This tutorial provides simple pen and ink drawing tips and techniques on how to create the illusion of depth in your drawings. This is especially useful for landscape drawings, or composition in which multiple objects are placed to depict or convey real space like in linear perspective or atmospheric perspective or aerial perspective

Thanks Alphonso. I'm 62 and just learning how to express shapes and images with a pencil. You are helping me tremendously and I appreciate all you do on YouTube.

I love how relaxing your videos are.

No stress, just very simple. Thanks for this.

Very well explained. Wish any drawing teacher had put it this clearly. Like you say its all stuff you kinda know but when you always put it in practice your works reflect it and it frees you up to imagine greater..

Dear Alphonso, your tutorials are the most useful and informative I have found on youtube simply because you rightly assume that your audience is likely not to have the most basic knowledge on how to draw ... it's Sunday morning and I am sick in bed watching your tutorials and sketching following your instructions and I can see an improvement already. Thank you so much for giving your time to share the joy.

Providing the clear explanation, coupled with the simple diagram,
and finally the demonstration that put it all into action
(all within about ten minutes)
really helps.

Thanks! :-)

Almost 7 years later and this video still helps so much, thank you for this :)

I wanted to say thanks for your clear demonstration. I drew the initial image, and now I am adding to it. I have an other cliff on the right side of the image, with a valley below full of rectangular rocks that have fallen off these cliffs. Thanks again.

I love that you said "recreate reality in simple ways". It makes art so much more accessible and less intimidating to enjoy fully when you don't have a ton of experience. Thanks for this!

You are the best instructor I've seen! I've watched a bunch of people and you explain things in way I can understand thoroughly. Amazing skills.

[jackiefawn]

I love love love your tutorials!!!! They've def helped me gain more confidence as a artist and helped me hone on techniques! Thank you so much!

[zakmarfarted]

I loved this because I learned that you don't always have to go for the most detailed drawings, because I saw you take scribbles and put some more of those tips into it and you mad the artwork look so good!

[mariaapolonio]

This is amazing! I'm a rookie at sketching and this comprehensible tutorial really helped me :) Thank you!

Loving the workbook and really enjoyed this tutorial as it has helped me a lot. Thank you for making these and everything you share.

I want to hug this video; it’s so helpful! Thank you. (It was so enjoyable to watch you conjure these rocks out of nothing. I could watch hours of it. Relaxing and instructive.)

[joanboyce]

The book Pen and Ink Drawing is very well done. Lessons are very clear. I would definitely recommend purchasing it.

[obieldenook]

Most of these I already knew but the contrast is one that I am weak in. Seeing how you did your contrast made it more appealing for me to try. Thanks a lot! I love how you showed them all together too. Eager to see what else you have. :)

[momofgrkids]

This was so helpful. Thank you for clear instruction. I can’t wait to put these practices into place all together
