Asked for help
Here are my latest results from last 2 night’s Day 12 of 12 Days of Proko. Done from 57 seconds to 1 minute per pose. So, what do you think, @Stan Prokopenko and @Marco Bucci ? @Polyvios Christoforos

I currently use a .5 or.7 mm mechanical pencil when drawing. Does this type of pencil limit how I should be drawing, i.e.: line quality, etc.?
If I'm honest, I really hope you team up with other high profile artists and teachers to do something to stop this. This video showed me that the developers of this technology are either lying or incredibly naïve, and given that they are charging money for these tools its probably the former.
The fact that they are selling a program that was built off the copyrighted work of innumerable independent artists and corporations is absurd. This guy basically responds to the issue of the copyrighted work in their dataset by saying it doesn't matter. That somehow, they are not responsible for the data they trawled off the web being full of stuff they had no legal permission to use. He then claims that even if they did remove it, it wouldn't change anything. But that is a lie: if they didn't need it, they wouldn't be using it. Its inexcusable, and the fact that they already did it is no reason we can't hold them accountable. Please team up with other creators to file legal action against them.
AI is going to be a big part of the future, but as Steven Zapata pointed out, we do not have to roll over an accept it being done in a way that has zero respect for the people that came before it. AI still has a long way to go before it overtakes the industry completely, so there's still time to at least try to soften the blow and make sure these people who blatantly stole from others are held accountable for it.
You've helped me so much with art, and for a few years I genuinely believed art could be my future. I believed it could be the future of so many others as well, and eagerly pointed them to your content so that we could learn and grow together. Now I am pleading with you to do what you can to stop people from stealing the work of others. You have the power to really represent a lot of artists, both big and small. Please do something.

Why the two horizontal pointed protrusions on the top of the shoulder? Or, is this just you taking "artistic license"?

Come on guys. ONLY 3 episodes? You might want to extend that, if you both have the motivation to do so.

Hi Steven:
Have you ever tried 'cordless' electric erasers! The 'set of two' I purchased, has 2 sizes of erasers you can interchange, using the provide size adapters. These erasers can be handy depending on what you're trying to accomplish. (Click on the picture to enlarge)

As most always, I really enjoyed your discussion. Sometimes your 'bird walks' may get
slightly off-point, but I seem to always enjoy them anyway.
In one (or more) of your episodes, it would be interesting to see the artistic progressions and/or deviations you both have taken through out the years of you both doing your art.
Thank You,
