Hi @Mike Jara, on the same topic of downloads for this course, I just started chapter 1 and Marco mentions in the video that the linework file and brushes are available for download, but I can't find them in the download tab? ... Never mind. I found them on the Course Overview Page, not the specific Chapter/Lesson Download tab

Hey @Todd Archinal. Sorry about the sound issues you experienced. We've fixed those the volume on the recent streams. Going forward, we are going to find a way to have a moderator on Proko questions and YouTube. We appreciate your feedback. If you haven't seen David's livestream last week, https://www.proko.com/lesson/drawing-superheroes-with-david-finch/discussions

Thanks for the suggestion @lottain. I see how it could be useful. We will discuss its possibility for a future update.

Memorial Day couch sketching! It's been a long time since I've been able to sit down and sketch with no agenda and have fun. This was my first time laying out my POV in perspective, as well as some exaggerated gesture sketches from imagination (with a heavy nod to Marvel) as well as some Hogarth and Loomis study.

Can you guys speak a bit more about your note taking process in regards to learning? Have you incorporated a zettlekasten-like system at this point? Stan, what is that software that you mentioned using for your notes?

@Elvis Murray Stan uses a zettelkasten every day. From what I know, he takes notes from conversations, ideas he has on walks, and everything else from the day. Then he sorts those daily notes into permanent notes, makes links to other notes in the Zettelkasten. He uses Roam Research, which has a monthly fee. I use Obsidian. There are many other software to create a zettelkasten, like Notion, Remnote. If you are interested in starting one, it may help to read 'How to Take Smart Notes' by Sönke Ahrens.
