DESCRIPTION
How to Draw a tree as part of learning how to draw landscapes and scenery. This tutorial provides simple but simple but powerful tips on drawing trees using pen and ink shading techniques
See my other videos on pen and ink drawing tips, tricks, and techniques :-)
This man is an excellent teacher .One of the best on you tube . He has renewed my interest in drawing and I am an old geezer.
Wow! Thats awesome. Happy I was able to rekindle those flames! keep going : )
I was just thinking the same! Great teacher. I just started drawing with pencil (and I'm in my mid-50s!). I would love to start trying pen and ink now.
I can’t agree much! Indeed, He’s One of the best here in youtube! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He inspires me to draw more practice more ,
@@artwithjoy0920 I agree!! well doe on this video!
This isn't just art class, this is therapy man
I was thinking the same!
Right off the bat, I noticed when he asked for a review he said “whether it’s something good or if it’s something constructive”
Rather than saying good or bad. I love the mindset.
i had, SO MUCH trouble drawing trees before i watched this. now, they look like a tree intsead of a stick with a pom pom glued to it. thank you.
lol @stick with a pompom glued to it. Thats funny. Glad I could help : )
Hahaha I had no trouble drawing faces but drawing trees was torment until I found this video, which is a Godsend. Glory be to God 🙏
I’m having an Alphonso binge moment and honestly I can spend my time just praising you. I’m blessed to have come across your channel.
God bless
God has abandoned youtube
@@olledelaat3173 - Lol. Not a smart comment that’s why I laugh. I know you’re more intelligent than that.
I'm drawing so many trees now!
Lol
Omegawerewolfx
SAME
I wished trees grew as fast as u drew...
Mabe u can start a career in drawing trees
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever ever ever seen. I swear I’ve been watching tree tutorials for my art assignment for at least three hours cuz I wanna draw it nicely. And this tutorial taught me so well I got the hang of it right away
This is absolutely the best video on how to draw trees I have ever seen! I have been a high school art teacher for over 30 years and found this so helpful!
Just rewatched and jeez, this was helpful!! Originally watched this a couple years ago and it was helpful but my drawing skills were..rudimentary at best! But now I could follow along and my drawings actually looked like his!! Such a wonderful teacher, easy to understand and follow along with, Alphonso, you've earned the title of "Best Pen & Ink Teacher on TH-cam"!!! Thank you for getting me over a hump in my drawing!! Thank you!!
During quarantine, I've been watching a LOT of drawing tutorials on TH-cam and yours are by far the most informative and instructive. You have inspired me! Thank you so much! I just ordered your workbook.
Just found your channel. You have an amazing ability to put what you're thinking and seeing into words. I learned more from this than any art lesson I've ever had. Thank you!
+RubleTrillions Glad I could help : )
Now that the new year celebrations are over I have made my resolutions and the first one on my list is art related. I have decided to improve on my drawing skills including your wonderful pen and ink series. I have gone out and bought a selection of sketchbooks (usually I do my sketches on scrappy bits of computer paper lying around the house) and I have invested in some new ink pens and other equipment. I'm planning to have a separate sketchbook for each subject you teach. I hope I have the willpower to follow my new resolution into 2018 as I am sure this plan is going to improve my artistic skills in leaps and bounds. Do you have your new book available on Kindle yet? Thank you for being so generous with your amazing knowledge and for explaining everything so meticulously and unselfishly with your calm clear voice. You are truly an amazing inspiration to all artists on this planet! Happy New Year to you.
Me, too! 💖
@@joanray6897 Great new year resolution! how is it going? how much have you grown since 2018?
I’m not a visual artist by any means but I’ve gotten into doodling lately and I can’t believe the tree I just drew after watching this video. I’m in awe. I can draw a good tree now. From my own brain. Without a reference. Thank you
Thank you for your channel! I've never had an art lesson in my life... but I always "wished" I could draw. Your demonstrations and commentary are so clear and helpful! Now that I'm retired, I have stopped 'wishing', and started practicing! Thanks for the thought, time and effort you put into your free content!!!
Wow! You've got a great way of explaining shadows with regards to trees. Nobody else ever explains it properly (or at all) in other tutorials - it's something I've been struggling with. Now I can finally make progress in my drawing and painting of trees.Thank-you!
Yayyyy 💪
Glad I could help
Alphonso dunn, you're simply the best art youtuber and teacher out there, no cap.
This video put a massive smile on my face. I’ve been learning from your books as I’m a manga artist (or gradually working on being able to really call myself that) and it’s been invaluable. I have a scene with my main character soon where I need her to be isolated by a tree and I wanted to see how you do it not just read it and I was blown away. I just love your books, and I love your spirit, be playful, have fun, don’t stress just feel blessed that we have paper and ink and whatever other supplies we love to hand.
Just a wonderful teacher and I’m so grateful that he makes these videos. I’ve already watched a few of them and like the other gentleman I’m now even more excited to get back to my first love drawing.
+Alphonso Dun. I feel you have taught me in 20 mins more about art than my institute has in 2 years :)
This was one of your first videos I watched when I started learning to draw 9 months ago. It was interesting then, but the unity and variety went right over my head, and I didn't quite grasp the jellyfish form you were explaining. Now I've been returning to trying to draw plant life recently, with a little success but things just out of my reach. Watching this video again, and doing a drawing while I watch it, it's really clicked in my mind and helped me. I understand and can apply what you're saying. Thank you again for all your awesome videos.
Bro I don't know how you can give such a detailed explanation I just subbed
Slow spoken, but, easy to follow, and very helpful. Awesome! +1 sub
+Goofist Mcnutty thanks :-)
Another extraordinary revelation. I was looking at trees so differently today, with such joy and a deeper awareness than ever before. I bought your book and workbook and I am methodically working through. It is wonderful to be back in school again with a compassionate and highly competent teacher. I cannot thank you enough!🙏
After 8 years, I am still here watching your videos. I also bought your books! Thank you again for sharing, hope that I can draw better.
After a long break, I am back to watching your videos, Alphonso. I realize what a wonderful teacher you are after watching a lot of other ones on YT! Don't get me wrong, there are lots of good instructors out there, but you are on my short list. Wonderfully done. Ok, gotto stop watching videos and get down to work!!
Thank you so much! I'm trying to learn how to draw, and I especially love drawing nature, so this was a great place to start! Great tips :)
This is the first time I’ve come across your drawing technique and what can I say, wow wow wow? Thank you so much for doing this you are an inspiration and You’ve made things so much clearer from the basic tree I just drew from a book/drawing course. I’m going to be practising.
I am glad to find a person who explain things in a easy manner.
thanks a lot for this useful video! I particularly like the description of the type of strokes, which are not often explained when drawing trees
Very helpful and professional! Thanks!!
Youre welcome
I love your lessons! Thank you. Even though this is an older video, it’s still pertinent!
I want to give this more than one thumbs up! I watched it multiple times. First time to try the scribbles, then to learn the shading of the trunk. Casual, playful, the strokes just look so good.
+Sophia Feng Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Love his teaching style, calm why/how and not a lot of unrelated chatter. His love of art comes through without all the “fluff” many others incorporate.
You're a great teacher! Great explanations, you give me hope!
Thanks. Glad I can help to inspire. And yes there is much hope
It was such a pleasure to watch this tutorial, thank you!
im so thankful that i've found this channel. it taught me a lot.
You are one of the best teachers on TH-cam!!! I've learned so much from you!
Thank you. This video has brought me much clarity as it pertains to drawing organic forms in general and trees in particular. Another classic demo.
Thanks
just got new pens for Christmas this helped a lot thanks!
your videos are hands down my favorite. straight forward but never boring.
Thanks much!
Thank you Alphonso, your videos are so helpful, playful and you make pen and ink drawing fun and easy to learn. I just draw my first ever tree from step 1 till the end.
its such a relief to find a channel like yours where focus is not on drawing a fantasy; but what,why n how to draw n most important why to draw?? , otherwise everything i want to draw is outside. Congrats for having such great channel !!
+Rishabh Mayank Thanks so much! I'm glad its appreciated :-)
Welcome!
Best teacher in the whole world💫💫💪 I'm addicted to these videos!😍
Yayyyy! Glad they help
I honestly didn't know what to expect at first but I glad I did! I learned so much! Breaking things into small segments really makes a difference!
Got here after a number of other videos but this is by far the most impactful on me. Excellent explanations. Thank you!
thank you so much!! very helpful! I wish I could find these videos earlier, but never too late to learn though!
its never too late :-)
I studied you book so much and the outcome was really amazing! Thank you soo much!
yayyy...Glad I could help and thanks for supporting it! : )
Thank you so much Mr. Dunn. I just started drawing a few weeks ago. I am 55 and I have no knowledge of drawing but already looked at some youtube videos to learn a few things. Today was the first time I saw one of your videos because it popped up after I had seen another one from another channel, on how to draw trees. I am following your tutorial and my trees are looking a little bit more real instead of just a flat shaped tree, like I used to do in elementary school. Thank you so much. I also appreciate the way you teach. You explain things very well. I am so excited to do more trees with your tutorial. Thank you.
It's the best tutorial of drawing trees I've ever seen. Thank you!
Hi Alphonso. Just wanted to say that I happened upon your videos while searching for ink drawing techniques to further my own skillset...and I struck gold. Thank you for posting your professional and helpful tutorials; they are inspiring, insightful, and jam packed with so many great tips and techniques! In this digital age, you've reminded me of how rewarding pen on paper can STILL be! Now...back to drawing practice... :0)
+Anthony MacDonald lol thats so awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share that : )
Oh shit, I bought your book, 'Pen and Ink Drawing" the other day.
Total coincidence coming across this video. Thanks for the help man :)
Thank you for putting this video up on TH-cam! This has helped me significantly. You are an amazing teacher!
Thank you so much. People would charge money to make such tutorials. You just do it for free. You are a great man
Wow! I love this kind of tutorials. I subbed you, keep doing easy but amazing results tutorials! I also like your way of explaining us technics of drawing... Thanks
Thanks much : )
So helpful, thanks for a fantastic tutorial on drawing trees Alphonso. I love the way your trees look so full of life and, as you say, personality :)
+Jane Kirkwood (Artsy Otternut) :) thanks so much
That last tree was awesome.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm halfway through this video and making trees simultaneously, it already looks like i mastered trees. This tutorial is awesome.👍👍
my favorite art teacher !!! thanks i want to buy your book !!!! ❤❤❤👍👍👍
: ) thanks so much!
I LOVE your videos soooo much! Thank you so much for all the time and work you put into them!
To do a work and to teach the same work requires different skill sets. The explanations are perfect and beautifully explained. I have been looking for this topic for almost 2 years, and now I have finally got this tutorial. Excellent tutorial, beautifully explained, and lovely output. Great artist and teacher. Thank you very much...🙏🙏🙏
You're truly an amazing teacher. With most tutorials, even at the end you think "Wow they make it look so easy but i still suck" but you're tutorials are so clear. You really understand and are able to express how and why you think of things a certain way. I've learned so much in just a couple of videos and I really feel like I've enjoyed this experience of transitioning from just being able to draw stick-figure-like flat drawings to complex drawings that look life like.
Thank you so much for taking your time and expertise and deciding to share it with the world! We truly value it!!
Thanks. Glad you can learn from them
Such masterful and natural draftsmanship :o
Thanks so much! Your tips are SO easy to understand and implement! Thank you thank you thank you!
"All I did was scribbles."
It's stupid how versatile that is.
"Hey, how do I draw a pterodactyl skeleton?"
"Did you try scribbling?"
"Huh. It worked!"
You are a wonderful patient teacher. Thank you for sharing your insight and gifts.
Your videos actually "teach" me to draw.. It's like an Online Class. You explain the total conception so I understand why things are done the way they are and not the other way.. You speak very calmly and laymen. thanks alphonso.
Very welcome : )
Super helpful video! Can a lot of this apply to drawing clouds?
Hello Alphonso, It's Alicia the draftsman. I finally found what I'm really interested in, "trees". I like the description you give for the branches, "The line of balance". My favorite trees are winter trees. I can draft with tools but I can't draw free hand. I noticed watching different videos that the majority of the artists are left handed, as most artists are, but you are not, so I suppose that I have a chance as I also am right handed. Continue with the wonderful work ,I will continue to watch. Thank you.
Thanks much
i don't think whether you're left handed or not really have anything to do with this??? sorry i just don't get what do
you mean
So glad you are remaking some of these. Great idea. Love your varied music choices too Alphonso.
+Bartholo Clumpdink Thanks much :-)
Brilliant! Thank you sooooooooo much for such a clear method approach to trees. I feel much more confident now. Inspired!
How the pencil ip is not breaking eludes me
: )
SegolasZoso not pushing hard
@@MrJoeblofromidaho THATS WHAT SHE SAID

I have to buy your book. No doubt about it
Thanks so much!
Nina Perry Iam waiting on my copy atm
i got my copy!:)
locca1 nnnnn
Finally some good and not 3 hour tutorial, thanks you!
Thank you Alphonso. I love your teaching style. I have always had trouble with drawing trees because I get bogged down in the underlying structure of the branches and detail of the leaves. Your advice to be playful and yet mindful of consistency is very helpful. Right as I am drawing along with this video, I am starting to get it.
I'm interested with your book-You have kindle edition?
Coming soon
"So what is the technique of using pen and ink?"
"No technique."
Wow. I'm just watching it and my mind is getting blown of how simple drawing a tree can be.
Much thanks Alphonso! You're awesome. I used to hate drawing trees, now you have changed my mind forever.
I have been following you for a while now and I had to say, you are an incredible teacher, truly gifted. Thank you for all the wonderful videos on your channel, I have noticed a marked improvement since I started following you.
Watched one video. Bought book.
Thanks so much
You're as cool as a potato that's a good thing I'm Irish
+Alphlash lol
I love this guy! I’ve learned so much from this one man. He really gets into shading and shadows easier for me to understand. I love the way he explaines stroke, shapes and forms as well!! Thanks dude!! You’re the best!
The clearest explanation I have ever seen. It's really helpful to understand the structure of the tree and how to draw it! Thanks
Man's tutorials have a morphine like affect on me haha
I swear it looks like you can make something out of nothing just wow
+Arnell :-) We all can
Loved it! Learning so much from Alphonso's videos!
Another great video Alphonso. Thanks!
get a ring light!
It's amazing how he explains....,he is a great teacher....🙏🏾
You are an amazing and wonderful teacher!
This is excellent. I know this video was out for a while, but I hope you see this and know your patience, clear instructions is still inspiring viewers like me to give this a try. Thank you for this!
Alphonso you’re the most amazing teacher. Thankyou so very much. I am truly loving your videos and I will get your book. You have taught me so much already.
You are the best drawing teacher, Alphonso! I love the tree drawings I've made as a result of your lesson. Thank you so much!!!
Very welcome. wish I could see them : )
These are brilliant. Thank you so much. Getting mildly serious about my childhood aspirations to draw and these make great exercises.
Definitily ,one of the best art channels ,i can not explain how much inspirationt and knowledge this channel gave me ,and absolutly improvement thank you sooo much
5 years Later still an Amazing Tutorial!!
Bravo! I learned a great deal and look forward to my more of your tutorials. Thank you.
Omg thank you so much for helping me. I've always wanted to be able to draw and just couldn't wrap my brain around certain concepts. Thank you for breaking it down in a somewhat easy way that I can follow. I appreciate you!
Excellent videos all around! Thank you!
Thanks Alphonso. Very helpful!
Thank-you Alphonso!!!!!!!!! Learning to loosen up my hand and mind drawing and you are assisting me in this process with your very friendly and respectful of ones' freedom style.
+Claudia Maida :-) very welcome
