Mr T and Mrs V will always stay in my subconscious mind, and the overhand grip was really a turning point, it felt so weird at the beginning but slowly getting better using it when I find my self going back to the writing grip, I instantly correct myself. Thank you Patrick for putting up this amazing course. You teach the way I have always wanted to be taught. Hopefully when I get more money I get to buy and learn from your other courses. love from Nigeria.

I went a little overboard on some of the surrounding elements but wanted to have some level of narrative to give me direction. My idea was to portray a yokai (or Japanese demon) who prayed upon men and stole their soul. The specific one I went for was Hinoenma who in some images wears a veil. There's a lot of little things I'd want to change but after a couple of starts I feel like things generally improved. I still think the head looks off and for whatever reason in picture form it reads as too big and too forward. I also felt like I played it too safe and stiff in a lot of parts, especially when I felt I wanted it to look its 'best' so I stopped taking chances and experimented less. I included various studies to help inform where I got to.

I got my strathmore and I feel I am improving. So yes, there is a huge difference between smooth newsprint and „smooth“ newsprint. I feel like they look better in real than on the photo. On the photo I feel I am going too hard on the edges.

Coming back here to show some progress since last time. I have continued with Patrick’s teachings and replayed a lot of this videos and went to his other courses. I find it very helpful to warm up by watching his videos and then trying to implement it in my own work. This is a piece I have done by using a online model reference. Any feedback is greatly appreciated

So, wowza, really enjoyed the course and tried to draw along as much as possible. I just finished Stan's Anatomy course and wanted to put my new knowledge to work with a medium I havent used before: Charcoal on newsprint. I really struggled in the beginning. I have the feeling that your lines are so much smoother (softer edges) but also that you really can make them thin with hard edges whenever you need. I didn‘t have that edge control. Although I compared in the videos how your pencil tip looked and it was pretty the same as mine. I used the Conte a Paris HB and a no name smooth newsprint because the strathmore newsprint took forever to be delivered. It will arrive in end of May and I will try again if it was the paper that made my edge control so bad. Maybe you can go even more into depth regarding the grip of the pencil and how you achieve such a great edge control. Weirdly enough, at the end I always struggled with what seemed to be little grains in the pencil that stopped me from having a smooth flow on the paper. At some point it happened so often, that I wanted to pull out my hair out of desperation. Anyways, I did more than the drawings here, but the upload is limited to 20 photos, and I had more than thirty. My best ones are the last ones. Happy for any kind of insights. Your work is really stunning. I will go back to do many lines many times :).

Can't thank Patrick enough for sharing his knowledge in this course. I used reference from the Draw This figure drawing livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up8A2wmdFzU&t=4766s

This one is from Potion 6. I wanted to try to push myself a bit and decided to use Patrick's painting as a reference for a study while thinking about understanding the shapes and getting to that point between what we know and what we see, hope I did some justice to it. Thank you again Patrick :)

2024/12/17. Good afternoon everybody. Here's my last fantasy character drawing for this year (Lyra Rembrandt-Polycolor True Blue on Holbein drawing paper 50 x 65 cm). Thanks for any comment or critique.

My attempt at a female djinn after working through some of the portrait videos!

"Drawing like a Demon" - Patrick this course is fantastic, learning the gestural hand is giving me more and more confidence in my art each day. Slán!

Still have a half way to go through, so this is my spell of as many potions that I grasped at the moment 🤗 Absolutely loving the course!🔥💯

Thanks for all the assignments submitted, they look great!. Looking forward to the live stream!

51 year old Apprentice wizard here. I have completed the wizard course and fantasy female course and several from Patrick's website. I can't even put into words how happy I am to have found Proko and Patrick. It has change my world. I started the drawing course in May and found Patrick a few months ago. I can't believe what I have learned from Stan and Patrick. They are the best teachers I have ever had. I know my drawings aren't perfect and I have a long way to go, but I am only doing this for the love of creating art and have no plan to do it professionally. The first picture is what I just finished from the anatomy course with Stan, but I posted it because everything I learned from Patrick truly helped me created this drawing. I think it makes it even more special learning from them because they are truly wonderful humans and we really seem to have a shortage of that in the world these days. I will be joining Patrick's Anatomy Of Style Auditorium after my work Christmas bonus comes. I will also start oil painting and already have Proko course and course from Patrick to begin the journey. I send the greatest thanks possible to both Patrick and Stan. So thankful for both of you. -Mark Miles

2024/11/13. Good evening everybody. This is another fantasy character I drew this week (Lyra Rembrandt-Polycolor indian red on Hollbein drawing paper, 50 x 65 cm). Thanks for any comment or critique!

Not sure if I’m at wizards level yet since I’m not even at half of the course but I definitely know that I learned a ton of stuff. Really enjoy drawing the figure by using the techniques and materials of Patrick. The way the charcoal flows on the newsprint is beyond satisfying. here is the progress I made since the course started. Feels good! Some figures from imagination, a few streams of consciousness and some draw alongs with PJ 🤠

2024/11/10. Good Morning Patrick, good morning everybody. I'd like to share the second bundle of drawings I made from Patrick "The Anatomy of Style 2". Drawing Patrick artworks is always a wonderful experience!! Thanks.

2024/11/10. Hi Patrick!! Thanks for the amazing lessons. Here's my latest fantasy character concept. Thanks for any feedback or critique!

Thanks for all the awesome lessons Patrick!

Here are some of the ones from the course on my first run of it, I say that because I know I will be back to revise this course. Thanks again Patrick!
