Thanks

[@denis_ds]

Almost done. It takes moths for me to go trough all anatomy lessons, and I will probably devote more time in figuring things out and learning more. Thanks Proko for these free and wonderful videos. See ya all at the end of the series.

[@Filya-chan]

how is it going?

[@denis_ds]

@@Filya-chan I stopped drawing due to health issues, hoping I will get back asap. At the time Proko had covered muscles of lower leg, I drew that and switched to drawabox lessons. Then started sketching digitally.

[@Filya-chan]

@@denis_ds good luck with that and wish you good health!

[@denis_ds]

@@Filya-chan Thank you very much random internet person.

[@alxxa20]

Thank you! I was having trouble understanding the anatomy from the poster at my school I’m every grateful!❤

[@ProkoTV]

Glad it helped!

[@oloneyzzz5812]

Damn proko didn't skip leg day in that thumbnail

[@donatoliotino1872]

The video I’ve been waiting for!

[@johnercek]

lowkey pissed that only 235k people have seen this. there must be a million artists out there who need to see this...

[@2b1chik]

Im excited to see what you got with the calves lesson!

[@TarnishedArt]

This helped me SO MUCH. I can't thank you enough, Stan.

[@dgibrilmonarque9769]

I love your videos. In this period of confinement I work with them to train me .

[@jebstone4935]

what we don't know is that proko's pic in the thumbnail was actually taken of him after thanksgiving dinner

[@SL-hq2ck]

What kind of a nuclear-grade HGH turkey did he eat?

[@fogsmog9325]

I didn’t think this was possible! 😦 great explanation and visual examples 💪🏼⚓️🦵🏼

[@michaelgabrieldelacruz1130]

BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@PaulMatematechapa]

I like the way u entertain us. At the same time we learn.
Hey I love those cartoon character

[@victory1014]

Thanks again for another amazing guide. How many more anatomy videos do you think you have left?

[@rhoharane]

These thumbnails are hilarious, Stan!

[@lordbeerus3383]

What a coincidence. I was just about to start studying this then this video came up.

[@achyuthanil1641]

You should go back to destroying civilisations.

[@pt-sam3730]

your courses are very good and easy to understand, you are a great teacher!!
Thanks very much you proko!!

[@mgsBicycleO9]

[@notu_productions]

[@Schesso]

I crave this knowledge. I need more. MORE!!

[@SirHosisofLiver]

Been waiting for this since 2012!

[@aleksitjvladica.]

[@sadman3515]

Never skipping leg day, eh?

[@miguellavariel1348]

Marvelous!

[@ignmo2980]

[@1986_veritas]

Thank you a lot for these videos!!

[@polystationclassic9609]

[@cringeypopsicle589]

[@flowersinthreads4168]

I have the full anatomy course but i still watch it on youtube

[@Jonnywaffles64]

you should make a proko muscle app. I would pay good money for that

[@TheMasterfulEmerld]

GET OUT THERE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE

[@RedHead7]

Quien más mira este canal porque no hay más dibujantes que ablen en español y nesesesitas el conocimiento XD

[@lol-wj4hx]

Did you go to some sort of biology class that taught anatomy? I am not really here for fun drawing, but more for diagrams and such.

[@artualpseu3691]

That Thumbnail is something

[@geometrydash179]

thank you again for your tutorial your tutorials are making my drawing better thank you so much : )

[@Argadeux]

Good video 👌🏼

[@mafiaishere4371]

[@EnergyxyzLightShadow]

[@KK-fl2do]

[@maulanalaser4748]

[@ellier2018]

Thank you

[@NevJake]

Thank you so much sir ! 😆

[@123rockfan]

I love Proko’s expertise and info he gives us but I just wish his channel didn’t come across as something you’d watch in high school.

[@Yurikon3]

In bodybuilding and anatomy one truth is essential:
Your arms are supports...
You can't play without proper core...
Your legs are yer team's carry...
Your head is the observer to see how badly it all comes together... So never skip the for either of them.

[@aidenlavallee5404]

Never clicked so fast!

[@itsiwhatitsi]

I'm here for the thumbnail. I stay to learn.

[@theodorevogiatzakis3911]

Finally!

[@ko1376]

thank you Proko, you helped me draw John Cena's legs

[@africaart]

Mine is covered in fat (and am not obesed).
It is complicated, I would have to watch this again another time.

[@EL_Newman]

It would be great if you could number these videos so that we can watch them in order. It probably doesn’t make much of a difference, but sometimes you mention previous videos that missed.

[@MrBiganda]

thanks for the video it was very helpful could you do a video on different types of unique muscles example people with unique muscles such as 8 pack and figures with bowed legs not many videos talk about such things in the anatomy

[@MrBiganda]

im using my dads laptop you could checkout my instagram art page which is galaadbigandart

[@Huetete]

Who need arms with legs like these

[@muffinguy910]

Aaaay prokopiko

[@joszibacsi819]

Nice video

[@janbertguerrero6988]

Wow thats alot of names!

[@MeshVoid]

Judging by the thumbnail, I though this was a workout video =))

[@suntan8573]

There should be a book explaining why not body builders seem to against theory .

[@uwaargh500]

Ooooh.. wow.. yesss

[@wiiwoowiiwoo639]

I'm more focus studying this rather than studying my own lesson. BTW I'm an IT student.

[@Nitesh-zq2fs]

[@ashabonam1918]

Please make a video on how to draw clothes🙏

[@zibarezaei536]

I like to learn face as a portrait 👍

[@gabyg8163]

No puedo parar de reírme con la miniatura xDDD

[@jmarcguy]

Do steroids make you a better artist???

[@ceilingfan4260]

Yep! It's called caffeine. Make yourself draw with a shaky hand and then when you're not caffeinated, you'll have better control :3

[@Rustyhound-Cartoons]

@@ceilingfan4260 this is geniuous!! Somebody get this fine gentlemen a cookie, pronto!

[@NoReplyAsset]

as a trans guy who's on medication that's highly sought after by steroid pumping bros... I can safely say that .... no. I still suck. now I just suck at drawing while having facial hair.

[@kyrlics6515]

@@NoReplyAsset was a joke but i guess it's nice that you told for all to know

[@mpsensha]

Now I feel sorry for vastus intermedius... poor little one.

FYI your photos of “powerlifters” are actually body builders. There’s a difference, look it up!

[@redcloversubliminals2497]

My legs looks like . weird sausage.

[@Shizukanabi]

Hi, Proko, I have a question: When you draw action in extreme perspective, for example like someone kneeing right on your face. Then the leg become forshorten and distorted. So how do you judge exactly how big the knee and the foot, how long is the thigh and lower leg, and the body... or do you just eyeball it? I have hard time draw it from imagination without reference.

[@64729Laura]

No I now feel bad for vastus intermidius :c

[@maazician5197]
