About Proko:
Instructional How to Draw videos for artists. My drawing lessons are approachable enough for beginners and detailed enough for advanced artists. My philosophy is to teach timeless concepts in an entertaining way. I believe that when you are having fun, you learn better. I take pride in producing high quality videos that you will enjoy watching and re-watching.

[@MrAnperm]

He explains these ideas as if he remembers exactly what it’s like to be new to drawing

[@daniellerussomanno188]

MrAnperm such a good teacher!

[@everettwhite9874]

MrAnperm I’m glad he does remember and is willing to share his knowledge with us. I love drawing but it’s only a hobby; occasionally I’ll watch a video such as this one and realize that sometimes the most useful tip or information isn’t about proportions, and shading but, staying motivated, being inspired and developing passion for art . Yeah man, I glad he remembers. 👍🏽

[@gureguru4694]

a true master

[@sassytabasco]

That's a man you want to listen to for sure

[@robertcook2680]

Holy Smokes! I was in a drawing class taught by Gustav Rehberger at the Art Students' League in NYC back in the early 80s and I remember Tim Gula being a student in that class off and on. I never knew him, but he brought in some comics pages he drew that he showed to a couple of the other students. I watched over their shoulders and his drawings were amazing! I remember him as young, longish hair, looking like a surfer or something. Boy, time speeds by so fast !

[@michaeldeluca9231]

Great video great technique Tim is an amazing artist he's so chill

[@zacharyhorvath3615]

Art students league, boy I miss NYC.

[@johnpaulbruh7909]

Hey do you still draw how's the progress

[@zacharyhorvath3615]

This guy has a lot of wisdom, I think a lot of people assume artists have some type of innate power to create realistic imagery from their mind with no effort, which completely overlooks the ammount of time and work that goes in to learning how to draw and observe, and its the observational aspect that is the most important IMO. An artist doesn't learn to draw, they learn to see.

[@jaredmatarodriguez8716]

Stages of artist development: 1. Draw what you see 2. Draw what you know 3. See what you know 4. Draw what you have seen 5. Draw as if you had seen it

[@mikapika9839]

Some of the truest words I've ever heard

[@allluckyseven]

I just want hours and hours of Gula talking and drawing. And talking not just about drawings, but about his life experiences, his acquaintances, things he learned from them, all that. (esp. because both toth and frazetta are two of my favoritest-est-est artists)

[@sea-goatbr7588]

Yeah. He inspires me in many ways

[@Mcorporated971]

this guy makes me so calm :) good vibes!

[@adrianinha19]

Yeah it felt like a Bob Ross kinda calming, encouraging talk!

[@jbkhan1135]

He seems like a genuinely kind and helpful dude. Really awesome of him to share his knowledge! Thanks again for all of these videos, they are a huge help to us beginners at drawing.

[@sunriseboy4837]

It's entirely fascinating, at least to me, that gesture drawing is such a powerful tool, and a foundation to good drawing. Kimon Nicolaides book emphasizes that, with fully excellent results for the reader. "The shape, the weight, the rhythm." Brilliant. Thank you.

[@FreezerSpaces]

It is really nice to have an industry veteran demonstrate how he works, be realistic about the time and effort it takes, but still manage to be encouraging.

[@megg.6651]

I love how you bring in other artists. I can see why YOU are so good. You surround yourself with great people

[@skwaab]

I truly feel compelled to thank you, Proko. Your channel re-ignited my love for art and never fails to leave me inspired. Watching and listening to Tim work and his insight on fashion design- if you'd have asked me this time last year, I'd have never imagined fashion design could leave me with my mouth agape, Rene Gruau's art was utterly breathtaking. This probably hasn't come out half as legible as it feels to me and in some ways it's more of a therapeutic open thank you letter to art in general and how much I feel its helped me develop as a person.

[@whereaboutsunknown3822]

I can listen to this guy talk all day

[@CliffG]

Tim Gula has done more than anyone else to improve my drawing than anyone else. He used to come over to my house when I lived in Los Angeles and say get your stuff, we're going to the zoo today to draw animals, or call me and say he was substitute teaching at an art school and go to room whatever and we'll be doing life drawing all afternoon in Pasadena. In this video, Tim never mentions working with the two greatest comic artists -- Jack Kirby and Moebius. He also worked with Neal Adams (Neal told me himself, not Tim). He also worked on Batman The Animated Series and designed backgrounds for the Asgard in the Thor movie. Not only one of the last great anatomy and life drawing teachers, he's also one of the funniest people I've ever met.

[@thudar9]

Same here although I never met him. I've show his automatic drawing video to my students. Brilliant guy.

[@kavereon]

Thank you Proko and Tim for sharing such wealth of wisdom. God bless you both!

[@derekmoore1387]

It is good to hear the purpose behind this type of drawing. In art school, gesture wasn't clear to me. I tried to cram a lot of information rather than get a flow. This and Proko's use of CSI lines helped simplify and streamline my gestures. In other words it took a while to learn that I shouldn't focus on defining volume or structure, and moreso describe the action.

[@richardsong8]

Thank you Proko for all your wonderful, enlightening interviews! As an accomplished artist in your own right, you get to the core spirit that moves the artist and the art. Tim Gula, my heartfelt thanks to you for providing not only an exceedingly practical approach that can be universally applied as technique, I believe, but also showing the way to relaxing and allowing the universe within to emerge through the individual. Thank you my brothers in art!

[@cindyloyd8673]

Thanks Proko! It’s so wonderful to see these great videos. I took a figure quick sketch class from Tim Gula for a couple of years in Thousand Oaks. He’s prodigiously talented, dedicated, inspiring, and really funny. He’s also pretty stunning at head drawing. I’d love to see more from Tim. I also took Glen Orbik’s head drawing class there. What a privilege to learn from these great teachers. I miss that school so much. I will watch this over and over.

[@wordsforgeeks3225]

I love Tim's work. Thank you for this.

[@7Lee7]

This wasn't "JUST" great information, but also made me feel better somehow. Thanks for this, will rewatch!

[@whatyousee3225]

So much grace here, it’s like seeing music. I try to create movement and rhythm in my still life photography. How I’d love to sketch this way - so inspiring! Thank you!

That was a truly exceptional video and presenter. Thank you!

[@pjlewisful]

I loved this one!!!! Going to watch it again right now! Those Dior illustrations are what I've aspired to draw like forever! My fav. Proko episode yet! Thank you!

[@jimdarin4194]

Great work Stan. Tim is exceptional, he pokes in now and then to a gesture group I go to in Camarillo and he always draws a crowd at each break. He also takes the whole session as a composition, his final sheet flows from one sketch to the next with an occasional portrait in the middle.

[@andreisoit6789]

Thank you Stan. This is gold. God bless you!

[@caileanparis9998]

Proko i think this was one of your best vids, with lots of help from Tim Gula (awesome fucking dude btw), i almost started tearing up at the end. Music went so well with Mr. Gula's attitude and message. Thank you so much for trying to instruct, encourage and inspire artist of all ages from all parts of the world. Blessings to you and your family and happy holidays.
