Hello there. I think this is a very interesting topic. And a chance to bond with other people. And their stories. So let me share with you my,,why,, ?I used to draw when I was a small kid, tracing characters from my favourite comics. But not really that often. I was not that often seen with a pencil. Yes. My father showed me a beautiful drawings, made back then on amiga100, that I was so fascinated about. Yes I had a tendency to design things and I was close to drawing, but I have not spent so much l time with it. But it was there🔥. And how Life went on, I lost my father in a young age, I got sick and healed. Abd during this time I kept my dream with myself. I wanted to master drawing. I wanted to become good at something. And I decided for art. Since that, everything I draw, there is a legacy in each drawing I make. I admired concept artists. And I wanted to be like them. I made an agreement with myself. Ok. I will take drawing seriously and invest everything in it I have. And let’ s see, where it brings me., 🔥💪🙂 I love to design things. And to be able use my imagination and transform it into drawings, I find it so cool👍

Okay, I am retired from the US Army and need to restart my sketching and will take some basic course to learn what I need to know and more up the ladder in knowledge and Well I also like Comics?

hi. i draw since i can remember. at childhood it was just fun like any game. it was a game for me. i took it seriously and go to art class when i was 20. i really love cartoons and caricatures and i had ideas i wanted to draw. i have adhd . it made my progress slower. but i loved drawing so much that i continued. im 38 now. 18 years past since i took drawing seriously. i have art blocks somedays and somedays i question myself like you about drawing. and i stoped drawing for a few days and even weeks some times. but i always got back to it. because i feel useful when i draw. and im good at it. u need to love drawing so u can continue practicing because its a hard road. and it needs a lot of persistence.

I love drawing, always have but never really learned the fundamentals. I have ideas that I cant manifest because its so obvious how many gaps there are in my knowledge. I'm older so this probably isn't going to end up being a career but I cant let go off the "itch" to create and now getting my kids into it I want to be able to fully immerse into the journey with them.

I think drawing is fun and rewarding, but I also want to make video games so having this skill will help with concept sketches, storyboarding, etc. for the various pipelines. Painting will also be great for that purpose too!

I always wanted to have a creative side of me and drawing always seemed like something I always enjoyed even when I was a kid. Last year I decided to make it to a hobby and tried teaching myself and did a 1 year art challenge. I eventually completed it and realized how much I like being creative. It is an escape for me where I don't worry about anything besides drawing and I feel really happy afterwards. I decided that I want to take my skills to the next level so which is why I enrolled to proko.

I’ve always dreamed of being a professional artist in the entertainment industry. I have always been interested in character design and lately I have been extremely drawn to concept art for film. I have a lot of ideas, but it is hard to translate them into paper or digital work without the proper knowledge to do so. That’s why I’m working on learning my fundamentals first. Art has always been part of me & I want it to be part of me until my last day. Also, I want to make a living doing what I love.

I want a productive hobby that I can zen into, and art seems to be it. It soothe my soul when I focus hours into it. At first I want to just draw whatever and having fun, but at some point, I realized I want to get better with it! Asked some professional friends about tips and that lead to proko youtube channel. After watching some videos and realizing that drawing is not just feeling thing, it have methods to the madness, it can be scientified, it can be analyzed, I eventually became obsessed with Art!! My goal is to be able to draw from imagination, design, illustrate whatever I have in my mind. Right now my imagination is not even a sharp visualization yet so I have a long way to go, but its the learning journey that actually I'm in loved with!

A part of it is the dream of somehow wanting to make a living through art. But mostly it's because I want to be able to draw anthromorphic characters and I already write quite a bit of fanfiction. And I would like to be able to go from just writing to making a comic.

I really like the idea of being to draw my ideas. I like coming up with concepts for themeparks and funny things I think of, but I struggle to draw them in a way that looks aesthetic. I think if I could draw them aesthetically I would enjoy more!
