Hey, do you like free stuff? Well we are super excited to introduce you to the Proko Course Sampler! We’ve selected lessons from some of our most popular premium courses and uploaded them here for free so that you can see what all the buzz is about. We always encourage artists to learn and explore new avenues, so we've decided to include lessons from the following courses:

These courses span across a variety of mediums including digital painting, graphite pencil, and clay sculpture. You’ll be able to watch lessons, demos, and assignment examples that will show you what it is like to learn from a premium Proko course. The instructors all have years of professional experience, a passion for their subjects, and a love for art, just like you! Whether you’re eyeing a specific course or looking for a brand new medium to explore, we’ve got you covered here. 

To access this course you will need to add it to your cart like any other premium course and then check out with an email. Even though you’re adding it to a cart, this course is still 100% free! Doing this will create a Proko account with your email. The benefits of a Proko account (which is also free to have) is that you can save your place, track your progress, and gain access to the Proko community!
