What I got from this very useful video: 1. Themes 2. Shapes 3. Contour 4. Form 5. Compression Hammer.

[@villisnejko2271]

Proko, I cannot explain how much this helps me and the other artists stuck in quarantine. Thank you so much

[@DarkestKnight2424]

What software do you use?

[@villisnejko2271]

@@DarkestKnight2424 you talking to proko or to me? Either way, I use clip studio A LOT. It has a ton of features and is one the best drawing apps there. It allows you to draw and stuff without paying but many things are limited. Its cheap though, like 10 bucks a month.

[@ottokayvandix7862]

Artists are always stuck in their own world jaja...with ir without quarantine. 👍🏼

[@adityabanerjee6314]

I love your art fundamentals tutorials and vlogs, Proko, but I really hope you'll delve more into the art entertainment industry like with this video!

One of the best proko vids I've seen. Amazing art and great to hear him voice live thoughts to his character design. Saved this as a must rewatch!

[@NateHeroic]

I've struggled with getting ideas started and this method was so fantastically helpful. I went from crappy sketches to flowing ideas. Thanks for this!

[@billwilliams8728]

This is such a great video, often it can seem like concept art is just creating eye catching designs, but being able to round out those ideas and tell a story adds so much additional value.

[@raymondnguyen3530]

Seeing him just use values to shape out the characters was really enlightening. Thanks a bunch this has been great for someone who is just starting out.

[@tonyocampo2432]

Proko, I found your videos two weeks ago while I was looking for videos to help me learn draw. I’m beginning in this Journey, I have doodled around before but never took it seriously, so I wanted to change now. And these two weeks of seeing your first videos of you explaining anatomy and figure drawing, I did my first drawing on my own and I cannot express how better I got just by following your examples. Thank you tons. You truly are the best Virtual hugs Keep it up!

[@Xitaychin]

BIG thanks!!! These two days I watch you I've known more than the previous year.

[@VskutkuTrigen]

Evolve is was and always will be special game for me... Ever since I played it I felt like I wanna create stuff... I loved every design in that game.. It was just different and now I wanna learn this. :D

[@vitorcampos3427]

Im seeing this more than one time, this process make me a lot of inspiration and i want to merge this knowledge to my pieces, THANK YOU!!

[@HiNi.]

Scott is amazing, I look at his work often for inspiration and improvement.

[@Guez_art]

Scott! Hell yeah buddy! Making the illustration department proud!

[@NinoMesarina]

That Peter Han’s Illustration and the Ahmed Aldoori’s drawing are awesome, love those artists. He has the dream studio set up😍!

Thank you Proko for the opportunity of learning something useful, that calms, and made me be lost for hours learning your teachings. You are a great teacher. Love your conversations with Marshall.😉

[@gazellemarsh2583]

Yaaaaay. Im so happy for this new video and Collaboration. Thanks Proko.

[@laurelindon]

The team of three is a cool idea for pixel fighters. Maybe three girls, the RGB sisters, representing each color of light. :)

[@Cearts]

Flipping heck, the right vid at he right time for me. Proko your content is beyond legit. A solid go to to learn a lot of stuff.

Yoooooo, i didn’t know there’s a league action figure!!! That’s so realistic!!! Awsome we!!

[@hanzflackshnack1158]

Infinite Painter has fill tools instead of making a selection then filling. Reducing any two step process into one is always worth it

[@sol303]

Proko you are doing a very good job

[@akhilkathula]

The rug really tied the room together.

[@aaRept]

That was a FANTASTIC video! Thank you!

[@dotsncrafts]

Great, I love your style of working, Thank you

[@TrMangaka]

I started making a list like you before in character drawing today, it came across when I watched the video

[@ItsKiasOk]

This is so cool my guy I definitely learnt this and it’s so cool to have this

[@AMO17]

This’ll help with my own work flow. Never occurs for me to write my ideas down. I just go. Could help me land a few clients later down the road.

[@carlettov]

This is the combo we need!

[@odindo777]

Dear Proko, Thanks for all your contributions. You have so many videos, it’s awesome. I want to draw well soooo bad, but I am a beginner and don’t know where to start. Please tell me where to begin. Thanks again! Keep up the good work.

im decided, i will become concept artist

[@Laeshen]

Good luck Doing expect any money under any case

[@alfiemarshall9224]

Redclaw wtf? don’t tell him that it’s discouraging also if he’s good then he will make money lol?

[@villisnejko2271]

Look whatever anyone says dosent really matter. The end of the stick is be a great artist and people pay you. If you arent good then people wont pay you. Simple as that, I wish you best of luck on your endeavors

[@askwang]

i guess i have to work harder... still nothings gonna change, i will be like them soon

[@lotusluminance5872]

Exactly what I'm starting studying to do! I'm looking into mastering photobashing right now, it really helps with getting a workflow in environment design. Btw does anyone know if you can be a concept artist in general or if you have to specialize into chara design, environment design, creature design or object/vehicle design?

[@laillosidgar]

This is very inspiring! Thanks!

[@Moonzik]

Great video. When Scott mentioned working with great modelers that could fit the gaps, I was in ! I don't mean I'm looking to make porfolios or plan to work this way, but I'm trying to get into character design (or maybe illustration) and the more I learn about how the sheets must be clinical and orthographic, I always wondered ; modelers are artists...I'm sure some could work wiith any drawing...right...? (I think I could do it tbh). This just confirms that great artists exists and I'm willing to work with them :)

[@jaycreate7701]

Yeah!!! Out with a new one Stan

[@boboshangd]

Thank's Mr. Proko... it is cool.. Good content..👍

[@DanPeal1]

It todays world by "job requirements" on Artstation in this 23min you should deliver also 3d ready assets, maybe some substance textures, and that's hammer should be ready to animate :DD of course don't forget 3 skins variation for each character 😂

[@braisfragapedreira6279]

Pretty good

[@lukasdewulf]

Loved the video! Could I find those blocky brushes he uses somewhere?

[@tenorsurfer87]

Pretty sure they're one of the Kyle Webster brushes that come with Photoshop. Might be the ones you have to download additionally though since all his brushes don't come pre-loaded in the program, only a select few.

[@johnhunter743]

does anyone know if and when the proko beginner drawing course is coming? I saw a video from 2 years ago, he mentioned he is working on it

[@NateRock119]

Love it,!!!

[@TheStracky]

Nice video! What program are you using?

[@ProkoTV]

Photoshop!

[@creativeartworks7779]

make a art compition please sir

[@roproart6529]

Does this guy know he's being unconsciously influenced by Vampire Hunter-D? :P Even the floating ball and large hammer weapons! Cool design though.

[@DamiansjBlogspotMxDamianArcane]

I'm in the line between 3D modeling or concept art / illustrator, don't know in which invest my time the more. Both kinds of art are super appealing to me, I guess I've to try both, and then I'll see what to choose, does someone has a good advice?

[@tenorsurfer87]

It's always good to go into what you're passionate about, but if you like both equally, it's my understanding that getting a job concepting is much harder than modeling since there are so many more modeling jobs than concepting jobs. If your goal is to make a living with it, might be good to focus on modeling first till you can make money and then branch out to whatever else interests you? Granted, I'm just a guy on the internet and not a career advice guru but that'd be my plan.

[@BlkWmnAnimator]

Look into a 3D concept artist. Some concept artists use ZBrush.
