Did some sketches, and the little clean-freak knight caught my eyes. Rough color because i finished at 3 am, but! then I remembered that Mop in spanish is "Trapero", which is also the name used for those who do Trap Music, so Lil' Fiesta came to the party lol

First Try on the landmarks exercise. I will first draw along with the video, than start some on my own.

Mostly really good. Just the collar bones are too wiggly and should connect at the pit of the neck a little higher.

Thank you for doing this, Stan. The national security/bad actors piece that I hadn't even considered is chilling. Meeting in person sounds like a great idea. Looking forward to hearing about how that goes, and perhaps one day you'll be offering courses on how to use AI for artists as the tools develop? or not? I'm also wondering if listening to audio books at high speeds all the time causes people to speak so rapidly - or creates a sub-culture of rapid speakers.
15d
Maybe eventually I'll have some videos on using ai tools. Really depends on how this plays out.
No clue if listening to audiobooks causes one to speak quickly but I know it definitely helped me during this conversation!

I've definitely improved because of you so I would definitely like some more courses lol. I wouldn't have been able to draw this 2 weeks ago if it wasn't for you proko! Been drawing for 3 to 5 hours EVERYDAY trying to improve! Thank you you're the best!

202/11/20. Preparatory study for my next painting. Without any reference pic you can compare it to, could u say that the proportions are correct? Or do u get some strange feelings about them?

Is there a way to take Marshall Vandruff's perspective class? He got me intrigued with the exercises they do
18d
He was pretty selective of students and I'm not sure if its still open for enrollment. You can try to reach out to him on his site https://www.marshallart.com/

Is it at all possible to have an offline version of this please? If not the video then at least the audio?
18d
Thank you for the reminder! I uploaded a video and audio version into the downloads tab.
This was a lot of fun to watch! Thank you for doing this! I am excited to get started on the course! Is it January yet? 😸

almost!
So if we try and stop the boulder and don't cooperate with them we will be run over by the boulder. He sounds like a utopian chaser and history has taught us over and over, there is no utopia and it always turns out bad. How many times are we going to run the utopian experiment before we realise this?
18d
I'm with you on this one. Chasing Utopia is dangerous because it gives you an all powerful excuse to sacrifice ethics. "It's ok to do this bad thing because it leads to a perfect future".
