Mentors

I feel like something that could be added is a mentor or coaching addition to proko. one of the best things about art school is the guidance you get from a teacher you know for years. Having a mentor is so valuable. I feel like when going through a older lesson I sometimes have a hard time talking to peers or instructors for feedback. not always but sometimes. It could be nice to have an addition to proko where you can pay for mentor/coaching sessions. These could be more personal to the artist and allow the ability to cultivate a professional relationship that can help guide artists in more personalized goals and struggles. A weird comparison but I have seen this done a lot with competitive gaming. They often have websites like proko where they offer video lessons. But they have a section devoted to coaches, usually using a token system, you can buy and schedule sessions with a coach. The coach would watch your game and identify things to improve and create a plan. It really seems like something like that could benefit proko and the learning artist. Having a mentor see your art, create personalized training plans, critique, or even advice in the realm of art business. Its a proven to work business model and I can really see it complementing the proko website.

This is a cool idea! I can't speak on whether this will be something done here, but in the meantime, please don't be afraid to reach out to a community critiquer and tag us, even on an older lesson. We can give critique and advice, although maybe not on as personal a level as a mentorship. But who knows what the future holds!
