I've been drawing more than 25 years and I started watching your vids thinking I wouldn't learn anything new. After 2 videos I've learned more than I have in 5 years (maybe longer). I always knew I skimmed over basics once I found a trick to hide my weak areas but no one ever put it so simply and compelling as you have. For the first time maybe ever I'm going to be excited to draw basic shapes and not use my "tricks" of shading to fool the viewer, because deep down I've always known I was cheating them and myself. You're a gifted instructor! This weekend I'm going to start drawing again for the first time in maybe 18 - 20 months, and I'm going to buy from you're curriculum! Thank you!
And what u cant get a job? Ive been working since I was 14. That was during the great recession and later on the pandemic. With barely any recovery inbetween. Im an artist too. I still work full time and managed to get a HS diploma.
Can't help noticing how tired you sound during the vid. Hope life isn't tiring you out now that you've got the newborn. Take care of yourself if the vids start getting in the way.
When it comes to hands, references are such lifesavers honestly. Even if I don't want to bother finding one I at least do the pose with one of my own hands a couple of times to get the general idea of how it should look. A mirror is a good tool for that too
I am so glad I never got the bug for realistic drawings. I do cartooning as a hobby...but I adore these videos. I discovered your channel by surfing...and now I watch them all. Amazing art.
I try to remember the distinction between reconstructing forms and photocopying contour for most of the time, but listening to the man himself makes it whoa, I'm trusting someone's word from internet and internalizing it. awesome, imma head back rewatching the old vids for more of that. Congrats for the baby!
Your references to anatomy make so much more sense to me after going through an intensive, medical-heavy massage therapy program, lol. good to know it's being put to use.
This was a very constructive and objective critique, aimed to show all those little details which are very often overlooked. Learning enough anatomy for artists and some foreshortening techniques is a most. Congratulations for the new member of the family!
Learning basic anatomy is invaluable with this kind of stuff. Also, I think what some people overlook (which you kind of eluded to) is that hands emote, so knowing the action driving the hand shape really gives it meaning and life. I’ve seen a lot of technically good and accurate art that only transmits inanimate information like “person wearing stuff and standing in a place while holding a thing” but fails to transmit purpose, mood, or action, and that just results in stiff and lifeless humanoids.
Bruh I saw the pictures of your son and immediately gave a like. It's wonderful that you took the time to spend time with and care for him :) Keep being awesome Proko
Dude! You are so amazing! I love that through the video you keep teaching basically universal principles of good art construction. Almost using hands as just an example of how to apply them. Very helpful in many ways. Also I love your pinky gesture at 10:11, totaly reminds me of the Greek ideal and a pinky they would make. At 14:09 what you say about finding the corner is so great, it made me realize how important it is to communicate where the corners and ends are. I love you Proko, congratulations on your super cute son, take care!
Proko, I’m not sure if you went to school for this knowledge you have or if it’s purely experienced, but either way, I agree 100%. I’ve learned hands on (pun intended) that starting from a basic idea or form and adding to it is far easier than jumping in on something complicated and giving it your all. Great video!
This video is a godsend! I'm trying to make a 4k wallpaper, and while I got all the bodies and faces well done, the hands and feet are killing me! Gonna try these techniques as soon as i get back to drawing.
That’s okay, it shows that everyone has room to improve. Art is a journey that can last your entire life. Opera singers never stop trying to improve their vocal abilities c:
@@ErosBhog I'm happy to hear that. I wanted to advie you that any sort of improvement, of any skill, comes from the capacity to be critical about procedures, were they results positive or negative, or anything in-between. E.g: If you want to get better at art, you have to improve your capacity to recognize mistakes and working on them. Kinda feel that you know this by know hahah. Best of all.
You have to keep in mind that there are 2 kinds of critique: constructive and destructive. Constructive helps make it better, destructive destroys the motivation, the guy is just trying to help make it better than it already is, but you can take it to your drawings and make it improve.
@@Swordsquire I always hear this and I think it's very unfair. Yeah he has a couple of very obviously weird drawings (famously that one drawing of cap) but one thing to take in mind is that he is a self taught artist, so he never had any anatomy lessons in an actual art school. and when he started out the internet did not have the plethora of free lessons it has today. And even besides that, he has made a lot of amazing art, but his worst pieces are the ones people think of.
@21st Century Schizoid Man Butt-hurt fanboy, dead ahead. Hey, if you love hackneyed, shitty, quarter-assed, sub-par doodles, have at it. With money he made, he should've taken some actual classes. But I guess that's would've been the smart thing to do.
@@Swordsquire lol pretentious asses whining about some dude who can't meet perfect anatomy while i bet none of them can't even draw a fucking apple straight! This is the cancer of people.
I am very impressed by your ability to explain: how to 'think' when drawing, how to see the hand, your understanding of the student, how you use others drawings as the basis for your lesson, how you explain the structure of the hand, your understanding of the student, You have excellent ability, thank you,
When a person begins to paint, his desires and fantasies overtake his possibilities. Without mastering the classic drawing it is impossible to become an artist. Then, having gained mastery, you can engage in any currents and directions of painting. In Russia, traditionally a strong school of painting. Your lesson is useful and visible. Thank!🙏
Thx for the superb tutorial. I lost a lot of my confidence in drawing and lost 10 years shying away from real art work. Trying to get it back. Personally speaking having someone like u Proko give their valuable time for FREE and in a constructive manner really speaks volumes. It's very much appreciated. I am now subbed : ]
Thank you so much for doing what you do. I learned a lot from you, and I am a working artist because of your videos and RUclips in general. For Autodidacts like me it is a perfect environment: Watch tutorials then..practice until your fingers drop!
the sample drawings sent in, i think, were too preoccupied with detail and not enough on more basic things like proportion - i teach my students to try to draw things like hands first totally without detail ... to draw them (and other things) as outlines first - it forces you to work on proportion etc
antigen4 This! I've discovered I focus way too much on detail. Plus I was never taught how to break things down into simplistic shapes. So it's definitely been a struggle.
I am sooo gonna follow you as an instructor i lost hope with hands but been able to draw simple non weird shapes right after watching this tutorial thank you
So, fingers are not "1/3, 1/3, 1/3" proportion but "1/2, 1/4, 1/4" instead. That explain a lot why they look so wierd on most of my drawings... Thanks for the video. ^^
I feel my mind will melt with ALL this amount of information on your channel!!! I FEEL ALIVEEEE And man, CONGRATS for the baby 👶🏻 all the very best for you and your family!!!
Thanks so much for your video. You teach the the critical skills and techniques (what you need to know and the correct way to do it). Then after practice I can start developing my own style. You are a gold mine of info.
tutorials like these always make it seem so easy, but even when I try to draw the structure of the hand I get confused easily, especially when it's from an angle or curled around something or something
Focus on creating each individual shape rather than trying to make one big outline. Drawing is like cursive. Most people approach it like print or typing however. Instead of drawing a "hand" seek out the shapes OF the hand. Dont start off with drawings of hands holding things like knives, swords, pens, etc. Start off with JUST drawing hands. First make a rough outline with those basic shapes. Find out where the cubes go, the spheres, etc. Then connect it with those oddball curves that come in along the lines of the fingers. THEN make a more general outline around THAT and erase the guidelines you no longer need. Then you can fill in the details. Too many people try to jump straight into the details from an outline that has no shapes, and thats what makes drawings look flat and cartoony. This guy makes it look effortless. That is due to a lifetime of discipline and experience that has resulted in carpel tunnel. Ur not gonna be that fast. It can easily take a student a whole week to draw a proper hand. When u move the camera back and adjust proportions u can get into whole figures, faces, head angles etc and it wont take that long cuz ull have the fundamentals down..
loved all this information, definitely need to go and see some of your other videos on hands because even looking at references of hands i'm starting to really struggle and i'm getting frustrated
how did you get better with hands?? can you recommend any videos?? i struggle a lot too, i pull my hair out while drawing lol i know this is a bit old, my apologies if you dont remember
Seems to me that people are working from "hand-selfies." This introduces the variable factor of camera lens distortion, which to me is very evident in some of the critiques you've so masterfully given. It's something everyone working from digital images ought to be aware of and account for. Camera images especially distort from about 24 inches from the lens. You're a great teacher.
Being a good father and spending time and loving your adorable son instead of making videos for free on a website for ungrateful viewers? What's wrong with you? JK, take all the time you need between videos
People pay for the videos through his website, its quite expensive though his library and resources are already quite large... and im not sure if he releases these videos at the same rate as his payed stuff pretty sure he does, or if these are released a while after.
I was about to say that. 💚 The time goes so fast. So so fast. There are priorities and I believe children are the 1st. You can draw tomorrow. But you wont get another chance to see your child's "firsts".
Corey Wood I think he was specifying the free videos separate from the paid ones. They are free on RUclips, at least these are. Which means it is not vital to his income, and so he shouldn't feel the need to apologize for belated kindness. I'm a hobbyist. I make no money off my art so supplies and programs are already completely out of pocket for me. And it's thanks to these videos and people like him that I can improve and grow in my art without having to add more costs to something I will never see a return on. That is something he doesn't have to do, none of them do. But they do it. Maybe it's for the few dollars from ads the views would get him, but I like to believe that there is a motive of kindness behind it. And thus, they shouldn't feel the need to apologize for having a life. People who are like me should simply be grateful that somebody out there has dedicate their time to these things when they may have no (financial) gain from them. And so should people like me complain, it is out of selfishness and ungratefulness, and they need to go get that stick out of their ass and get over themselves.
I’m a premium payer. He actually release the premium version and free version not far from each other. Only thing is the free version has less stuff in it. So what you have on his RUclips channel is pretty much what you get on the premium website. And to be honest he can take all the time he wants, family come first. In the time waiting for legs anatomy people could go back and master the previous lesson first.
You are one of the best lector of drawing here on YT and you have good speech so I understand to you without subtitles. I love your videos. Keep going. It is very helpful for us begginers. :-) Btw. drawing hands is horror for me still. More than eye. :-D
Great video.ive been struggling with this concept for awhile, you put in an easy to understand way . Very helpful video thank you please continue making videos.
This video came in handy. :D But seriously. Great video. Very helpful. One tends to forget the simple shapes that we are made from. You explain it so very clearly.
After drifting through your videos for some months, I'm, finally starting to get this : ] thank ya once i move out in a short while, im totally buying the the pro course stuff
You’re so fucking good it’s ridiculous thank you for refreshing my brain I’ve been creating art since 2003 I jumped to digital in 2011 and I haven’t really been practicing anatomy , I’m investing in this channel keep up the good work.
These are some really great and useful tutorials. I like how you compare others work and show the corrections needed. That really helps us to understand the correct forms a lot better. Awesome videos.
I usually take a photo of my hand in a pose then I draw it. And hey don’t apologize for spending time with your son, family comes first. Also congrats on the new little artist.
Proko is a great artist and a nice person , His work here teaching complex anatomy simply for the love of it is very Noble and I support what He's doing without a doubt . I joke around but I have only respect for him . What's his favorite band ? Anwser: Proko Harem.
Your videos have helped me tremendously.. over a short period of time I have gotten a better understanding of the construction. I can't thank you enough. 🙂 My style is more comic inspired at it's roots. Honestly, I just found your videos. Trying to get a better understanding of the anatomy because I most always lean towards the female form. I would love to let you see something I've done and see what you think because my art is good.. or I would like to think so?. Sorry, I'm rambling. I just have alot I've love to ask you.
Can i request that you show examples from Burne Hogarth? In my opinion he was the best anatomical artist of all time. His book Dynamic Anatomy is mind blowing and he has an entire chapter on hands.

once i move out in a short while, im totally buying the the pro course stuff
Congratulations with your newborn! As for this video, very amazing and analytical.
You’re so fucking good it’s ridiculous thank you for refreshing my brain I’ve been creating art since 2003 I jumped to digital in 2011 and I haven’t really been practicing anatomy , I’m investing in this channel keep up the good work.
These are some really great and useful tutorials. I like how you compare others work and show the corrections needed. That really helps us to understand the correct forms a lot better. Awesome videos.
i don't really look at vids like this usually but hey - great critiques! keep at it
That's unfair, he's too cute.
Congratz dude.
+Jaldaboath Irghen i know.. I have to deal with his cuteness every day.
I usually take a photo of my hand in a pose then I draw it. And hey don’t apologize for spending time with your son, family comes first. Also congrats on the new little artist.
This video was really handy! It really helped me to finger out how to draw hands.
Whether ur son becomes an artist or not....he will know how to draw....with persice expertise ..✍👏👍
I want this dude to be my art class teacher...
Really good video sir Proko, this has helped me understand hands a lot more
A very handy video. Will keep it on hand for reference.
Very helpful video on improving your observational skills!

Proko is a great artist and a nice person , His work here teaching complex anatomy simply for the love of it is very Noble and I support what He's doing without a doubt . I joke around but I have only respect for him . What's his favorite band ? Anwser: Proko Harem.
you're a *GOOD* teacher...
This video is very good sir. I have
learned a lot by watching all your video.🙏👍
Your videos have helped me tremendously.. over a short period of time I have gotten a better understanding of the construction. I can't thank you enough. 🙂 My style is more comic inspired at it's roots. Honestly, I just found your videos. Trying to get a better understanding of the anatomy because I most always lean towards the female form. I would love to let you see something I've done and see what you think because my art is good.. or I would like to think so?. Sorry, I'm rambling. I just have alot I've love to ask you.
Oh my he is adorable! Congrats and thanks for the great video!
Thank you so much you help me and many other artists every where!!
Best thumbnail I've seen in a while
Proko, awesome work and congrats on the newborn..
Congratulations!
Thanks for priceless tutorials.
this is more educational than other tutorials more power Sir ♥♥ :)
Can i request that you show examples from Burne Hogarth? In my opinion he was the best anatomical artist of all time. His book Dynamic Anatomy is mind blowing and he has an entire chapter on hands.
I'll second that
Thank you! It is very constructive and helpful critique.
omg super sweet how he got happy while talking about his son xD
Grats on becoming a new daddy Stan!
That has to be the most disgustingly cute baby smile I've ever seen in my life. A belated congrats to you!
Delightful ! I did´t know there were still people around who knew how to draw.

Just proves how complex human anatomy truly is
This tutorial will come in handy for my drawing
