My boots assignment. Any feedback and/or critique would be well appreciated of course.
Thank you, Stan, I am yet to buy materials for this. In the meantime I am continuing drawing.
Very good start, great pear shape. You can work on improving the darkest shadow outline (on the pear) and rounding the bottom shadows more
The first one is my attempt and the second is alongside the video. Would love feedback!! :)
what am i doing wrong?? i’ve tried everything ive watched so many videos ive practiced so many times but its so so wrong
Could you be a bit more specific as to what you think is wrong with the drawing? And did you do this from reference or imagination?
If from ref, what's the original?
Sad that I can't pay for this lesson.. But these free lessons are enough.. Huge thanks from me, Stan Prokopenko.
Hello,
About the lessons in general: just wondering if there's a way to get direct feedback from the instructor(s) during a course, for example on specific assignments, or are we - the students - on our own here?
i don't think there is any way that i know about, but you can get feedback from others, like me!
Hi! I love drawing since forever but I want to improve my skills and be more professional in my artwork. I started to use Procreate with my Apple Pencil and want to continue to work with it in the future. Is this course for me? Is it useful for someone who is using Procreate?
Hi - is it worth getting more than just a pencil and paper? I see in the FAQ it will go over some over other tools, but how much of that is in the course?
I'm more then half way through and so far you seriously need just pencil or pen and paper just some computer paper is fine too.
Hey, I'm wondering: Is this 'Draw Basics' course truly suitable for absolute beginners, and what core drawing fundamentals will it teach?
Yes. The problem you might have if you've never taken a drawing course before is not understanding how much wisdom and experience is being conveyed here. I've taken numerous classes in Junior High, High School and some college, and I'm still...what...intermediate beginner? And there are lessons here that were never explained to me this clearly in all of those other classes.
I don't think there is a simpler way to start other than just start drawing. The absolute simplest way, no BS, is simply _draw a lot_. You will get better. Try to reproduce art you see, and figure out why yours doesn't look right. That's the absolute simplest way to learn to draw.
The next step up is...THIS course. It will start codifying things that you didn't really know to even ask about or practice. But it will help direct your practice. You will see things you didn't see before. Your initial stuff will look crappy. Stan is pretty up front about that, because, you need to draw a LOT to get better. So, draw a lot and you will get better. This course will help you get better faster.
Yes. its literally basics as simplified as they can be at the beginning of a chapter and then building upon them as you progress the chapter. The fundamentals are the chapter titles lines, shapes, perspective and so on.
It was quite a time commitment, but took me to a whole new level.
I am an absolute beginner myself, having started drawing maybe two weeks before beginning the course. In my opinion, no, this is not really suitable for people like myself. My guess is that it is good for people who have been drawing for a long time but have not taken a class before. I've gotten into the shapes portion of the course, and at this point half of the exercises seems reasonable for my skill level, while others are absurd. They assume I can draw a portrait, for example, without that being taught within the course.
All that said, I have not discovered the good way to start from zero, so I will not discourage you from trying the course. They say you can refund it within 30 days, so you may want to give it a try with that in mind.
Hi I signed up for this Drawing Basics course last year June, but have not been able to find time to do the lessons due to my work commitments. 9days ago, I received a "finishing the Drawing Basics " message. Will the lessons already recorded still be available?

Yes, the course will still be available! The final lesson was just released, so all of the course content is now ready and available for you whenever you're able to start!
Man...well I thought I found a schedule that worked for me to get back into this course but I ran into another road block. As a Cartoonist and professional illustrator I have CONSTANT deadlines. I work on multiple comics a month as well as commercial illustration. I know I need this class to improve, though ofc I'm aware I am improving just from making comics and teaching. I started this course as it was coming out until I reached the proportions lesson which became an hr plus project and then I dropped the ball and couldn't get it rolling again. I've restarted this course multiple times. Most recently I thought I found a schedule that worked but once I started working on level 2 of lesson 1 it became an multiple hr process and I haven't been able to pick the class up again because deadline after deadline after deadline. I'm not giving up but I thought a good way to get back to it would be to admit my faults and perhaps someone else might be going through the same thing. KEEP MAKING GREAT ART
I just begin the courses, so if someone who have finished this can try to check for my work.
