You are so animated, Proko, teamed with a vivacious personality. Such good stuff, the way you put together all the elements of black, grey and white makes complete and total sense. Its wonderful that you bring this portrait to life on paper the way you do. Unique and well-rounded techniques, practised over years and finally letting our eyes feast on... such great visual candy! Thank you for doing this for us! So Appreciated and so glad to have stumbled upon you guys...
Oh, about 2 minutes more to take some of the squareness off the chin line. Also, maybe 1 min to shave a little off the height of the nose. Then, this would have been NAILED!!!! As it stands, the subject looks more WARRIOR masculine in the drawing than visible in the photo. However, if I observed the subject's right profile, this might be SPOT ON, LOL😁🤣😂. Nonetheless, GREAT WORK!!! I am just always thinking about the DOPPLEGANGERS. So, as we know a millimeter or centimeter off, and you end up having a different person. SO SCARY TO THINK ABOUT. Thanks for the lesson. I need ALL THE TUTORING/PRACTICE I can get.
Oh thank you. Gonna get me some charcoal n graphite powder. Hero doing it live and talking at the same time! Look fwd to finding more. Do you draw animals.? 👏🤩✌️✨
I hate outlining so after I'm done, I make a bunch of copies for the mistakes I make that become a point of no return lol Then I get a new outline and start over
Hello Proko, I seen a video that a person used water. Would you be able to erase if you used this method? Thank you for the videos they are really a good learning experience. Have a wonderful safe day. 👍👍
Sorry, Stan, but I strongly disagree with your assessment and timeframe of grid use. When I was a kid, grids in puzzle/coloring books skyrocketed my skill. It taught me to accurately visualize proportions and trained me to visualize a grid for more accurate transfers from visual to paper. Grids are a very beginner technique, training the hand and eye. It should be done from the beginning. Doing it years later will be pointless. The top of the model's nose cartilage should have been the middle line. His face is in quarters, not thirds: forehead, eyebrows down to top of nose cartilage, nose cartilage to midline of mouth, and midline of mouth to chin area are all generally the same length. Thirds is only one type of face. You get eyes wrong because you draw the way you think eyes look based on your training and not the actual planes of the eye in front of you.
@@myles5158 I look at the subject in front of me, not at the library in my head. The library is for creating fantasy characters, not for copying what's right in front of you.
If it helps to get going why not, so long as it doesn't become a crutch to lean on. The goal should be to mentally access proportions and then accurately execute without the use of measuring devices. It's the artists right-of-passage.
a rare occasion we see Proko drawing
Word.

Watching this convinces me to be more patience with my drawing process. Even professionals like Stan also makes mistake!

2:10. BlackWing matte. I have an irrational affection for the brand. Thanks for the free class.
I used to think that charcoal and graphite don't go together this has helped me
1:23:40> the edge effect. super important. like everything else.
Proko, one of the best artists of 21st century
Proko you draw very well!
He took my critique!! wow!
What brilliant work this man has been doing 🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥
2:47:00 😆 the babies better be ready for Ethan the big guy😆

@@artistsukh1127 big peeas 😏
Stan was like please don't disturb me I'm drawing! Can't u see

I hate outlining so after I'm done, I make a bunch of copies for the mistakes I make that become a point of no return lol
Then I get a new outline and start over
I always use my hand to smudge when using charcoal. :)
Why not Rembrandt for the best top 3 portrait artists?
Hello Proko, I seen a video that a person used water. Would you be able to erase if you used this method? Thank you for the videos they are really a good learning experience. Have a wonderful safe day. 👍👍

Please
Wah
Drawing
32:26
I think the right eyes on the right side is too light
✨✨✨
1:19:20 it's pronounced "Ko-Hay Nu-er"
But how would you draw shadows without the reference!
Visual library
What’s the name of the site where the image is from?
here it is: www.proko.com/tool/academic-bundle-reference-pictures/overview
the drawing kind of looks like jerma
last changes to eye - a bit too much and lost some of the details of the left eye overall great portrait x

So how do you do it

1:14:42 is looking like a dog or wolf anything after u modify!
At some part it looks like Kurt Cobain for me
I recan that after 1 hour you just rushed it, like you where losing your patience or focus.
Why did you keep wrong thumbnail?
The thumbnail for the livestream was made before the sketch...so it's not wrong per se
You draw Perfect proko 👍, i saw this full video , a small thing to share to you . I think his porhead is small
You mean skin pores?
@@VishalNamani no bro his foreheads size relation looks a littlebit small in height
Proko bro, 15 m of talking and no drawing action, its like your afraid our avoiding.
It would be much better if you could speak and work at same time.
doesnt look like him
CEASAR SANTOS better than him.
I don't think art is about being better than the other guy...or girl.
@@eringabrielle8932 I agree
Sorry to say so, but more is OFF than not, with this drawing... Part of the problem is that you stop-to talk-way too often.
Great stuff
