Here is one of the major drawings I made last year. I'm a newcomer and this is my first official post on this platform, but I don't know where I should improve from here. So some critique would be helpful for more artworks moving forward :)
This was a school Halloween project based on the theme: "Headless Horseman"

Hi everyone, my name is Orshee and I am a Transylvanian (Europe) based children's illustrator. My degree has nothing to do with drawing. It started as a passion in my childhood, and today I make my living out of it. I got pretty confused about who I am and where I stand as an illustrator, and also, I have a huge thirst for improving my skills, so here I am. I am looking forward to improving my skills and getting to know you all!

Hello! My name is Josiah. I'm a marketing & design professional, but I've always had the secret desire to be an illustrator. For me, art has always been one of the ways to bring my imagination to life - to take something from my head and communicate it outside. Most recently I have been trying to improve my understanding of anatomy, starting with the head and face.

Hi everyone! My name is Katti. I am a tattoo artist by day. I love helping people feel more comfortable being themselves. I included some of my recent tattoo work and my favorite sketches from my sketch book. Drawing has always been my favorite coping mechanism. I’ve followed Proko for a while, I’m so excited to learn from everyone here!

Hey Everyone! I am something but most people associate me as human and call me Garrett! Creativity is the way! Inspiration, aspirations, inventions and imagination! The keys to unlocking the the unlimited perspectives of our minds. Leading and designing a materialist world with the dreams of how the future will be!
PS: I want all feedback on ways and techniques to practice to be better and to learn from everyone. Everyone has something to learn from.

Hey Garrett, I really dig your ink drawing there. Just let me know what stuff you want feedback on and I'll try my best to help you level up your skills in any way I can.

Hello. My name is Lee. I am an illustrator from south west uk. I recently gained a degree in Drawing from Falmouth University. I love urban sketching, drawing dinosaurs, human and animal anatomy and drawing from imagination. I use drawing as a tool to learn about the world around me, which in turn helps me visualise strange ideas I have. Here is a little bit of my work. It's fairly varied as I find it very difficult (and limiting) to stick to one thing. Looking forward to becoming a part of this community.

Cool drawings Lee. I really enjoy your drawings on the brown paper. It's such a nice way to think more actively on light. Keep up the good work.

Hi, I'm Yoon! I'm a tattoo apprentice.
In the drawing department I'm mostly self-taught, with loads of help from channels like prokotv and sinix on Youtube.
I joined to participate in Proktober 2021, and also to see what other gems the community's hiding outside of Youtube! ;)
Here's some of my more recent stuff, there's more on my IG

Hey everyone. My name is Thomas and I'm really looking forward to be part of an art community.

Hi 👋 My name is Emily. I like to draw and paint with watercolour. I like to tru and draw a mix of cartoon and more realistic stuff. My stuff still needs a lot of work. I've been struggling a lot with motivation so I'm hoping to be able to get stuck into the community and find my mojo again! Here's some of my better stuff 😅

Hi ✌😁 there Emily . so real quick this reply that i am about to send to you is a copy of a reply that i sent to some one else that had just joined Proko i saw you're post and i thought that this would help everything that i stated in this post applies to any new comer artist so with that out of the way .
my name. is JDN short for Jadon. so i just went through all of you're work to
get a better understanding of you're art as a hole and to see where i can offer any of my knowledge .
see ive seen you're art but i have to get a even better understanding of it myself that is or at least that's the way i see it anyway.
with that said. i can see a lot of good progress as it is . that you have made compared to just making marks. from the point to where any artist will always begin at
now as i said before i do want to re look over all of the art that you have posted so that i can get a better understanding of what you have best as it stands . and what needs a larger amount of work before you get better . you know what im saying ? 😄
ok . so my stock advice is from what i gathered is 1st to observe. which means look around you think watch the best of the best and realize that they were where you are right now in some way shape or form and use
that to your advantage . and some times try to get a understanding of they way they see what it is that they see . and try to practice a bit of it here and there to see how far you can get.
. 2st to practice which means repetition over and over again. and i feel that even though it looks horrible most of the time. 😄 i cant believe im saying this but its totally worth saving every bit of it even if you think that it looks like trash and nothing else its worth it because later when you get burn out from all this work.
its when and only when you look at you're own art work that you see how far you have really come trust me
if you take anything away from this at all SAVE ALL OF YOU'RE ART please and thank you . you will not believe it when you it latter on 👌😉
3d never let anything make you think that you're art is just bad its not even when you know that you could have done better. but you didn't even though it seems like you failed .
let me reassure you that just because you slip up once in awhile . it dose not mean you are done. its just apart of learning .
you must fall first in order to be able to get back up again right ? . the only way you get better at any skill such as art is to make mistakes . art is a skill not a talent remember that.
4th you are who you are so dont think that you have to change who you are at the core just to get better.
its not hard to think that you are the problem when you are told that you're art is ok or that it could be better.
you make the art that you make not because its a part of you but you make the art that you make as a representation of you're personal perspective . and you're self maybe a thought that you had. a image a story a emotion a dream anything.
the thing is that its how you see it. that's what makes everybody's art unique in its own way at the end of the day.. which adds value to you're art work as a hole no matter what .
and 5th . being me telling you . that i am not the best artist ever and i might never be i am not the smartest person ever . but with all of that said . i dont need to be . to know these things and neither do you.
nor anybody else. and being an artist means never ending learning and expanding upon what you already know.
all artists are always learning new things rather if its things like learning a new short cut new ways of creating there art or just new ideas in general even the best of the best we are all stuck for ever in this loop of learning with everything witch i think is kind of funny 😂 we are all students.
so just remember that its ok if you dont learn as fast as others we all have our own flow in witch we do our thing . and that's my advice to you or to anybody that is curious.
i hope that this helps please let me know when you get the chance if you did or what you're thoughts are i love to see what others have to say always . i hope that this helps and . god bless and take care ✌😉

Hi. I'm hoping this is where I say hi to everyone. :o I'm rather hopeless with figuring how to and where on sites like this so... anyways. I draw mainly, and with that I mean all the time, digitally. Right now I'm trying to improve on my portrait drawing skills. From techniques to the all inclusive anatomy, coloring, shading etc. Guess that means I'm pretty much an omnivore when it comes to learning. :D But enough about that. Here a few of my latest drawings.

Hi everybody! I was eagerly waiting for this Website. Unfortunately it took me a long time to be motivated :/ Recently I started reading the Saga of Elric of Melnibone and reading it has inspired me a lot. Here are a few of my latest Paintings.

@Emily It is definitley a sord and sorcery classic! If you know and like the Gerald of Rivia books you will love it. Sapkofski was heavily "inspired" by them!

Hey everybody! I’m Hank, I’m from Massachusetts, and I started drawing about three years ago. Until recently, I had a casual daily practice of creating art, but for the past month I’ve been trying to buckle down and get good. I’m looking forward to getting to know some of you rad art folks!

Hey! My name is Lucas Carvalho. I'm a casual artist looking to learn about drawing, inking and maybe starting on painting.
I'm still figuring out this site/platform. Anyway, here's a quick inking I just did.

Hi everyone, my name's Pem and I'm based in England. I'm into what seems to be everything... but currently focussing on storytelling, illustration and a little painting on the side. Looking forward to getting stuck into the community and hopefully improve my skills whilst making some new art friends along the way :)
Here are a few recent pieces from the last 2 to 3 years:

Hey everyone! My name's Abner, and I love to design around creatures and environments. As of recent, I've been spending 2021 working with digital art and focusing a lot on human anatomy and facial expressions to give more life into my drawings. (The last one was a piece from 2019.)
It's nice to meet everyone. :)
