Getting ready for foot surgery and will have to be off my foot for 6 weeks. So.... I have been watching you tutorials on pen and ink and love them. The way you describe the shadowing and light sources is very easy to understand. I have started sketching flowers and although my basic beginners drawings are ok the contouring, shadowing and light sources have been difficult. I just purchased your two books and I plan to watch your tutorials and follow your books while recovering from surgery. I am so glad I finally found what I have been looking for... thank you!

First couple of minutes and I am taught something handy. Copying other youtube videos they don't have the talent for explaining simply how they arrive at the finished product. Thank you.

Oh what an excellent tutorial! I’m 74 and just seriously trying art for the first time. But I could not see! You gave me sight because you explained so well what is happening in shadows! I can’t wait to try it!

damn i was drawing flowers today and was really struggling with the shading, you must’ve heard my cry for help 👌🏻

Huge thank you man. I try to learn how to draw for years now and have seen so many videos, even worked through a few books but I never managed to understabd what I am doing. I appreciate it so much how you always break down everything into simple forms and basic value and cross contour principles and then carve out the resulting form from it. A practice I have not come across in this fine step-by-step detail in any other videos or book. Sure they refer to it but they never really show the process they just imply it. For someone like me who is not inheritly talented this is more than helpful. I just bought your books and am having a blast. The first time I have the feeling I am really learning on how to draw things ON MY OWN - understanding the process. Your videos are also perfect examples. Thank you so much again! - I consider you as my drawing master now lol. 😜

I'm just getting started with ink and colored pencils...love doing flowers, and really appreciate your tutorials! Next, I think I'll do another ink flower and use watercolor. Watching you has been such an inspiration...Thank you!

LOVE how you go through the demo using shapes but then tie it up with a demo on the object of the lesson. Solidifies it for me. Thank you!

Thank you soooo very much Alfonso, for sharing your talent with me. I’m a retired math teacher that has had a yearning to draw and paint for many, many years! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I almost have enough confidence to begin drawing and watercoloring. I bought your book last week...it’s awesome. Thanks again for sharing your talent with us! Sue N.

Thank you so much . Looking forward to a book on flowers, leaves and nature

Thank you for this tutorial. It was so helpful. Since flowers and foliage are my number one subjects to draw and paint, I really needed this. Your teaching style is spot on. I had a 30 year career in teaching and I can spot a good teacher. Perfect.

[nekoeyes]

Thank you so much for all your videos. I consider you my art teacher, since you have the ability to communicate so well all this information.
