Asked for help
I have a MAC desktop with a Safari browser. When I download the images provided in the Drawing Basics course, Safari will not open the files. I am referring to the image files. Not very tech savvy - any help to open these files will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there! @wellfleetman11 Sorry you are having issues with the downloads! Let's troubleshoot by asking the following questions: Does this happen with other browsers? Is your browser up to date? Do you have some kind of firewall or other plugins that might block the downloads? Even anitvirus software has been known to cause an issue or two with downloads. We also recommend you try clearing the cache in your browser and reloading the page. Let me know if any of this helps. You can also always find me at support@proko.com

I am a new to sketching. Looking for some advice. When I see some of the images that Stan critiques, I am thinking many of these drawings are pretty good then I look at my drawings and think wow not so good. As a beginner, is it common to be hesitant about one's drawings and being too concerned about how they look.

Don't worry, if you keep sketching your skills will improve quickly. Just keep doing the warm-ups Stan provided; they are a relaxing way to start the day while listening to some music.

Confidence comes with time and practice. These drawings are looking good. I like the expression on the penguin. He looks like he’s thinking. The only suggestion I have is to try starting with the longest lines of a drawing first. This will help you establish proportions and flow. Here’s how I might draw the penguin. Hope this helps. Keep it up and you WILL improve.

Don’t be concerned about proportions, that will come after time. Try to focus on general line quality. :)

I am a beginner at drawing so I have decided to post the pics of the boots. Had a difficult time as you can see in my work. Right boot, I used Stan's drawing to guide me. All of the below work that has been posted looks pretty good. If any of you are a beginner like me, all I can say, you have done a good job as a newbie. Any advice for me being new to drawing will be appreciated.
