Whoa this is truly amazing! I understand better why it's useful to learn the anatomy in details! There's lots of light variations I didn't see at first!
Pure awesomeness! I am teaching myself how to draw and watch a lot of videos, but I must say yours are really complete and well done! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge :)
+Proko I have jumped from beans video to here to see how gesture drawing and beans are used in real drawing. So, I have a couple of questions, I would be grateful if you respond. 1. In gesture videos you drew the shape using gesture lines without needing beans and vice versa. Is it an either-or? Like you can start drawing a figure either with gesture lines or beans? 2. In this video, you did not use gesture or bean, instead you started blocking the some, measuring the ratio and started drawing contour. How does gesture or bean drawing helps here? 3. I also see that you use a lot of straight lines while blocking unlike what I have seen in bean and gesture videos where fluidity and exaggeration are the key. Thanks for taking time to read to this. I really like the videos, they are great help. Thanks for the good work.
Never disappointed watching your videos! Thank you for making them available! Figure drawing is still a challenge for me, mostly because of my proportions are weak. YOu inspire me to keep working on it.
Thanks for the videos Proko. I've been following for the last year to help with my college education. It's still a struggle as a beginner to get the hang of drawing but I guess we all start somewhere. This semester is figure drawing 1 for me since I've completed Color and Design, Drawing 1, drawing 2 and intro to 3d sculpture and design. I'll take painting 1 in the fall.
i have one question : when you drew that, you looked at shades and tried to copy them or looked at the forms of muscles and then shade (kind of analyzing the forms) or both? im a beginner and it always confuses me should i just try to copy shades or place them with logic.
Get the Premium stuff from his website. Considering how much other people charge for art lessons and what you get from them, Proko in comparison is incredibly cheap price wise and great for the content.
I was just reading Loomis' figure drawing book (which I know Stan references quite a bit) and he says when drawing from life, draw form and shade FROM the figure (the model or photo) and when you're drawing from imagination, draw form and shade FOR the figure. It looks like he's staying pretty true to the original light source in this video, but it's not uncommon for artists to adjust or alter their light source and shade accordingly (based on what they already know) if it helps their composition. That's pretty advanced stuff though and I don't see it applied on this simple life drawing.
Proko, what's really tearing me apart when it comes to my drawing is that I watch your videos, but you teach us like 5 different methods of figure drawing. There's the gesture lines, the mannequin lines, the bean and robobean, and then in this video you didn't do a single one, you just went straight to drawing the contours. I don't know which one i'm supposed to do.
it easy, learn from inside out. Start gesture and than measure and apply skeleton / muscles / skin / tone .. that will teach you. After you master it, you can change process as per your need
He started with measures and some gesture, just not in the entire drawing. I think that as you develop technique and a 'mental library' of shapes and structure you can skip some steps, but he probably does the steps mentaly, like we can see in other videos, where he thinks a lot before drawing some lines.
As much as I love Proko's work. Yours seems a lot more focused on the teaching side of things. Focusing on the whys rather than the hows and that style of teaching is pretty much how I learn. Then again, I've spent more on your stuff than I have on his :P...I pretty much have all your videos and love every one of them. Your method of assigning work to do at the end of the earlier courses is what I needed to get me into it.
I wanted to ask about Longer poses, like a week long pose drawing or even longer than that! I've seen them in almost every artist's office or resume, but the thing is I am so used to instant gratification that when it takes longer than 3-4 hours, I just simply give it up and I don't know what else to add... what's the process? is it the measuring that takes this much time?
Started following the course a few weeks ago, and was a bit bummed I missed out on the chance for critiques. Will there be a critique video for the longer/rendered drawings? And is it worth it to send other stuff (bean/robobean/...) for you to look at?
i think something important that every artist that make a speed drawing miss is saying in the video how long it really takes to make the drawing. Sometimes we see 2 hours in 8 minutes like in this one somethime se see 12 hours in 30 minutes and we dont get how hard and how long it takes to get that lvl of detail.
The unfinished rock was on purpose, wasn't it? I always forget that we have that artistic license to direct the viewers' eyes, instead of slavishly copying from the reference. Very nice drawing overall.
ironically you don't even start with the gesture yourself but with basic positional marks, the end result is always the same, a figure with little movement.
I try to say this the most delicant way i can you are a great artist and teacher but im feeling a llitle bit uncomfertable any chance the figures can have more cloths?
+SuperGenericMan lol it's a kneaded eraser. And yeah, the first time you use one it's pretty magical. They're not special, though, you can buy them at lots of different places super cheap.
i dont find this drawing great. its good but not great. your proportions and placement of muscle is way off. it lacks detail, the muscle is placed simply intead of instead of deliberately. i love the work but its quite simplfied.
Never skip leg day.

*Watches video* looks at his owns drawings.... sits downs in a ball tries not to cry.... cries a lot
Time lapses are so satisfying

He makes it look so easy
Your videos are a life saver for someone who wasn't able to fit a figure drawing class into his schedule!
nice seeing everything come together during the second pass
Awesome Stan, thank you. Going to check the full 2.5 hours of this masterpiece :)
remember straight lines give you accuracy, Curved lines is for aesthetics.
Running over to your website right now!
... Man.
D̶A̶T̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶. nice drawing.

when i get some money i will buy the full anatomy course proko. keep up the good work
I am in awe of your mad skillz!!
Wow that is pretty ridiculously good.
TWO AND A HAL F HOURS CONDENSED INT O EIGHT MINUTES HOLY HECK
The art process looks like basic shapes-details-identifying shadows-shadows-detailing values?
Проко офигенен))
I'm quite good at drawing, thing is, my only equipment is an HB pencil 😥
I like how you hold the pencil
You are awesome👍 Thanks for your free videos, İ've learned so many things from you🙏
Great work!
You have skillz, ty for the free tips and video's .
This is wonderful!
Better than original!👌
Thank's Stan I enjoyed your time lapse figure drawing, you make it look pretty easy:-)
That values...
Tal parece buen trabajo muy elaborados saludos amigo
Beautiful..
Great
GOOD Sketch
Its pretty cool
Pure awesomeness!
If this figure would be made on kind of papyrus in sepia, it would look like freaking michelangelo... Stunning!

@@jaromirkalab1444 To be honest, I'm really confused about the whole routine, I didn't know what to do after gesture, but this gave me an idea.

fucking amazing. I JUST LEARNED HOW TO DRAW A FIGURE. the male figure is a challenge but a damn good one
Congratulation
wawo,this is fantastic
I like and subscribe you're amazing artist....Hope I can able to draw like you someday.
My life los all the value in 8:00 minutes =D thanks
amazing!!!
omg! it's awesome
exelente

I know the guy who is the model in the picture. He's a very very cheeky fellow.
Lol :D
**PUN INTENDED**
What's used at 02:20 to darken the background?
Amazing work
Charcoal powder
The unfinished rock was on purpose, wasn't it? I always forget that we have that artistic license to direct the viewers' eyes, instead of slavishly copying from the reference. Very nice drawing overall.
Huhu satisfyingg
Did you use gestures with this?
Perfect! *O*
So how much is drawing what you see and how much is drawing what you know?
Hi,
Can you share the brushing technique you used for the background, and also what brush is it.
Thanks
I've seen the premium video and it wasn't that slow it was the same as this one
What did you in the background? Was that a paint brush and charcoal powder or something?
I have a question on the process of drawing, as you so easily and smoothly roztushevali background?
Woa
I dont know the realistic shape of a face..
Can you teach me
do you run out of steam doing these? like could you do 3 of these 2.5 hr start to finish drawings in 1 day or sitting?
Who put a thumbs down wth
is this a self portrait?
Are the legs out of proportion?
HI, What did you use to eraser the small details when shading ?
Thanks!!
Generals kneaded eraser
It only took him 2 hours and so. 😮
I take 3 - 5 hours just to draw a portrait using charcoal.. 😅😅
Another superhuman and their's fingers in a video with a magic pencil and a magic paper. Nice............!
what lead degree is this please i wiil buy the pencils to follow your course
you made him look a lot more masculine than he is...lol. killer skills though
Did you use easel?
What kind of technique did he use for the background?
He applied charcoal powder with a brush. General's is one brand sold in jars. Great for covering large areas of a drawing quickly and evenly.
girls must fall for you like crazy huh? with art skills like that...
ironically you don't even start with the gesture yourself but with basic positional marks, the end result is always the same, a figure with little movement.
What pencil were you using. Charcoal??
Yep!
what did he use to fill in the background?
*****
thank you
omg
I only know free hand drawing ;-;
If this doesn't make you want to pay $79 then I don't know what will.
I try to say this the most delicant way i can you are a great artist and teacher but im feeling a llitle bit uncomfertable any chance the figures can have more cloths?
I know but some underwear isnt a deal breaker
Luiz Vaz lol
Cool drawing, but all those deceptive candences from the music are making me anxious.
Ugh, BUT ANATOMY IS HARD XD ...I'm probably just gonna go watch Vanoss now bye
*thicc*
whats up with the weird out of tune music
Dude, you should sell what you draw. I mean it, you could become very rich.
2:27 what the fuck is that tool!?
THAT'S CHEATING, MAN.
+SuperGenericMan I think thats a rubber.. ;_;
tschese WHAT KIND OF RUBBER? IT'S SO GODDAMN EFFECTIVE.
I DONT KNOW, PROBABLY A MAGICAL RUBBER
+SuperGenericMan lol it's a kneaded eraser. And yeah, the first time you use one it's pretty magical. They're not special, though, you can buy them at lots of different places super cheap.
+SuperGenericMan WHAT SORCERY IS THIS
i dont find this drawing great. its good but not great. your proportions and placement of muscle is way off. it lacks detail, the muscle is placed simply intead of instead of deliberately. i love the work but its quite simplfied.
I wouldn’t draw this particular picture of a guy though. Lol nice work! I want to learn the shading technique.
