    It's good to know that even masters don't come up with good ideas first time. I think that's what held me back for years: I just assumed if I studied the funamentals of a subject enough, I could just bang out an instant hit, and was frustrated when that never happened. But now I see it's only through iteration that workable ideas can surface.

    I’ve been following this channel for years, and proko 2.0 is a huge opportunity for artists that want to learn and get into the industry. The quality with which you explain stuff on this channel has no match, you always make sure that the communication flows 100%, and believe me, I’ve seen tons of tutorials, gumroads, courses, you are undisputed. I just wanted to leave this heartfelt message, because you helped me a freaking lot, and continue to do so, so thank you 🙏🏻 and good luck for the future

    Great articulation! I like the strategy of not judging your ideas too early. also thicc+chonk = profit. 4 years of art school and they never directly told us this.

    I love to study and learn these things. Its a pleasure to watch you sketching or doing your art but then i feel frustrated because what i do is not even close to the things you do. Of course you have years and years of study and experience. For a perfectionist is imposible not to compare our work.
    I admire you. Someday i will do illustrations like you.

  • @cosmicspacething3474

    I feel like you also gotta know when to tone everything down depending on what you’re designing for. So the design doesn’t become too complex to look at if you’re gonna animate it. You gotta be able to refine everything you’ve built up

    I think my favorite is the one with the scarecrow on the back and the enlarged arm on the other side without him holding the tiny PumpkinHead. The previous iteration looked like the PumpkinHead and scarecrow were competing for attention but in this one the scarecrow seems to be well balance.

  • @NotAppIicabIe

    I love this so much. I limit myself with art and make silly rules but honestly I enjoy messing with concepts and this motivates me to want to change concepts and not just stick and force myself to one thing. This is also encouraging me to actually write stuff down in regards to my process of creating.

    • @angieschaffer8233

      Brainstorming is an essential part of Art making, whether it’s for character design or something else. The point in art practice is to keep doing it to eliminate cliches (as much as possible) and to create original work. When I was in school, we had to show our brainstorming and thumbnailing stages and discuss them with mentors and classmates. If you have a two or three week project to plan for crit and portfolio, the first week is usually dedicated to brainstorming and thumbnailing.

    I don’t know why I find the cursing being censored so funny. Are there any kids watching proko? If they are good for them but it seems like a more mature art channel.

  • @osanneart9318
    @osanneart9318 3 роки тому +6

    In the next videos, could you adjust the censoring a bit? Scott Flanders speaks pretty softly, despite his use of curse words here and there. So blocking out the swearing with quite loud bleeps disrupts the flow of the video and is pretty distracting every time. It kind of makes the lesson harder to follow, especially when I (a deaf person) already had to turn up the volume to actually hear Scott well.

  • @AeolianMoonraker
    @AeolianMoonraker 3 роки тому +3

    HOW do you do this though? That lateral ability to just leap from an original idea to another. I can't do it, my brain is way too linear and literal. I'll sit for hours at a time trying to develop a character or idea and just get nowhere; it's driving me insane!!! It's gotten worse as well, I've been trying to write fiction and have gotten to a point where I haven't written a single line of prose in over five years. I can't develop my ideas beyond basic concepts. Aaaahh... I'm starting to think it's just a neurotype or something, and I'm trying to get into a profession I'm simply not wired for. :'(
