Timer "Repeat" and "Try Again" functions aren't working properly
Hello, I've encountered and weird issue. After retrying a practice I've done before ex. 10 minute+25 images session from my dashboard, or after the practice ends, the same session with the same images in the same order repeats. If I recall correctly, the images would be different each time if you chose to retry the session, unless I gaslit myself into thinking it worked like the latter.

Timer Tool Suggestion - Review Images from Session
Hey Proko Team, I'm really enjoying the updates to the Timer tool with being able to download images and get information about the images. However, when I'm in the middle of going through a session, typically, the last thing I'm thinking about is pausing the timer and downloading the image or saving the pack it came from. Right now, it goes to the "Well Done" screen when finished but doesn't provide an option to look through the session images again. So, I would love to see a feature in the future to be able to go back through the images after you complete a session to review and perhaps download ones that I might want to take further than a gesture drawing.

Timer Tool improvements
Hello, just got the image packs for gesture drawing references, and since I'm on a tablet when I work on my traditional drawing desk I thought the Proko Timer tool would be good for practice, I think the tool works fine but there is a few things I'd like to see improve. 1. Being able to select a "Class Mode" with the timer increasing after a few images, like in Quickposes.com, or other gesture drawing apps. 2. Selecting more than 25 images. 3. Being able to see the total session's lenght after selecting the image and timer parameters ex. "30s images, 40 images total = 20 mins session" 4. Show images in grayscale and upside down. I think that's about it, I think it'd be really useful since I think the other gesture drawing websites's image pools are very limited and I would like to use the packs I bought from proko at it's fullest when I only got my phone or tablet to practice from. On my pc I have the Quickposes app which comes with all these options so when I get to my pc I use that since it lets me sample images saved in my pc (including the proko ones I bought), but on tablets and phones there isn't really something like this as far as I know.

When ready to start own projects
Hey everyone, I’ve been practicing fundamentals for over two years now, and slowly, some small ideas and projects are starting to form. But I have this huge mental block — every day I just keep practicing basics and doing exercises. I know there’s still years of learning ahead, but when does that feeling of being an artist actually come? I can’t even draw a clean portrait yet. How do you deal with this? I’d love to sketch, illustrate, and so on. Thanks so much!! Sniggy

The Roadmap & Community section
Just wondering what thoughts are on what’s coming from the roadmap and where the community sees priority needs? I think a lot of people have dropped off the community section (?) but I’d like to see them back and see see it really thrive and grow here (aside the courses and challenges which are already great). My thoughts on what is missing at the moment: - to be notified when someone you follow posts work to their album, possibly by also setting up dedicated published vs WIP albums - Commenting on albums/personal walls - Sketchbooks/journals, for members to track their progress through the courses, general art progress and thoughts, again with notifications - a dedicated critique section (like the ‘ask for help’ checkbox but it’s allowed in community/personal wall posts) - News - particularly Proko site/course news, but also somewhere for members to post Art related news/content for discussion, like a bulletin board - Personal messages and/or group chat - Maybe a few sub-categories in the Community section, though I’m not sure how deep or wide to go depending on how active it is. Could even add tags or something to allow searching/pseudo-categorisation. Keep up the great work, the content here is fantastic and I look forward to the future developments and growth.

Suggestion: Wishlist for tools and courses
I wish I was able to add courses, brush packs and reference image packs to a wishlist or collection, so that I could easily find and purchase them later. If I find something I like, I'm usually not able to purchase it right away. I've been using the cart as a wishlist of sorts, but it's more cumbersome than it needs to be.

Are subscriptions a thing?
I wasn't sure where else to ask this or post this, but I was interested in knowing whether Proko offers some kind of annual subscription that gives you access to everything. I saw a post of people talking about it on a forum somewhere, which is what made me interested, but I am not seeing an option for that anywhere. Am I missing something, or was that a previous option that no longer exists? Thanks in advance!

Timer Tool intervals
I freaking love the timer tool, its been a breeze to use. The only thing Id like to add to it would be an interval option so you dont have to end a session to set a new timer. For example, I do ten 1 minute, five 2 minute, two 5 minute, one 10 and 20 minute poses. It would be helpful if I could just pick my model packs, and then set intervals for how many reps I want to do. That way it does a seamless transition from 1 minute to 2 to 5, etc. Without having to back out, pick the model pack, pick the timer, pick the images and start over again for each set.

Very Importan missing feature on the Timer Tool: Show the pictures shown in the Timed Session at the end.
I have been using the Timer Tool a lot, almost daily, many times a day for practice for almost a year, I also have been using them for the courses like the Head Construction Course https://www.proko.com/course/head-drawing-and-construction by Michael Hampton and the Figure Drawing Course https://www.proko.com/course/figure-drawing-fundamentals by Stan. I'm going to explain why it's so imporant to have this feature and why it not being there is a bad thing. The thing that I have been having a lot trouble with is that by the end of the timed session, if I want to deliver my studies and practices for the lessons/assignments in the course, I have to stop the Timed Session each time a new image changes, so I can save it and put it on the canvas I'm working on to show the reference I used, and my take on the gesture, anatomy construction, etc. This is highly inefficient, also bad for the timed sessions themselves. Instead of being able to focus 100% on the Timed Session, I have to pause when a new image shows, right click on the photo to copy the photo shown to the clipboard, go back to the drawing program, and paste it on the canvas, then RESUME the timed session. It's a big distraction, specially on 30 second poses to 2 minute poses from having to pause every time, and it doesn't let me fully enter into the head zone to focus completely on the session. That's the only feature stopping the Proko Timer tool from being definitive! Many other online tools like Pixellovely, Quickposes.com and LineofAction have this feature at the end of their online tools! But I can't use the Proko Reference Image Packs I have bought on those websites, so they're of no use to me! Those places also lack the very useful features of being able to re-enact a practice you did days ago by checking your "Timed Sessions" section on your dashboard at Proko (Extremely useful feature, thank you for this!) Being able to see the images at the end of the session is extremely important, also so the artist can review their work by comparing it to the reference, and even get feedback from their peers! Another important thing for people that do Timed Sessions on a sketchbook, which I ALSO do, along with digital ones, the (very inefficient) action of right clicking on the images to paste on the canvas if you're working on digital doesn't work here! I've seen so many assignments by people taking courses on this website having to take PHOTOS of the screen so they can paste the reference awkwardly into their traditional sketchbook practice, this is not good! PLEAAASE, add the ability to see the pictures the Timer Tool used for the session at the end of the session, it's an extremely important, very useful feature that would be a game changer for many people using the timer too! And it would make it closer to becoming THE DEFINITIVE TOOL. (The only thing missing would be a Class Session option but I digress). Sorry this became a really long post, but I really wanted to make it clear how important it is that this feature is missing from the timer, this would help all the students at Proko! Thanks for reading and I hope the point I'm trying to make can be seen!

Remember Log In option for the website
Hello, I've been having this issue a lot recently, but the Proko.com website keep kicking my login out after a certain number of days, I don't know what causes it, but after a year+ of using the website it has become a bit irksome having to enter my log in so often after a couple days, a week, or so. This doesn't happen in any other website I visit that requires my log in. I really suggest for the website to implement a way to remember my log in, please!
