This course resonates with me so much. My drawings improved so much when I took the time to give them stories and background instead of just being a reference to someone's art. It gave me more ideas for my pieces and that alone will give you endless freedom to create *your own* ...magic!

We make sure that our courses cost less than what it would cost to go to a traditional art school, much less having this many instructors coming together on one course. In that expensive art school environment, you only have those lessons the one time, maybe some handouts, and you have to attend at a certain time to take them. Our courses can be taken any time, rewatched, rewound and are a time-tested great learning resource for our students. This course's windowed exclusivity until 2031 is a first for us because of the big company collaboration. But it's by no means a guaranteed end to the course existing. That's just the current legal mumbo jumbo and can extend beyond that point, when it comes. We hope you do join the course eventually and get to experience the skill and wisdom of all these instructors!

[edit] I think I made a mistake here thinking it was a masterclass course because that ad popped up? Looks like the actual course is $250 on Stan’s site proko. He’s a years long student of Watts Atelier so anyone knowing that should realize how worthwhile this is in combining a course with pro Marvel artists. It’s as close as one can get without the opportunity for apprenticeship. This is the best team up course for comics I’ve seen. I mention Watts because something I think that’s vital to being a great teacher is being able to communicate and understand people psychologically in order to translate instruction into ways different people can understand and Watts has done this well and amazing teachers came from being students there. Obviously Stan being one them.

What equipment is required for the coloring section ? I ask because I do not have a tablet or any similar device and I have never worked on digital coloring or drawing. Do I need to buy a tablet or something similar ? Or I will be able to complete the coloring section with traditional ways of coloring ?
@ProkoTV 11 ай бұрын
You can absolutely work traditionally for the coloring section. The demos will be digital but that's not because the techniques and process breakdown are exclusive to digital. You can complete that section traditionally and apply the core content of the lessons to traditional work as well.

@ProkoTV 11 ай бұрын
That's not really something that I can decide for you without knowing a whole lot about your hardware, software preference and more. I like Wacom tablets but a lot of people use iPads and the Apple pencil now. For doing the coloring traditionally, use whichever medium you like best. Markers are great but expensive. Use what you have on hand first and then change it up if you feel the need.

Anatomy and Figure Drawing are two separate course. They're kind of like a branching path where you choose one or the other to start. Neither needs to come fist. If you want super technical knowledge, anatomy is for you. But if you prefer more free-flowing drawing, Figure Drawing will be better for you.

This must be the old-fashioned traditional way of making comics. The script is all printed and ready to go. The paneling, sketching, inking, coloring, flatting -- all done traditionally. I cannot imagine doing the traditional way. I do own my own art supplies, but my art supplies are for doodling and journaling, not comic-making. I much prefer to work digitally. On my iPhone and iPad, I just use my finger to do a lot of finger-painting. On desktop and laptop, I use my mouse or the laptop's trackpad.

Not old-fashioned. Just what this one instructor likes lol Across this course, we feature people who work exclusively digitally, traditionally, and others who work in a hybrid way. The section on covers features 2024 Eisner nominee EM Gist showing working in Procreate as well as doing an oil painting for a cover. We don't want to only cover one way of doing things for a course that covers principles that work for all types of comics-making.

I... don't understand how do people draw that much that well. Maybe I am broken after all. I can't physically get the good. Not even 1% of that good. Years of studies gave me nothing. I don't have a billion years and if I had I'd burn out the first 100 years. After this neverending failure. Seeing all these artworks makes me wanna hang myself. I have 0 chance, no fractions. Maybe I should indeed stop looking at others' art at all. It's literally like looking at birds dreaming of wings I'll never have. It only hurts. I'll yell at whoever says "you just need to practice". 20 fking years. If that practice wasn't enough, maybe it's time for me to go. I'm at point 0 but now I'm old and tired and the world is falling apart around me, filled with idiots and maniacs. Screw this all. Enjoy your godlike skills. That's freaking cheating.
