[@amicableenmity9820]

I'm glad to see even a seasoned professional like you making mistakes but bearing through it. Don't get me wrong, it sucks when stuff like that happens but we can relate a lot better.

[@dogardoogin6201]

You're never going to stop making mistakes even when you become a professional though, it's completely normal to not get anything right the first time or even the 5th time. A professional is just more used to failing so they keep going rather than giving up like a beginner would. It's best to get the idea out of your head that at some point you're going to stop making mistakes. Nothing "sucks" about making mistakes.

[@__-fi6xg]

Dude. .. as long as you generate money with drawing. ...there are no mistakes.

[@__-fi6xg]

Professional doesnt mean he/she/it doesnt make mistakes. Professional only means experienced in getting payd... Im sure many do their job professionally not out of choice but out of fear. Gotta feed yourself and stuff.

[@twintin_346]

@@__-fi6xg Um, there are professional artists that do art as a hobby you know. Mistakes is what make art fun.

[@juneru2]

17:01 i recently noticed that the number 1 thing i see most artists get wrong are the eyes. from beginners to pros, it's a problem that transcends so many different styles, too. it's difficult to get the eyes aligned, spaced and sized properly from various angles, but they're the most important feature of the face to get right.

[@huzzah5192]

This is easily my favourite art channel and I’ve only watched a few videos. I find it so easy to pick up concepts and techniques even if the video isn’t explicitly trying to teach about it.

[@serbarriston7177]

17:30 to 18:08 that is why you always take a fresh look at your work. Making little adjustments like that are honestly one of my favorite moments in the journey of each piece. I like taking pictures of the work throughout the process. You can see the big difference the adjustments you make have on your work. I catch a lot of mistakes just walking around my house taking breaks from my drawing and looking at the smaller image on my phone.

[@karinkay3256]

I'm glad you addressed the elephant in the room. You do look EXACTLY like Moriarty.

[@idkwayta1722]

Marshall is just too precious

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

I think it looks fantastic!!! A perfect blend of realism and caricature!

[@OnkelBermuda]

I love these casual low edit videos with you just drawing and commenting. Listened to this while drawing my cartoons

[@theamericanaromantic]

18:15 Stan: "oh my god!!" Every lefty: "first time?"

[@reatisuto9919]

XD

[@Gluckgalerie]

It turned out so beautifully, the style is immediately felt!

[@miller13ico]

It's amazing other's render portraits with no likeness, and seemingly good proportions, and you capture likeness so well, I'm back to the woodshed...

[@ArtistDavidU7ub3]

Very Nice presentation, complete and with great information. Keep up the great work Proko!!!!!!!!

[@brandonmckean6326]

Such excellent line control and line direction to describe form.

[@Shome2049]

Your podcasts are really helpul for people who can't afford to seek professional advice regarding art, like me. Thanks❤️

[@cerealfede]

never drew a face somewhat similar to correct in my life, after this 20 min video, i've achieved what i'm 100% certain is the best face i drew im my life so far. thank you very much Stan!!!

[@markdavies5066]

Sense humour and teaching and art skills spot on

[@KenLives333]

Interestingly enough, after watching so many vids of yours, I feel like this one is (educationally) one of my favorite. Thank you Proko. Keep it up!

[@ProkoTV]

I didn't have anything specific I planned to teach going into this drawing. I just recorded the process. Ya that's interesting you learned more from it. I wonder why.

[@KenLives333]

@@ProkoTV I am probably at a point where I, myself, can better understand the language (of both drawing motion and its purpose), but also, the flow of you though combined with the smooth editing makes for a great video.

[@Padmakar2310]

Marshal vandruff's chalkboard perspective lessons are my favourite

[@JMV422]

great tutorial there gives we great benefit for us artist who have not attended art schools

You are a master man, I have learned a lot from your videos, thank you for work hard for the future artist

[@laylamcclendon9910]

The sketch is very appealing and just altogether great, I'm currently trying to become a better artist, and these videos have both inspired me and helped me with improving my skills in drawing so that I can become a professional artist one day in the future, it'll be a long journey but I'm getting there. Thank you Stan and keep up the great work! :)

[@artofzeesan1020]

An Good Instructor and Freindly Artist He is

[@eccentric_bilbo]

Damn, can't wait for podcast. Great job!

[@fijaystudio]

He has great masculine strong features! Think ancient ages gladiator (the guy who survived long enough to get his freedom).

[@fijaystudio]

I'm in Oz, but my guess would be that we have simply discovered the difference between the formal training offered by American Academy of Art in Chicago and that wihich Proko undertook with Watts Atelier of the Arts in Encinitas, California.

[@firman2661]

this is like case study for Dave Malan's drawing style. anyway, you're the best, thank you!

[@pjlewisful]

I love any video concerning you & Marshall in any drawing demo. This was cool to watch.

[@3m_ink]

Hi proko! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and it has helped me so much as an artist. I practice way more now days, I’m much more motivated, my KZbin channel and Instagram has been growing...etc. thank you so much for your amazing content!!

I like Marshall's face features. You should do a portrait photoshoot of him.

I recognized it as Marshall right away and clicked on the video. Nice work! Looking forward to the podcast.

[@janbertguerrero6988]

The eyes are a bit off, maybe i can try selecting it and move it a bit... ohh wait

[@francogomezgarcia8376]

I really love the way you drew his beard.

[@bradcook1537]

Really cool stuff. I'm struggling right now with trying to push features gently. I don't want to go for caricature, or hyper realism. So a video like this helps me figure out what I'm kinda aiming for.

[@artprof]

I agree, so hard to find that sweet spot in between the extremes.

[@MrElliotholman]

Great drawing and self promotion for a podcast I will definitely listen to. Good job and good luck with the new show.

[@PhoenixofStarlight]

This went live as our Animal Drawing class was in critique (I'm making this comment while we're on break) - it's really trippy to watch a caricature of Marshall be drawn while he's standing a few feet away. Needless to say, this looks fantastic, and just like him! :P Can't wait for the podcast to come out!

[@ingeborggranli9547]

I agree that Marshall have more defined features that make him slightly easier to draw and recognize as a caricature, but he's not entirely unique. He literally looks exactly like my dad, just slightly older😂 oh and I was also the lucky winner of the big nose gene, so... thanks😝

[@DailyNews72]

amazing drawing turorial

[@GabiN64]

Wow i learned so much from this. Thanks for the vid

[@VaultGirl684]

I love the artstyle ❤️

[@TandZAptLife]

That was amazing. Tell him I love his face! Lolol. I'm glad you showed your hand when you had the graphite all over it. Do you ever cover your drawings so that you can put your hand down and not smear all over the place?

[@pottergeist]

nice to see you drawing stuff like that

[@EpsilonLeonus]

Turned out amazing, man! If it helps any I use one of those two-finger gloves for tablets when I'm drawing with graphite to combat smudging with my hands. Doesn't stop it completely, but it's saved me a ton on cleanup later

[@Colaris99]

I'm tired of my drawing style and would love to change it but it's hard. I guess changing my medium and the way you hold it might help.

[@ishheredia9626]

Protect Marshall at all costs

[@1MantisPhoenix]

Excellent work.

Excelente técnica...como siempre hay mucho q aprender en sus videos 😊

[@stevesloan5935]

Nice! I liked that you didn't have any qualms about erasing the "finished" eye.

[@BrandochGarage]

Great video. Well done, too. But poor Marshall... Pic looks so good.

[@sentry9834]

I really would have liked to hear your thoughts on the direction of his gaze. In the photo he's looking straight ahead into the distance. In the drawing he's looking back in the direction of the viewer.

[@letmebedatguy2637]

16:24 "Marshall why do you hate your face so much!!".... cuz thats the kind of question you say on open podcast XDXD

[@commenter4799]

Don't forget the Blackwing Pearl. It's harder than the 602.

[@madison362007]

Hello Stan! I am not sure if you meant to make the ear so much lower for the caricature, but it is noticeably lower than the reference (19:10). It may be a byproduct of your raising the eye. Best Regards, Madison

[@CashWiley]

At the risk of being pedantic and with all love to the mighty Stanislav....what do you call the hatching under the brow ridge, under the chin, etc...I'd call it shading... :D Looking forward to the podcast!

[@ProkoTV]

I'd call it hatching. My intent was to not use tonal gradations which are typical of 'shading'.

[@blobofblutack]

it IS shading.

[@rezarahadian552]

You draw the eyes in the lastest step??? Interesting !!!

Proko, thank you so much for sharing this. It was great fun. This is exactly the style I want to be able to accomplish. Do you have a course/lesson on this style or hatch work?

[@theamericanaromantic]

Life goals: one day get your portrait drawn by Stan. Bonus level: get one done by Marshall too.

[@Shootingstarcomics]

That looks good but the long strokes for his hair at the top are made in such a way that it looks like he has a combover. It looks like a part high above his ear too that ads to the combover look.

[@Poohzhunny]

I don’t know why, but I actually covered my mouth in dread when you went back to erase the eye. Good call though 😅👌

[@nyadambagra2178]

In these drawings Marshal's on the right side and Stan's on the left. They need to flip it to match the actual positions they sit in while recording draftsmen. 😝
