Oh gosh, I’ve fallen off the Proko lessons train. Lots of excuses and lack of motivation. Must kick myself into gear.

Thank you for spending so much time with the critiques. It was interesting to see others work and hear your input.

When you can't decide on Level 1 or Level 2. I thought it might be fun to try it on gray paper. Everyone's work is inspiring! Happy to be learning with you all!

Feedback appreciated on my first assignment done before Stan’s demo level zero student

Here is Project One. I start this course with an injured dominant elbow, so this drawing is done with my non-dominant (right) hand. I got the idea from Professor P. I hope that I have my left hand back soon.

Thanks Proko, this was great, I wanna try them all. Instead of a razor blade I use a skinny box cutter. It holds a long skinny blade with grooves. When it gets dull you just snap off a piece with a pair of pliers and you've got a new sharp blade. You can do that for a long time before you get to the end and have to put a new blade in. Plus the wheel loosens or tightens the blade so you can safely move the blade back into yellow the casing when you are not using it. I also tape the blades before trashing them. Hope this helps, happy drawing!

I’m a beginner and I just sharpened my stylus. Wait for it…..no I didn’t

Cool, but the course itself could already start, we don't need another week to absorb information about pencils :))

Warm ups with fountain pen. Drawings done from reference photos turned upside down and using blind contour

I hoard art supplies more than use them. Hoping to turn that around with this class and a daily habit of having fun while making art. This was relaxing and enjoyable, which I need to remind myself art as a hobby is supposed to be. Looking forward to the basics course!
