"im not teachjng you anything. Im showing you how im teaching myself." That one hit. This channel is by far one of the greatest for learning. Not just art thinking, but true life wisdom. Love it.
definitely very cool mindset to have. reps on reps on reps. most times I get caught up with a drawing I did well, and I know I can do again. but sometime scared to mess up. i will try this method on my training days
Yeah, I agree with you. His sense of wisdom comes from Universalism (vs Particularism) which is clearly seen in his way of viewing his artwork. Sometimes we need to sit back and watch and judge the artwork as a whole. Just the same as what a wise man does.
@ProkoTV Can you PLEASE PLEASE tell me exactly what pen and or pencils and paper he uses to do those sketches he shows in his book? I reslly hope to hear from you!! And can you share any more videos on how to leanr to draw Luke him or how to come up with new original designs? THANK YOU!
@@leif1075 Looks like his main pens are a couple Pigma FB pens here. Search "Peter Han" and we have him in a few videos on the channel! We'll also have another video with him out this week, as well.
dude..there's tears in my eyes.i have been facing the same thing. not being able to express to the extent of what's going on inside. thank you, everyone at proko
For a mid-to-high level artist, this sort of lecture is golden. After you know different ways of drawing, we need to talk about "ways of ways of drawing" (i.e. the process).
This is the most original video I've seen so far, this content is really heavy, never seen any artists talking so clearly about how they actually tackle the fear and solve the problem. I thank you proko for bringing up this content ❤
This video is what I wanted for all the designers I see giving an elaboration of what their process is like, but as if it were for a friend in which he explains with enthusiasm.
Amazing information already ( 5 mins in, still watching! Loved the "vids we see on social media as an illusion!" section ) I remember the Draftsman podcast where Proko discussed with Marshall on how he constructs his illustrations ( the one with the wood chopping scene) on how he preps up the foundations before the ACTUAL, final piece. The grind must go on to learn such an amazing skill.
I been following Peter for a while, Its honestly insane to see that a high level artist who is so much farther in their journey, can still see ways to take them even higher. While lower level artists like me think things like "im not good enough" or "ill never be on the same level as xyz" like we've already reached our peak or something.
Watching this one, I realized that when I was little and used to think of the word "drawing", I imagined this display of skill that Mr. Peter Han showed us here, just, without the 20 + years of experience.
I feel like the fact that he and some artists I have as friends can keep on talking non stop about their art is a testament to just how much information and experience one must absorb to make art that is natural, believable, impactful and conveys what the artists wishes to convey
I LOVE watching Peters Proko videos. I’ve been re-watching his dwarf video for years! Now this one will be the same I’m sure. Can Proko please have Peter do more demos? He’s gold! Thank you Proko team!
I can feel this so much, there comes a point where expression takes over the technical aspect of it. While on one end I still want to study and push foundation a lot more I also realize that if I can't express an idea then it feels pointless. Invaluable lecture!
Man, this speaks to me. This is how I create. But Peter has provided some amazing guidance for me here. He takes it to 11. Gonna rewatch this until it burns into my screen.
Absolutely amazing. Anyone else would've stopped at one good drawing, but each new one he made was better than the rest. Being able to do that on camera in front of a crowd, with fear and anxiety, and succeeding. I'm so grateful that he was able to show and explain his thought process to us. I'm also grateful that this moment was captured by Proko. Thank you for this platform. I learned something valuable today.
I literally had a similar epiphany yesterday. I was stuck drawing a bunch of stiff figures and anatomy instead of expressing my ideas first and foremost. Such a great video!
I genuinely can't thank you enough. I know exactly what energy you were talking about. Because I've seen that energy conveyed by an artist before and ever since then it's been stuck on my mind. I've been trying to understand and capture that energy, that liveliness for years at this point. And now I think I'm finally starting to understand it thanks to you. After hearing you say it, I can feel in my bones that you're correct that this energy, this natural yet exaggerated form doesn't come from following rules, following our pre determined idea of that thing . Rather it comes from letting of everything you know, following your emotions and just moving with the flow. To be honest I've been admiring this energy, being jealous of it and loathing it ,when I'm met with failure. And thanks to you I think I understand it a bit better than before. Thanks, I will never forget you're lesson today.
Half an hour that felt like 5 minutes. Peter is awesome! I could feel he was talking to ME, and I felt understood in many of my insecurities and problems as an artist. This is a really positive video to remind us of little things that make the art journey enjoyable, instead of dreadful and depressing 💚
Dude… this is exactly how I feel and think. Everything he’s described- from that FEELING of movement I feel too. Actually that’s EXACTLY WHY I wanna go into animation… dude this was really surreal. I’m gonna go do some art, y’all should too
if only this video came out earlier it would've saved me a lot of headache 😭 but yeah people like peter han and kim jung gi does have a very form based, representational approach to drawing, and it's good to see peter try to infuse more graphic design principles into his art to help convey his ideas more effectively (things like using flow to convey movement and energy)
I love watching pros sketch and provide insight. Although as a beginner there's always that envy at how they actually put lines where they want them. Im using the Proko basics course and practice to hopefully get some pencil control. Thanks proko!
Peter han is one of the teacher and instructor you teach you to teach yourself. ❤ Kudos to proko and team to have the greats to tell us the path as an artist ahead in many aspect.
Fantastic!! Watching Peter explain the process with a educational tone and emotional element was an event worthy of praise and applause. Bravo,, sir! Thanks to you and Proko for taking us through the development of a dynamic action piece, step by step. I learned a lot. BTW...what else ya got?? More please!
13:5513:55 13 minutes in he mentions being overtrained and wanting to break out of over intellectualizing the technical aspects of drawing; A solution: Wet on wet washes. You can do it with watercolor, water soluble graphite or graphite powder, acrylics or very thinned out oil paint onto a surface you’ve brushed thinner solvent over. You have so little control over wet on wet washes once pigment hits water that it forces you to just accept what’s happening on the paper/canvas/surface. I find this is my favorite way to start my pieces. I just let my hand move without stopping and thinking about what I’m making, then I let it dry. Then I come back a day or hours later once it’s dry and outline what I see, and accentuate what is already there. I find this to be a very fun and rewarding way to make art, because my favorite artist Robert Venosa did all his paintings this way. He was a very technical painter who could do photo realistic portraits that chose to make amorphous alien landscapes with floating ethereal shifting beings. He said “art is an emotional process, not an intellectual one”. So his methods bring back emotion and non linear thinking back into the process as the main driving force of the creativity. What your subconscious comes up with will surprise you in this wash technique. I see all kinds of faces and forms on the surface! I hope he reads this and that this helps him haha. Because everything like perspective etc etc go out the window almost entirely when you start all your pieces/underpaintings like this.
Such a great demonstration, especially the part about knowing when to stop. Having the knowledge, the intuition and the discipline of not over correcting and micromanaging yourself. The fine line between not sabotaging and limiting your own expression but still demonstrating you understand fundamental principles. Your art will never be perfect and that's totally okay. At some point you have to finish and move on to the next thing. But as long as you recognize your mistakes and shortcomings, you'll get better and faster at reaching your own personal point of satisfaction with each piece, with fewer obstacles.
Interesting, I have a similar battle coming from a background in Industrial Design. I agree with him completely, this is why its important to study other artist. Its a life long journey. Some of my favorite that have helped me progress over the past 20 years is Vilppu, Michael Mattesi, Stephen Silver, Wouter Tulp, Tom Bandcroft and Walt Stanchfield. There are many approaches, in the end you still have to formulate your own approach by taking what works for you and disgarding the rest.
11:23 So glad he mentions the western comic style of conveying motion vs non-static anime norms. What was once popular dynamics for moving objects have seriously changed from the 90's 😎
i always watch videos 2 times speed but not this time around and i didnt even realize until the end and Peter Han wasnt kidding when he said he talks fast and draws fast lol
" I am not trying to teach you or anything. I'm showing you how I'm trying to teach myself." Well, good sir, I still learned something from you. Thank you. 🤯
Stan, thank you for making amazing content and inspiring educating and lifting up other fellow artist, you are certainly an inspiration to us all keep up the hard work, brother
Super intresting video, I always struggle with losing life when I clean up my drawing and I think it’s due to the sort of thinking he talks about. It’d be really interesting to see Peter animate
We are in the world of mine where even mechanics can be distorted for movement, imagine those that are chaotic and natural with perspective to boot and you have all the magic.
4:00 Wow. That is gold information. It's very easy for me to see thumbnailing forms as a "cheat" or a sign of immaturity, as if somehow I should be past this. Good to know the masters never stop doing it.
Wow I didn't expect the 3rd drawing to come out THAT better then the previous one, it's so much more dynamic even tho in the previous one he tried also using a fish eye perspective with foreshortening.
That's because you're not a "designer/ problem solver" kind of artist ✨ there's so many different types of artist, I'd recommend Adam Duffs recent video where he talks more about the "artist" kind of perspective ! (The video is titled "A controversial subject for artist" pretty great video )
Hello! Love the video :) I have a question since I'm still struggling on how to progress in my art. If I'm trying to understand anatomy and drawing poses, should I start by learning the fundamentals first or just freehand and build from imagination just how you did in the video? While following the art process, I tried to take the advice of letting your hand take over the drawing. My drawing came out decent, but I found it difficult to capture the clothing and it felt like I was putting random shadows, and the hand came out mostly a blob. If I'm refining the drawing, does that mean I should have prior knowledge of how clothing and proportions work first? Might be a weird and obvious question, but I'd like to hear from another artist's perspective.
Finally, a master disciple of Kim Jung Gi who ate at the same table, I expected nothing less from his expression, very similar, but also very different from the great Gi.
Part 2 of Peter's demo is out now! Check it out - th-cam.com/video/RCFkkXofl6o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rLmCursiJuM4Cgi5
Is this code time-limited ? Because I want to finish the drawing basics course first.

He chose one of the hardest poses out there- a person throwing a baseball. great work (problem solving)!
Peter's the best at what he does!

"This is bad, this is bad, YOU'RE BAD." Way too accurate. Trying to live the lesson that the "pressure is a privilege". This is brilliant 🙏🏻

Tanto vídeo sobre processo e descubro que precisava de mais.
Peter constantly becomes better at teaching and pushing his style. One of the greatest video demos I have seen in a long time.

"I tend to draw fast and talk fast..Just keep up!!" Freakin love that!!
I read this comment as he said that 😂
Fascinating process, and a fantastic speaker too - no words wasted, so much valuable info so quickly!! Many thanks as ever!
It's always an eye-opening, worthwhile experience seeing him work
@@ProkoTV i can only imagine how intuitive it is to work with him, keep it up
i want to draw like an animator, and im glad peter han addressed that!
Yes! When you lesrn animation, all of these information will become common to you
Wow he's skilled at both drawing and articulating his process.
Amazing information already ( 5 mins in, still watching! Loved the "vids we see on social media as an illusion!" section )
I remember the Draftsman podcast where Proko discussed with Marshall on how he constructs his illustrations ( the one with the wood chopping scene) on how he preps up the foundations before the ACTUAL, final piece.
The grind must go on to learn such an amazing skill.
Peter is a gem his teaching is always detailed and never gate keeps you really feel how he started from the bottom up
I like that, Peter shared what he 100% knows and at the same time, what he is struggling with because of that knowledge/mindset. Really great video!

Que didática maravilhosa
Ele explica cada passo com naturalidade e calma
