You know what?? Out of all the videos I've ever seen on youtube, you make such informative ones. They are so awesome and detailed and you are good at it. I found your channel a few days ago(from another youtube video, someone had made a comment about your channel, I will thank them too :p) and I was like- damn it. This person is so good at teaching!!! You seriously deserve more than 320K subs. You deserve a lot more. I hope that soon enough you reach at least a million.....because you're too good to be not noticed ;-; Even in these few days, I made a point to try to see one video each day and they are so helpful....I hope you continue doing this.... I never really type such long comments but this time- I was seriously amazed at your talent at drawing and teaching as well. What's more? You aren't selfish. You share all the good tips and font advertise at all. //except the book but I lowkey wanna but it XD I hope I can keep learning. I was kinda like- my art ain't improving but now....I think it might. All the best to you man. This comment is too long though. I don't think you will ever read it too but if you do by any chance....THANKS （ｖ＾＿＾）ｖ

You are a outstanding Teacher and I completely understand everything you show. I have several learning disabilities and it's very hard for me to understand and retain what most people teach. You explain every step perfectly and go over it again ! So I can't thank you enough for all you do. I paint just about anything in acrylics and now I'm wanting to paint portraits but in order to do that I have to know the proportions and properly draw the portrait first. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching what you know to so many others.

Hi Al, you have taught me a tremendous amount as a mediocre self taught drawer, dare’nt say artist. I’m just drawing to improve. I really like the way you explain things as you see it and in layman’s terms. The way you dissect your drawings and tutorials into areas and sections so that we can learn aspects of the drawing as a whole is brilliant, mate. You have given me so much knowledge of the complicated and complex subject which is known as ART. Thank you fella. Dave ;-)

"Best" drawing teacher I've had the pleasure to experience, mostly by purely listening to his articulate arguments in defense of his style -- with the emphasis on his own learning years. I can't wait to order his book and catch-up on all his available instructive videos. Alphonso is intuitively organized the order of his presentation and the important placement of tangential elements related to the underlying basic structures relevant to his subject. He simplifies very well. His warnings about natural negative detours all well considered. He is obviously a very kind person, if one only judges by the interaction with his daughter. I SUBSCRIBE for sure!

I've tried learning proportions for a long time through KZfaq videos, but all they tell is - eyes are halfway (& 1-2 more things), that's it. But you explained everything in such simple terms, like comparing the head shape to a pentagon, & mentioning that brows are 1 eye up above the eye, it's so simple stuff but nobody ever reveals, you did, in so much detail, I truly wish to thank you in person, I'm so grateful that you made so much effort for everyone. Thank you so much alphonso :) You're not only good at drawing but also at teaching :) Thank you so much. I'm not sure if you'd ever read such a long comment but I hope you do :D Lots of happiness to you :)

I've been a fan of your work for a few years now, and what first drew me to your videos was how interesting it was to listen to you talk, even about concepts I thought I already understood. You describe your methods so thoroughly, but in a way that's easy to understandand follow, and with multiple examples (!!). You've also covered a bunch of concepts that are fundamental to the interpretation and representation of light and form that a lot of online art tutors forget about, which is BEYOND incredible. Your work is both educational and inspiring, and I really want to thank you for putting so much energy and time into sharing your hard work with us.

I have been struggling with face proportions since i started drawing and I've seen nearly every video on youtube to try and figure out what i was doing wrong. I knew that i was making my faces too long but i didn't understand why, this video was nothing but "ah ha!" moments for me. I finally have the facial land marks i needed to be able to relate all of the features to each other. I have improved more in the past hour then i had in the past year. I will definitely be picking up your book!

I do paint, but wanted to learn how to do more realistic work. Also my own designs. I realized that know matter what you do you have to learn and know the basics first. also you keep coming back to them no matter how much you do. This is where I keep drawing faces until I get it. then I will go to the side profile. thanks again for such an opportunity.

Question about size (width) of the eyes in relation to the height of the head (19:00). How do you find the width of the eyes? If the head is 20cm high, how wide is an eye?

You should have the size of one of the features to make the whole face. You also can make that way, but its much difficult (sorry for my english (

I really appreciate your guidance - the trickiest part to pick up for me was figuring the way the ear sits - without hair. I finally caught on watching the third time. Overall WONDERFUL. Many thanks. Bought your book too which really should be mandatory if benefitting from all the hard work of these videos. The theory of practice you preach is so relevant - a great believer of the 100 times rule to master anything.

Hi Alphonso, I'm getting so much out of your tutorials, thank you! I do however have a question about face proportions based on this video. When I start with an eye (just making up its size), I'm able to find the other proportions easily, but when I start with a vertical line and find the mid point, I don't know how large to make the eye. I know the width is 5 eyes, but how does the eye size or face width relate to the height of the face? Sorry to get technical, I just find myself getting stuck here. Thank you, S

Do not try to draw the eye alone in all that white. See the line where the face turns sideways and introduce the large shadows. And yes make grid lines like Alphonso Dunn for the shadows (lightly of course). Also in line with they eye see where the noses turns and lightly indicate the shadow. Indicate the shadow above the eye and below and see where the shadow aligns with the nose. Then you will see that the eye almost places itself. Always (whatever you are doing) keep attacking the whole impression emphasizing shadows ESPECIALLY the large ones. It works believe me. Hats off to Alphonso Dunn. Thanks Alphonso for everything.

@alphonso I love the tutorial but I have trouble with finding one helpful measurement. The head is 5 eyes wide but what is the height? From chin to top of the head. When you start drawing and you make eyes to big you can easily find yourself in a situation where the head is too short.
@dancermage4 7 жыл бұрын
Lewandowski Bartosz you can use ears yo measure your the height of the eyes. for example, top line of the eye is in approx same line to your ears and bottom of the nose is the bottom of the ears. then you can guess. about 1/4 of your ears is yur eyes but then I am an asian. it could be different to yours.
@alasdairreed4370 7 жыл бұрын
Did anyone work this proportion out? It would be useful to know especially for absolute beginners. It is the only measurement not given by Alphonso. Of course eventually you would just eyeball it as Alphonso does, pardon the pun. Never the less this is a fantastic video and very helpful, Alphonso is the best teacher. I have a small tip for those starting to draw characters from the imagination. Use Alphonso's systems for the face, practice practice but when you make a small mistake, eg a nose is a little long , ears or eyes are very very slightly at different heights leave the drawing as it is and you will end up with very realistic face. A good way of making use of " mistakes" . All faces if you look closely are very slightly uneven in some way. Portraits are a different matter, the variations from the model have to be very precise but luckily we have Alphonso and practice to help us with that.

After doing many pencil drawing of friends over m 'many' years, I've only NOW understood something about the proportions of a face. So interesting! I'll have to watch it again, pause the video and copy the notes. As you said, memorising this stuff is important. And practising. Must put it into practice after watching g the rest. Thank you Alphonso, your explanations are very clear.
