This video put a massive smile on my face. I’ve been learning from your books as I’m a manga artist (or gradually working on being able to really call myself that) and it’s been invaluable. I have a scene with my main character soon where I need her to be isolated by a tree and I wanted to see how you do it not just read it and I was blown away. I just love your books, and I love your spirit, be playful, have fun, don’t stress just feel blessed that we have paper and ink and whatever other supplies we love to hand.

Now that the new year celebrations are over I have made my resolutions and the first one on my list is art related. I have decided to improve on my drawing skills including your wonderful pen and ink series. I have gone out and bought a selection of sketchbooks (usually I do my sketches on scrappy bits of computer paper lying around the house) and I have invested in some new ink pens and other equipment. I'm planning to have a separate sketchbook for each subject you teach. I hope I have the willpower to follow my new resolution into 2018 as I am sure this plan is going to improve my artistic skills in leaps and bounds. Do you have your new book available on Kindle yet? Thank you for being so generous with your amazing knowledge and for explaining everything so meticulously and unselfishly with your calm clear voice. You are truly an amazing inspiration to all artists on this planet! Happy New Year to you.

@CaptainWumbo 6 лет назад

This was one of your first videos I watched when I started learning to draw 9 months ago. It was interesting then, but the unity and variety went right over my head, and I didn't quite grasp the jellyfish form you were explaining. Now I've been returning to trying to draw plant life recently, with a little success but things just out of my reach. Watching this video again, and doing a drawing while I watch it, it's really clicked in my mind and helped me. I understand and can apply what you're saying. Thank you again for all your awesome videos.

Thank you so much Mr. Dunn. I just started drawing a few weeks ago. I am 55 and I have no knowledge of drawing but already looked at some youtube videos to learn a few things. Today was the first time I saw one of your videos because it popped up after I had seen another one from another channel, on how to draw trees. I am following your tutorial and my trees are looking a little bit more real instead of just a flat shaped tree, like I used to do in elementary school. Thank you so much. I also appreciate the way you teach. You explain things very well. I am so excited to do more trees with your tutorial. Thank you.

@jpmlna 5 лет назад

Wow! You've got a great way of explaining shadows with regards to trees. Nobody else ever explains it properly (or at all) in other tutorials - it's something I've been struggling with. Now I can finally make progress in my drawing and painting of trees.Thank-you!

@aliciaaustria9259 7 лет назад

Hello Alphonso, It's Alicia the draftsman. I finally found what I'm really interested in, "trees". I like the description you give for the branches, "The line of balance". My favorite trees are winter trees. I can draft with tools but I can't draw free hand. I noticed watching different videos that the majority of the artists are left handed, as most artists are, but you are not, so I suppose that I have a chance as I also am right handed. Continue with the wonderful work ,I will continue to watch. Thank you.
