Man you truly are the best at simplifying concepts. You make everything really easy to understand.

From the way he breaks it down you can tell hes a master at this

I think fear is my weakness in drawing.
I need to remember to have fun while drawing and realize that my drawing might not come out the way I envisioned it, but that's okay.

Watching your videos, along with practicing and sketching everyday inspires me to keep on going!

Thanks for your simple explanations!

Hands down, Alfonso is the best art teacher ever. He explained the concept in a simple and understandable way. This helped me so much, thank you

Where tf were you 10yrs ago when I was trying to learn?! I gave up but recently got back into art and BOOM you arrive. I am SO fucking happy that you're breaking this down to such a simple understanding. SO many videos back 10yrs ago were just so awful. It wasn't tutorials, just people immediately drawing extremely detailed and difficult work with very awful advice that is hard to understand. They just kept saying "keep in relation to this and that and this recedes back to there but then you maintain the measurement cause of this."

Made it fuckin impossible to understand and now.. I think I can begin practicing properly but breaking out of old habits at 28 is going to be a challenge!

Thank you for doing this.
I basically learning drawing exclusively from your videos in the quarantine. :p

I watched your videos years and years ago to begin my drawing journey and I've come a long way but coming back to this video again has been proven again to be one of the most useful videos I've seen 🤗

finally something my brain can understand

I'm constantly inspired when I watch one of your videos. I just got home from work and was going to turn on the TV after watching a couple videos, but now I have to grab my sketchpad and draw something. Thanks!

When he starts making multiple vanishing points
Me: "NANI?! IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!"

He explains things much clearer and better than half my college professors do.

@EnanoForro 9 years ago

Easy way to understand how perspective works, how to traslade something in perspective, and still look everything cool. You're awesome.

This is the best video on perspective I have seen so far, after looking at so many of them. Playful, fun, simple. Thank you so much for another excellent video. You really stand out on Youtube.
