About instructor
Founder of Proko, artist and teacher of drawing, painting, and anatomy. I try to make my lessons fun and ultra packed with information.
Level 1
Using the well-lit photos of arms provided in the downloads section, start with a linear lay-in and then map the core shadows, cast shadows, and contours. Focus on using the proper edge types to make the form feel three-dimensional without any tonal shading.
Level 2
You're going to do the same thing, except the photos I provided you are flat lit. They don't have an obvious separation of light and dark. So, your job is to invent a light source and imagine the edge of that shadow. Make sure you use the right edge. Softer on large round forms, firmer on those thin tendons and bones, and sharp on cast shadows.
