I love this! Thank you for making these and elaborating on cross hatching. I am a hand engraver and I engrave a lot of small ornamental scrollwork with chisels and shading really involves using tapered parallel lines and hatching selectively to add depth to the work. And with scroll work designs you really need to follow the contours of the growth of the plant to make it look natural and real. This helps a ton!

Alfonso, I ordered your book and it put me on my way to becoming a really good pen and ink artist! I took one class locally, then worked through your workbook and it was like magic for me, turned on all the lightbulbs I needed. Thank you, great job.

@ArtistTheArtist05 8 жыл бұрын

I LOVE your crosshatching tutorials, it's my favorite way to shade and it helps me focus when I have no idea on what to draw, I even made a design that's made with opposing crosshatches in my free time, wish i could show you though, keep up the vids man they're awesome

I seldom leave comments on videos, only on the truly exceptional and your videos are just that. I will try to keep this short. I wanted with all my heart, as teen, to be an artist. But I had really bad ADHD. I lacked the focus and patience needed to learn. I took art in high school and was heartbroken at my lack of success. I gave up that dream and turned my creativity to many forms of crafting. I am now 63 years old and over the course of my life I have learned how to overcome much of my attention deficit. I stumbled on your videos. They are perfect for me. You explain everything so clearly while simultaneously demonstrating the principles. I am going to start drawing again. I'm saving up to buy your books (I'm on disability and my income is limited,) In the meantime I will keep watching your videos and practicing what you teach. Thank you for being so generous with your videos. You have the eye and heart of an artist combined with the soul of a teacher.

Alphonso, I suggest to all of my printmaking students that they should watch your videos and own your book. (pen and ink translates easily into an intaglio print.) the care you take in describing how to see and draw is amazing. any artist can benefit from your words, whatever medium they choose to work in.

Yay! New Alphonso Dunn vid! I set aside time to draw every day, and I know it is thanks to you that whenever I don't want to draw (probably avoiding my drapery practice) or am just brain dead I practice basic shapes and parallel lines. I'm finding that I'm improving even on my bad days! (and on my good days I work through your book, so thanks for that as well!)

As someone who once did a lot of stipple drawings and crosshatching your video was still engaging and reminded me of basic things that only come to mind when the ink hits the paper. I'm sure you've saved me time. Thanks so much. ;) ... even your hands are expressive and nice to look at. Take care, Alphonso!

Thank you thank you THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. It might be years old now, but it helped at least one more person. Your emphasis on consistency and “enhancing the form” gave me a mental breakthrough. Especially seeing it applied in the preview/next-video clip at the very very end. I just couldn’t figure it out before, it wouldn’t look right. Thank you so much.

Thanks this has been a wonderful guide, the importance of form indication is something that I underestimated but by making demonstrative simple forms I really see how it can put an otherwise good drawing out of its rails. And yeah crosshatching is wonderfully versatile, like I also like the power of line density to darken areas
