Came here from that video. Alex is such a good teacher
@@nelsonyiap81 He's amazing! Here is a playlist of Alex's tutorials: czcams.com/video/zXXPvJPP6oY/video.html and here is another playlist of Alex's critiques: czcams.com/video/yXN8yOO2j9U/video.html
I just learned so many things in thirteen minutes, both from things Alex said and from getting to watch his process. The Art Prof demos are always so high quality, y'all are awesome
Alex is the best! We're glad you resonated with the video :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This is amazing, I learned a lot. Thanks a bunch! Alex should seriously consider doing voice acting, very pleasant range.
That's great to hear! Yeah, the running joke at Art Prof is that Lauryn Welch (another Teaching Artist) wants to fall asleep to Alex's voice. 😂
I love the videos posted as one full course like this! I also really enjoyed watching this process. Thank you!
Wonderful! You can see many more free courses on our main site here: artprof.org/courses/
THIS. GUY. GETS ME. Excellent vid, thank you so much for the awesome tidbits!
I love this idea of illustrating these cute little stories from a place! Definitely going to try it!
such amazing content!! thank you for keeping such quality videos for free
this is so amazing! i love how he explains the process & his technique.
That's such a brilliant illustration. It might be relatively simple but with the ink gradients it's something I'd love to see on my own wall. Plus knowing the quirky backstory to it, so awesome
Thanks! Yes it's so fun to hear all of the twists and turns in the process that lead to the final outcome.
Thanks bro, I thoroughly enjoyed the video and the information shared. I learned a lot from you. Thanks again.
Great work! love the style
This helped me tremendously for an upcoming project concept I am trying. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
LOVE THIS, love the story. The methods, the richness of the research, the art, the techniques, you are such an excellent guide. I love that u chose making history sketches. It's divine. The plague series seems so fascinating. Thank you so much!!!!
You're so welcome! Thank you so much for watching, we're happy you enjoyed it :) History can always inspire such engaging stories, it's a wonderful place to pull inspiration from! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This is a well-integrated, professional instruction. It contains a terrific balance between high-flying, front-end, conceptualizing, and the details of execution. Congratulations to everyone involved - unless any sheep butts were injured in the filming of this video
We can assure you, no sheep were injured! Haha, thank you so much-- we're so glad you enjoyed it. If you liked this video, you might also enjoy this pen drawing tutorial: czcams.com/video/DB8RrJCH0zg/video.html feel free to check it out :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Good lesson...he knows the lead and how to swing it
Im on an art prof binge and I swear if I hadn't just woken up, I'd be lulled back to sleep by Alex. He has such a soft demeanor. I also now want to draw sheep haha
He has such a calming voice! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Just found your work, love your story connection, history to art. Fantastic thx
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This is one of my favourite techniques now. Thank you!
Woohoo! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Excelente video hermano explicación simple y clara acerca de los los tonos de gris gracias y muy motivador
¡Muchas gracias por tu interés! Nos alegra que disfruten y aprendan de nuestro contenido :) -Darinka Arones, Art Prof Staff [Translation: Thank you for your interest (for watching the stream). We are glad you enjoyed and learned from our content.]
I really dig the process behind the creation. I have a similar method built in for my own process that sometimes outsiders don't understand. That having to build it up and evolve it in my mind before deconstructing it for a project. I probably sketch less than I should, but I have to see the forest to sketch the acorn, per se.
Yes I think a lot of people don't realize how much can happen before your brush hits the paper to create the final artwork! -Prof Lieu
I love listening to Alex' voice. Very gentle and calming. Actually reminds me of Bob Ross haha. I really like his illustrations as well. Very children's story book.
Thanks again, Art Prof! Learned a lot. As always. 😊 I still cant draw from imagination but this vid helped a lot in explaining the process of an original and historical work w/ a comical twist!
That's a great way to describe Alex, haha! Good luck with your drawings-- drawing from imagination can be really tough, but practicing definitely helps :) This video might be useful if you'd like to check it out, it's about drawing imaginary landscapes: czcams.com/video/u_sTsHODa0k/video.html - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Wow ...great work
Thanks for watching! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Wow, you are so calming, I really enjoyed watching this, as well as finding it very enlightening, thank you 😊. I love your work.
Alex seriously has the best voice, I could listen to him all day.
Inspiring! I really like the both, content which I could learn from and also the personality of the artist which was quite nifty; and by the way, the video was very well made so thank you very much.
Thank you!! You might enjoy Alex's gouache painting tutorial as well: czcams.com/video/0I7DnrfskI0/video.html

Love ur channel, it’s informed me so much , thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for watching! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Such a good and interesting documentary. I like the research of history and hands on part, I agree in that it really expands your experience in what you're drawing rather than just relying on google images.
We did something similar with guinea pigs in our Creature Design tutorial! czcams.com/video/YasNlmE6IBo/video.html -Prof Lieu

More Ink painting Videos plsss!
Yes!! I love those vids :) check these out: artprof.org/?s=ink - Mia, Art Prof Staff
As the wife of a farmer, I totally appreciate this episode. Animals are super funny and quirky, glorious and awe-inspiring. All at the same time. Thank you for this great lesson!
That's amazing! We're so glad you liked it, animals make such great subject matters in art :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Saving this. I've been wanting to draw with ink..not just micron pens but ink in bottles, with fancy fillable pens, or maybe those Chinese brushes. I just haven't known where to start. The range of pens and inks is overwhelming. Maybe this will help.
How are these classes completely free?? What an amazing resource! Thank you
Our content being 100% free is part of Art Prof's mission, to bring visual arts to as many people as we can! You might enjoy this video which explains how we got started and is a peek behind the scenes: czcams.com/video/Khu_mzqSNqo/video.html -Prof Lieu

Awesome!! You might also like our Imaginary Backgrounds tutorial, which uses ballpoint pen and watercolor to create a scene with a character: czcams.com/video/u_sTsHODa0k/video.html -Prof Lieu
I don't know how I got here, but I'm into watercolour now
Very interesting narration, can you plan more of these on-field studies? Very cool this video!
We're happy to hear that! We'll totally plan similar content :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Really awesome...tutorial..perhpas theonly one i have found online the breaksdown the entire process of a pen and ink illustration fromnstart to finish..I loved your explanation of how you set up your tonal values for your wash...The only question I have is apprximately how many parts of water to parts of ink you use to create the various tonal washes for example ...say for the light gray wash what size cuo are you using and how many drops of water and drops of ink do you put in it..(ex: 6 dropswater to 1 drop ink..or whatever etc)..But I must compliment you again on a very valuable and thorough tutorial
Glad you enjoyed seeing the process beginning to end! I think the # of drops of water you put in really depends on the ink you are using; some inks are really strong, others are a lot more diluted. I think the important thing is that whatever you do in terms of ink quantity you do that it's relative to the mixtures to get a range of gradients. So if one cup has 6 drops, the next can have 4 drops, the next can have 2 drops. I almost always end up having to tweak the mixtures a bit, which is why it's good to test out your gradients on scrap paper first. -Prof Lieu
11:28 Oh, i would like to see how to draw like this "the scary picture" light, shadow and darkness atmosphere. It should be done only with pencil, right?
Amazing
Thanks! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof your welcome
I will give you the first Like :)
🙂
Wonderful video.
Can I ask what size rapidographs that is?
I am looking for a general size for similar pen and wash drawings.
I'm sure I'll get several, but where to start?
Also, what about the isographs? They seem very similar.
Thank you
The Rapidograph here is a .35. amzn.to/2xncHMQ (Amazon Affiliate link) we don't know what an isograph is, you can look it up! -Prof Lieu
so i tried and set up like you with four shades, but found i ended up just using the two lightest ones and building up layers. looked okay, but what advice can you give?
Personally I love layering techniques! Sometimes I'll do something similar-- using light shades to build a base, then going in with a darker shade for detail work/darkest darks. That packs a punch! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Please can I tell me what brushes you use and another question, what is the pencil you use , how light or dark that is, I’ve watched other illustrators , they don’t rub out their pencil lines until they have applied the pen, why do you do that at that stage? What thickness of pen did you use for this drawing? I love your art work it’s beautiful. I’m so glad I found your channel I’m a qualified artist but have not used pen and ink for years , since my student days ! I’m currently working on a book I’ve written and attempting to illustrate, you have given such inspiration for how I want it to look . Thank you so much 😊
Hi! All the info on the supplies and other resources is on this page on our main site: artprof.org/learn/pen-ink-wash-illustration/ -Prof Lieu
What sketchbook are you using here? Does the paper handle the ink well?
The brand is Hand Book, best quality paper I’ve ever used in a sketchbook and the price is great! Many sizes and colors offered. -Alex Rowe, Teaching Artist
Excellent instruction! I’ve a few questions about your brushes. What is the flat brush you use to spread water over the paper? Is that a watercolor brush you are inking with? Does cutting the handle down help or is that for portability?
Thank you! The flat brush was my 1 inch stroke brush! It's a little expensive compared to other watercolor brushes, but I've had the same one for almost a decade and the angle makes it ideal to apply smooth coats. And I use watercolor brushes for inking, but I never use them for watercolor again - it's just easier for me to not worry about any potential color tainting left over from ink - I clean my brushes well, but there's always something it seems haha!
And purely for portability! I had a pencil case that was perfect but just a little short, so I snapped the end of an old brush off :) -Alex Rowe, Teaching Artist
@@artprof Can you recommend a 1 inch stroke brush? I know a bit about small round watercolor brushes, but the wide brushes are new to me.
I would say go to the art store and see what is there, as we don't have a specific brand in mind! -Prof Lieu
They’re actually pretty gentle animals, I feel bad for eating them now...When you’re using your wash, do you clean your brush in between the dipping?.
Have you ever tried this inking technique but using liquid watercolour? Specifically Dr PH Martin's HYDRUS range. I have tried the value range myself using your dropper method and the watercolour. It works really well and is more forgiving than ink.
Very cool, we will check it out!
Is this something that you published? Because I absolutely love it
Alex made this illustration specifically for this video, so it's not published anywhere. You might like his gouache tutorial: czcams.com/video/0I7DnrfskI0/video.html -Prof Lieu
This might sound like a stupid question, but I've noticed on CZcams that most people who do black-outlined ink drawings seem to draw in pencil, colour in and put the black line last on top. But you seem to be doing it the other way round. Is there a reason for this? Is there a right and a wrong way? (I've always drawn my black lines first...)
I think as long as you're working with water non-soluble ink, you can apply these in any order you wish! :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
what is ur pencil at 3:40?
Pentel graph gear 1000
Awesome! What do you think of my illustration videos? 😁
Hey, you look like Nicolas Hoult !
Hahaha, I see it! 😂 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Book recommendation: colonial botany
Oooooh I am interested! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
The docking of tails for sheep is actually kind of a modern thing. Back in the early colonial America period she would all have long shaggy tails.
That's really interesting! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Why everybody is using the so poor Staedtler erasers, when there are erasers, that do much better job without damaging the paper at all? For Graphite, nothing beats Tombow Mono Plastic and for colored pencils, like oil/wax pencils chalk pencils etc, the Faber Castell 187120 is the best out there, Both are very soft,which means they don't ruin the tooth/surface of the paper and both, erase easier/faster and more, than any other out there, Staedler lacks both of these, it's harder and doesn't erase as good.
