Im 30, and i started drawing as soon as i picked up a pencil. I often stagnate and feel like my progress is either lessened or I feel as though i should be better considering when I started drawing. I've always been self taught, learning tracing at first, then free hand copying images, and usually only drawing anime, cartoons, or a fusion of realism and cartoon faces. Your videos just inspired me to learn more realism and practice more often.

(shape, edge, value) or are in the section of line and emotion?

I think sketchy and uncertain lines tend to stem from some level of aphantasia (like glen kean). Lots of searching and relying on the lines we put down to find the ones that make sense as opposed to the ones that sometimes we're expected to already see in our heads. I'm pretty sure I have some level of it and, as a result, I do a lot of searching to find my lines. It does get easier with practice thanks to muscle memory and breaking complex objects into their basic shapes. It just means I'm slower than I want to be.

If he's not already mentioned: The artist Kentaro Miura. His work is an excellent example of how to use linework to express not only detail - grotesque, beautiful, and everything in between - but also MOTION, which very, very few can match. He's also an example of artistic growth, as in the beginning he was detailed and ambitious, but while certainly competent, hardly all that remarkable in pure skill, but by the end of his life he had become so good that each panel, no matter how small, was a shockingly detailed and vibrant masterpiece.

That's totally okay! The Basics course is set up to be useful for absolute beginners and intermediate students trying to brush up on their fundamentals. If you have the time where you'd be able to do both, you certainly can. Just make sure one doesn't suffer for you to participate in the other.

Thanks for the great video, Proko. But I still got confused with lines. I can use contour lines and construction lines to draw a cube, without any shading, but I can't just use these two kinds of lines to draw a litlle bump on a skull, as well as any other organic volumn. I come up with the conclusion that without setting a light source or using cross contour lines, we can't express organic volumn. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 😵‍💫

@skyhavender 3 ай бұрын

People say that when you draw you need to think big and relax and be loose with your lines. I just cant seem to relax because of you stan! 😠 It feels like every line is super important and you cant screw upp once because if you do its a failure. I cant stop using the Writing grip and i'm super tence. 😢 Overhand and all the others dont exist when i draw. I am so neevous and tense that i cant relax.

@JacksterDude12 Ай бұрын

Don't make it so big in your head/focus on an end result. I literally just grab an A4 piece of paper, and draw lines! Mess up? No biggie, draw a better line elsewhere on the page. A4 is plenty of space to mess up and improve. Place lines into practice with ovals, spheres and boxes. Not being afraid of messing up/looseness will open you up to relax, and translate that skill to your sketches 👍🏼

@partingmist8550 Жыл бұрын

I like to argue about how 'lines' are actually really narrow shapes. Idea is touched on in vid by calling shape a property of line. Its a bit funny though since shapes have more dimensions than lines. Would it be better to conceptualize shape design to include these very narrow shapes?, or are these narrow shapes so distinct from the not-so-narrow-shapes that it really is better to think of them as something other than shapes?

@vishtem33 Жыл бұрын

Outside of extremely constrained media types like pixel art or tiny thumbnails, I'd say that [thinking of line as a (painted shape) rather than a (drawn approximation of a infinitely precise vector)] is part of how to get from 'correct' to 'clean'. By which I mean it's a marginal payoff until you're already reliable with more basic things (big shapes and proportions). I'd say it's actually a definite problem to think that way routinely, if it's too early in your development, because it makes things more technical than you have developed the ability to deal constructively with. Proko's "lines express ideas" is a good framing because it pushes you away from narrow focus on technique.

The one thing I don't understand about any of your videos: whenever you're traditionally drawing a figure, you use diffrent geometric shapes for the body, and the slowly transition thoes into the actual body. You draw these construction lines with very clear and hard lines (like in 3:45 for example), so how do you get them to disappear after wards from the paper without ripping it or leaving a stain?

@ProkoTV Жыл бұрын

That's an age old question and has a few different ways to do it! You can draw more lightly so you can erase the sketch under your ink lines. Some people use very soft graphite in mechanical pencils so that the lines erase more easily. Some, like I do in this video, use a lighter colored pencil that won't pop out so much behind my darker final drawing. Hope that helps!
