A little pep talk for those of you who recently started your journey. When you were a baby, you learned how to talk by listening and repeating words, and you can learn how to draw the same way. Drawing is a way to communicate with pictures instead of words. I talk about training your mind and your hand with the right exercises and projects and how you can learn faster with the right mindset.

Stan has said elsewhere that digital is fine, but learning traditional as well has benefits.

I"m an 8th grader and just started and want to start drawing I watched this video called "Are you bad at drawing? Dont be." It inspired me to start my path to becoming an artist and in that video he recommended Stan Proko, so here I am!

Hello! Just want to start to learn how to draw from zero. I have bought the beginner course bundle. Can I do the courses with my iPad and Procreate or real pencil + paper is a must? Thank you!

I gained drawing and ceramic art techniques in China Academy of Art for my undergraduate studies, top-tier art academy in China, but what I was trained is in China's approach which was developed from Russia. Now I would like to study the drawing basics again through the authentic Western approach. I post some of my drawings here. Any critiques are welcome!

Your driving is at an advanced level, at least. Please explain why you would like to start a BASIC course.

Looks like I'm behind the curve with my start date, by quite some time! For the sake of participating anyway, here's my starting point - not sure what it's meant to be, put pencil to paper before I thought anything through. Coffee, finger guns, cat-robot with elephant legs.

I was a little nervous taking this study on, but I like how it came out! I need work on perspective for the back half of the avocado, but I’m happy with how this came out. Feedback welcomed.

I like to draw cartoony characters. But I want to learn the fundamentals the right way, that's why I'm joining this course. I also want to have more fun with the proces and not focus too hard on the end result... I already like the way Stan teaches. :-) Looking forward to the first drawing lessons. Here is a sketch I made yesterday evening. :-P
