Hello,
I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I can't seem to play the video. It loads as "completed" with the blue check with no playback option. Thanks for all that you do!

Hey everyone sorry the video didn't load. We just fixed it and it should be available now. Thanks for your patience.

Sorry about that! It should load now

Thanks Proko!! Is there also a way a feature of searching for specific people in the comment section is possible. Using Ctrl+F doesn't find it because the comments are loaded dynamically.
2mo
I would just keep scrolling down until all the comments for that lesson loads. Then you should be able to use CTRL+F to find someone. You could also go through your timeline.

I never draw for imagination because of fear to be not good or because I dont know how, and thanks to you little by little I am gain confident where in school they never gived to me thank you so much for your lessons, and I like to show my samurai panda xD. I hope that my colleagues are getting better little by little too and that they feel confident in giving more and more. Let's conquer our dreams together.

That's a cool design. I like the beetle inspired helmet.

Thanks for this @Stan Prokopenko. What would be your recommendation about drawings to attempt to those who are eager to start drawing from imagination without knowing all the concepts that folks from level 2 have? E.g basic faces, cartoon bodies, etc

Whatever you do, don't start with a kangaroo. I think everything else is fair game.

Andrew actually does some rock/marble carving so there's a chance we'd add a course like that in the future.

Wow I love that grinch sketch! Good job with sketching the hair on that one.

Sorry I know I am not part of this course but see last night the line video on YOUTUBE so, if can share my practice with brilliant talented students it will be great

Hey welcome to the community! We're glad to have you. You can still post even if you're not part of the premium course.

Overall release schedule for the course is looking like 18 months with new content coming out every week.

Hi everyone. I found this lately while digging around online resources and I though it was really helpful. A free public post from Stephen Bauman's patreon on how to take better photos of your drawings. I just wanted to share it with others taking this course as I found it very handy.

Nice, thanks for sharing!

Why doesn't this video show the check mark after viewing? @Proko Support It looks like I have only watched 79% of the course content.
3mo
I believe the system is setup so if a user watches over a certain percentage of the video the check mark will activate. We also allow users to manually check off videos if our system doesn't do it automatically.

Hope things got better, but good job capturing the feeling in this sketch.

A bit of a cheat because this pic was from last month, but I took a lego Marie Antoinette with me to Versailles. I thought I'd try to capture the essence of the out of focus background using quick, soft lines. I guess it kind of worked.

haha what a fun photo to draw from.

Day 1: Shaker bottle
In hindsight, I could have added a slight tilt to the bottles to add some dynamism. :o
Bella ciao!

Good job! I like the liquid you put in each one.

My day 2 of 14, I thought what would be a good subject to draw that I could see in front of me rather than on a screen. Reference is a little off because I took it after the drawing and couldn’t get the same angle on the photo.
4mo
You gave yourself a pretty difficult object to draw and I think you did a good job communicating what it is. The only thing I notice that's maybe a little off is the top right corner where it seems like headphones blend into the stand. Overall very solid though.

Day 01: cup of coffee. I really like lines and perspective 😁
4mo
I like this! The only thing I would maybe try doing next time is seeing if you can also make the liquid lines too.
4mo
Really not happy, but also I'm feeling crappy :) nonetheless practice is practice. Failed a bit with Instax case reference photo, was more frontal to me but still ellipses are off.
4mo
I think you did a great job with the chisel!

what do we do if a drawing takes over 30 minutes? I know we're not supposed to time ourselves but is there a function to the duration cap?
4mo
The goal of this exercise is to just develop a habit of sketching/drawing daily and not to perfect each drawing. If you want to spend more time on a particular drawing that's great!
Stan just wanted to emphasize a time frame that fits most people's schedules and to not stress out about timing yourself to complete any one drawing.

Just a question how often and when they will be critiques of what we are doing?
4mo
That's hard to say. There's going to be several projects throughout the course, but some sections may be longer than others and as a result may have a longer amount of time between critiques.
