but the fundamentals are all the same and there are some great brushes out there that simulate Ballpoint Pen and Fine Liners for Pen and Ink. I am glad he is still putting up videos. I have also got his book Pen and Ink drawing and plan on getting the workbook to go along with it. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.
Can I just say that you are a genius in explaining concepts in any easy to follow and easy to understand way that's both helpful and immediately applicable? It's obvious that you have a deep understanding of everything you teach in your videos because you simplify them so well for us. Well done, and thank you for all the lessons.
I'm so glad to see you posting these type of videos again I started my sketching journey with your videos and now I'm in architectural school and your videos have helped me a lot to get here. Also, I can't love anything more than ball pen sketching it's honestly so freeing to not have to perfect everything and still create something beautiful :)
Thanks a lot for such an incredible good tutorial! You broke down into a super easy approach something that I personaly have struggle with! Thank you!! Gonna study all this!
Hey, Alphonso! So I finished your workbook and read the other theory book that goes with it. I'm learning digital and I plan to use these exercises from the workbook to get myself acquainted with my tablet and software. It took me a long time to create my own patterns and textures from "imagination".
I really like your videos, they have been very helpful, they have helped me to advance in my technique, your book is not available in Spanish? Thank you greetings from Mexico City
If you love Alphonso's videos, I highly recommend buying his Pen & Ink Drawing guide and workbook. The workbook is fabulous. It goes over everything you need to know to be competent at ink and art. Work through ALL of the exercises and don't miss out on the 30 drawings at the end of the workbook to put it all together. Even after you finish, you can redo exercises to work on any weaknesses. I loved doing the texture blocks, cylinders, and spheres. Alphonso has videos of these if you're curious. The other thing is that Alphonso's book is ART instruction. Everything you learn in the workbook and guide can be applied to pencil, charcoal, painting, traditional or digital.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are easy to understand and really help with comprehending the fundamentals of drawing. I bought your book and use it in conjunction with other drawing lessons.
Thanks for the knowledge sharing. I've got your books and I really enjoy them. Can you share your tips when rendering volumetric lights? I try to render light garlands and I can't find any satisfying solutions. Thanks!
Im earlyyyy. I wanted to learn cross hatching because it always satisfy me seeing cross hatch arts and it might be the style that I will improve at. Practice!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been straggling a bit with shadows and imagine the item in box/cube helps a lot. Really enjoyed the video and felt like 30 seconds not 16 minutes 😄👍🏼
Would really appreciate if anyone can advise. Does his book “Pen & Ink Drawing” have guides in drawing in general or only for ink? I am new with drawing and draw with pencil. I want to know if his book would help me to buy it or not. Thank you ☺️
