added comment inI am from this day forth done with art. IT IS a talent and can not be learned.
Heyo, its entirely possible you might have Adhd or something else blocking your way outside of the course (that was the case for me so pardon my projection). Taking care of yourself and making sure you are enjoying the steps along the way are the only way to get better. It could also be that proko's teaching methods arent for you - though its not popular to admit, proko's methods ALONE doesnt work for a lot of people. Regardless of the reasons for that, Sinix design and others have helped me get the most out of proko's lessons by giving me permission to work in ways I find more intuitive and motivating. Heads up and enjoy the little steps. Art can and should be fun, regardless of your goals (IMO) .
As for talent. I think talent is learning/knowledge we dont understand yet. A lot of it boils down to developing intuitive kenetic memory and confident mark placement so that you dont have to think about the lines as you make them, and you can spend more mental resources on designing, understanding and learning. Good news is that that sort of stuff can be learned! but its a personal journey. I cant help you feel your own body and manage your mental resources efficiently.
Sincerely,
someone who has been there for far longer than you have, suffering from a similar angst, and got better (:
p.s. good luck!

Heyo it’s my first time posting! I’m not sure if there are any unspoken rules for this but here I go. This is a combination of my proko gestures and gestures I found on the line of action website. I’ll post more soon!
hey hello, honestly i think your gestures are amazing. but i can't sometimes see some poses well. can you try taking pictures in a better lighting.
Welcome and keep practicing. As far as the paper, I found that I could buy Kraft paper for super cheap. It takes soft mediums very well and only costs me around seven cents per sheet. I get the kind that shipping folks use for packing. At first, I thought I had made a mistake, because the craft paper DOES NOT take harder mediums at all. But, when I discovered that soft chalks and leads worked fine, I felt great because I no longer had to worry about the expensive papers one finds at the art store.
