Has anyone here actually deeply, intently, and thoughtfully studied Proko's OG course, Figure Drawing Fundamentals?Stan seems like a better artist than Vilppu, Eviston, Dodson, and all other meme ic teachers combined. The only other teacher who draws better than him is Steve Huston. For those who did actually study Proko, what kind of gains did you make? Would you recommend it to beginners? intermediates? Would you even recommend it to pros?
it's good if you're not learning on your own, like any course.
>>7170393*cant learnyou arent going to get anything from any demo if you don't put in the work and self study and practice. He's a mediocre fine artist and a mediocre teacher. He's giving you the information that he learned from the school he went to - so why not just learn the basics that they teach at that school instead of getting them from a youtuber? Bargue plates, fundamentals of painting, etc. If you want to paint in a realistic way just observe, if you want to be able to build a figure from any angle from your mind, you don't need this course.
>>7170397>He's a mediocre fine artistreally? You really think so?post your wonderful work then
> Stan seems like a better artist than Vilppu, Eviston, Dodson, and all other meme ic teachers combined.lol, lmao you got filtered by dark core shadows
he didn't invented gesture, box mannequins and beans
>>7170595I know good overcast lighting when I see it ;)
>>7170601>picrellooks alright, needs fewer pixels though
>>7170390Courses are for people without talent or absolute beginners who don’t know what to do at all. Talented individuals learn by simply drawing from books they choose to pick up which happens because they know instinctively how and what to study
>>7170752unironically true, and while I'm not a beginner at line drawing, I am an absolute begginner at shading. Is there another course that will work better for me than Proko?
>>7170901To understand shading, you just need to grasp how shadows affect 3D shapes—such as the sphere, the cube, the cone, and the cylinder. You don’t need to spend $600 on a course to comprehend how shadows impact shapes. Instead, download Blender, click ‘Shift + A,’ and add the shape you want to study. Then, introduce a light source to the scene and apply a material to the shape. That’s it! This process will help you understand shading. The rest involves pure practice and applying these concepts to your workflows using techniques like airbrushing and oil painting.
>>7171414>you just need to grasp how shadows affect 3D shapes>shadows affect 3D shapesthis is funny but you're not going to be able to figure out why which makes it even more funny
>>7170901Want to shade a character? It’s the same process: use a human base mesh, add a light source, and practice moving the light source in different directions. There are plenty of human base meshes available on Blender.org
>>7170901cast drawing + primitive form practice. Also copy master works. Here's picrel.Do it in trad or it doesn't count. Also do 9 or ten value scales.
>>7171415ok bro good luck with your $1000 art curriculum
>>7171418what kind of finished works do you hope to make with this style?
>>7171422you will forever be crippled by your digital tools.
>>7171424its called fundamentals for a reason retard. it doesnt matter where you learn them.like asking why to learn perspective if you don't want to draw backgrounds.
>>7171422I sincerely doubt Stan was ever able to do the drawing on the right.
>>7171425and you will be forever ever paying $1000 courses without learning a shit, addicted to purchase expensive courses from mediocre artists
>>7171431i told him to draw master copies and do casts, not buy courses. you sure are fucking stupid.
>>7171433Ah, my bad, my fren. May God bless you, and have a beautiful night and godly fortune
>>7171418Nah man I’m fine drawing Chinese girls what the fuck is this westoid shit lmaooo
