Hey crew, i recently bought this course to help me back up into the drawing world again after taking a bit of a break from it. I learned drawing at my local community college but like I just stated took a break. So I am jumping in this course to refresh my memory of learning to have fun drawing again after a bit of a break. So I am glad to get back into the swing of things again. especially with prokos company.

First drawing. I am using procreate on iPad instead of a real physical pen or pencil. Is that okay for beginners? Also this drawing was done with shaping other than lines. Did I miss the point of the exercise?

This feels like a silly question, but here goes. I think it's been stated in this course and in the Draftsmen podcasts the importance of having a community and receiving feedback. I feel bad just taking critique and not paying that forward or reinvesting into the community, but at the same time, I don't feel very qualified to give feedback since I'm so new to drawing and art in general. Should I still attempt to do so, despite these feelings? I suppose I could always preface my posts with a statement that I'm a beginner.

IMHO, you shouldn't feel bad about not being able to offer critique yet. Like you said, you're still learning! But certainly you can offer compliments, or tell folks what you like about their art. I wouldn't lie or exaggerate to make someone feel good, but I love telling folks when they've inspired me or blown me away!

Hey Gang! Just joined to polish my fundamentals! It's something I kinda rushed past out of sheer enthusiasm and lack of focus or mentorship or community! So, I'm keen to start or join a group of like-minded enthusiasts! You can find me here or on instagram or the drawingFORCE Discord server @the.y.method. I'm always good for a critique if you need one or are stuck, or some encouragement and reinforcement if you're feeling down! Have fun drawing and making art!

Day one I think went a little heavy on the shading

So happy i found this community and site!! Couldnt have found Proko at a more crucial time. Struggling at life, overwhelmed by past mistakes, and intimated society's depictions of "success". I was starting to spiral down the self-hating drain again. I was lost in a bad place in my mind. I felt really alone and defeated. One day my therapist gave me a homework assignment, "I want you to paint your feelings." I wasnt prepared for the level of difficulty this task came with. Oddly enough, i really developed a passion for drawing and visual art while i was in jail. Being locked up in a 8x8 cell for 17 months really changed me; the way i see things, how i spend my time, and what i value in life. But I'd never tried to actually paint anything. It was really hard but i took advice from people online and sat, uncomfortably, for a long time with myself. It took me several weeks to complete the small 10" x10" "emotions painting" but i discovered a few things about me in the process and i had created something visually that i was really proud of! Well, that was two months ago. I want to just see if maybe theres something healing for me in creating visual art. Thank you thank you thank you for creating proko! My gratitude for this resource is unparalleled. #lifesaver #feelingoptimistic #somethingtolookforwardto #arttherapy

Oh Alexis!! So brave to share this with the community!! I have to add I also feel art can be so hugely empowering in the area of self mastery and mental development!! I think you are onto something!!! Awesome!!! One step at a time you can set yourself free!!!
