Thank you! Didn't know the mask method - I usually just lower the opacity of the reference image (with a white background) and leave the drawing layer in black/white and then set it to multiply.

I’ve been following your free courses and honestly one day I might buy a few when I feel I need them, but the free ones have already been so helpful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for sharing I’m going to try this glad you’re using procreate to do this I appreciate it 😊

i love the procreate tips as someone who is trying to teach themselves how to use it, thanks!

thank you so much!

Brilliant! Thank you!

Very helpful. Thank you!

I was doing this already😅 and it helped me a lot. Kudos to you proko for uploading this and helping fellow community, that too for free you are amazing.

This is a really cool hack. I’ve never really heard of this. I’ll definitely try it out when I start new drawings. Thank you for sharing. 😁👍🏼

Strange way of doing it. I'd create a white layer and set it between your two layers and adjust its alpha. This would have the effect of bleaching your photo and the dark sketch lines would stand out clearly above the bleached out photo. But a great idea for checking sketch proportions 👍

Thanku ♥️ How to learn quick realistic skin shading 😢.for live drawing . Bubble request

Hey I was wondering how I will go about learning realism drawing (not hyper realism; a style similar to yours to produce drawings like learning forms to understand drawings to then be able to create them). Should I take a portrait course first or a figure course first and then what would you suggest after that? I know starting from the ground up (like your drawings basics course) would be great but I don’t know what courses or classes I would pursue after to make myself better.

If you're an absolute beginner, Drawing Basics is the right way to go. It will teach you what you need to know before taking on portraiture or gesture.

Just hold your paper against the bright screen with the reference image. The transparency of the paper will let the reference shine through

Idk i feel like this can be done so much quicker with opacity and sketch with transparent background png file that this feels like too much work

Question: why does my shading look scratchy, is it because my pencil too sharp? How do I fill in the shadow shape smoothly with a sharp pencil?

@ProkoTV

10 ай бұрын

That's a good question! Having a finer tip can definitely contribute to that issue. You're trying to fill a big area with the tiniest little point. Try with a more dull pencil tip, the SIDE of the graphite and with a softer pencil if those other two don't help. I have a video on sharpening pencils that shows that in action: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIuJu9d9nLu7n7w.html

Not getting why you just didn't set opacity down to around 30% on the 2nd layer. Everything else seems unnecessary if you are just overlaying to check your proportions.

@ProkoTV

11 ай бұрын

This method is for big visibility. Some drawings people make have really thin or lines and other characteristics that make this type of process a little more necessary. If people are good with just lowering opacity, using multiply or any other types of checks, they should do them!

@@ProkoTV Can also just reverse what's on what layer. Put your drawing on the first layer and the reference on the second. Lines stay dark and can see all you need to see from the lighter reference for comparison. Agree. Do it however you want.

HOW DO I DRAW CLOTHES AAAAAA

Sorry if this is a silly question, but why bother to do this with a physical drawing? I mean, I guess know why, but why not use that iPad with Procreate to draw in the first place and then check the proportion much easier? Using paper just seems to add a bunch of unnecessary steps. To this exercise at least.

I know AI is a huge issue in the art community now, but imagine if we got an AI art critique that corrects technical issues by just inserting your drawings into it and cross referencing it with the image you try to study or perhaps art style instead of AI doing the art. Just like proko said you can’t always have an instructor, and it would also lessen the burden on a lot of professionals and teachers, and it wouldn’t be enough to replace them because critiquing is only one aspect of teaching.

I think everyone can agree that AI is fine when used as a tool but when corporations want to use AI as full replacements for everything from cooks to art then we have a problem. These corporations are ignorant & can’t see beyond $$. They take away these jobs then who’s gonna purchase they’re products? AI? Lol 🤦‍♂️

Whole life is a process of learning. Why should you choose one way or the other? ...

Holy cow! It takes sssooooo long to do all this and it’s prpblematic. Solution:: Do actual size. Draw your image. Trace it on tracing paper. Put traced image over photo and check. Rather instant. ***I i use finger spread. Point of thumb tip to pinky tip as a regular size for flesh face (excluding hair) yes, get into a dependable grove. Images will change regardless.

@3polygons

11 ай бұрын

Imo you'd train better without any kind of tracing. As the important factor is to train your capability to understand the proportions and relations, carry those distances correctly as a brain exercise, and be able to draw anything without those helpers. Otherwise you'd improve slower, and not in the essential matters... It's my opinion, though (I don't need any tracing now).

It's good to practice relative proportions too. Always drawing the same size as your reference limits you to be comfortable with just that.
