Stan, will this course really start from zero? I bought the figure drawing course but I was a little bit overwhelmed since my basic drawing skills were / are not present and I need something which will start a little bit more from the beginning. The discount is very tempting to buy the course but I assume there is no refund next year if am not satisfied with it?

Yes! This course assumes you're starting with very little or no knowledge about how to draw.

This should be for you then. It sounds like a majority of the stuff you learn from a drawing 1 course in community college. If you have trouble with shapes, straight lines, negative space, line quality and pressure this should be the course that goes over all the basics!

Hey y´all!
What I really don´t get is, that Proko says that we should draw motion and not contour. But in the very first example at minute 1 he clearly draws the contour. So I really don´t get the difference at these examples. Sometimes it looks like contour somtimes not. The difference is clearly that we should focus on the movement the body does, I got that. But if we have the "movement" should we then surround it with contour? Hm.. that´s really tricky to get the hang of it :).
Maybe someone can bring light in here?
I think he means the overarching rhythm and flow. he doesnt want you to get caught up in every little shape but rathe the broad stokes through an around those shapes. in the first video "how to draw gesture" he describes this using the ball example. I would suggest rewatching that video. hope this helped (:
