I wasted a LOTTA time and money in my early years not knowing what the good resources were, so I'm really glad there's something easily-findable like this now

This tutorial will likely be the reason I get back into drawing!

Hi friend, I see you like drawing, I am also a painter, If you interested in, please take a look at my channel too💕

@@brap97 nay man, that was my shitty friends fault who insulted my drawings. Creativity is about expression so for someone like a close friend to insult one’s art shouldn’t break them down but inspire a greater work of sadness cause of friendship lost. Anyways no.

[@brap97]

@@Rafas216 NO man, its just sincere advice. People get stuck in courses and never learn to let loose.

[@MJWolverine21]

What a great time to exist on the internet for learning artists! I already feel bad for people who'd discover this course afterwards when it's over , and if they really needed this!

[@TheFunnyDictator]

Are you excited for Deadpool and Wolverine?

[@fenrisulv]

I love that there are two levels for the assignments, I've been learning and taking a bunch of classes the past 1.5 years so a good refreshing with some challenging assignments is perfect as I don't know where I am skillwise, can't wait to start this! Thank you for making this, i know what I got myself for Christmas :3

[@sebastiangeorger5791]

I have always been an outgoing person and in school, I have always seen then quiet kids draw and didn't think it was for me. Now I'm graduated and no longer have access to the low brass instruments that i used for my expression. I am also a new furry and wish to represent myself in earnest without spending all my money on commissions. I have shaky hands and no grasp of the fundamentals, but I'm looking forward to learning this skill

[@ProkoTV]

Thank you for wanting to learn from us! We try to offer as many languages as we can as a small team. The auto translated Portuguese subtitles are probably going to be as close as we can get for you, though that's far from perfect. Sorry we don't have something that's better than that. We hope that we'll be able to offer a better option for you in the future.

[@PhantomDeluxe1111]

Hello sir I have a doubt so I have seen videos saying that our drawing should first start by simplifying the picture we are drawing into simple shapes take it as rectangle circle and 3d like cube sphere and so on and this then helps to make our proportions better but I have seen a person who says that we have to just start somewhat like scribbling with the outline and just wantedly scribbles the lines which he can see like in case of fingers he just starts scribbling it and says that doing this will help in exploring new ideas and help see which line shape fits the best instead of the tapered stroke and sir but you have alway said us to ur the tapered stroke while drawing like in your loose sketches and i haven't seen you start your drawing with simple shapes but seen you use the lines instead so then What according to you is the best approach: 1. Simplifying pictures to shapes 2.just trying to scribble the outline and exploring new ideas and doing this to help see which line shape fits the best 3.Using tapered strokes and lines importantly lines and then shaping them properly into the desired figure? Sir THANK YOU IN ADVANCE this is gonna help me so much! AND I CAN'T EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR ANSWERING MY PRECIOUS DOUBTS sir please please answer this one😢

What is the drawing board you use?

[@ProkoTV]

I don't really use a drawing board at this point. My main drawing surface is a drafting desk I bought off of Craigslist ages ago. (But not the tiny one you see later in this video. That's for kids)

[@El_Marky]

I'm in.

[@pejhan]

[@Anjalena]

If you're almost completely aphantic (aphantasia aka unable to visualize), is it still possible to come up with your own characters? I am okay at drawing from a reference but everytime I try to come up with my own designs, they look like they were done by a third grader.

[@HiHi-oc3gh]

Glen Keane, one of the greatest animators has aphantasia. He’s created characters such as Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Beast (Beauty and the Beast), and Tarzan (Tarzan)

[@SenjiaMurtic]

P, I think one of my real issues when drawing was patience and not taking my sweet time on certain areas just to rush and pass to another drawing teach me patience and the missing space??

[@Miriri222]

Is procreate worth the price??

[@ProkoTV]

Absolutely. $20 one time purchase for an app that can do pretty much all you need for art making besides some graphic design features is a bargain. It's a great piece of software with SO many more features than most people realize.
