IM NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY THIS WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO EVER! It literally summarized everything I’ve doing wrong and took my drawing to the next level. Thank you so much

@kyleokeeffe525 2 жыл бұрын

Actually though - I've been trying to develop my ability with pen and ink on my own for years, thinking 'all it takes it practice, and it will come' but what you're making accessible to us here Alphonso has let me understand how to really make my practising something that's actually proving my ability instead of just confusing me further lol

Wow. The simple fact that you lettered your corners has changed everything for me. This made shading so much easier. Thank you so much for making these videos.

Thank you! I wondered how to do this for the longest time but you nailed it! Anchoring the plain with A, B, C, and D then playing with the perspective of the shape made understanding how to shade so much easier. Thank you for taking your time to explain this concept. 🥰

@parsifalkitty5109 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Got back in the habit due to it being a nice past time and test of my brain's empty space thanks for showing the variations. The anchor points are a good tip so my drawings feel like they have more depth and a bit more realism in it.

Alphonso, not only your art is breathtaking, but your art in explaining things is unparalleled. I love both of your books. I hope you come up with a third book with more exercises, and a fourth book that may cover any possible skill that may not have been covered in your preview books. Thanks for sharing all this wonderful knowledge....

Wow! Just the first 4 minutes of instruction explained so much! Thank you, thank you! When I first started trying to draw in pen and ink 30 years ago, there was no video instructions on anything, and I had to rely entirely on books, which are a lot harder to follow than visual demonstration. This makes things SO much easier, and I am SO grateful.😃

Isn't it a marvel, to be able to have a question, and simply go find out how to do it?! Instead of trying for years and possibly just giving up altogether. Absolutely stunning. I am grateful every day.

This is perfect. I was looking for the examples on the curvatures. I do have a question though. If we are hatching say a finger that is curved, or in a fist. the direction changes. I find my hatching looking very strange when the direction changes. How do I hatch elegantly or seamlessly? I need to look through your videos on building values too. I'm pretty bad at it now

@carolannefisher1516 2 жыл бұрын

Q: if you’re converging Horizontal strokes toward the vanishing point, shouldn’t you also make the vertical strokes get closer to each other (denser) as they go back in space on a plane? Similar to how light posts look like they get closer to each other as they go away in space. Superior video, as always!

@alphonsodunn 2 жыл бұрын

True, that does happen but for our purposes we can ignore that effect. Remember, our lines are not representing actual objects, but to convey value (while aligning with the 3D shape of the form.) I know it may seem contrary. but in this case, if we do that, then the viewer will think value gradation which isnt our intent

What a great tutorial. Thank you so much! Now, I am thinking what is difference between shading and cross hatching if you are using a pencil? Is one preferred over the other? Or ultimately they are the same thing, and cross hatching is a method of shading?
