    I really love how you go over basics before getting into the meat of your lessons. This is an aspect alot of art youtubers tend to skim over.

      I bought your book and am reading it. I have been trying to learn how to draw for several years but just couldn't get it mastered, but just watching your video one time and did not watch it all the way throug, I saw some improvment so I bought the book and I am following all your suggestion. I want to draw a picture of my granddaughter and I want her to be proud of it when she see it. I am 75 years old but always wanted to draw just didn't have the time to try and learn so again thank you, you are the best.

    I have finally found my art style thanks to you! I have learned so much from your videos. Your videos make it so simple but it's so informative at the same time. My 2017 sketch book looks so much better than my 2016 in just one month! I actually love my sketches for once. By far the best drawing videos on CZcams, if not anywhere! I can't thank you enough! (:

  • @cesarfigueroa-hernandez5218

    For the love of god, PLEASE make more tutorials!!
    These are some of the most interesting rock formations I've ever seen, and you did it from very basic shapes. You make it very inspiring and motivating for viewers to attempt themselves.
    Excellent work sir. I hope you keep pushing these out!

  • @Zectari
    @Zectari Před 4 lety +1

    Best tutorials on youtube for drawing, simply because you go over the basics first, and explain your process from the very start. Thank you so much :D

  • @Blitz1Blacktail1
    @Blitz1Blacktail1 Před 10 lety +6

    I like how you motivate people by explaining it in the simplest matter. I also like how your explanations can turn people like me to draw from my imagination, which is EXTRA helpful for me, as I'm a fantasy writer that kinda wants to get some visual things on paper/screen. I did some character sketching (pretty much all of them are from my storylines, really), but, even though I'm better at it compared to before, I didn't really had much of an idea what I was doing. I could never get my characters/areas the same way as how I sketched them, at least not in a different pose/perspective. But now, after watching some of these and picking on the general tips you have to offer, I got the idea to do some concept art and, indeed, draw from shapes, studying my past sketches on shapes, and I found it's a lot more consistent now.
    So yeah, keep on being awesome :D. You not only caused me to draw better, but you also motivated me to, well, draw, knowing that I'm turning into the right direction :D

    • @alphonsodunn

    Awesome talent, Alphonso, and I mean both your teaching and artistic skills. Every since I found you on You Tube, I have made it my business every day, when I can, to watch a couple of your videos. It's great because I can watch them over and over, when I want to focus on a particular aspect of drawing. You are a blessing to all of us ...the wannabe artists of this world. Thank you most sincerely and so proud that you are a fellow Jamaican. Cool runnings, man.

  • @miselzivanovic2181
    @miselzivanovic2181 Před 10 lety +18

    I am new to all this drawing "world", but want to slowly learn it (with 41 ;-)). Well, it's (almost) never to late to start something, i guess. Surfing around since weeks because of that and was watching tons of "tutorials" and making big eyes seeing all those "speed drawings" and was wondering how it is possible, but didn't actually learned a lot from it. Few hours ago i found your tutorial(s) and can say that after watching some of them, that your tutorials are the best "christmas present" i could imagine. I don't have to search any further. Thanks a lot for your time and the amazing knowledge you are sharing here. Really much appreciated. Nice greetings from Switzerland and a happy new year soon. All the best wishes to you and your family.

    • @alphonsodunn

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post all of these very helpful tutorials! Your method of explaining shadowing, depth, and detail was much easier to understand than years of looking at books that seemed to go way over my head. Thanks to you I can now draw rocks and trees! :)

    Everyone is saying that you are a good teacher, with is soo true. But i wold like to add that you are a good artist. Beautifull drawings and style. I meet the chanel just now, 1 hour ago and I´ve already watched 5 videos. The best art tutorial videos so far. - Brasilian, watching from Mexico :) Thank you!

  • @aaronmarcus7693
    @aaronmarcus7693 Před 10 lety

    I finally get it! Thank you so much for bringing this simple approach to mountain drawing. For half the video I kept saying: "Yeah yeah, I know how light works.". And then suddenly when you drew the two example mountains, it was so simple. Instead of looking at a mountain formation as a group of cracks and complex light formations, it's all the same animal as shading a simple triangle. Thank you so much!

  • @shader26
    @shader26 Před 4 lety

    As always with your videos, fantastic! You have helped me draw better more than I would have believed. Watching you take us through it, even getting to understand the ideas, it is still like watching a magic show when I see the transition from the start, and when it really takes “form”. But you make it easy to understand but also you make it look easy. It’s not as easy as you make it look, but have decided from now on when I doodle, I’m going to work on mountains, etc. instead of the damned cubes and triangles I’ve been doing for years, but keeping them in mind. Thanks!

    • @shader26
      @shader26 Před 4 lety

      This is an old thread, but for fun I’m updating. Alphonso, still excellent, and impressive teaching, but I have to say my first attempt after watching it (and it’s “me not you” ) was...um...”interesting”. Looks a little more like a mountain of discarded refrigerators and junk because I was trying to fill too much in, and was still thinking of how you showed how to get there. It’s still miles better than I would have done if I tried without watching this. And really, that I couldn’t get near your level with my first try is pretty much expected. I see what my mistakes are kind of, and am going to rewatch this video again now and follow along with pencil and paper. It is not a surprise, it would have been arrogant of me to think I could do similar to what you did in the first try. I had no such delusions. First going to see if I can save my first try. Thanks again!

    I am currently writing a book that involves some "fantasy map making." Suffice it to say I have zero artistic talent in this area (not that I have much writing skill either, lol). Your use of geometric shapes to explaing light and shadows was a tremedous boost to my caveman like drawings. Thank you for sharing your talents and helping me to "see."
