SOOOOOOOOO Good!!!!!!!!!!!
LESSON NOTES

Join Devin Elle Kurtz for day 2 of the 12 Days of Proko!

Devin Elle Kurtz mixes fantasy with reality in her art by spending time filling sketchbooks with studies of elements she later uses in her paintings. Her sketchbooks are her practice space, where she studies a wide range of objects (houseplants, chairs, reptiles, and hands) often using references from Pinterest or Instagram. She works in pen to embrace mistakes, treating them as chances to learn and improve. By building a strong visual library, she gives objects personality, making them part of the story and strengthening their connection to her characters. This process helps her draw from imagination with confidence and ease. 

Make sure to check back tomorrow for a new sketch tour!

Check out the 12 Days of Proko schedule and challenge details!

My sketchbooks are my practice space, where I study a wide range of objects—houseplants, chairs, reptiles, and hands—often using references from Pinterest or Instagram.
