I’m new here. Great tutorial. I am looking to start drawing again and I think charcoal medium will be ideal . Is there a material list that you recommend or have a video on?

[@Dale_Blackburn]

Proko can you give some advice about SCRATCHY graphite after using sandpaper to complete the sharpening phase? I use a razor knife and then i use a40 sandpaper to give some shape to the graphite. But it ends up crooked and not smooth. Maybe im using too hard sandpaper? Is that the problem?

When people feel bad about their art, that means they're ready to take the next step. Trust me, you're inspiring.

[@ProkoTV]

when I say rhythm I just mean the movement between things. It is usually a very simple line. C S or I. anything more complex then CSI is an outline. Rhythms are used to capture the gesture or action of something, but also can be used to find the placement and size relationships.

[@PachucoDesigns]

Wow. Your insistence on the two value step really helps out with me. I've never started rendering that way, and I've never been told to start that way. But I should have seen it since concept art is always broken down into the two values before you see any detail in the final piece. I'm definitely going to be paying attention to this in future renderings. Brilliant.

i like how instead of just drawing u use anatomy too

[@downnolachick5735]

Barry McDonagh I'm going to try yours. You have no idea how many times I've tried this way , I know I can draw a simple nose.....but I want a more realistic way,,, and I am getting very impatient ..ha ha,, I usually pick up quicker than this .... its too fast.or something I thought yeah anatomy , but when the video gets to putting the picture into the planes and they ad a line here and there real quick I get lost.,,,, I generally use proko for a lot of the features, my face still looks funny this way Looks like that gold robot off of star wars,! I've yet to put a face on that. ,

I just started watching your videos, and I'm trying to watch your classes in order so I can maximize my extremely beginner knowledge. I got the nose down on your step by step pretty quickly, otherwise I can't imagine what could have taught me!! I appreciate your education style so much

[@ProkoTV]

ya, like hiroyudrigo said, I covered it in the previous video. If I show that there is a "prerequisite" in the beginning of the video, that means there's some important stuff to understand from the other videos before you watch this one.

[@starlight1799]

I've watched this video 6 times and still can't get it right! Ughhhh, frustration!

the nose is my nemesis right now because i'm learning the structure of the face so thanks

[@Mark.mp3]

This is the best tutorial ever, i just tried my first nose and it doesnt look like his but it still looks impressive

[@Heikki_Finland]

There's nothing harder in portrait drawing than a good nose. We need every bit of help available and you gave me something to think about. You have interesting way to build that image from that structure thing. I also like how those shapes are not too rounded but have some corners you know, giving a feeling that this nose belongs to somebody rather than being just any schoolbook nose.

[@sidhunp]

okay, so basically you draw a 100 noses until yours resemble proko's, somewhat! Got it.

[@kowsalyanagarajan2420]

Super. Idea

[@lenaregier2002]

I actually had professor that said (paraphrase) "you have to make a thousand mistakes before you finish." or something like that. It was in my still life class and he would just scribble. I made the mistake of blinking and suddenly there was a complete and accurate figure drawing (among the scribbles). It was amazing.

hey! I love the tutorials, my favourite is the head from any angle and you said you would cover the features in these videos. I do feel like the step by steps here is not as simple as the one with the head, I would love to see videos about how to make the features from any angle on the heads :) these are so fancy shmancy and feels hard to apply to any head, just some simple techniques and proportions like! :)

Hey, Stan, I was wondering if you could help me. I'm struggling to understand where to start drawing all the minor planes on the nose when I've started with the box shape. For example, I've drawn the top, bottom and side planes that make that boxy shape, but now I struggle to see where the tip of the lateral cartilage must end and where the ball of the nose must start. Hoping to hear from you. I think your videos are awesome and they have given me the courage to actually start drawing humans :) They're not so scary once you break them down hehe

This is interesting because if I'm drawing a face I always start with the nose, and when I'm satisfied that the nose is the correct shape I then find the points of the other features. It's really satisfying when you finish a portrait and people are blown away by it.

Is this is supposed to make drawing noses easier. . . Cause I've been drawing noses just fine through observation and this video made it seem so complicated T-T lol.

[@bushrak8014]

animefreak884 totally agree with u he made it much harder

[@esophagoose]

It's not meant to make drawing noses easier.. it's made to make it more understandable(the features of the noses, the planes, how they're shaded, how they look at different angles). You don't need to watch it if you'd rather stick to what you're used to, but if you really want mastery of the facial features you'll want to get this down.

[@MrChannelforwatching]

Jimmy Finestein Exactly. Plus, understanding it should make it much easier to draw in the long run. If you understand the basic structure of the nose, you'll have no problem drawing different variations of noses, drawing it from different angles and even shading and understanding light source.

[@nr48890]

I think it makes it more anatomically correct. You may make good noses but to the trained eye they may appear skewed

[@quinntilla_chip]

This helped me so much, I am genuinely proud of my art thanks to you!

[@blisterrbub1714]

Sheesh...that was technical......

[@auravanessa]

That is what I was saying..

[@klausd.6285]

You have to know anatomy in order to actually draw. Real artists start from realism and they also study a lot of anatomies. This helps them make sure that their work actually makes sense and anatomy is part of the BASIC BUILDING blocks you need to know when learning how to draw, something MOST anime drawers don't do, which is why their characters don't look right, arms are too long, symmetry is lost, the skeletal structure bent in unnatural ways, and etc. Every professional artist will say this, you START from realism, mastering it FIRST, then find your own style, be it the anime look, cartoon look, comic book look, and etc. But it has to start from realism and knowing your anatomy.

[@Hero4fun77]

+Klaus D. Thanks for the tip i'll try it.

[@moppenboek]

If you're doing art, dont feel bad if you are not the best drawer in the world! The world has seen this, art has changed. I do think these movies have very helpful tips which can help u by for example here a portrait. it does not always need all the realism shown here but some things as shadows and the way he explains why and how can really help the illusion of a 2D drawing. There is much more into it. Like he said: it's to inspire :)
