Pear Critiques are here! Critique for the portraits coming Thursday, but I recommend level 2 students watch this critique video too. I give advice and demonstrate things that should be useful to both levels.

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.

The first project of the Drawing Basics course is to challenge yourself to simplify the shapes, edges, and values of a pear or portrait from observation. I provide you two photo options over in the downloads tab. Being able to simplify is a very useful skill to be able to communicate clearly in your drawings.

It's finally here. The first part of the ultimate How to Draw HANDS tutorial!

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

In this lesson, we cover the concept of the picture plane—the flat surface where you create your drawing.

You'll simplify images into just 2 or 3 values. This will improve your ability to observe and interpret values in your drawings.

Learn how to create a plan projection step by step.

Let's see how you guys did applying gestural perspective to treehouses and other buildings!

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.

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.

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

Let's practice showing form using cross contour lines by drawing blobs, ginger, seals, lobsters, and other creatures.

Lean the two common ways to hold your pencil while drawing.

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.

It’s time to switch our brain over to think more three-dimensionally for the Depth and Form method. In this demo I'll show you how you can primarily use one method, but not be strict with it. So, I sprinkle some influence from the light direction method.

It’s time to simplify those snails and boots! I show you how I would do it in these step-by-step demos for the level 1 CSI project. Make sure to check back tomorrow for my level 2 demonstrations!

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 minor assignment, you will be challenged to limit your values so that you can control hierarchy in your compositions.

Learn how eye level and proximity affect perspective drawing with a model cathedral.

Alright level two-ers...Since you've already got some experience with sketching, I want to give you a bit more of a challenge to start practicing sketching from Imagination!

Drawing from a skeleton is a great way to learn Anatomy for Artists. In this video I will show you the benefits of using a skeleton as your model to practice drawing the spine.

Heya, my name's Zenith, nice to meet ya! I love the way this site looks already and I'm excited for what the future holds for it. Let's drop some of our art down in the replies and a little message introducing yourself if you want. Here are some of mine:

It’s time for some practice! Use the four step method we’ve learned to practice drawing some heads.

A brief introduction to the course, how it's structured, and where you can submit work.

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.

Organize values into connected shapes of oceans, lakes, and rivers to improve readability, add depth, and command attention.

Simplify complex forms into basic shapes to master drawing objects and environments from any angle.

Small boat warm and cool color study, exploring rich color variations through different pigment mixing ratios. In the afternoon at the pier, I often notice the warm light spots reflecting on the sea surface, bringing a sense of calm and comfort. After several walks and observations, I realized that the alternating cool and warm tones of the water, combined with the interplay of light, shadow, and subtle ripples, are incredibly captivating. I wanted to experiment with using pigments to capture this effect.

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 1 students.

I'm trying out the basics courses for the first time. What helps you remember to draw every day? And how does one make goals that are destruction-proof, that is immune to real-life stresses?

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.

As you develop your eyes to judge proportions, you won't need to measure as much. In this bonus measuring demo, I’m going to rely a little less on the measuring and more on just trusting my eyeballs.

Looking for an art friend to keep me motivated in this course. Just started the arts basics course, I've been drawing for a while but I'm trying to improve my skill so here i am. So, if anyone wants we could exchange discords and keep in touch:)

Let's take a look at your perspective grids, focusing on line direction and proportion. We'll covers common errors like reversed grids and distortion from wide-angle views, while stressing the value of estimating proportions through observation.

Before we get into learning about lines, I want to give you an exercise to help you warm up your hands and draw nice fluid lines. This warmup is a fun way to help you practice drawing ellipses.

A third demonstration where Marshall shows you how to simplify joints in perspective.

In this first example, Marshall Vandruff explains the joints of the foot and how to draw them as simple forms in perspective.

Let's review your value studies simplifying master paintings into 2 or 3 values with small thumbnail sketches. Many of you did a great job focusing on big shapes and grouping values correctly. Remember to squint at the reference to see the main shapes and avoid getting lost in details. It's important to think abstractly and not get caught up in drawing specific objects. This exercise helps you focus on composition and value, which are crucial skills. Next up, we'll look at your level two still life assignments.

The picture plane is like a window that helps solve perspective problems in drawing.

In this lesson, Stan explains the Value Scales Project.

My next course is now on presale! This course teaches you how to paint portraits with ease.

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

Finding the motion and simple volumes of the torso.

In this project, Ill show you some games you can play to improve your visual memory. A good visual memory will help you with drawing from imagination, speed, creativity, and observational skills.

I study sculptures before color portraits to focus on values and forms. I block in big shapes, refine details, and separate lights and darks.

Join Marshall and I as we catch up and discuss the current landscape of AI art, its ethics, and potential uses.

We've mapped basic proportions and now transition to understanding the side plane of the head. This step involves identifying four points: hairline, base of nose, temple, and back of skull, to define the temporal fossa. Drawing is about sculpting, so we cut and add to approximate the reference. This process helps in developing features like the ear, jaw, and cheekbone, and understanding the structure and rhythm of the face. We'll be diving deeper into each feature of the face later, but this will be a good roadmap for you to see how we'll be using the steps we've learned so far.

Today I want to teach you how I choose my colors.We will talk about both the Macro level, and the Micro level.

In this project, we'll practice measuring accurate proportions with a portrait. Using our measuring toolkit we'll break down the face into basic shapes, starting with the biggest shapes and working towards smaller details.

I experimented with different color variations, and I particularly enjoyed working with white lilies. I found that if you want the flower to have a softer effect, the contrast in brightness should be kept minimal.

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.

Alright, it’s time to start practicing your cylinders! For this project, we’re going to draw wheels on vehicles from various angles.

Learn how to draw objects that don't touch the picture plane, whether they're placed behind or in front of it.

I got a ton of great submissions for the 4 Step Method project! In this critique, I’ll review some of the more common mistakes, which include jaw length, brow line placement, and neck connections.

Here’s a project to help you avoid chicken scratch. We’re going to simplify our drawings to C curves, S curves, and straight lines.

After reading Lesson 02, Complete Minor Assignment 02 to understand key principles in value.

So, you might be thinking that.. a line is just a line. Right? NO! IT’S NOT JUST A LINE...it's so much more than that!

It's time for the week 1 assignment. I'll show you what we're gonna be doing and then it’s your turn to give it a try.

I’m wanting to improve on this and be able to blend it better.

In this lesson we’ll take a look at the two that make up the torso.

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.

Watch this drawing demo to learn how to construct torso anatomy and shade it. It'll also show you what you can accomplish if you stick with learning to draw anatomy.

Time for a portrait drawing demo! I'll show you how to approach a drawing to get accurate proportions and then check your own accuracy in Procreate.

Join me for a LIVE drawing basics demo! I'll be simplifying and stylizing animal portraits with simple shapes.

If you've ever struggled to draw female figures from imagination this course is for you! For a limited time you can get it 20% off during the presale.

This lesson guides you through two methods for drawing one-point letters: precise illustration using a ruler and rapid freehand sketches.

This week, you will be working on one of the Major Assignments.

Line quality plays a crucial role in our drawings. And if you keep practicing those bad habits, they're gonna get even stronger and harder to shake. But don't worry, in this lesson, I'll show you 6 habits to get you on the path to good line quality.

In this final hand sculpting demo, we'll focus on adding wrinkles and veins to our hand sculpture. Using small coils of clay to create veins, varying their width and blending them into the surface for a natural look.

Now it’s time for your first assignment which will summarize everything we’ve covered so far about shapes, rendering, and values.

Learn how to handle extreme foreshortening and difficult poses with techniques like shortening lines, using asymmetry, and maintaining rhythm.

After a little break from art study, I've been doing daily gesture figure drawings the last few days to get back to basics. I'm trying to overcome my tendency to be overly sketchy and messy by focusing on clean, deliberate lines, trying to follow the example of Stan in the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course. To that end, I've been doing only 30-second gesture drawings the last few days. It's challenging to be clean and identify the gesture at this time control, but it's the medicine I need. I feel a little better about today, but I still fell into old habits here and there. Feel free to join in with your own daily gesture drawings, whether of figures, heads, hands or even other objects.

Learn some basic comic pencil techniques from Ryan Benjamin! Discover tips on planning pages, line quality, primitive shapes, gesture, heads, and more.

It's time for the level 2 project. Using the same cast drawing from level 1, I'll refine the drawing by adding values and adjusting edges.

In this lesson I show you how to practice drawing the Forearm.

In this lesson I show you how to practice drawing the Forearm.

Learn how to draw a twisting and bending arrow in perspective by tracking movement around the X, Y, and Z axes using blocks, ellipses, and curved cross-contours.

10C: Major Assignment 2

Hello, this is my newest digital painting art. I would love to get some critiques and what I should work on more, thanks!

The Zolly App challenge is live! Test your perspective and speed drawing skills with this quick challenge. Submission deadline is July 6th.

I've been wanting to put some more time into painting with gouache lately so I'm starting a study thread, feel free to join in! Here are two pieces from this weekend's attempts. The first is a Dean Cornwell study done along with a livestream from Jeff Watts. Clear reference was tough to find, so I just went along with the process I saw Jeff work though in the video. I spent about 3 hours on the Cornwell study and then applied the same process to an original sketch I did of Norman Rockwell from a black and white photo, which also took about 3 hours. Still getting the hang of organizing values on the palette, I feel like my palette gets crazy and disorganized quickly, so by the end of the Rockwell piece I was hunting and mixing a lot more to get back to the appropriate values. I'd love any feedback, suggestions, notes or revelations you've had during your own gouache adventures!
