Video not showing up at all
Hiya - I just bought Figure Drawing Fundamentals. Before I bought it, I was able to see the free lesson video thumbnails and click through onto YouTube. However, since I bought the premium course, the thumbnail area is blank with no way to see the videos. I've tried re-logging in, restarting my computer, disabling my adblock, and updating my web browser. Nothing has worked so far. Whether I click onto the lessons from "My Classroom" or from the "Browse Courses" page, I can't access the videos. Attached is a screenshot. Any ideas?

Please more of gesture stuff like CSI method
Hi @Proko Thanks for the drawing basic course. Also I am drawing some years it is good to go back to basic. I took the course ALSO for the CSI method. I like it :-) https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/project-simplify-to-csi/assignments Because I like gesture drawing like glenn keane or loish does I hope some gesture drawing course come out (I have the figured drawing course where this chapter is included, but not for the purpose of only gesture figure drawing) Thanks for your courses.

Suggestion: Invite a mental health expert for an episode
As you know and have covered before, mental health is quite fundamental for artists. I think it would be of great value to invite an actual expert on the field to dispel ingrained misconceptions about depression and anxiety, explain why do we get stuck in bad moods and what tools do we have avaliable to fight against them. I managed to recover from depression and do-nothingism largely thanks to the Feeling Good Podcast with veteran and pioneer psychotherapist David Burns, so of course he and his team have my whole hearted recommendation. That's it, have a great time.

Not able to navigate through all comments in a lesson (pagination)?
So, i've added a comment over here https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/project-simplify-to-csi/discussions And after a day I couldn't find my comment easily. I've noticed that the only way i could find my comment was to sort the comments from oldest to newest, and that there will be only displayed a number of comments in the lesson. But i'm missing an easy functionality to scroll through the comments like a load more button or pagination option.

Seeing comments/discussion in your feed
Been using Proko.com more in the past few weeks (love David Finch's comic book course) and I noticed that your feed in "My Classroom" currently shows posts and how many likes they have, but not the discussion/comments that are actually within them. I think it would be useful and more engaging for people if each post showed the number of comments in the topic and had an option to show the discussion and have the ability to comment on them without leaving the "my classroom" page.

Load more doesn't work
If you go to this topic: https://www.proko.com/community/topics/rebooting-my-art-learing-journey-feedback-appreciated When you scroll al the way down to the last message from prymitywizm, you can click on "show all replies (23)". That works, the list will expand. But when you scroll down the expanded list all the way down, you encouter a "Load more" link. When i click that link nothing happens. I'm using chrome on Windows 10.

An app please!!
Loving the new website Proko team! It’s fun, engaging and socially driven. What else could we need? I think an app that would give us live notifications on comments, forum threads, new announcements and at mentions on the site would be great. It would make this experience that much more engaging and personal for each of us. And I think it would be a natural progression with the new more social dynamic of the website and overall proko community. all in favor, say “I”. Is this a good idea gang? Or am I a crazy man?

Comic artist's different ways to draw different hairstyles.
A common thing I've read is that when drawing hair, you don't approach drawing each hairstyle the same way. Which makes sense. You don't approach illustrating the illusion of a shaved head the same way as a full head of curls. So I think it would be incredibly helpful for aspiring illustrators to learn the various ways that professionals create the illusion of the various hairstyles at varying lengths.

Suggested Skelly updates
I’ve used Skelly for a long time now and it’s a great app. Some additional functionality would help a lot: 1) allow selecting a background from reference photos. When I’m trying to get a pelvis right, for instance, I jump back and forth a lot between skelly and procreate. It would save times of time if the reference was within Skelly. 2) Skelly is not an exact match for any of the main models on Proko. It would be nice to have custom versions of Skelly tailored to some of the models. 3) the ability to morph different parts of Skelly to fit reference would be nice (make the torso smaller, pelvis bigger, arms shorter, etc). 4) provide the ability to straighten the spine as in a deep back end. 5) change the zoom/depth of field for deep perspective…

Can I watch the videos from my tv ?
On YouTube or another browser? I would really like to view my videos on my big screen tv but the screen mirroring option is so foggy. I have tried all kinds of ways before I wanted to ask your advice. None of them work! I understand that your content is very valuable and you do t want hacks or thief’s. If I can view it on my tv that’s great! If not I understand and at least now I can get back to drawing thru learning in my iPad! Thanks for your time, Eden

More and more spam!
Are there any moderators here? There is more and more spam on the forum. Just look here for example: https://www.proko.com/community/categories/community-challenges I've also reported spam in the other topics in the last days, but it has not been deleted.

Gift Cards
Hello. I want to know more about gift cards. Are they valid to buy a single course or depending on the amount of these you can buy several? What are your conditions of use. I live in Venezuela so it is difficult to send those cards, I don't know if I can send them by gmail?

Any future plans to include topics using AI for art?
ByA J
I believe this decade 2020s will mark a milestone in art, including AI for art seems like a big deal where with simple words/sentences AI will be able to generate a piece of media. I have given it a try and the results looks great but at the same time I feel like I'm using someone's else style and I don't have much freedom unless I refined my words. I'm just someone who is learning and improving my draftsmanship by hand using traditional media. Although, I feel tempted on using AI to get ideas on designing something new out of imagination in future. By the way, the below image was generated with AI and I just randomly type the words girl eating a cookie and the results look neat but you may find some errors like her hand is awkward but the picture is good nonetheless.

Overview of different gesture methods
Hi @Proko Thanks for the videos on Gesture (your own Gesture method, bean method, Michael Hampton's 8 parts of the body method). There are so many gesture methods that you can lose track. So my suggestion would be an overview of the different gesture methods and which industry or genre uses which method. To my knowledge, the animation industry tends to use fluid gesture drawings. Michael Hamptons or Prokos Method is more for fine art, I would guess. Thanks a lot. @georgerabbitearl

Class suggestion - Advanced Portrait: Age progression
A course about how the face changes as a person gets older. If you are creating a character concept, how to show them at all different ages. What do they look like at 5, 11, 15, 18 25, 35, etc...... Or you could just add the content for Premium subscribers to the Portrait class :-)
