Yes, please stranger who should be teaching fundamentals, I want him to do a course on cartooning, character design and style, and minimal animation for UA-cam if possible.
It's a helpful thing to do. Writing it down helps us remember that core of the idea, before our hands and nitpicking brains get in the mix and can mess up the idea. We can come back to that written down idea later and maybe get the result we pictured.

Ideas can sometimes not be the problem but just sitting down and starting something. It takes a lot of energy even thinking about how much energy it will take to finish lol. Like getting on a treadmill to lose weight etc. But once those flood gates open I usually dont have the speed to write down all the ideas that come in. Il look back over them later and use them to create something.
look... Idk how but as soon as I watched tip number 1 I started bursting with different ideas... I think when I watch this full video im going to burst with alot of ideas
Hi proko, thanks for the video! Sometimes i feel like I am not enough in art and i need to wait till November when i will learn art seriously at the academy and j feel like I really need to wait to create. But this, really makes me so depressed sometimes i don't want to go through all the stressfull parts of making a drawing because it annoys me What should I do 😭 Ps: as for the critique the Academy did on my projects they said that i am really good! And at the same time that they really see my artistic talent and will. But ofc they pointed out some really small mistakes that they told me it's because i Ve never done life drawing. I am from an artist highl school but i did graphic, i Ve always liked drawing humans though so i practices anatomy by myself a lot
Maybe consider what specific parts of a drawing you enjoy the most. For me, for example, I love the ideation and the sketching process, but I don't enjoy rendering or coloring as much. Overall, it's good to learn and practice a bit of everything if you're just starting out, but eventually, at some point in your career, you can focus and get more specialized. Depending on the type of art you wanna do, you don't necessarily need to be a "do-it-all".
@@liandroroger i think that i enjoy the ideation process and the coloring process, but sometimes i feel like I need to be a professional to draw well certain things so i don't spend much time on it, and this just demotivates me. For example i really like drawing portraits but i got kinda annoyed because i want to expand my art, but i don't know how I should. Thank u so much
@@Anastasiabruno I see! Having you tried getting some actual feedback on your current portfolio or most recent artworks? Sounds like the kind of thing that might help you figure out how you could improve or expand. You could use the Proko community for that ( proko.com/community ): create a post there, attach some of your drawings, give some context on what you wanna do, what you struggle with etc. and simply ask people to help you. Many of the users will be pleased to reply, plus there are some moderators and instructors (I’m one of them) which are constantly giving out critiques. You can feel free to tag me in your post there if you’d like me to comment on your drawings (@liandro). Hope this helps!
i love drawing, but i always draw scenery and imitate them. at first i do it as a practice to improve my drawing skills, but i ended up relying on redrawing what i saw. i can't make my own drawing from my imaginations. it's hard cause i cant call myself an artist though i can draw. this has been haunting me on and on, do i really have the talent for draw? i would love to hear suggest from all of u guys:)
You need more practice. Study bodies and practice constructing them. Do it A LOT and eventually those forms will be cemented in your head. It takes a long time, be patient.
@@khrystianadams8165 I agree with the other commenter here. Doing studies of forms in different forms and poses makes it memory. Something that you can call back to without even thinking because you already know it. Perspective, in particular, can be a challenge. But the human form is pretty organic and gives you space to bend and shape it to your visual storytelling needs.
My problem is either I have so much precious ideas I want to draw/make game/write them all NOW, then they 'walk away' a month or two later. Or shooting down ideas too fast.
Unfortunately, putting ideas into practice takes much longer than thinking of them. But taking notes is a fast way to keep a record of your ideas before they vanish - then, you can come back to them any time later.
I think it's also important to experience or watch things outside your normal comfort zone. It builds your library of stuff that you can put together to form ideas when you're creating.

Would you be able to make a video that helps people unable to visualize or think in a 3D space while drawing in 2D? When using references simultaneously, I struggle with wrapping lines around forms. Furthermore, I suffer from dyslexia and ADHD, which impair my ability to think clearly.
Fellow ADHD artist 💕 I don’t have great advice aside from using references and keep you creative space as clear of distraction as possible but hi, you’re not alone.
I found out I had aphantasia a few years into my art journey, and I’ll tell you right now that it doesn’t stop me from working in 3D on 2D even finding out that fact. The way I see it, the canvas is a reflection of my mind. Blank. That is, until a put down a line. Suddenly, that line is in my “mind” (really, it’s what I see with my own eyes). What I’m saying is, you don’t need to visualize in your mind. The way I learn is pattern recognition, so I understand art concepts through rigorous repetition and breakdowns of objects and artworks. Experiment it on the canvas where you can fully see it. I don’t know much about dyslexia or ADHD, but I find that people who find out they can’t visualize (especially in r/aphantasia) tend to limit what they think they can and can’t do. Don’t let that stop you from finding other means of learning art
When we're excited to draw something good, we tend to create expectations, sometimes too high, and this can lead to frustration. When there's less attachment to the outcome, it's easier to get surprised and actually end up liking what we did. Weird, isn't it?
Ohhh this is so relevant to me right now. I've been struggling with this EXACT idea for a couple of months, and had a really hard time finding some relevant advice, but this is exactly what I needed to listen to. Thanks guys :)
I’m struggling with motivation, I can’t draw longer than one and a half hour without losing energy. I always seem to procrastinate towards the end of finishing my drawings.
Hey Kevin, have you tried taking more breaks? There’s a helpful thing called “The pomodoro technique”, which suggests alternating between hyper focus and short breaks. Maybe do some searching on it, if you’re interested.
Great ideas. I'm new at drawing and the troubles I keeps having is that I have this big piece of paper and I still draws things small. Why can't I make it bigger.
I just want to quickly remind myself and everyone else about what I think is the most important step into becoming creative AND productive. Stop entertaining yourself with online activities, UA-cam or movies etc. Use less time, or ideally not any time (few minutes each day is acceptable) online. Just invest more time in your art and creative process/troubleshooting figuring out stuff - just do it and keep doing less "garbage" as most of us tends to do. It will pay off eventually. And last but not least, use reference photos for everything - it will really make a huge difference in you evolving and learning faster.
I'm sorry but step three had and specific idea not creative it's like as you did someone choose topics u already wrote but he the one choose what u draw
Would you like Liandro to teach a course on Proko? Let us know in the comments!

Just the video I needed. Thank you Proko ! (I will never pay a single dollar for any of your course, I swear it on my family's honor.)
You need an Attitude Adjustment, John! But I appreciate you being here and working on your art skills.
What about 0 ideas. Literally 0.

Take a verb and add a character to it, if you can’t think of a character start with a stick figure performing the verb.
