Learn Figure Drawing in an approachable and entertaining way.
Could I follow this course by drawing on my iPad (using procreate) or is it preferred if I use traditional tools? (which wouldn’t be an issue for me)
Really enjoying this course! Never paid for drawing lessons before but this has been tremendous in my artistic growth. Thank you Stan!

You probably want to check out the Drawing Basics course (https://www.proko.com/course/drawing-basics). That will help you with drawing good shapes, lines, and shading that you will need to start drawing good figures.
A big inspiration for me is Karl Kopinski and I want to reach his level of figure drawing (I’m a beginner) I’m more comfortable with heads but I’m scared of the body. Is this a good course for beginners in figure drawing?
I think that learning gesture is good for beginners, but deeper stuff like making mannequin poses may be more difficult for you. I’d suggest watching some of the free videos to see how comfortable you are
is this course is for beginners like i know perspective and other basics but don't even know the "h" of human drawing . should i learn other things befour starting this cource or this one will explain me the basics

Have you take the drawing basics course yet? If you're a beginner I would focus on that course first and then move onto this one - https://www.proko.com/course/drawing-basics
Is this course for absolute beginners or should I start with another course? Thank you.
Well depends and what your goals are! If you are an Absolute Beginner than I recommend taking the beginning drawing course by Stanley Prokopenko.
Is this a scheduled course? I noticed that the Drawing basics course was a label telling you you could work at your own pace, but I don't see that label here.
General question: How do we know when we've gotten confident enough in one section to move onto the next? I feel I'm starting to get the hang of gesture and the bean, but I don't want to build off of that before they're second-nature... or should I Just be powering forward, and continuing to practice fundamentals on the side as I go? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

You're the best judge, but I would say when you can get consistent results. You don't need to master a topic before moving on but you definitely want to have a good grasp on the concepts and be able to execute them. Occasionally you might get stuck on something and find that leaving it for a while and returning to it later triggers a breakthrough. Follow what feels right to you!
I have come to really love and enjoy gesture a lot that's it's almost all I want to do every day! I was feeling pretty comfortable with my natural gestures lately and I wanted to try doing it in different ways. I found someone else's gesture works and I LOVED how they looked, so I've been trying to emulate their style as I work on them.
Usually I do figures like this in about a minute, but I give myself 2 for style studies so I can take it a bit slower and observe the model and the reference and ponder a moment on how the other artist is thinking. I hope to incorporate a lot of this into my own.
There's another gorgeous gesture artist I've seen that uses a lot of shadow to define the shapes and barely any contour at all, absolutely stunning work, I wish I could find the originals I saw, but I had only seen them as an example in a video that I don't remember.
Hey Stan, i wanna ask if is it okay to have messy lines in my figure drawing cause you said that you need to get the flow of it and also i am having trouble exagerating my poses to make them expressive and it is a SERIOUS problem since i am practicing for MONTHS soooooo, can you help i appreciate it.
Have you done thousands of practices or did you start a lot of months ago? Think of it more in volume than time. And in my humble opinion its perfectly fine to have messy lines. Eventually you'll focus on landing the mark with fewer lines.
Hi do we need to do drawbox to get theough the mannequinization part of this course

Drawabox might help, but I wouldn't say it's required.
Not sure if this is the right place for questions, but does purchasing this course come with assignment reviews? I saw a video review that said that you must complete assignments and then reviewers will let you know if you are ready for the next assignment.

The critiques for this course have already been filmed and released. Stan may occasionally give a student a critique in this course, but there are not guaranteed critiques.
Would be nice to have a 3D model of the robo bean, just saying :p

If you have the skelly app installed you can mess with a "robo skelly" that you can play around with.
My initial foray into landmarks following Stan. I am aware that my angles, proportions and shapes are areas I need to work on (in addition to line quality)
structure work. I struggled to grasp the core concepts and what was required. Needed to go outside the course and learn a bit about perspective.
