added comment inPainting the Head with Confidence: A Portrait Artist’s Toolkit
Hey Josh I got a question (got no painting experience but Potrait practice):
First I definitly want this course. Now or to wait until christmas. Thing is: I DRAW digitally for 6 months now, but I do not have painting (or digital PAINTING PRACTICE)
Yes, there is a basics course for digital Painting here on proko, but its expensive and I can't afford it now.
I also practice with Micheal Hamptons Head Construction course, so I got a little experience with Potrait.
As you see on the example, I do not have that much experience with colour or digital painting.
Can I anyway work with your Potrait Painting Course, or is it too advanced for me, yet?
Thanks, Josh, I love your drawing style!!

Hey, Kevin! Looking at what you've got in this piece, I think you definitely know enough of the core concepts to understand what Josh will be teaching in-depth in the course. I went through a lot of the course before our livestreams and he explains every step in his process with the why and how of what he does, both the art education aspects and how he's using the digital tools.
I think you should go for it! But if you want to see a free lesson he shared as a preview, here's on his YouTube channel so you can see his teaching style:

There’s a YouTube channel named “Nguyen Thanh Binh” that has this video up on YouTube for free. Pretty sure you guys wouldn’t like that. I left the link of this channel on the Proko YouTube channel but it got automatically blocked. Not too fond of thieves so I figured I’d warn you.

Thanks, Kimmy! I'd filed a takedown a while back but those didn't get taken down for whatever reason. I appreciate you sharing when you see that kind of thing.

I think its around 3 hours for this. i'm having trouble trying to make sure the planes proportions to be symmetric

This looks pretty solid to me. You experiencing it coming together will be different than the person viewing the final result so I’d be curious to hear what you think was making the symmetry more complicated for you?

These are some solid and diverse choices! Something Is Killing the Children is a great choice of study. There's a lot of variation in there as they go between different scene types.
Well done!

I have no idea why my assignment was submitted four times. I just did it once but it shows four times. sorry for the inconvenience
•

It NEEDED to be seen 🤣 It's no problem.
Tried this and pleased with how this one turned out.
•

Nicely done! On top of doing a very good job using the pencil to mimic the brush strokes, you did it on a pretty heavily textured paper without that looking to have given you too much difficulty with something that needed smooth lines and finesse.

Assignments 1 and 2. I tried to draw poppaie as a ginger root character but didn't do anything creative. Simply added some details to give it the feeling of ginger. The rest of the animals are just cross contour line.

That chameleon head at the top, the sliced ginger and the two red pandas are the standouts for me here. The chameleon, in particular, is no small feat to communicate the curving and complicated plane changes all on the one form.
Well done!

I overcomplicated things at the beginning and wasn't very happy with the first three. After the demo tried more and had a lot of fun. Even tried level 2, but the shape design is kinda lacking

I get what you mean. It does look like you warmed up and then were having more fun exploring proportions and shapes in the later ones. My favorite of all of these is the ostrich. That one's got so much personality that you really nailed in your drawing.
I also really liked seeing all the different variations of the bird on the last page. That kind of thing is so important to how you learn to utilize reference and add character and you seem to have a good hold on that!

Nice job on including an actual dark value. We can get scared to do it but that's so important to communicating a rounded form or a plane change.
