It’s here! The Draw Basics course is now available. A true beginners course aimed at teaching you core drawing fundamentals.

Critiques of students’ drawings based on the Bean lesson.

It’s time to inherit some power from the masters! In this project, we’re continuing to improve your line quality by choosing a master drawing that excites you and studying the artist's use of lines.

Now that you know about the tapered stroke and simple CSI lines, it's time to learn how to sketch! Here's your next project.

For this project, we're going to design our line quality to be more interesting by practicing organizing the line weight.

If you struggle imagining boxes and drawing the angles correctly, it might help you to start with a blob! Here's a project that will help you improve your visualization skills, making it easier to draw forms in perspective.

In this project, we’ll continue working on improving our shape design by applying the concepts we learned from the last lesson. You’ll be working on identifying the gesture of your subject and then designing dynamic and interesting shapes that support that gesture.

Make your figure drawings feel balanced!

Hello Everyone, I finished this drawing last month (February). I'm applying what I know about anatomy so far to figure drawing. I finished going through the anatomy course (the free version on YouTube) last year. My focus on this drawing was on anatomy, composition, and rendering. You can pick any of those areas to critique, depending on where you feel most comfortable. And if you feel like tackling all three, it's okay. Any feedback is appreciated. And please forgive the quality of the photos. I don't have access to a good camera. I used different phone cameras hoping to get a good photo. One of the photos is sharper but missed some details; while the other one captured more details but isn't very sharp. I hope what you find missing in one photo can be discovered in the other. In a nutshell, I will appreciate a critique about anatomy, composition, or rendering on this drawing. Thank you in advance

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.

In this video I show you the proper way to practice drawing the hand bones.

Now that you’ve all had some time to try the first project on your own, you can watch how I do it and figure out what areas you are exceeding and struggling with. Here is my step-by-step demo on how to properly execute the first project for level 2 students.

I wanted to start doing some rhythm drawings in my spare time. I want to start to get better at quick sketching and I would like some tips to improve. Any help would be appreciated.

In this demo, I show the "hierarchy of importance" method for organizing line weight. Check back next week for my demos on the “shadow and light direction” method and the level 2 project!

Let's take a look at your "Simplify to CSI" submissions! I decided to combine both level 1 & 2 students for this critique since I saw very similar mistakes at both levels.

Marshall Vandruff joins Stan Prokopenko to critique student gesture drawings.

It’s time for level 2 critiques…portraits! I’ll be looking through your portrait submissions and giving advice and tips on how to improve on common mistakes.

Level 1 demos are done and it's time to move on to level 2! In this lesson, I show you how I would approach the level 2 CSI project.

Ryan Benjamin reveals his approach to designing a dynamic new Asgardian character, emphasizing quick sketches, detailed facial expressions, and the significance of continuous practice and networking in the comic industry.

Alright guys, this is going to be a fun one! In this project, we’ll be constructing animal portraits using basic shapes.
