    I started my career change as an artist by watching Proko's tutorial series, this was back in 2015. Now, it's 2022, I'm now a professional artist working on a video game studio and it's been a pleasant experience to revisit/relearn stuff from your channel. My humble beginnings started on this channel! Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication!

      @@scoob2263I do apologize for the late response, as for my advice, especially when reaching your dreams, there will be always a way (nothing is impossible for a well-determined person) but do understand the process and importance of hard labour & setbacks that will surely come..you cannot always have a shortcut, but there is no magic at all..just keep embracing the pain and the process..keep learning, take baby steps, and be the best of yourself everyday by investing upon thyself. lastly, always value the importance of proper network. If you have a chance to forge a connection with an art professional, don't miss that chance. I hope this helps good luck to your endeavor ;)

      I believe it's just a charcoal pencil. People who draw with their shoulder and not just their wrist hold a pencil like that and that's why it works so well. Using your shoulder allows for a greater range of motion that your wrist alone can't achieve

      @ncshuriken 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I wouldn't maybe focus so much on these "construction" methods/ temples/guides, especially if you're already having trouble with this stuff. To me they actually make thing's more complicated to draw (first I gotta draw a circle, then this shape, then that shape, then 2 discs and a grid thang etc, just wanna draw a head!!!). What I do is just draw the head from scratch (usually start with the cranium/dome, regardless of head angle). Sometimes it will look very wrong (especially if new to drawing without "construction") but when you've drawn heads this way for long enough, you can usually get the right shape (to my eyes) with only 1 or 2 attempts. I think you just need a good idea of what the shape of the head "should" look like, and Im guessing this just comes from pure practice.

    Very interesting using an Afro model. I did portrait painting in Africa for several years and instinctually struggled with the lengths and set of the jaws! My brain was used to European and it took a while to appreciate that most of the beautiful African I painted had a fundamentally different set and proportion! I’d like to mention my favorite model, a refugee from Zimbabwe called Lwazi who could sit motionless for hours with a perfect expression of peace radiating from her. When I asked her how she managed this she just replied in her equally beautiful voice

    First of all, thank you a lot for this video! You are one of the best resources for learning I have ever found. From editing, to music and humor, everything is on point.
    I have a question in regards to one aspect of the loomis method: In your older video you draw the (as you put it) rythm of the cheek/jaw from the chin to the ear, in this new video you draw it from the chin to the top of the forehead. What is the benefit of doing it that way or is it more a head to head situation? If anybody else knows, feel free to answer as well!
    Again, thank you so much!

    • @ProkoTV
      @ProkoTV  6 ปีที่แล้ว +137

      They’re just two different rhythms. The one from the forehead to chin attaches the side plane of the jaw perfectly to the side of the cranium. So it makes more sense as two forms that lock together. The one across the cheek defines the cheek bone which is an extension off the side plane.

      Hey, I used to do the exact same, but I've found that I tend to give too much of a boxy shape to what I'm drawing, but when I started implementing both systems, using the box to place it in space, and then the Loomis method to define 3D shapes, everything got way better

    Hey Proko, great video, what do you think about people who think Loomis is famous now only because his books were free in the early days of the internet? Im pretty sure appreciation from Loomis was there since forever, but there seems to be a bunch of scrubs these days claiming that Loomis is useless and his only redeeming qualities were being able to get the books for free. I know you have a classic training background at art school, so could you tell us what was the position regarding Loomis at Watts and how useful is for advanced artists compared to other methods? Sorry for the long question

      I'm not proko, but I started to draw with Loomis, and I didn't know the books were free, sincerely Andrew is a master, and he showed us how he does things well.
      I think anyone who can't draw simple forms, has no power to critique serious artist like him, and the way he teachs makes me think its easier than I spected...
