hey Proko ! First of all I love these series you do. I'm wondering what would be, in your opinion, the wacom pen tablet/display/computer for an illustrator? Ive done my research it seems the pro 24" or the cintique 27" would be the choice... your thoughts?
For a few years I had only the 13 inch Wacom Companion that I did my digital studio work on. Then I got the 22 inch HD Cintiq. It's great. If you have the room on your desk and can afford the ones that are larger than that, I'm sure you'd be very happy with it.
Thanks Court! Im actually currently using the 13 inch myself. Id like more surface area for sure, I'm doing my homework on an upgrade now. Thanks for responding. I love the positive videos and all the free content!
I love that you said "There's no artistry in perfection". I have always admired "Photo Realistic" drawings... but they look like a photo... not a drawing. I love that my drawings look like drawings.... better yet... my drawings.
A wonderful and valuable caricature and portrait course. The best I've experienced online. Wisdom and humor and great writing, production and direction. Court and Proko stand high...
I´m not a professional artist… I just have a lot of fun drawing, but I never tought I would be able to do a caricature, before your course. I don´t have much time and i haven´t I even watched all of your lessons, here in Proko, but the few lessons I watched were so powerfull that improved a lot my sense of observation and drawing skills in general, not only in caricature. I think that caricature is highly linked to humor, so beginers interested in realism usualy don´t take it seriously - and the number of visualizations of your videos don´t correspond to its importance. Your course is fundamental! (and you speak so cleary that is easy to understand even to a non english speaker - hy from Brazil!) You are really a master. You are the best! Thank you, Court!
That part on being thrown into the field without any much basic and training, draw people live straight away is really immensely pressuring, even with a mentor at the side covering up for my lack of speed, lack of skill to spot the unique feature of someone's face, children running about and getting bored after 1 minutes, long queues, and so on, loud background music vibrating your body and hands, being forced to jump into using brush to save off 50% of the timing spent. The desire and need to meet the expectation of audience, entertain customers, made it an necessity to figure out how to get thing right fast, cramming what I have to know from different websites, youtube videos, consulting mentors, gutting in mistake without feeling embarrassed or letting it affect my learning efficiency. Drawing people within a short period of time forced me to be economical about my time, make sure I know what I'm doing with a brush, force the humour out, forget about trying to be perfect and draw those tiny redundant details that doesn't add to humour. Now Comedy must be practiced well without having to insult audience, especially if I'm representing a small company. It never really get any easier, me trying to be better, and seeing new problems coming in. The only thing that really bounded me if seeking perfection to draw woman, especially in Singapore, where the culture doesn't really open up to being drawn in a "ugly" way, that's my problem to solve as an apprentice. I find this video really good, I hope you will continue loving what you do for a living.
This has made me really think. I’m a portrait artsiest and right back to when I started every single one I’ve done is perfect, and accurate. There’s not one I don’t like and yet I feel that’s pretty telling as it means I’ve actually not really moved on. Really enjoyed all this. Thankyou. Blessed be. X
Yes, practice every day and stepping out of your comfort style does make a difference, when it comes to motivation, uniqueness, skill, and enhancements in good value and personal style.
I never drew caricature and never planned to do, but your course was really helpful, even with 'realistic' protraits, because it helped a lot in analyzing pictures and finding strong features.
Hello, this tips are amazing, actually it's one of the best starter's guide I've seen lately. Thanks for sharing, I'll be practicing every day now on. The skelly gag killed me, so hilarious!!!
I think pros should start clearing up this "career" thing with art....there are like a billion careers that build on art, not to mention there are like a billion tipe of art's to begin with. If we are talking about "Artist" as career, that ONLY lives from selling what he makes as art, is an entirely different topic , not to mention we still have to clear up in what art? Whell anyway, good tips, but i really wanted to say this.
1:14 lol, I see what you did there. You cut it at the nose bit because you don't want to offend him for that falcon schnoz! I've offended so many people drawing caricatures. It's kind of a thing no one talks about.
The main annual conventions will probably always be in the U.S. because most of the members are here. But there are several chapters around the world that host mini-cons for ISCA. It would be great to see a chapter and mini-con in India one day!
At various Los Angeles theme parks I’ve seen artists use a larger black “rubber” pad. Since the papers are drawn on a large clip board, these black pads are used to add “bounce” to the pressure of the tools applied. I know someone’s going to recommend just adding more paper for the same purpose, but I’ve been searching for these 18”x24” pads. The closest thing I’ve seen are “signing pads” used at stores when you’re closing out a check by the register. I’ve asked employees at these stores and caricature artists what those pads were and how to get them, but all have said they didn’t know. Any leads?
Sorry for the very late reply. There are a lot of Proko caricature vids to keep up with! But yes, you can buy those EVA foam pads at most craft stores or on Amazon. They go by different names. Sometimes "Flexi Foam" sometimes "Fun Foam" or "Craft Foam".

Thanks Mr. Bill!
Your work and coaching are an inspiration. My process and thinking are different thanks to you. Hope to see you in San Diego in November.

Such kind words. Thank you! I'm glad you have found the lessons valuable and instructive.
Loved the series. Very professional production and fun to watch! The way you explain things us delightful to listen to! Thank you!

I really love what yoy have said about the concept of perfection in art. I absolutely agree, there is nothing artistic in perfection.
I never drew caricature and never planned to do, but your course was really helpful, even with 'realistic' protraits, because it helped a lot in analyzing pictures and finding strong features.
thank you very much Court. I have improved to whatever I am only under your guidance.
Priceless information! thank you very much!

ISCA Convention in INDIA.?

Yea really we do caricature in every work
Caricatures of Christopher Walken look like a Tim Burton character.
