I enjoyed the habit of drawing everyday during the 12 Days of Proko. The timer tool is great and there are lots of professional photos to work from. I took one day off from it and got right back on it. Now the habit is a fixture in my daily routine. I've been posting the images in the two week challenge thread in the Drawing Fundamentals Course, but since a.) this will be a longer habit than two weeks and b.) not everyone on Proko is enrolled in that course, I'm starting a thread here. Anyone inclined, feel free to join in. Use the timer and whatever photos you have packs for, or are freely available. Here are a few two minute sketches from me--mostly from the Viking Volume 2 Pack. 22nd Day of Proko and counting.

When I was doing my Alex Ross Kingdom Come master study, I came across his original thumbnail in "Mythology, The DC Art of Alex Ross." I'm sure this little sketch only took a few minutes, but so much about what makes the final piece amazing, is right there from his initial conception. Thumbnailing is one of the most creative parts of the picture making process. When staring at the white of a blank sheet of paper, the possibilities are infinite. As soon as the first mark is made, it starts to become specific, literally making something from nothing--creation in its purest form. For many, me included, this part of the process is intimidating, but like anything else, we can get better at it with practice. As 2024 draws to a close, I'm nearing the end of my scheduled master studies. From them, I learned a lot about the painting process. The next step as we start 2025, is to apply what I've learned from that process to my own original compositions. But what to paint? In this thread, I plan to develop a thumb-nailing habit, and from the library of ideas I intend to generate, to pick a few to complete as paintings. I love comics, so you'll see a lot of comic book cover concepts from me, but it doesn't need to be limited to that. As this is a good habit for all of us that are interested in picture making, this is an open thread anyone can join in. No finished pieces here, just rough concepts--the first efforts you make when wrestling with the blank page or canvas. Good luck! I hope you join in.

Hi! Thought it’d be fun to start a challenge around perspective. - Pick a shape, object, character, anything you like! - Redraw it from a different perspective. All about mileage and practicing perspective regularly. Anyone's welcome to join!

I wish I could commit to painting in watercolor daily, but I think that's a bit unrealistic. Nevertheless, I want to paint more and I am starting this thread with the intent of posting to it at least once a week with watercolor paintings and sketches. Here are a few of my recent efforts. The first two floral paintings were demos I followed out of Julie Pollard's book, "Watercolor Unleashed", and the last two were studies done from the same photograph. This is a community thread, so let's exert some positive peer pressure on each other and sling some paint!

For anyone waiting for (insert Marshall's singing voice) "the terrifying mastering perspective course", a place to practice and learn equirectangular projections or similar. I've just started this week on procreate and would love to eventually do plein air ones with paint to upload to google street view (360).

My Proko Project Pad is a space to document my artistic journey. It’s a collection of small projects and exercises that go beyond the standard Proko lessons. The goal is to explore new creative spaces and apply my knowledge to projects that feel meaningful and engaging. Here are the start questions I’m currently exploring: - How can I create three-dimensional spaces to tell engaging stories and visualize imagined worlds? - How can I capture a person’s likeness in a drawing? - How can I apply my knowledge of color and light to draw compelling scenes? - How can I render different materials and textures to create the illusion of reality? - How can I tell a compelling story through visuals alone? - How can I craft and refine a creative idea?

I didnt know who to contact or where, but i just wanted to let someone know that the twitch stream has been paused on the same screen all weekend. https://www.twitch.tv/prokostream

I want to draw from life more than I have been. This thread is my attempt to jump-start the habit of daily life sketching. If anyone wants to join in, feel free. The only rule is that you have to draw (or paint) the world around you without using photo reference.

Hi Proko People! I'm Katey and I am the Community Manager at Proko. Since everyone seemed to love the art prompts in October, we are going to start posting a weekly art prompt for the community. Just like Proktober, this is a fun way to practice your skills and connect with your fellow artists, this is not a contest. In honor of the season, this week's prompt is: Draw Yourself As a Peanuts Character!

Sup, I’m a junior. unfortunately Self-taught as well as bored as hell in floridian wasteland (save me eric andre). I want to improve on everything including my consensus. I barely have any close friends i can talk to about my absolute love for art and story. I’m also deeply disappointed with everyone around me because they feel so lifeless in their love for their passion. dunno if im depressed tbh. I want a ticket out of this alligator wasteland. I dont care if its cali or new york but i want it to be something exciting. so bored even considered joining the army for some excitement

Create artworks, preferably oil-paintings (but any medium is allowed, particularly digital art is welcome), that depicts a scene at night. Some ideas include natural landscapes with the night sky, sky with the moon or any other urban or suburban composition at a night time. There's many different directions and themes one can go for, so definitely personalise your entry. Some moods that can be invoked include, for example, serenity, wonder or perhaps mystery. I will be creating some artworks inspired by this theme too, so I'll share them here, but of course they are there only for some reference and involvement. Prizes? I wish there was a way I could award at least a prize for the winner, but as is, there's no prizes. So this is more of a curating competition. Best of luck! Shared picture is a digitally stretched image (for various reasons this was the best I could do for getting a picture) of a work-in-progress oil-painting titled "Scenery by the Roadside at Dusk".

This is something of a combination of @Tiffanie Mang's landscape thumbnail challenge with some advice I got from Stan prior to the Draftsmen Plein Air painting episode. Something I've wanted to try to do is be able to capture sunset colours. I find that my camera always dulls and flattens the colours and I don't trust pictures on the internet because they look over edited. So my solution to attempt to practice this is to paint thumbnails during the sunset. Here are my attempts thus far done with watercolour paint and my pan set of gouache. Constructive criticism and advice is appreciated! Rules: - You have to paint the sunset thumbnails from life, not from photos. - I think it would be great if we could constructively critique each other's work before posting work. I feel like the community aspect here is kinda lacking and that's because I think the majority of us want to get advice from others, but few are willing to share it. So before posting your own thumbnails, critique the post before yours and then post your thumbnails.
