I am a profssional aeronautical concept artist and at 44 I am regretting that I focused so specifically on my niche, I have achieved a lot and created a great business out of specifically drawing aircraft and aircraft parts and branched into interior and exterior design for aircraft but when I watch comic and more general artists freehand I get so jealous and miss my high school days of drawing things other than airplanes. All of these techniques he's demonstrating I have use but another regret is going digital - I love my Wacom but I can't remember when last I did a polished piece on actual paper - it feels like the most natural form of the art that I have gone so far from I wonder if I can come back.

I just have a question about "confident lines"... Most artists/teachers I've come across, say to have confident lines and not "sketchy" ones (like, one line being joined by multiple strokes). What's everyone's opinion on that? Is it style?

[@ProkoTV]

It can be a stylistic choice. But the main goal for conversations that like that is about you being able to make lines with intention. If you're trying to draw smooth, straight lines and aren't able to, it should be a thing you try to build up a skill with. But if you're able to make smooth lines and scratchy lines, it's more of a style choice that you can use when you want to.

[@tiomac.95]

Looking at other pros I see them make intentional lines and not scratchy ones. They dont always look straight or smooth but they always convey form and has function. I think they learned this after many hours of practicing, that they go straight to drawing with minimal searching lines involved. You can check out the linearts of Otto Schmidt, Eleeza and Svanhaart, I think they’re great examples.

The fun is watching a professional at their task. Yay to the return of the funk.

[@Mirashome]

Oh no, how could I miss it? I will definitely watch it, thank you!

[@secretavenger9444]

I'd like to see Ryan draw Hulk from start to finish full body for the next demo.

[@thegurch7313]

naked? Hulk not Ryan.

Question: Fight for your own style or try to look like the "artists of the moment" to get a job?

[@ProkoTV]

That's a hard choice and ultimately comes down to what you enjoy most and what you need to feel comfortable when you make art. I wish you luck in that personal search!

[@GranamyrKhan]

@@ProkoTV Got it! I think a balance between those ways could be a possible solution. Thank you so much for the answer! I love the channel, please keep the good work!

Question: is learning a lot of anatomy super important when making comic book characters

[@ProkoTV]

Learning some anatomy is important for most art. You don't need to know the name of every single muscle in the body but it helps more than we can really know until we actually learn it.

[@EzugwuEmmanuel-gx5eo]

I need to get those instrument but it too hard in my country

[@Cerebro-gb5ch]

I'd like to see a character from your original work, Brothers...

[@secretavenger9444]

Yeah..

[@secretavenger9444]

Fonz.

[@superelite1776]

15 years too late. Current day Marvel has the worst art and “storytelling” in comics. Crowdfunded comics are the future because it’s a real meritocracy.

[@aztecmeza9234]

I would find it hard to believe the art is worse off. Storytelling, maybe idk what character or characters you believe the story is worst. I'm just curious about why you believe so

[@bozoclown2098]

Very sad psychology involved.
