Bro recently your guests seems energyless. This one in particular spoke with a very depressed voice

[@art_renae]

@@andreapiredda8016 That may simply be the way they talk. Not everyone has a loud and energetic voice.

[@leveledfeats]

Thank you so much for having me on here! It was an awesome experience working on this :)

[@YakultEnjoyer22]

Your Artworks are beyond amazing! Thankyou for teaching us how you apply storytelling to your artwork, it helped alot!

I just watched him make a digital painting look just like a watercolor painting right before my eyes! That was absolutely incredible!!

[@owlsomeclipse]

The realism of those scenes...like a dream unfolding before your eyes.

[@Couple-O-Ghosts]

It was a privilege being able to follow along with your process. Thank you.

[@danielawesome36]

I don't understand what I feel when I look at these paintings. They're all so... _dreamy._ It hurts, for some reason.

[@Shome2049]

I am 18 and till now I have only drawn with graphite. Now I am moving to paints. Proko has helped me a lot in my journey. The intro is very nostalgic. Looking forward to see more painting tutorials on proko.

[@taylerolivasart]

So cool to see Dom on here! His book is definitely one of my favorites in my library.

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

U mean in my book?

Included more for photo bashing than I expected.

[@varuntulsyan2558]

I have been trying to find resources to learn dynamic lighting. This is a godsend! More videos on lighting please, Proko!

[@ok_listen]

I love these shorter videos, they're more enjoyable to watch in my opinion. Thank you!

[@lorenzo5694]

He used as reference the church of my village Martina Franca!!

[@EdwinPallens]

Omg this is the most simple and comprehensive instruction

[@ylu_art]

The bro used Martina Franca as reference and I m here for this ❤❤❤

[@caelan1470]

im about to colour a uni assignment so this came out with perfect timing for me! thanks for the education!

[@patriciacoogan5076]

Amazing. Such a delight to watch. I do watercolor medium and learned so much from your explanations. Thanks!

[@M.Menger]

that was absolutely amazing.

[@ahlamamr4659]

I really love this and the walk through of the process is really insightful. My main goal when I paint is to make the viewer feel something and create a mood and an atmosphere. I also really love how you got inspired from a traditional medium and applied these techniques or their ideas digitally and how you used diffrent features in photoshop that maybe weren’t essentially created for painting.

[@НиколайХанзо]

2 min and i like it already.

[@_Crazyslots]

Thank you so much! This is so useful!

[@santipoggi]

nice work 🙌🏼🤯 and also the lofi proko songs in the background 🎶

[@brendanwood1540]

Someone needs to make a graphite paint that can be applied to brushes so they effectively become a stylus. Then we can take real brushes and scale the digitized fingerprint. However, brush angle and spread can be directly controlled by the orientation of the real paintbrush held by the user. Either that or just make a range of specialized styles tools that have bristles and different weights. Then the contact area becomes the brush impression and there is no need for scatter, shape dynamics, or jitter that may create a repeating or digital texture. The stylus set could be as simple as the classic brushes that are included with Photoshop. Ideally though, each one would have a wheel that can adjust the scale and also the pressure when holding down a key.

[@tjs9876]

Reminds me of Chien Chung Wei's watercolors

[@АнастасияКадочникова-и3г]

Extremely beautiful drawing!😊

[@j0hnnyblade]

I don’t really get it - if the purpose of the storytelling in this finished image is about the man who goes to the office and loses his documents, why is there so much attention put on the buildings, what is the purpose of making central one more imposing with the statues? To me it looks like it is about the guy in front admiring the sun shining on the buildings cause my eye is drawn to the brightest area of the canvas

[@SwordmasterSeph]

something something eye of the beholder. not everyone is gonna get the same feel from an image.

[@shanghaitatoo]

I agree. It's a beautiful piece, but not to tell a story about the person and what's happening to him. It's a piece about the building and light - that's the focus. Not the person. I have the same feeling with most of these style of story telling - it doesn't tell much of the story of the character. It's just a beautiful landscape with some vague characters in them.

[@shanghaitatoo]

Also, I think what would improve massively to the storytelling is to have the light fallen on the man who dropped his paper and what's happening around him.

[@alexlakota3598]

thanks for the video

[@julianas.3352]

Any more other resources to make lighting like that? I’m really looking for it everywhere and this was the only video I can find what I was looking for
