added comment inPainting the Head with Confidence: A Portrait Artist’s Toolkit
Anyone else has problem, that videos "Eyes Part 1" + "Mouth Part 2" don't work at all?
Don't even come to the video/download section. The link just doesn't open the page.
Other parts function. And I never had that kinda problem with any other course on the Proko. Still I can open any of my courses / any video-lesson. So it must be a systemic problem with this 2 videos.
My browser is updated. I use Opera, instead of Chrome. I know, that some sites on the web, work better with Chrome - but in THIS case... all my other Proko courses work perfectly on Opera.
So, does anyone else got a similar problem with the two vidoe-links?

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

The lessons aren't setup like the ones you showed above. They teach fundamentals not just the figure or portraiture. If you want help with that then you should check out Stan's Figure Fundamental course and our Head construction course taught by Michael Hampton.

When is the course going to end approximately? :D

Part 1 we expect to be done by November. Part 2 is a bit harder to give an accurate date because we've still been focused too heavily on part 1. I can say production will have to have a bit of a break between the two parts so we can finish editing and build a backlog for a consistent release.

In the course I see that the teacher explains well how to draw individual objects in 3D, but will there be detailed demonstrations on how to build an entire scene in perspective? At the moment, everything is very fragmented in my head and I would like to have an idea of ​​how to put it all together.

We've got some demos from Phil Dimitriadis that will be in lesson group 11 that will focus on this. We expect those will be released around mid to late August.
The 2nd part hasn't been released yet. When the first part wraps up, you'll start to see lessons show up for part 2
Thanks for letting us know! We're working on getting it fixed.

Yes, all lesson content is released!
Hey Krystian, good to hear you're jumping into the Drawing Basics course. You're right, the course works for digital, but it doesn’t go deep into setting up digital tools. There are just too many programs, each with different settings and quirks. If you’re working digitally, check out some of the early lessons in the Digital Painting Fundamentals course.
Here’s a free lesson that covers some basic Photoshop settings - https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/intro-to-digital-painting/comments
If you're looking for photoshop brushes I would recommend starting with the free ones from Kyle's set that comes with program or you can upgrade Lane Brown's Photoshop or Procreate pack (depending on which program you use). By the way, Stan's favorite from Lane's master photoshop pack is the Orbik pencil.
Hope this helps :)
This is exactly the information I was looking for, thank you for sharing this free lesson it is very useful for my current job. https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/intro-to-digital-painting/comments https://driftbossgame.io
Thanks for your response! I really appreciate the recommendations, but I think I may not have worded my original post clearly.
I wasn’t necessarily looking for a deep dive into digital tools or software settings, but rather some guidance on how to best translate the course to a digital world. For example:
- Can I use Undo?
- Is it okay to zoom in/out, or should I stick to a fixed view?
- Should I keep my brush size/opacity constant?
- Can I rotate the canvas?
- What qualities should I look for in a brush for particular exercises? (For example, a non-tapering brush wouldn’t be suitable for practicing line weight.)
- How should I set up my canvas and other settings that are similar across most programs?
I’m sure there are more common pitfalls and tips for beginners working digitally. These kinds of questions come up sometimes, and while I get that software varies, some basic recommendations or best practices would be really helpful.
