I like to separate the lights and shadows first and then put in the darkest darks. It is a good idea to put those darkest darks before you start working on the halftones, so that you can judge the subtle values better. Filling in an initial value layer is personal i think.

Your drawings really help me understand how body parts work. I use to not pay attention to body parts such as legs and arms. I was always wondering what I was doing wrong. I would either make the arms too long or legs too short or face proportions too long or close together and it didn't look right. so I remembered my old art teacher from highschool recommending you and I looked up your channel and watched a video and drew off of it and the outcome was amazing. Thank you. Your art is amazing and so are you.

I like that this tutorial is a bit more challenging than most how to draw vids because Lately some drawings seem too easy. Thx btw love the tutorial

[@mijunesorokina9841]

This made my skull insecure

[@JasmineZellmer]

Thankyou so much for replying! It's great to get an explanation of why certain artists do things the way they do, it really helps to understand what it is to look out for while shading.

[@DarkRaptorification]

You just make this look so easy to go about it! It made me try it thinking it was simple, but it took me a few tries to get it correct for the most part. Again, great video.

[@maxp5237]

This first song gave me some serious nostalgia

[@djkoz78]

Man I wish I could draw.

[@DerEineDa96]

you just gotta keep on doing it, eventually you'll get better :) practice is key as with almost everything.

[@zeeshaanzalgaonkir1461]

all u need to do is practice, the more drawings u do the better u become, its best to draw drawings wut u believe is easy 4 u and eventually u will become good, Practice Makes Perfect!

[@johnadrian3211]

me 2 i hope i can draw

[@candisbrendel7396]

Any one can draw, it just takes a drawing a day!! I have seen allot of people that said just what you said, start out drawing one small picture a day. After 2 two months they got so much better they impressed there self wIth how much better they had gotten. JUST TRY!!

[@Osjey]

lol you posted this 6 months ago. You probably can draw a skull by now if youd practiced :)

[@effiexvii]

I love your tutorials! I'm currently majoring in graphic design and I literally always tell everyone in my university to watch your videos! Great great help!

[@thatonedude9269]

How's life been since?

[@localkdramasimp]

u probably graduated and have a really good job by now hows life

[@valeriehale4602]

I love this drawing. It's amazing

[@larrysvision7084]

Kudos for an excellent, excellent presentation! The side by side allows me to see exactly how you as an artist captures form, then refines it to the finished product. I will study this many times until I "catch on" how to paint what I see, not what I think i see. Would love to see a similar presentation of your doing a portrait, or even a landscape. Thank you so much for this innovative tutorial!

[@lululululu22]

Awesome Proko! As always! Thank you!

[@VoidloniXaarii]

superb as always. I like how you picked out elements of the reference selectively. Special shout out to ... Jilmar Altamirano, if you're the one who always does the incredible motion animations for the skeleton... maaan, you're fantastic! So much expressivity and emotion. Amazing work!

[@KMR323EastLA]

What kind of charcoal pencil is that? What is the brand? and the type of pencil? I'm not satisfied with the charcoal pencils that I use for my art class. Would you recommend any good brands?

[@ssddpost]

It is a Conté à Paris Pierre Noire 1710. Comes in various grades. Proko uses a 2B I think. It is a buttery soft pencil more like a very very soft color pencil and not so dusty like a charcoal pencil.

The music sounds like it would've worked well for an MMO's halloween event dungeon. Pretty cool to see I'm not the only one drawing on halloween, although my subject matter was scary in a different way ;)

[@JasmineZellmer]

It interests me the way you lay in shadows. When I was in Drawing II, I was told constantly to always lay in my "blackest blacks" and "whitest whites" before any other shading, is this something that you agree with? You seem to work with midrange shadows fairly early. Also I was told to always start with an initial charcoal layer on the page, are these mostly things for a full illustration only, or is it more a matter of individual preference?

[@maxkirichenko5572]

awesome!

[@nicolasthibaut9248]

Excellent

[@kieranwoolley9303]

I'm gonna try and draw this for my art homework
