Great video! As not being a native English speaker, even through this one has lots of vocabularies that I've never learned, I can still understand the idea perfectly. Well Done! Love all your videos and a big big thank you!

Why doesn't this have millions of views? The explanation is really good and clear, and actually useful!

[@samwilbur6155]

So stoked I stumbled upon your Channel Proko! I've been devouring all the Gesture and motion episodes just like how you devoured that doughnut! It's always been a real fuzzy area for me that I never quite understood, but your teaching methods are so clear, concise and entertaining that over the course of 2 days I'm already understanding and seeing great improvements in my own drawings! I know this series is now quite a few years old, but are you still doing the student crits on any of these stages?

[@InfiniTyEighteeN]

I just want to thank you for creating this videos :) I wish you are my anatomy teacher. I am about to finish my anatomy class for this semester but unfortunately, things that I learn are from self study (books and your videos!) Thanks again man.... -Fan from the Philippines

Hey Stan, i fully decided to improve my drawing skills, and i want to dedicate 4 hours of my day to practice! But my doubt is: Can i do more than one exercise per day? Like do the gesture drawings and then move to the Bean in the same day? i'm kind of lost in that aspect, can you help me with that please?

Thank you proko! May i have one suggestion? Could you write ,in what order to watch these figure drawing videos? I think this landmark videos should be one of the first videos to watch..i got confused when i started to watch gesture before this..just a thought

[@dukiedu]

[@cestarianinhabitant5898]

These videos are really great, but the figure drawing series price is a bit steep for me. To show some support for all the help I've got from these videos I decided to purchase a pose package, I may buy another one (to have both genders) later on too. I would have liked to buy the premium figure drawing series as well, but 80$ seems pretty steep to me even if the lessons are clearly very valuable; one thing that also keeps me slightly skeptical about buying your courses is that while you're a traditional artist, I'm mainly a digital artist, which means I can't really make much use of some of your techniques (including shading with a pencil, or measuring with the pencil for examples)

[@ProkoTV]

Thank you for your support and input. Be careful though that kind of mindset will hold you back from your full potential. Digital, charcoal pencils, and oil paint are just tools. The important thing is learning the concepts, which is the same no matter what tools you use. You can learn how to use a new tool within a few months. The important stuff is what takes decades of experience.

[@cestarianinhabitant5898]

Proko Thanks for the reply and insight. I already knew most of what you said though, my point was that you may be teaching a few tool-specific techniques (like pencil shading) I can't use since I work digitally, but the main thing that's holding me back is the budget. I tend to get particularly cheapskate when things cost more than 40$, it's a mentality that has evolved from hanging around on Steam too much, but it also has to do with "is a collection of videos really worth this much money?" But for example on tool specific techniques; the measurement video in this series was mostly based around measuring with a pencil which is mostly useless to me as a digital artist. (Then again when working digitally measurement tools are easy to come by) I have a suggestion for the price problem though, you could pull a cheap (but effective) stunt that's commonly used by game publishers and offer the content divided into pieces if one can't afford the whole package (known as DLC in the game world) this way perhaps I may be having problems with the gesture in particular, so I could buy just a gesture package rather than the whole figure drawing package, or in other words "no" package. Then of course (still) offer the full course in one slightly cheaper package than if one were to buy it in pieces. A viable alternative to lowering the actual price. I did not mean I'm skeptical about trying to learn from your videos; far from it! I've learned a ton from them already, and I'm working on a playlist with some of the best beginner level art tutorials around which is littered with your stuff and I personally consider them the most valuable things in my list right next to Rich Graysonn's "How to Draw Better" 1-4 videos. The most valuable info in my opinion is about how to think in planes from the shading video. It's amazing how much easier it is to draw certain things when you understand planes. P.S: Thanks a ton for all these awesome free tutorials, these are outrageously valuable to beginner artists and a great contribution to the art community, I look forward to seeing more and I truly cannot thank you enough :)

[@cestarianinhabitant5898]

Molly Lacoursière You're right, i've never taken a course. Also I don't get your snarky comments at the end, i never claimed to be anything, the list is incomplete but it is a great starting point for someone who doesn't know how to draw. I'm not claiming to be a great or famous artist, hell I only just started a short while ago (this year!), but I'm learning fast and posting the best tutorials I find in that playlist so others can too. If I thought I was so great, I'd be making the tutorials, but I leave that to artists better than myself, like Proko. I don't make the tutorials, I put them together in a list as I find them, and look wide (on youtube that is) I do. There is no best way, but there are certain ways that are more efficient than others, all of which depend on your priorities. My list is prioritizing characters as the most important thing, but it would be useless to an artist that wants to draw atmospheres and environments (as is). You can't argue that Rich Graysonn's draw better videos are an exceptionally good place to start learning to draw, drawing the basic shapes over and over! If you can, I'd like you to point me out a better place to start and I'll gladly check. My logic here that this playlist is one of the best (by best I mean fastest and most efficient) ways to learn drawing is that it in fact is for me and I just started myself, I am following this list myself.

[@Lifes1BeautifulRide]

Cestarian Inhabitant There was nothing wrong about anything that you said. You never said that the videos weren't worth what Proko was charging. You just said they were too pricey for YOU and that you wanted to show support as much as you could. I don't know whats the problem with this Molly character.

Outstanding. You are great!!

[@re1]

I paused at 5:00 for research purposes and I noticed that on the female body the sacrum has four points instead three. The fourth point is higher and in the same line as the central lower point of the sacrum. This is due to the form of the female lumbar vertebrae and when the erector spinal starts on females, if you watch careful the model you can see it very clearly. Jokes besides I think this is important to know. Thank you very much for you videos. top content and very well communicated.

[@CathMint]

I have a question that I've been curious about for a long time: why do older human proportion guides (like from the 50's and earlier) place the belly button so high on the torso? Some of them have it so high it almost seems to line up with the bottom of the ribcage. It looks very inaccurate to me, and yet I see it on multiple guides from that era, and even on modern guides that most likely used these older guides as reference. I don't think I've seen many people, if any, with belly buttons that high. What's the deal with that? Was that just the physical ideal at that time?

Stan, are you going to teach anatomy? muscles and all of that are difficult to learn from books since they are flat drawings trying to explain something that is three dimensional.

[@wetyewruyrtsutrdhjfg]

The front of the illac crest, the part where the femur connects to the pelvis, the ischium and the interactions between them and the buttocks is a really big headache (for me when portraying action or non standard poses ). Proko doesn't seem to have that problem. Of course, he's been drawing a lot more and has a lot more knowledge than me.
