I know this is going to sound weird, especially since this is over 7 years old-- but I've been struggling with flat-feeling images for so long. I knew I lacked something but couldn't figure out what. I created shadows, edges etc. But even then-- it still felt flat. Then I realized I needed depth, but didn't know how. And your video helped me. It's so simple and to the point. I literally teared up in joy as it was liberating to know. Thank you so much!

I know this comment is 2 years old but glad you finally found a method to enhance your skills

As a high school art teacher (adv draw adv pntg and others 2d), I can't say enough about these videos! So clear and succinct! They are perfect, telling us all that's important and nothing that isn't. You do things that I can't demonstrate in ten minutes but shouldn't take up the whole period doing. Thank you so much for being a valid and ACCURATE/objective resource for us teachers to use to better our instruction. I could show you from one year to the next, a portraiture project, taught exactly the same, except for the addition of your facial feature videos. The improvements are subtle but important. It also helps when the kids hear you saying the same stuff I'm always saying.. Proves I actually do have an education and I'm not just making it up. A biggie as of late was your how to hold a pencil video. I'm always talking about it, trying to get them to stop "writing" to draw. When they saw your video they were like "oh. Ok". Prior they acted like I was just trying to make them miserable. Thanks so much!!

You're welcome! Glad you're enjoying the lessons.

THIS is one of the best videos I have EVER watched on how to improve my art skills, thank you!! You broke it down so clearly!

Self-taught artist struggle with portraits as the topic of values needs extensive coverage. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with the wider public Proko!

Darn you for being so adorable! Trying to pick up drawing again and I'm sitting here w a stupid smile watching the bloopers.

This is an amazing channel with proper advice ...

Your laughter in the takeouts is beautiful. :)

Great video Proko. I'm really enjoying your way of teaching.. very light and fun to watch.

One of the very best videos by Prokopenko.

Thanks a lot Proko, I've never had the chance of receiving formal education on art and this comes at a great time. You are an excellent artist and instructor!!

Stan looks so young in these old videos, it's hard to believe he's been doing these for almost 10 years now.

Proko, you are probably the best drawing/art teacher currently here in youtube. You are highly skilled, the videos you make are quite interesting and fun to watch. Thanks again for updating us :)

Very well explained. Simple yet covers the most used ways to apply depth. And, very entertaining too!

I love your tutorials it's DYNAMIC and not STATIC :D

I just wanna say that you are the best .Keep inspiring people by your knowledgeful and unique vedios and always remember that you are the only one in this world which has this type of extremely remarkable descriptive skil with so much of talent.. Your fans love you very much.....

Your voice is so clear and easy to follow. Gets through the ADD somehow!

Fantastic, you are brilliant at explaining, so very much appreciated.....and love the touches of humour

This was an excellent tutorial, thanks for putting this together.

That's really helpful. I had a teaching who would point out that there wasn't much depth in my drawings but wouldn't really say anything about how to fix that.

I really appreciate that you show us rather than just tell us, thanks!

let me just say, i highly appreciate your channel, it is excellent, education and entertaining. although i have not left my anime phase, i still find these tutorials highly helpful

I'm so happy to find you and your channel, your way of teaching is really really good thank you very much

The portrait dvd's are incredible and include more indispensable info than just the KZread videos. They are a "must have." -John Willis

Awesome! Thank you SO MUCH for doing these!

You're amazing! Thanks for another talented video

as a stubborn autodidact who learned drawing trough trial and error without ever watching any tutorials or reading a book i gotta say....ive learned so many things the wrong way and picked up so many bad habits over the years. wish i could go back in time 15 years and go to school for this...
