What really helps me is using basic printer paper, not a sketchbook. I’m always worried when using a sketchbook that I’ll ruin something and be embarrassed later. With throw away paper it’s not an issue, I can fill them with as much terrible art as I want 😂

Same. I've even started pencil and watercolor shadow studies on 32-pound printer paper. I'd never be able to experiment as much with watercolor paper. You can't get the mileage if you hardly have the road.

I recently bought a $30 moleskin sketchbook and I struggle so much with drawing in it. Then someone gave me a cheap 11 x 14 drawing pad and I’ve been a lot more loose and free. I think my drawings in the cheap pad look better than in the expensive sketchbook.

As a biologist learning to draw gesture, i think penguins are tough material. They are like people in winterclothing, where you have to guess, what's happening underneath. Looking up a penguin-skeleton helps so much in "knowing, what you see". And you did a good job with that s-curve :D

This was awesome, I sometimes draw way too tensed up, this helped a lot (: Congrats on 3mil!!

Thank you! We're planning a little *thing* to celebrate that later. I appreciate all you guys enjoying the videos these past 10 years!

Keeping the energy of the S-curve is a powerful idea. One I would normally try to avoid in fear of making a tangent. But now, I can see it as an opportunity, a signal, to fix the tangent by overlapping a shape above it (if possible) instead of just rerouting the tangent line.

Proko - You chose an EXCELLENT topic for this video, which gets very little attention elsewhere. I think you could make this into a once-a-month series for a whole year and it would not get worn out.

I would love to see some gestures of portraits.. super curious how that’s be done when you don’t get a whole picture yet you still crave rhythm and movement ❤

I'm curious about that too! Since I have trouble clearly depicting emotion in my subjects (especially facial expressions), maybe it could be a way to work from broader, more physically spread out emotions down to more subtle, more facially-based emotions?

This is amazing! It's not just a pro teaching, it's a pro studying

The steps given are very simple, so it's easy for beginners to follow to start working

Congratulations on 3 million subscribers 🎉

Woah! Im watching your first video after a looong break and first artist is from poland!

when i begin a drawing or have something in mind before i draw my charcoal pencil is barely touching the paper before go into it with marks. Im not even using a picture reference i just have something in mind. I see people I am around every day who they are. There sometimes is a piece of artwork I like from an old painting or something. And sometimes ill take that but i stick my original thought then i go in and draw. Im not even after a style i want the feeling.

hi this really helps!

Hello Mr. Prokopenko. I'm having one little single challenge while drawing, can you help me? I get that we should draw with our elbow/shoulder instead of the wrist. However, I own a wacom ctl 4100, which is pretty small and doesn't give me enough room to longer movements. Should I buy a bigger tablet or is there a way to solve this? Thanks, teacher.

@ProkoTV

Жыл бұрын

Drawing with that size of tablet, you're working at the scale that's allowed. You can try to zoom out of a drawing in the program to make sure you're not just getting stuck making super small details. But drawing from the wrist is totally okay here, as long as it's not uncomfortable for you.

It's not a fin, nor is it an arm. It's a pengwing of a pengling.

Hi all..I need feedback on my art videos posted in my channel so that I can improve. Any feedback is appreciated.

I’ve just accepted the fact that I can’t draw

I believe that you can. Sometimes, it's discouraging to not get the exact results you want from your first attempt. But we all have to walk before we run. And we fall a few times while learning to walk, even. Just keep at it and you'll find your art voice and skills were there all along.

2nd!!! dammit

I wouldn't really trust this video. Seems real sketchy...

Mr Proko that was great , but I think you were way to harsh on that lady's drawing wow! I kinda had to really stop myself from crying on how harshly you were with her drawing , and what happened to you Mr Proko and this weird penguin fetish that you have next time try to keep your private life private and your work life separate, WOW!

@@brap97 my guy, Proko knows damn well what he's doing. Did you just... miss the entire part about the S-curve and the line of action? This is like when I tell people that drawing circles on a page is good art practice, because it is good art practice. But people dismiss that as "too easy" even though it's fundamental. For you to take a master of anatomy and say that he has "no idea what he's doing," seems a bit ignorant.

@@Xenderman Biggest of guys, Proko is very good at observational drawing and anatomy information, but he has no idea how to draw from imagination or how to draw pretty cartoons. Its a completely different skill technically but also mentally. Stan thinks he can just come in here, draw a penguin (a very gestureless and stiff animal, mind you) and convince someone he is competent at this type of work. If he ever sincerely wants to improve, God bless him Ill cheer him on.

teaching someone how to do cartoon and exaggeration is fine but bros can't just say "loose sketches not accurate sketches" and then make the thumbnail say "fixing my own sketch" as if implying that realism bad💀

you have an anatomical error in the position of the frontal wing of the penguin - it turns out that the wing grows from the chest, and not from the shoulder blade... This wing should be moved much more to the right.

@@theanonymousghoul I’m still going to have to disagree with you. Art, and in this case cartoonish art, doesn’t have to follow that at all. Thinking of classic animation from the 1950s-60s, where a nose can be about as large as a person’s whole head or a body nonexistent, does the the importance of anatomy really matter if it gets the point across? I’m not saying Stan was exaggerating his sketch to that degree, and I don’t even particularly like his drawing, but I just find it strange to focus on his anatomy error when, again, the point of the exercise is to get less experienced artists to loosen the way they sketch

@@15Vampirefox I mean that's being intentionally goofy (And a super tiny body or big nose doesn't affect the general character movement as much as if they had their arms too forwards so it probably still follows some kind of rules more than you think). The wings look like they were something unintentionally broken, especially considering the sketch not as exaggerated to that degree as you said. As to that not being the point of the video, of course it's not. But if someone wants to point out something messed up then they can point it out
