Alphonso: I am a beginning artist. I'm 73 years old so I'm starting pretty late, but I have been watching as many of your tutorials as I can over the past 2 years; I've watched many SEVERAL times and have a bunch on the desktop of my computer! Your tutorials are always my "go to" place when I'm starting a new project.

Dear Mr. Dunn, I subscribe to your channel, I watch all your videos and they all, without exception blow me out of the water. This one.... wow! This is just unbelievable. Thanks very very much for making these instructional videos available for free for those of us who can't afford formal art classes. You have no idea how valuable they are, and how appreciative I am. I wish I could draw with even a tiny fraction of the quality and ease with which you do. Thanks again... Very appreciative...

I normally do watercolor painting but I wanted to try something different. I bought a set of micron pens and have been watching your tutorials. I love how you break it down. You’re a great teacher... and artist!

I love your kind of drawing , its so impressive and gives me inspiration , thanks a lot :)

You are such a great teacher and artist! That combination doesn't happen very often. Your enthusiasm is contagious. All the best to all your endeavors.

This video is fantastic because it is instructive and inspiring. Your tips about setting up the composition clarified some key aspects of perspective, and it was nifty hearing you think out loud as you decided what to draw. And then the magic started flowing; watching you call that little corner of the world into being was exhilarating. Thank you for teaching us. What you do for us is remarkable! You make drawing seem at once possible (I can learn!) and mysterious (the process is full of glorious surprises).

This is my Inktober2018, Day 28 drawing tutorial. I love landscapes and usually do them in water colour. this is my 1st attempt at a pen and ink landscape :). Thank you so much Alphonso. You are such an amazing teacher and artist.

I just recently began watching your tutorials and am impressed by your teaching. I don't understand why you feel it necessary to speed up the video. You are an excellent teacher, but while the video is speeded up and you aren't speaking there are opportunities for teaching which are lost. You're an exceptionally good teacher so I find it disappointing when your teaching is replaced simply by an exhibition of your brilliant skills as an artist. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who will feel this way so I feel confident respectfully imploring you to reconsider in the future using this technique. Thank you for generously sharing your considerable skills and talents.

I like that you really enforce embracing our creative side. To make executive design decisions upon what we would like to personally draw rather than a set guideline.

Hey Alphonso, this was so inspiring!!! I have kind of been drawing my whole life, but I tend to just look at a picture that has already been drawn. This video totally helped me to do my picture just off of the feel of it, thanks! =D

Best art teacher to ever exist! In a side note, I think the house in the background should be a little lighter since it's further away.

Alphonso, with the 1,000's of artist on KZfaq, you are bar none my absolute favorite!!!!I really appreciate how you take the time to break things down so we can learn "WHY" you're doing something instead of just "HOW"!My 10 yr old daughter is an talented artist and we both enjoy your videos.Thanks again!

You are a tutorial god send. You have every thing im trying to learn on your channel and i love you for that hahahahahaha

Thanks bro...I've been looking for a tutorial like this all over KZfaq. FINALLY!!!

Thank you so much for your videos, I have been following you for some time now and have learned so much from you it's amazing. I love the in depth you go into for each drawing, plus you have good taste in the music you chose. I'm a devoted follower can't wait to see more of your work.

You are very Talented!!! It's great that you have a "Never give up attitude". That always works for me too!!

I just loved your tutorials thank you, I am an aspirant comic book artist and you are helping me in drawing scenarios

The best tutorials for shapes!

Your channel is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the content !

Love your videos! So informative and you are an amazing artist!

that's amazing , thanks for your your effort to help us

Great! Great! Just amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial.

I was just curious. What are your thoughts on doing layouts and thumbnails for comic books? Could you make a video for that? You know, sketching out the comic book pages in small sketches. Just a request.

you are one of my favorite teachers, with my terrible english, i need clear explanations. thx

Thanx!! this video helped me a lot!!

Thank you .every lesson taught is easy to follow

A landscape demo Alphonso. Thanks for uploading

alphonso the goat 💪💪

I had heaps of fun doing this one,thanks for sharing!

Hi there your drawing of how to draw a river landscape scene using pen and ink is informative. I learned something new. Thanks!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank dude.

Brilliant lesson!

Very impressive, and extremely helpful. Good advice about not being afraid to flow with your efforts--see where it takes your drawing. I think there can be a god-like high experienced, during and after the creative process (regardless of the medium used). I find it intoxicating--in a good way. Creating true art has the power, potentially--to lift up the human spirit, to elevate a person's self image, to affirm and encourage people. A god-like power, imdeed. After all--we WERE created in His image. Shalom.

It's pretty awesome 👌😊 I also use to do this kind of line. Mostly I do line art, but now practicing doing Landscape scenery. Thanks for this video. It will help me to do this kind of Drawing. 🤗

I really hope your courses and book could be translated into many languages! That's great! I learned a lot from your video!

Great result. I think it takes courage to really get those dark values in.

So charming a scene. Oh, how I love pen and ink!,

fantastic job! ever since i stumbled into your channel last week i have really been inspired to start drawing again, keep up the awesome videos (:

your videos are super helpful!!!!!!

Thank you so much for all your work. I'd love to see some sky\clouds tutorial, if its possible. I think they are beautiful.

thank you for saving my life, i have project to present tomorrow and it includes drawing landscape views (trees, mountains, rivers..) and u really helped me to improve my drawings.

You are so awesome :) Love your videos!

These tutorials are so useful thanks!! (:

that was frigging awesome dude....im gonna try something like this....total newbie to pen drawing but I'm gonna challenge myself.

Amazing! Alphonso, can I ask, why did you draw vertical lines for the reflection of the house in the back but horizontal lines for the reflection of the bush in the mid ground?

it's amazing love your videos!!

Great video!

Great work man, I've learned so much from your channel - cheers from Melb, AU. PS - I hope you get a lot of free pens!

Thanks for the video on drawing!

I like this style!

wonderfull drawing sir

Great job! Hey I was wondering if you were going to continue your anatomy tutorials?

hi ALPHONSO DUNN , so beautiful maybe i try to draw it too :)

Wonderful drawing !

Very good. With Background trees, I tend to use the Stippling effect (Series of dots) and very lightly aswell because trees in the background are lighter to the ones in the front. I tend to use shad and light on my houses as well leaving one side shade, other side light. Not bad though.

Dope as brother

Its perfect.

his drawing at 3:56 is better than my finished version. :P

really beautiful.

It´s Great! good work bro!

Great drawing, cool music )

What is the song you used for this video? Thank you so much your the best pen and ink teacher on youtube.

bravo! è bellissimo !

You are amazing! Love your sketches. The simplicity of pen and ink is so inspiring. You are a modern Escher!

Wwooooowwww good work :3

You are the Bob Ross with ink and pen.

Amazing...

Great landscape scène

this is EXACTLY what i need now

Cool

As always very nice Alphonso, have you always used pen?

I am kind of new to inking, and I was wondering if you have ever had to buy new pens because they ran out of ink. I want to know how often you dispose them...or if they do not easily run out.

How many pens do you go through in a month, and how do suggest I can preserve/take care of my Microns? I love my 005 pen, but it's always drying out!! Can you suggest ways for me to take care of them and get the most quality/life preservation from my pens?

you make it seem so effortless

this is cool

Awesome Thanks

Alphonso do you have nature with pine cones leaves etc still waiting for book thanks from the uk

Really loved your idea about putting the ground on top of a 3d cube. That is a great way to visualize on site and "contain" some of the information. And your drawing are getting better and better too!

What type of pen and pencil your using please tell

what is that music? I want to know, it's simply amazing .. and yes so are your drawings .. Please let me know the name of this album??

I am so sad that I got this amazing channel after a long time😭😭

what kind of pen are u using it?? nice..

this is inspiring.. just rediates the atmosphere of the lake area i love it. how long did it take you to draw? oh and what music is it that your'e playing i want that on my playlist.

what kinda ink pen is that? i have a similar one but the tip is a little too bold. i need it as thin as possible :S

nice video :)

hello yes if you have one I've looked but maybe I've missed it pine cones leaves etc autumn stuff thanks for reply

More more more more more!!!!!

so basically just be an amazing artist

what's the best mechanical pencil?

Thank you

Very inspiring

What kind of pencil is that? i have been looking for something like that.

Ur awesome

Do you have any reference picture?

nice

who made the music for this video.

Great video, but it would have been even more helpful to instruct on the horizontal and vertical lines on the water. Instructing on how you created the reflection of the house in the water would have been terrific also.

This might be a faq but what kind of pen is this?

thanks

What was that first pencil?
