Sketching in the Wild with Aaron Blaise

Aaron Blaise took me on a drawing adventure to sketch animals in the Florida marshes. After walking in circles we were able to spot the ever-elusive alligators hiding in the water. I had a blast learning about the wildlife and hanging out with his crew.
While I was in Florida, I also got a chance to record Aaron’s masterpiece demo of a lion. We recorded the whole two-day process of drawing a large animal portrait, plus a lesson on big cat anatomy. You can find that at proko.com/blaise.

I know this was more of a promotion for Aaron's demo but I would enjoy alot more vlog drawing type of videos like this! Also I'm enjoying the portrait course!
I want see Proko, Marshall and Aaron all together in one video
Nice to see Aaron here! And good timing too, just bought one of his courses. He strikes me as a real good dude
OMG! I had no idea you went to a wildlife refuge! Most amazing place to sketch animals from life. And what better person to go there with than Aaron Blaise (the master of animal art)
how to recognize aaron blaise: a happy man with a pinapple shirt and using flip flops all the time what a lovely human being :3
Watch out for Florida Man!
6:44 Aaron seems a panda chewing bamboo :D
From ALL the great videos on this channel, when you two hangout and draw, it’s gold!
This is such a bliss you are like father and son
Really cool to see you draw out of your comfort zone Proko. PS. Loving Aaron's shirt
These Proko/Blaise episodes are the best
Yess I love watching how you both draw in the wild and also the zoo! Would love more videos with the two of you like this :)
Watching good artists draw is very inspiring.
thank you for showing those life drawings truly inspiring
excellent wild life art drawing session . love the way Aaron draws grass , so fluid . Stan beautiful tree .
I Loved this one! Please do more like these. It feels so raw and natural.
Love you guys. Been following Aaron’s work for a while now as well
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! THANK YOUUUU
Proko you do awesome work!
Wow. I'm early. And also thank you Proko, for the videos! I'm learning soo much from the figure drawing course :D
WAIT hol the phone, can we address that he used a brush pen WHILE STANDING UP HOLDING HIS SKETCHBOOK? I can't control the damn pressure on one while sitting with a desk under my book and he just did that in like a minute xD

I love these kinds of videos!
I love videos with both of you!!
This was so awesome, we need nore videos like this where Stan just draws outdoors, or anywhere tbh 😭
Aaron blaise is like the beast master of Art!
Loved this... thanks
reminds me of Sargent's watercolour of Alligators...similar pose but more of them. That watercolour is stellar...
Thank you for sharing these videos man, it's very inspiring!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
2 best anatomy artists on youtube ^^ you guys rule!
great artist. love his videos. big Like! cheers
I could watch this on repeat! :D Yall were like an old married couple in that Florida forest..."Can we stop here?" "How bout now?" Wanna draw here?" "Whats wrong with this spot?" "Well yeah we can draw here" "Nah its fine"
So much fun to watch 😄
Awesome living in the same city as this amazing artist.
Wild if possible.
Love this guy!

Florida is beautiful, i live in utah so i cant really go in the wild and sketch exotic animals but we do have beautiful winter type landscapes a lot😀
Florida summer: Locals - shorts, light shirt; Tourists - jeans. Did you at least remember sunscreen? :-)
This made my day yasss!
that looks like a nice walk loop, I woudnt complain!
Great sir
This needs more views
Amazing video :) would like to see more live drawing outside of a studio. I just started this wednesday myself so would love more examples to learn from
WOW you got to draw with Aaron Blaise!!
Aaron should sell sketchbooks of his drawings 👌🏾
proko's palm tree sketch was dope
Hello proko. You are a funny character. I watch your videos..
I was literally waiting for a video by Proko. From last couple of weeks.
great sketches!
Awesome
Aaron and Proko. Instalike!
That heron is chill, all the ones I've seen would fly away if I got within a 100 meters.
Aaron is one with nature
Today i learned some lessons from you
You guys crack me up!!😂😂😂
Damn drawing in the wild is so relaxing
3:42 ... Say it with me... "Florida man...."
So much fun going out on an adventure to make art! 💗✨🖐
This must have been a while ago since Aarom still had his hair uncut.
When you go drawing with a go pro can i ask what clamp you use to clamp it to your drawing board love your work by the way
when will be prokochallange for may?
It's like mufasa and simba hanging out while aron Blais being mufasa sharing life lessons with simba(proko)
I like it 😍
We ate that grass too when we were young. In Myanmar, the school infrastructure wasn't very good so many tall grasses around. 😋
Welcome to my stomping grounds! Florida is great for wildlife, lush landscapes, waterscapes, and bugs! Big bugs. 🤣
I would have liked more instructions here and teaching and what materials you guys are using.
Wow
Aaron has the best shirts. Also TIL... Proko does not like walking in circles
Master Artist: "I'm wondering if I could fix mine..." [9:49] Pal, also Master Artist: "No, dude, that looks good!" Both silently: (mine needs fixing) me: XD XD XD...and that's why they're great at art, peeps!
Mr Blaise seems like a granpa telling stories to proko heheheh
What books do you recommend for the art enthusiast?
Great video, I think I'd find it to frustrating to try and sketch in the wild, lots of ref photos and sketch at home
Awesome video! Can I ask what the name of the white ink is? Is it from Faber Castell?
When will the results for the may proko challenge be out?
I ain't gonna lie, proko been hitting the gym and it shows.
What pens/markers are you using for the whites/highlights?
hi proko im from india my name is abhi iam big fan of your art thanks for giving the knowledge of art
Can somebody tell me the supplies they used to sketch please?
I'm genuinely missing Aaron's hair.😭😭😭
La mejor manera de aprender a dibujar.
What was that white marker? Never seen one
Hello Proko, what type of paper/sketchbook do you use here? Thanks
You and Aaron should do more stuff together :D
