I just ordered your first book for my 68th birthday present and am excited to get it. Many years ago I got an art degree but was never good at pen and ink work. Your videos have convinced me that if I follow your excellent teaching I can improve tremendously. Thank you. I'll be getting your workbook soon.
My girlfriend got me this two books for xmas using them in less than 30days I've seen a huge improvement in my paintings because my line drawings as im prepping my canvas or watercolor paper is 1000% better. Thank you friend
Not only is your instruction helpful and very easy to understand, but the fact that you chose to use piano music rather than the SUPER annoying happy-funtimes stock electronic music that Literally Every Art Video Ever tries to use just earned you a ton of my respect. I can’t wait to try out what I learned here! Great video!
This is great! Thanks for sharing. I've picked up fantasydrawing again after several years (I've been doing different kinds of artwork from back then an unitl now) and I still have problems drawing dragons, lizards, etc. with scales that look like scales. But now you've helped me realize that I've been cutting the wrong corners. So thanks again for sharing, Sir!
I ordered the workbook a while back and I'm so happy with my purchase. Its a great book that kinda takes the anxiety out of harder things to draw like textures on a 3D surface. It was 1000% worth the buy. I can't wait to buy the other one.
wow thanks for the video! I have been drawing scales & textures And taking college level art classes for YEARS and 1) I never considered doing this 2) nobody ever mentioned the grid technique!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!! I love drawing scaled creatures and often use scales and other textures when I draw and this REALLY helps me!! Btw I also just saw your "how to draw rocks" video and it's helping me A LOT because I always disliked the way I drew rocks and recently started doing studies of crystals (that visually resemble quartz, like amethyst, citrine etc) and I also didn't like most of what I drew. Now if I could draw feathers and fur properly … I'm going back to see what other videos you have
Wow-I've watched several videos on drawing fish scales and yours is the best by far: the suggestion of drawing on a curve makes sense-animals are moving! You're a brilliant teacher and artist. Thank you! Subscribe :)
I've been trying to draw a snake and I couldn't figure out how to draw the scales properly since I am a beginner. This video really helped me get a handle on what to even practice. I am very interested in your books. I'm going to order them soon, and I subbed to your channel. Thank you so much!
This is the 1 best and most helpful Muti explained how to draw scales videos so I can draw my scaled dinosaur for my top secret dinosaur creating machine.
Hiya greetings from the UK. Thank you for this awesome tutorial, it’s exactly what I needed. Your book also looks like something I’ll ask my partner to get me for Christmas! ☺️🙏🏻
Thank you so much Alphonso. You make magic happen on the paper with your pen, pencils and imagination. You teach with an easy to understand style. I love to draw, but never took any formal lessons. I watched many of your videos and now am applying your lessons to my art and what a difference. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge to help others. Be Blessed.
You have such a confident smooth stroke. It's a joy to watch you draw. Im getting back into it after years of npt drawing its tough but im pushing improving ⚡
Trying to nab these but thank you for your videos, they’ve helped me so much and I always love seeing fellow black artists succeed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 wishing you nothing but the best for your career and your work!
Alphonso really enjoying your workbook, encouraged my family to give it to me for Christmas. Love the idea of drawing in the actual book, simple idea. I really enjoy your drawings and get enjoyment out of just looking at them. Big fan of your videos by the way, would appreciate more videos related to some of the exercises in the workbook.
brilliant: i have been asked by a friend to paint a snakes head on a wooden walking stick, so i thought i had better start by drawing it: your great video, will give me a start: many thanks
Yes I was waiting for a texture video. By the way can I persuade you to maybe make a video on curvilinear or 5 point perspective drawing. Most of the videos I found are to vague and try to cover too many aspects in a small amount of time. I would love for you use simple 3 dimensional shapes in displaying to how draw in that perspective. And maybe some anatomy forms also in that perspective. I'd really to love see you tackle a subject like that.
do you think you would be interested in doing a tutorial on hatching black skin and other darker skin tones? i bet there are some people beside myself that would be interested in that.
Its almost embarrassing how long it took me to link that the way you draw the grid is the exact same way fishnet tights wrap around a leg. Which made a great reference to lool at to make the grid easy to draw
Can also also do a video on how to draw the texture of *Angel wings?* Or you can pick a bird, such as a *swan,* whose wings resemble how angel wings are often depicted in illustrations. I would really love to see a video on this topic!
I received my workbook last week, and it is great ! Thanks a lot for this nice job, and for your videos i am watching for some years now, even if i draw once more only since last week, due to your workbook ;-) so thanks again from France !
Any chance we will get some more anatomy videos? Also, do you teach classes anywhere? You're far and away the best teacher I've ever seen. I'm in art school right now and I learned more from you (in general and especially with Anatomy) then I have the entire time at college. While I get theory is important without practical application it does little good. Thank you so much for these videos,you're an invaluable resource to artists of all skill levels.
Normally I woud just draw like "3" shapes until I filled everything. Seeing your method is awesome and the way you explain it. Now I'll always try to draw scales like this. One more thing. Can you cake a video about feather texture? I always draw them like lots of "u" shape and I fill my birds with it. When I was 12 it was so cool but now I am 20 and I think I have to upgrade that. I am sure you know how to make some awesome feathers, if you can I woud like to see it
Would mind demonstrating a cauliflower some day? I find the volume and texture really difficult, and have not been able to find any convincing ink drawing on the web. Thank you very much, and all your videos and both books are really tremendous and very helpful.

Even the other artists at our tattoo shop were excited about it
I literally just cannot comprehend the hours of practice it took you in order to be so skilled. Keep up to great work!
😂Omg thank you so much. I’ve been struggling with drawing scales for days now so this video is very convenient. Your an amazing artist

Hey Alphonso, thanks a lot for all These lessons. I bought the books and both are perfect

Thanks for making this one! I bought your book and was having trouble drawing scales. Laying the scale on the grid was not so easy - cheers!

Thank you so much! you're a great teacher
I am going absolutely crazy i just can't wrap my head around this
Its almost embarrassing how long it took me to link that the way you draw the grid is the exact same way fishnet tights wrap around a leg. Which made a great reference to lool at to make the grid easy to draw
That was pretty clever if you
@@alphonsodunn Thanks! I was trying to understand the grid for almost 2 hours before i thought of using that as a reference 😂😂😂
could you do a insect skin tutorial?
Alexanderblack 2512 It should follow the same rules. Which insect though? Their patterns different greatly
@@colbysmith4079 maybe beetle skin what intriges me its the refletcion on the shell/skin of the bugs
Alexanderblack 2512 ah, you just shade it kinda like a chrome object and add a bit of texture
Your tutorials help me so much, thank you for being there for us, mere mortals :)
