[@Draftsmen]

Thank you for being here with us on this journey, and don’t forget to stay in touch! Check out Marshall’s website at marshallart.com and Stan’s personal website at www.stanprokopenko.com/

[@zenkoan1838]

It has been a wonderful journey and I enjoyed the interplay between both of you. Would the two of you be willing to collaborate on another podcast in the future?

[@alexv7113]

Will there be more content posted on this channel or can I safely unsub?

[@americo9999]

I just started watching season 1 and I can really see the great progress you and Marshall have been done with the podcasts , I'm really sad to hear that this is last episode of Draftsmen with Marshall :( what's gonna happen in the future Mr Stan, I don't wanna go Mr Stan. Marshall don't go please, : (

[@poseidon689]

Im looking forward into taking classes with any of you! Youre both so inspiring, thanks for this repository of knowledge!

[@colorswordsandlearning]

Thank you for all the wonderful podcasts and videos.. You both and you team are Great.. We will miss you.

[@alexandraelenacristea]

A beautiful ending to a marvelous series. I guess I'll have to go back to season 1 episode 1 and rewatch at least 10 more times :D. Thank you for all your hard work that has been put into this podcast and thank you for all valuable the knowledge and experiences that you shared with us. Excited for what is to come.

[@dezukaful]

this is the end of an era. Really loved the podcast and it was the initial push i had to start my art journey. Thank you for the effort Stan and Marshall

[@francoismahr]

Am I the only one who almost cried at the end of this episode ? But in fact I am so grateful we've got so many "very" episodes to watch again and solve most of the creative issues of the art world. Thank you to both of you and the dream team of course.

[@aaaelhage3949]

I was "very" sad

[@Kinetickaze]

I'd pay for a collection of holiday classics sung by Marshall anyday!

[@clcanady1002]

I would too!

[@kalisera31]

This podcast is very important to me, it became my friend and aid thru hardest times. Just started studying drawing last year and you guys helps me improve and made art so much fun. This podcast will be imprinted into me till the day i die. Thank you so much.

[@nelsonvieira9038]

I love this ending they started with the awkward intros and closed it with the awkward ending! it's been a pleasure to have stayed this long, looking forward to future projects.

[@nelsonvieira9038]

and also you guys dropped the last episode on my birthday I love that XD

[@Chamucokiddo]

I dropped the podcast because I was getting burned out of all things art (been watching since the first episode btw), and I come back to find out it ended. I'm certainly sad but also very glad it happened, I will very much refer to it for the rest of my life and career and recommend it to death to my art peers and friends. Thank you so much for all you guys have done for the art community, especially the younger ones like you said, I'm one of those in fact. There were innumerable times I was pulled out a rut, doubt in my skill, uncertainty because of quarantine and other many things. Bless you both and all the Draftsmen pod team, I wish you all peace, happiness and freedom!

[@davincimen4495]

These are perhaps some or the most substantive, high vibe podcasts I’ve ever subscribed to. Marshall has so many sublime insights that come of so much rich creative living and experience. I love these. I’m happy there are a few additional podcasts that have come forth since this ending one. What gems.

[@jennaecreates]

I wanted to cry hearing you guys talk about allowing people to share their ideas in a safe place. I worked for an ad agency last year (first time in that environment) and when speaking about our concepts, I was immediately told that my ideas were elementary and not what they wanted in front of all my peers. I had never felt so embarrassed and humiliated at a place of work, I quit that same day. This was not an environment that nurtured. I knew I had to have bad ideas to work to the good but had my confidence shot in a way that has really messed me up as a designer. I haven’t been back to a design job since. I’ve been focusing on improving my craft as an illustrator and trying new things that have nothing to do with art or design. That has helped me get back into the swing of things. Thank you guys so much for your podcasts, you have no idea how much this has helped me. Thank you! ❤

[@IvaN-cf7qt]

that last awkward handshake/ high five, is totally on brand. i am glad you end it all with your signature awkwardness.

[@Zirnworks]

So glad to have seen this series flourish and I'm looking forward to seeing what you two make going forward. Thanks for the mention at 4:50. "Ideation" is not completely interchangeable with creativity, but it is better-defined in the context of teaching design. Students can stumble due to the common belief that creativity is an innate personality trait. To echo Stan, it's intimidating. In the world of concept art, ideation is simply about mapping out the possibility space so that the team can choose the best path for production, and the process can be as systematic as the designer wants it to be. Creativity itself is not a process as much as it is the result of process.

[@ollie_r8162]

I can't believe my favorite podcast has ended. Thank you so much for the wonderful hours.

[@armandoguajardo4789]

Honestly this was one of my favorite art podcast

[@TheBoneBrew]

I would very much love to hear Marshall on more podcast about creativity and books for the creative or ideator. Something I wanted to add is that creativity is very much a collecting of dots and connecting them. If you don't think you are creative collect better dots.

[@ErikaCasab]

Been listening since the very beggining! Looking forward to the next adventures. BTW count me as part of the 100 Marshall fans ;)

[@KoongYe]

Thank you both and the crew so much for this podcasts... sad its no more. I was introduced to so many great artists, knowledge and ideas over the years, on top of being entertained. Although its not hard to find technical tutorials in making art, its so much harder to find a good source of information on how to BE and CONTINUE BEING an artist. The podcast quenched that end of my thirst. I visit my favorite episodes bunch of times when i am struggling and will do the same for the rest of my life. I hope to see the podcast comeback again... if it ever does.

[@davz905]

Hey Marshall, hey Stan, I started my "drawing-journey" 2 years ago, with the beginning of the first lockdown here in Berlin. I really what to thank you for the podcast, because it really helped me to stick to the subject. Because of you two I discovered "Radiorunner's curriculum for the solo artist", and it really helped me to organise myself, continues to do so. Your platform, your podcast, gave me recommendations and resources that I am actively using and that I would not have had otherwise. So I guess what I am trying to say is thank you. Because this podcast helped me in more way than one, opening up possibilities for deeper learning and I am sad it is ending but glad you made this for people like me. Byebye, you are awesome

[@ahahaliseo9233]

I remember finding the draftsman podcast all the way back in episode 2 of season 1. I had just decided to focus on my art and dedicate time to learning, growing, improving, and working, towards the goals i had. I remember being very lost and overwhelmed with just the idea of the journey that was to come. And being nervous and a little scared of it. I didn't know much about art but knew I wanted to do something with it. And I didn't know where to start but I knew I wanted too. And then on one seemingly regular day this strange podcast appeared in my recommend list and, I clicked on it. I wasn't expecting to find one of the most interesting and inspiring podcast, that would go on to change and shape the way I learn, grow, and improve, towards the goals I have, but I did! This podcast has held a pretty special place in my heart over the last 2 years, and I genuinely hope it continues to hold that place. So what i guess im trying to say is thanks for shedding some light on this journey we call art. And making this path a bit less foggy for a 17 year old artist who didn't even now where to begin. And thank you for being something that I could always tune into, whenever I felt excited, confused, tired, happy, or whatever else I was feeling over these last 2 wonderful years full of learning with this podcast. So from the bottom of my heart thank you Marshall and Stan for making the a podcast that has impacted me and my journey in ways i couldn't even describe. Thanks Marshall and Stan ❤

[@rubenfrutosarroyo]

I've been there since the beginning of Draftsmen. It's sad that it's come to an end but I feel like there's enough useful and varied content to revisit the podcast for many years (Very Draftsmen). Thanks guys!!

[@liz6245]

I didn't want to listen this episode for months, I couldn't accept the end of my fav podcast QwQ thank you for teaching me, inspiring me and giving me company during my drawing sessions

[@1devotioninmotion]

Marshal is like the dad i never had ; ) I could listen to his soothing voice all day hehe ... love this episode

[@IraMishchuk]

I was here from the first episode till the last... It's the only podcast that I listened to. Beautiful amazing job, Marshall and Stan!

[@justicecommander9455]

As someone that has been following since season 1 I congratulate you both Stan and Marshall for your work in these 3 or so years, I have to admit that Draftsmen was probably the only podcast that I even bothered to follow weekly and every time it gave me a lot to think about. And while I think that the energy of the firsts season wasn't fully present in this last one I still enjoyed it. May you Stan along with Marshall and the Proko team have success in your next endeavors.

[@JeremmyaDevin]

I actually never comment on draftsmen channel because my lack of english but I actually followed you guys from the very beginning of draftsmen in Proko's channel. I even download a lot of your episodes so I can listen to it over and over while working on my own projects. I know this is not the last episode since Stan said he will continue but I will miss these weekly videos you guys did, it helped me learning many subjects I didn't know or didn't need, especially for me to learn better english (I know mine is far away from being good but I understand anything you guys talked about). Exciting to see what will happen to this channel in the future! I hope there will be more Marshall featured videos since he's a charismatic and interesting smart men.

[@JO-yq8fq]

I'm not even a visual artist, I'm a musician, and it was enormously helpful to listen to your show. Thank you for your work!

[@ratslaydownflat2540]

Hi there you two. I started watching this podcast religiously in 2019 during a major change in my life. This was at a time that I was terrified because I believed I had very little access to creativity but I've known all along I was meant to be a creative. I'm no longer scared because I now know who I am and why I struggled, you both have played a major role in this discovery and I'm eternally grateful for that. The respect that I've gained for myself and for art has been the greatest revelation of my life and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. This last year, everytime I have pondered another struggle I was coming up on, there seemed to be a new epsiode that helped me begin to conquer it. I have the utmost respect for the both of you and wish success to you and your team at every turn. Thank you Stan and Marshall.

[@KN-ex6ld]

This podcast brought me into the art world last year. Love the podcast. Love you guys.

[@0ia]

Same!

[@AndrewMarloweTV]

hard to believe this is going to be the last...hope to see you two reunite for future videos on other platforms and productions

[@paochev4330]

To think that my first time commenting in one of your videos is on the last episode, is kind of sad, but I really want to echo everyone's gratitude for your hard work and quality art education packaged in an entertaining bundle of episodes full of wisdom and witty banter. Wish you all the best!

[@maugrins]

WOW ive been here since the begining and im so excited for bridgman! TY Marshall! and you are great too Stan.

[@haronmhyounis6549]

I can't thank you both enough for all the knowledge and positive energy you put out there for 3 whole seasons! Can't wait for your next projects!!!

[@charlotte-stuff]

As a fitness trainer, I understand not wanting to 'coach the desire' into someone. People get used to leaning on others for motivation, instead of searching for it within themselves. Thank you, Stan and Marshall, for teaching me so much about art! This entire podcast has been a lovely ride.

[@Wolfknightly]

I have really enjoyed watching the Draftsman Podcast over the years. I'm glad you guys did them. There has been a lot of good information and interesting conversations covered. I have been watching them from the start and I have watched everyone of them. I am going to miss them.

[@joschuaknuppe5849]

I'm here since episode 1, it was a wonderful ride, thank you Marshall and Stan and the rest of the team!

[@Rice8003]

Haven't watched any new episodes yet since the episode after announcing the end of Draftsmen. I'm just saving it, so I don't miss the feeling of a fresh Draftsmen video for a long time

[@FJRamosArt]

Great stuff! This applies to so many subjects, not just visual art. It was a pleasure watching/listening to the Draftsmen.

[@artalgo5172]

This podcast will be missed. Thank you, Mr. Marshmallow and Mr. Pickle Pringle, for inspiring an new generation of artists. I hope these videos remain online forever. 🤘

[@ZoungyArt]

Very last episode! Thanks for them all. Very thanks.

[@cory99998]

I've significantly improved my creative block by improving my self confidence and removing identity attachment to my work. When I fail, I don't feel like *I* failed, rather I tried something that ultimately helped me learn and progress on a greater journey. I don't feel so bound to a given failure, or success for that matter. This has increased my creativity a lot as I feel much more fearless and hopeful for the things I work on, knowing that I don't need them to be perfect.

[@anakay1184]

I can't say much. You guys have been there for me through a lot and I've practically learned English with this. I'll miss you guys, specially Marshall. I'll have to rewatch old episodes from now on... Thanks for everything. Love from Ecuador.

[@frankferrer3371]

I'm going to miss you two and this show so much... you helped me a lot and it felt like friends getting together

[@nikkikah2356]

I watched this podcast from Episode One and loved to watch this series grow and expand and teach. I'm so thankful for this knowledge and humble fun, and so many years of listening to this podcast over and over to come.

[@zackplaysta]

Thank you "very" much Stan and Marshall. Proko have been a fundamental part of my growth as an artist and I was fortunate enough to follow the series since the first season when it was being uploaded on the main channel, and I can say that all the hours of information, knowledge, and even the laughs that I got from this podcast are worth every single minute of it. Thank you guys and I hope to be present to see your future projects. Cheers

[@Halkpelt]

so sad to see this podcast end ;; thank you both so much for all your hard work

[@shilpa7920]

I could go on to explain how much this podcast means to me but I will just say that I'm very very incredibly thankful for everything you guys have done, this will definitely be one of the most life-changing events of my life, these memories will stay fine as wine when I'm old. Wish you all the very best and pretty excited to be part of the next stage!

[@knightowl2407]

I have yet to watch many, very many, of the episodes, but thank you Stan and Marshal so very much. Very very.

[@xin-yichang4533]

Thank you for the three season Draftsman Podcast, Marshall and Stan! I enjoyed it and also learnt a lot! *-* Also thank you everyone behind the scene! :D

[@martabraz8808]

I discovered this podcast in episode 2 or 3 of the first season! It has been a true studio companion and I will miss it. I'm excited to follow up on your future projects. Thank you for everything!

[@tebtan7998]

the end of an era :') this podcast means so much to me, I thank both of you for doing this for 3 whole seasons. It's been fun, and my art and my mindset towards it has grown so much over this time. Draftsmen has helped me so much. It has watered my crops and cleared my skin. I'm a better artist and better able to support my friends in their creative pursuits thanks to what I've learned here. I'll keep an eye on your future projects!

[@pterodactyl73]

I've been here since season 1, and just founs out the podcast end. Too bad I wasn't there for the last but this podcast made me go thru my hardest time of my art journey and I thank you all for doing all the hard work. Sheesh i keep shedding a tear

[@RickyHawkinsPaintings]

I have been listening/watching the Draftsmen here on youtube since episode 1 debuted. I have enjoyed the journey and insight from this podcast very much, thanks Stan, Marshall, and Proko team. Can't wait for whatever comes next from you all.

[@thanatos454]

I've been here since episode one but this is the first time hearing that the podcast is closing shop. It was a gut punch. I've been holding off on listening to episodes to let a backlog build up. I typically binge listen as I get a lot of work done. I'm sorry the podcast didn't pan out. I wish you both all the best! p.s. please consider putting out a yearly reunion episode

[@logantj8020]

My class did the same thing in creative writing as Marshall mentioned, though I think my teacher called it unconscious writing. We also had an activity where we were assigned postcards to each student and were required to write something for them. It didn't necessarily have to be about said person. It was pretty open to anything. We uploaded them anonymously onto a google doc, which I think was also helpful in letting go of any fear while creating. I also think it's worth noting that those postcards were useful in that writing on something small and random or seemingly insignificant, like a sticky note, seems to put any worries at ease when creating. I've used the postcards for drawing because of that class, and going in, I don't care about the product because there's already a pretty picture on the front. I'd recommend tactics like that for getting over creative blocks.

[@davidportilla4377]

i am here since season 1, the pandemic episodes make me keep focus on art , and was always great to listen this while drawing, a good company, so thank you very much!

[@vishtem33]

The other thing about taste is that sometimes you confuse your feelings of frustration for real reasons to dislike the work. So personally I have had this experience where I look back on an artwork and yeah, I am better than that now - but that artwork was actually much better than I thought it was at the time. And I evidently had a clearer purpose than I felt I did at the time.

[@alexismorningstar]

thank you for sharing all this time with me, I will miss your podcast so much, but I will try to follow your separate works, see you around

[@vitorpdm1930]

Loved the podcast guys, stay safe.

[@RakanMag]

Thank you guys... I'm gonna miss this show. Looking forward to whatever you guys are doing in the future.

[@catlookingdownonyou5465]

Listening to this podcast have become one of my habit when im doing art, kinda sad this is the last one but im still looking forward for your guys future ptoject!

[@VeraGolosovaArt]

Been here from the first episode. Amazing podcast, I cannot count how many times I shared the link to different episodes with people. Looking forward new stuff from both of you! Huge thank you to both of you!

[@spiderspyy]

Thank you for being here with us all this time.

[@outpost484]

thank you for this great podcast series Marshall and Stan !!! i learned so many things from you and you gave me so much inspiration and motivation to move forward on my art journey!!!!!

[@Garl_Vinland]

Draftsmen started when I had just begun my masters, and it ends before my final semester. Poetic.

[@artKarolina]

I'm disappointed you guys are ending the podcast. It's really good and there's very few like it. I have been around since season 2 at least.

[@sebastiancheriansyoga9103]

I'm gonna miss this podcast

[@edwardteach1992]

Though it's very sad to see the end of this podcast, I'm still glad it happened. Thanks to you two! I'll forever be grateful.

[@SnuubScadoob]

I wish they could have done more book reviews or something, I loved just listening to them talk. I’m sad this podcast is no longer continuing.

[@georgebagdasarian4823]

One of the best podcast i ever watched/ listened to, also from episode one, both insightful funny and lively. i used to listen at it when i prepared for my fine arts exams and i laughed all the time with the dynamics of the team, many thanks for producing this excellent show, and i wish you the best for the future.

[@Nishi19921]

thanks for all Proko and Marshall! I already miss you guys :'(

[@joaco264]

Here since season one! Althoug I haven't watched all of the episodes. Too bad it came to an end, but fortunately the episodes will be there for whenever we want to get back to them. I loved especially the ones about schoool of art vs no school of art. Thank you!!

[@LALA-nk8pm]

I've been here since the first episode & will truly miss you both. Thank you for sharing all your valuable knowledge & suggestions, it is priceless. All the best to the both of you.

[@AscendantStoic]

1:01:50 Or as the young ones say in their memes "Go touch some grass" XD Going to miss you a lot guys, it's time to go binge any episodes I missed I guess, best of luck on your future endeavors (and I hope we get at least one Draftsmen reunion episode every year to catch up with the latest happenings during the year and hear about "What's your thang" has been during the year).

[@tomremeny]

What an amazing resource of knowledge and entertainment! Thankyou for putting this podcast into existence!

[@johnnyholmes5688]

I've been watching from day one, I will truly miss you guys...

[@rdyramos]

I was wondering why the algorithm didn't show more draftsmen podcasts . Thank you Guys for the great work

[@yohenson]

I tell you what I want from draftsman: an NFT of ALL the photomontage episodes. Those are hillllaaaarious.

[@charleswelles4192]

Thanks so much you guys! You're awesome and was a wonderful format and great content. Sad day, but endings and beginnings are part of it. My favorite episode was the one on cartooning. Thanks and bye.

[@shmiddy8]

Gonna miss you two. I look forward to going through all the episodes again some day.

[@kuda999]

I've been watching this podcast since the first season. I am going to miss it, thank you for all the advice and knowledge.

[@nettacanfi5475]

Thank you for a great ride

[@kikoeart3021]

:( this is the end, my friend the end...nooooo :( so sad. Thank you both some much this has been the best art podcast ever! (please do an other one lol)

[@StClair008]

I'm sorry this series is ending. It was a unique conversation between two curious people. Was not always flattering, but it was engaging and thought-provoking.

[@MartinNicolasGrasso]

Thanks Marshall, Stan and all team for this. This was an amazing trip. Thanks again. This podcast help me a lot for my life, art and business thanks, thanks thanks.

[@emilyhigbee8328]

[@iissac1541]

This podcast helped me to be more productive thank u guys ill miss you

[@diegoortiz5047]

It was shocked to know about this was ending. You guys were my guides on my art road for the last two years. I have encountered a hundred of answers to my doubts thanks to your podcasts. There are no words for the feelings I am having now, but I am exciting for your future projects. Go and make them! As I, thanks to you, pursuing them as well. It's not a goodbye but a see you soon!

[@Curiousectoplasm]

Thank you guys for the podcast, it was nice to make a bit of my art journey with you in my ears. 😊 I’m a bit sad that it’s the last episode though, I’ll miss it 😢

[@SuperFcsmith]

I can sure relate, nothing like getting that great magazine cover concept with a killer deadline!

[@makanansari144]

Nooo! I realy love your podcast guys! is it possible to see you amazing people again?

[@lazyartiste_2357]

Beautiful episode. Beautiful ending.

[@jayedwin98020]

And you guys really aren't going to do this anymore? What a bummer! You all will be missed!!!

[@heiispoon3017]

That ending was so appropriate!! Thanks for everything!

[@rafael_cardenas8167]

i really on since the first season, i always listen to your prescription and analogy while im practicing and mastering my craft.. and this topic got me to the bone..and thank you for this

[@squarala]

Thank you for this ❤. It's been a good journey through your ideas and beliefs around the world of draftsmen. One can see your passion of art in every episode. Thanks for all the contet, advices and funny moments, this is my favourite Podcast ever 😄

[@esteban-iriarte-animation]

This podcast was a great ride! I'll be relistening many episodes many times because the knowldege encased in them is just great. Thank you Stan, Marshal and all the crew for giving us such a great podcast! Also, what about "It very depends"? (I think i'm starting to like the green hat. That's dangerous). I'll keep an eye on whatever you do next. Best wishes and good luck!

[@sabojezles]

Thank you, guys, beautiful work!!!

[@iamapie13]
