A silicon hippie trying to make sense of the world by creating an animated show. By day I produce news in D.C., by night I practice anatomy.

I figured her out!!!! Still not quite sure where the rhythm is in her chest, but after a digital drawover, I found something workable :) As for the man, it's clearly time to watch the lessons on lats :D

Great selection of reference images, I can see that I should be more deliberate with my line work, there are a few overly worked moments, but this one image was actually driving me nuts! What's happening here?

This is a SUPER USEFUL exercise, I was just getting bored of my mushrooms. I've been working through Patrick Jones' Anatomy of Style class and I've been trying to get a better handle on a stick of chalk, so here's traditional. Plus a digital version as I try to get a better handle on the basic brushes in Blender for some 3D boards down the line.

Proko team (and fellow students), if you'd like to critique the pear with ink, here's an option. I see mistakes, but I'm sure you see more :)

When you can't decide on Level 1 or Level 2. I thought it might be fun to try it on gray paper. Everyone's work is inspiring! Happy to be learning with you all!

Anyone here from Marshall's Kley Inkmaster class? As much as I love the forgiving nature of graphite, I'm trying to be more proficient in ink to get more mileage out of my lines. This was a most excellent and really, really challenging evening. I sketched in blue pencil, found the shadow shapes, outlined the vegetable, and tried lines of varying density to convey the 5 shades. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit! Feedback is most welcome :) PS: the camera did crush my shadows a bit more than my observed shadows, and there was definitely a bounce light on that onion!

I've been diving into the head lately, so this was a great challenge. I tried sketching a few skulls and then placing features on top. Some of the expressions don't feel quite right, have I placed the eyes and mouth correctly? Maybe some of the original proportions are off too. Any feedback is most appreciated :), while I won't have time before the final deadline, I'm continuing my own studies into the upward and downward skulls.

Another reason to get this course: all these exercises are great when you're switching to a new medium!

Yay! I've been waiting for this for years! Buying now because I got the anatomy class so cheap many many years ago. Thanks for everything you do Stan and the Proko Team :)

I've moved on to two minutes, which I find a looot harder than 30 seconds. I can't seem to decide what to focus on – if I focus on getting more detailed I feel that I lose spontaneity and get stiff quickly. If I focus on looser "motion" I end up with a lot of time left and something that looks a bit worse than the 30 sec ones. Anyone got any tips? If any of you see any bad habits going on, please point it out so I can correct it moving on :) Thanks!

These look great!! There's definitely a sense of flow and deliberateness to the linework. A couple months ago, a mentor was doing some gesture sketches and I noticed that he was doing straight legs in one swoop, and then going back to create a form first for the sole of the foot, and then the calf, and then the inner thigh, but only if he had the time. Frequently, it was just a swoop and a foot, and it looked great! It was definitely a lightbulb moment for me. It might be worth trying the straight leg swoop? Anyway, I think you're doing great!! You got this!!

Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to participate in this challenge at the specified time. When I saw today that the time of the challenge is coming to an end, I said that I have to work on at least one storyboard page to play a role in this challenge. In the next challenge, however, I will do a complete job The desired text is in the storyboard.

Hi everyone! This is my submission for the Storytelling Challenge. It is a 7-page short story titled, "APE." I am planning on lettering it, but for now I wanted to submit it without any words since this challenge is about storytelling using art. Each page is done with a black Fudenosuke brush pen on 9x12 bristol board. For a bit of context, the story is about a gorilla who is essentially a hitman (or hit-ape, if you will), and has been assigned to take out two men who have been perpetually robbing a trade route in the desert. I will probably expand it at some point, so think of this as the opening scene.

heyo! Well I made this sequence inspired by an episode of Love death and robots, I really would have liked to be able to refine it better and add more frames but I was very short of time hehe, I hope you like it:)

Hi everyone! Your works are great! I really liked this challenge. Unfortunately, I was very busy this month and only took 2 days for my storyboard. This is just a sketch of the first page of three or four. I had no idea for a script for a long time, so I decided to present the cinematic version of The Lord of the Rings. This is the scene where Boromir sacrifices his life. I'm sorry for the unfinished version.
