I'm going to try and complete Proko anatomy in 30 days.

Sol Art!
I know this is sort of a dumb challenge, but I thought it would be a fun and silly undertaking. I'm going to use this thread to post my results! Also I'm making a youtube series about it. May the universe have mercy upon my soul.

Wow, you did it!!!
@Sol Art!, I’m only catching up now and I’m stunned. At first, I would‘ve thought your challenge was just crazy hardcore - amidst a car crash, COVID and hospitalization, I would have said it was impossible. But my skepticism and arrogance have been proved wrong, and, above everything, I’m happy to know that you have survived all this and (hopefully) are doing fine now!
I’m glad to know that, during the difficult parts where your health demanded attention, you were able to soften your discipline and take things a bit more gently on yourself. I guess having this kind of flexibility is part of what allowed you to go through the entire challenge. More than just anatomy, this endeavor must have taught you a lot about perseverance and resilience.
It’s also cool to see the boost on your YouTube channel as a side gain! Although, of course, the learning and the practice mileage you got must have been your most valuable rewards in this adventure.
Overall, congratulations on this accomplishment! I’m sure you must be motivated to do a lot more stuff - hopefully, your next projects will come with more sustainability and smoother hurdles! 🙂
Thank you so much, man!! I really appreciate it :) Yes I feel like future projects will be on easy mode so long as there aren't any crazy major life events happening haha! It was super fun to make my videos and learn with Proko's lessons, overall I'm just excited to make more art!
Day 30 Recap video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T3-4o_SfdY -- Thanks so much for following along !! :D
24: Leg bones! Sorry the invention half of these is legit so bad. But I have to move on due to challenge constraints! But I will definitely return to them!

Hi @Sol Art!, nice studies! Good gesture and nice sense of form!
- You might want to use fewer lines. As a by-product the drawings will become cleaner, but the main reason is to help you be more clear to yourself about your decisions about the anatomy, forms and design.
- The angle of the thumb ends up incorrect in some places. As a short-cut you could think of it continuing the angle of the wrist.
Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
DAY 22: Lower arm muscles! Woweeee content! I’m going to hold off on a video today because the lungs are still sorta shot, but I’m trying to keep up with all my assignments!
Hi all, my covid got so bad I had to be hospitalized today (asthma = owch), but I've gotten out of the hospital now and should be able to do a video for tomorrow! Life throws funny things at me, haha. At least my arm still works!
oh no! I am sorry to hear this! Glad to see you are okay, most important thing!
Sol, first of all excellent youtube videos, so much youth and passion for drawing gave me back something of my younger self. I congratulate you for the challenge and for how you are advancing. I hope you recover soon, I am in favor of being demanding with yourself but when it comes to health issues is better that your priority is to recover well. I hope you are feeling well.
UPDATE: Hi all, so last night I got in a pretty gnarly car crash (minimal injuries), but my torso and shoulder are pretty bruised up now, so I'm going to take some time off to recover. I believe I'll be able to make up the work for then, but if you don't see any new updates this is why!! All the best + thanks:)
DAY 12: Neck!!! Jeez this one was sort of tricky!! Have to come back to it when I get good.. EPIC vlog update? -> https://youtu.be/WuhY4Cd6ujQ
