Studying is hard work!! I try to make what I am studying relevant to my personal interests, it's hard to look forward to drawing yet another uncomfortably posed naked model. So, say I have to practice figure drawing, maybe it could be a pose from a reference of someone you are interested in like a celebrity or a family member, a superhero in a fight scene or original character or whatever. I like to draw with music on because I tend to find it can make my mark-making more interesting/fluid and can help influence a 'vibe' for the kind of image I'm creating, If you like the vibe it's much easier to get excited about completing it (and doing it in the first place). At the end of the day I'd say as long as you keep drawing, and enjoying what you are drawing, (whatever that is) you aren't getting worse. The learning process takes so sooooooooo long, if you find it boring, its simply not going to get done (let's face it) so it's just about trying to find ways that it appeals to you but you're still learning fundamentals. If it takes you a little longer to learn this way then so be it, the point is that it gets done and drawing does not equate to suffering, you allow yourself a bit of creative freedom and you can develop a personal style with ease, grow in confidence in something you actually enjoy and then when you really want to study the nitty-gritty you have the energy to do so. Well at least that's my process anyhow :) and I have ADHD so my attention span on anything starts at like minus 100 ;D

What a cool idea. Love it!

Hi this is my first time of posting on Proko.com, and here are some of my gesture drawings I’ve done using photos from Tokyo Olympics. I appreciate any feedbacks on these! (I’ve always had trouble drawing figures, and I want to get better at it)

Hellooooo, my name’s German and I’m from Los Angeles, CA! I’ve been following Proko since I was a boy (currently 21) and am just so grateful for the amount of quality content that is provided on a regular basis. I’m loving this site!

Hello, I am looking forward to creating in an art community where I can learn and share knowledge. :D I work for a small games company making mobile game art but I still need to keep my fundamentals up to scratch!  My dream is to make comics where I can subject the world to the utter abomination that is my mind :P.  - apologies.

Helloo :). I like this a lot, very colourful and happy :D. I would say though, that the lama's tongue gets lost a little amongst the woman's clothes. I would either draw it so that the tongue is against the background some how, or, make sure that the woman's clothes are a more contrasting colour/shade. You need to be able to 'read' the image even when squinting. I like her expression :D
