Creating Dynamic Characters from Loose Sketches

[@ProkoTV]

Don't miss your chance to improve your own sketching skills with our holiday sketch challenge. Details at proko.com/challenge

[@RossDraws]

YES ALAINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@ProkoTV]

We feel the exact same lol It was great to get to see her process like this.

[@soulvz]

First time seeing a digital sketchbook tour and it's pretty neat :)

[@ProkoTV]

There are so many awesome artists out there with great work that just happens to be digital. We're glad we got a couple digital videos in these 12 Days sketchbook videos.

[@WYD28]

Yeah! I always feel that I'm doing myself a disservice by not having a physical sketchbook but here she is using procreate just like me!!

[@ghengis423]

I'm loving this sketchbook tour stuff. I dunno if its just for the holidays, but this should honestly be a recurring segment indefinitely. Also, yall have your comics course right now and its fantastic, but I'm wondering if you've ever thought about maybe doing something like that for manga? I know there's a huge market for manga, and plenty of people who start learning to draw specifically because of anime and manga, so i feel like some content about it would be well received.

[@ProkoTV]

We agree. We have our sights set on a couple people we'd love to make that with and it's just a matter of time!

[@dizzyhungry]

I really like her forms, they feel very 3D but also quite dynamic

[@yeetusthefetus3465]

I love her already! Her artstyle is pretty amazing and the perspectives are awesome

[@AnimationInGames]

Alaine! I bought her book and a Superman Art at Lightbox Expo 2024! Amazing art!

[@khv12345]

i am obsessed with alaine’s work and i was so excited to see this!!! id love to see her animation process one day 💕

[@mercurygatorade]

Love her work been following for like 5+ years

[@VoidBringer_98]

Such dynamic poses!! Its insane! Also thanks so much for the reference drop. Im going to test out a couple of poses from that Pose Maniac place. Always great to get more resources

[@saliibajj]

Alaine Baybayan brings sketches to life with dynamic poses and bold anatomy! ✍ Truly inspiring! 🔥🎨

[@Chessbox09]

This was so helpful and informative. Love her approach and her gestural heavy approach to character design. Thank you Proko, this channel is a godsend.🙂

[@NKidd.Artist]

Oh woah! I was looking at her work on her Instagram like last week! Crazy timing!!!

[@SketchPLAY1]

Would love to see more Eastern Asian style Game Designers, Manga artists, Character designers here. The Eastern style is highly influential and inspirational.

[@Chessbox09]

Absolutely, they are extremely innovative and talented. I'm awestruck at their abilities.

[@artemis3831]

oh... you're new That's almost ALL we could find when we started 15-20yrs ago. We're all sick of it except those born yesterday 😂 There's like a billion how to draw manga channels.

[@justacatnamedmob]

I would really love to see mangakas in here!

[@michaeltemple6695]

Thank you for sharing the love and knowledge

[@eshel9886]

I love My adventures with Superman!

[@Smexyshapes]

1:57 Thanks for the shot out Alaine!

[@ProkoTV]

That should've had a tag on it like we normally do for other artists' work! Our apologies!

[@TSOMTSOMTSOM]

Really nice. Great characters from a great character.

[@AMStudios22]

Wow, Alaine is excellent.. I'm going to follow her!

YAYAYAY NEW PROKO VID

[@Theiel_art]

Please someone tell the Procreate developers to bring the lasso draw feature. Just like in Clip Studio. Yes, it is available in the lasso tool, but like the one in Clip Studio and the plug-in in Photoshop, it is not very useful.

[@notZerr]

❤️❤️

[@dailydoodle42]

Would be nice if the title included the words sketchbook tour or something. Hard to tell which videos are part of the Christmas sketchbook tours and which are "normal" videos

[@ProkoTV]

I get where you're coming from! Everything until the end of this week will be part of this year's 12 Days series. They're all in a playlist on our channel if you need to find them all together in the future. Hope that helps! 🔗kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHmXfoSCa7F1arc We titled and gave them thumbnails for the long-term life of the videos and what they contain. Someone looking through our videos or searching KZbin in the future will get more from this. Thanks for liking this series of videos. Enjoy the video with Bryce Kho tomorrow!

[@RenaudBAI]

She is SO strong !

[@rjacksonartwork189]

Loving these videos, per usual, and a big fan of the site! One small suggestion: please double-check the spelling of "references"; it's misspelled several times in the video and detracts from the overall presentation quality. Thanks for all the valuable content and efforts.

[@ProkoTV]

Yeah, a few errors made it through in our push to do these 12 daily videos for this series. Hopefully, you can forgive us these errors and we can make it up to you with the bulk of the tips and art knowledge. If not, we understand 😭

[@rjacksonartwork189]

@@ProkoTV Of course! I figured the typos were from speed and always appreciate the knowledge shared through the videos. Thank you as always!

[@AleZayas]

This is alaylays? All my favorite artists from Instagram are doing something Proko! 🙌

[@ProkoTV]

Who else do you like that we should be working with?

[@AleZayas]

@ProkoTV uh nice question. Al Sahiim I feel has a unique style and Kiiarts in the way they handle characters interaction. Probably two of my favorites at the moment!

[@julio2768]

poderia ter faixa de audio do youtube em outras linguas,isso ajuda muito em vez de ficar com olho na legenda e outro no video

[@ProkoTV]

Nem todos os canais têm acesso a esse recurso. Quando o tivermos, certamente o usaremos.

[@julio2768]

@@ProkoTV OK.Obrigado

[@MandyyHxH]

HEY IS IT IMPORTANT TO ADD A SCREEN PROTECTOR TO YOUR IPAD OR NOT? IN CASE OF DRAWING OF COURSE. CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ?

[@ProkoTV]

If you're using the Apple Pencil, you won't damage the screen with drawing. But many artists add it because of the feeling. Some people feel entirely okay with drawing right on the smooth screen. Others, including us, choose to use a paper like screen protector to give it more of the feeling of paper. We feel it reduces wrist fatigue as well because you're not having to use fine motor control to hold your pencil in place carefully on the slick surface. It doesn't matter what brand. Any "paper like" texture screen protector is a great addition, in our view.

[@flourishd1]

You heard it here people, law > zoro

[@Tha_Pencil]

More Procreate videos please proko!!!

[@ProkoTV]

Noted!

[@ZETAGeTh]

I admit I'm struggling with the concept of a digital sketchbook

[@ProkoTV]

Why?

[@ZETAGeTh]

​@@ProkoTV I don't know. When I think about a sketchbook, I'm used to thinking about pen and paper-a physical book. Having a digital "sketchbook" makes me think of just having a bunch of digital drawing files inside a folder on my PC, not a 'book for sketches' as I imagine a sketchbook to be. And please, don't misunderstand. I draw digitally myself, so it's got nothing to do with being against digital drawing or anything like that. It's just that I'm having difficulty grasping the concept.

[@ProkoTV]

@@ZETAGeTh I gotcha! For your digital work, you put the same amount of work into those pieces as anyone else with a traditional sketchbook. They're typically organized chronologically like a sketchbook is. You can take it around with you on a tablet. And they can exist in pretty much all the same ways as a traditional sketchbook. Don't try to divide up your art into categories by how they were made unless you have to when you're thinking about how to make something for a project because of its strengths/weaknesses for accomplishing your goals. The work you make digitally is just as valid :D

[@ZETAGeTh]

@@ProkoTV I'll try. Perhaps the fact that I only draw digitally at home on a PC is making it harder for me to adapt to the concept, as I don't have a drawing tablet, and the idea of taking my digital drawings with me outside the house is something I've never done. I'll try to follow your advice. I'll work on it. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.

[@ZETAGeTh]

@@ProkoTV By the way, I know I may be taking advantage of our conversation with this, but if there was a chance you could publish more videos about digital sketching and digital sketchbooks, it could be very beneficial for those of us who are having a hard time with the concept to get more familiar with it. Now, I haven't watched every video on Proko, so if you've already done so, it's on me to find those xD

[@HyperArtLV]

Do I need to find a producer for my work? It feels like being hired is like winning the lottery...I can't decide whether or not I'm good enough or it's just not an industry in America for black guys....

[@ProkoTV]

Animation is a very diverse field. But it's in the middle of a big shift that's changed the availability of jobs currently. I don't think you need to find a producer for your work to get seen or get you hired. But make sure you're doing networking whenever you can. That's one of the best things you can do in a project-based field like animation. Meet as many people as you can, take on some other smaller tasks on a project when you can, joining challenges and keep posting online. Like Alaine mentions, her social posts have been one of the things that got her noticed and hired. That's really common in animation. Hope you find something soon!

Baybayan?.....is this a filipina?🤔

[@j.2512]

kinda bland designs though

[@flourishd1]

She's a character designer not an illustrator, it works(especially for animations), also "bland" is just the wrong word to describe it

[@lordsavior1992]

​Don't mind me asking you the difference between Illustrator and character design just wanna Know​@@flourishd1

[@fenrisform]

@@flourishd1 exactly. it's more of 'simplified' for animation. You can't animate a fully detailed character design. that's really gonna cook your brain. you can only do that in 3D.
