    I first found your channel about a year ago after more than a decade of drawing and I can’t thank you enough, man. You’ve completely changed the game for me and put me onto a whole new level I never thought I’d be capable of. Any chance I get I share your channel with anyone who tells me “dude I wish I could draw like that”. Because of you I’m able to visualize my drawings in a 3D space and to finally wrap my head around how it’s affected by the lighting.
    Thank you so much! I’m so looking forward to finally having your books!

    I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I just want to give tremendous props to you for educating and introducing me to pen and ink as an art form. The transfer of a gradient world into binary black and white using texturing is fascinating, and inspires me to keep drawing. Cheers!

Thank you for all that you do bro, you are a super teacher. Hope one day you can maybe produce a book on pencil drawing. But thank you so much man appreciate you

    @VeryBlueBot Před 5 lety

    Thanks, super useful like always and does goes perfectly with the book (which I love, cant wait for the third one).
    My struggle is with shading right the single element of the pattern. like in the top cube "crates" this is where things goes wrong for me.. textures that do not require that like hair (the middle cube) are much more easier for me..
    Is there a better trick for that or just - think about the light source and practice more??

    • @alphonsodunn
      @alphonsodunn  Před 5 lety

      Could you try to be a bit more specific about what is it you find challenging. You said “the single element of the pattern,” what do you mean?

      @VeryBlueBot Před 5 lety

      @@alphonsodunn well, for example the cube with the crater like pattern (its the top one of the 3 cubes in this video). So a single crater needs to be shaded from the inside and the outside.
