Beautiful work! I love the colors and rough texture. I almost feel that changing the angle of the head just slightly downwards, such that the shadow shape under the eye on the lighted side of the face formed a triangle down to the nose a bit, that it would help the flow of the viewer's gaze. With the distinct rhythms of the horns and jaw/ears, even cheek bones and cast shadow of the head, my eye wants to be drawn down but feels interrupted by the light shapes. A slight down tilt would also make for a little extra dynamic in the expression as well! Of course, that would be a major change now, but hopefully the advice can be applied to future paintings as well.

I also feel a little worried about this! I was recently really excited about a new course, only to realize that the entire course was locked behind premium besides the first video which was basically an ad for the course followed by a random lesson from it. I understand Proko and all of the artists collaborating here to make this happen have to make their income, but I feel like there will still be plenty of that even with a greater percentage of free content. Personally, what is so incredibly exciting about Proko to me is that I can access high-quality, in-depth art education even though I can't afford to pay for it right now. I know that this content will take me to a point where I will be able to make a steady income myself, and I speak genuinely when I say that at that point, I will ABSOLUTELY be returning to all my favorite courses to complete them with premium content. I think that will be true of many here, and having more free content will draw more users overall which would also benefit the social side of Proko. I think people would be able to sense quickly if the site was "herding" (as killgannon called) users towards purchases and be discouraged from participating and investing in the first place.

I feel like my idea is similar enough add on here - I'd like the ability to move images between albums after uploading!

30 second and 2 minute poses! Any critique welcome but especially appreciate advice for the boy buns - I feel like I always make the pelvis too small and/or end up with extraneous/disruptive lines near the glutes on male figures. (See the hanging pose near top left, the pose with two blocks, ladder pose, and bottom right.)

I tried to focus more on the flow of the figure as a whole more, but the rhythm isn't quite there yet. I guess there is much work to be done! Any feedback is always welcomed

Very difficult to think of twist. But I understood I need more and more robo bean practice before mannequinization practice for the whole proportion.

Why is it so hard to be an intermediate artist? And how can you make sure you keep your morale up before you reach that industry standard quality?

If I’m not listening to music I almost always have a podcast on or something on YouTube haha, but occasionally there are times I’m in the zone without it. I love video game soundtracks! Undertale’s is awesome. I particularly jam with splatoon music haha it’s sick 💯. But my favorite band to listen to while drawing is by far Vulfpeck, they’re a funk/rhythm type music, some with bangin’ lyrics 💥but mostly instrumentals, they are almost lyrical in how they sound though. Super high energy, but low volume in the background, I think it can really get you in the flow. They’re super skilled and I totally dig the vibes. Anyway there’s my pitch can you tell I’m a fan ahah. If your interested in a transformative mind-bending musical experience, check out miracle musical- ミラクルミュージカル - Hawaii part II. My recommendation is to listen to it from beginning to end! So freakin cool!! A truly immersive musical experience unlike any other!

Some movie OSTs are okay. I like 90s/00s pop and some older soul stuff. The most frequently I've been listening to podcasts while drawing, tops are 99% invisible, Radio Lab and several other art shows including Draftsman. BUT recently like two month or so I've stopped completely. I categorized audio (lyrical and non-lyrical) and visual (text and graphical) are "destroyers of automatic thoughts". I control my time of doing these things. I have my earphones on noise reduction but silent. So I can think better how to arrange my compositions, think deeper into those automatic ideas of mine and jot them down quickly. It makes me feel good when listening to beautiful OSTs and other great musicals, and just like their purpose is to deliver an "sensational image", you get carried away in that cinematic mood and often don't do stuff as efficiently.

Hi Casey! I’m surprised to know that you like Undertale too! I played in Steam and I love the story and the music so much. I often listen to Nier Replicant’s OST. It has orchestra version, and every boss theme sounds really emotional. I didn’t know CloZee, so I will find her music☺️
