The problem I see here with Jake Parker's book is his take on the techniques is quite similar to Alphonso Dunn's. I've featured even more watercolour instructional books and even when books have similar structure, chapters and techniques, ultimately what differentiates the books come down to the explanation of the concepts, more specifically the artist's personal take on the techniques. I've featured numerous books on Pen and Ink and while some may feature similar techniques, they are no where similar to Alphonso Dunn's book. So the differentiating factor will come down to the artist's unique style and interpretation. Value scales in boxes have been around for decades, centuries. Some in the comments section of Alphonso's video said that pen and ink techniques and concepts have been around since the Renaissance. Right at the end of Alphonso's video you can see all the notes and drafts he has made for the books. It's not an exact copy obviously but there are similarities in layout and examples. It was only after I watched Alphonso Dunn's comparison video that I could see the similarities. I've watched the flip through video from Jake Parker and it looks good. Jake Parker's new book will be out in September 2020, and he has posted some preview pages and video in an Instagram post. I was alerted by a follower on Instagram that Alphonso Dunn has put out a video (below) alleging that Jake Parker's new book Inktober All Year Long has plagiarised his Pen and Ink Drawing book published in 2015.
