Course In Progress
A little pep talk for those of you who recently started your journey. When you were a baby, you learned how to talk by listening and repeating words, and you can learn how to draw the same way. Drawing is a way to communicate with pictures instead of words. I talk about training your mind and your hand with the right exercises and projects and how you can learn faster with the right mindset.

Hi everyone, My name is Lori, from the hot SW part of Arizona! To start, I am one who loves trying to draw, but wants to do a good job now…. I have been drawing, well sort of, as I am that person that does not finish a drawing because I’m too critical (adhd) of myself, and yes, I know that is wrong. Right now I would say I am very good at erasing and not so good at drawing. I have since retired, early, and really want to hold myself accountable and to commit myself to a training course. So here I am, I splurged on myself to subscribe to a couple courses, (oh watched many many Proko YouTube videos the past 6 years and he is the best), and will be an active participant and will want honest feedback… I definitely need/want the “right mindset”. 😊

good job. I would just say that the outline of your pear could be blended in, and the shadow could be a bit darker closer to the pear.. I am always to heavy with the pencil so kudos to you on your highlights…..

I've just begun my journey to a real education in art! I can't currently access the premium content at the moment, but I still decided to make an account and take what was free and available to me. I've been practicing art on and off for many years, but this is the first time I've tried to take a formal approach with real instructors. For the record, I think this site is a genius idea!

Hello everyone,
I’m starting this course again, but this time I really want to focus. Last time, I was very distracted. I took part in many courses, but I didn’t finish any. Now it’s time to take things step by step.
My goal is to draw in a very realistic way and, of course, to paint. I’m especially interested in still life, landscapes, and figure drawing/painting. My biggest challenge is that I get fascinated by too many things, which makes it hard to focus on just one.
I graduated from art school and realized that continuing to learn on my own is quite difficult. That’s why I truly appreciate this site because of its community. I believe having people to communicate with and support each other’s growth is incredibly important. Wish me luck, and I wish the same for all of you.

I've been learning to draw for a few months now. The free videos were essential for me so I feel this full course is going to do wonders. I'm excited to learn and excited to keep it fun.

Been drawing on and off for many years... but never with any real practice of the fundamentals. I'm just copying nice drawings I find online. I'm quite good at that (if I may say so myself haha), but I can't draw any other way. So, it's time I start to take this serious so that I'm finally able to create my own things!

"If you find yourself dreading the practice time, something needs to change, or you risk burning out."
What did you mean by this line? What's that something that needs to change?

Burnout happens when whatever you’re practicing is no longer sustainable.
Like people who try ridiculous and extreme diets to loose weight quickly. It doesn’t work over the long run. They usually gain the weight back.
Consistency over long periods of time is more important than what you can accomplish in just a few months. Enjoy the process.
Maybe change what or how you’re practicing if the process starts to feel dreadful.
Study a different subject or try a different medium. Perhaps a different environment to draw in. I like to go to the park.

I interpret it as a mindset change. Stan's point leading up to that line is that figuring out how to enjoy the process over the outcome is essential to make learning how to draw a sustainable process. It takes many years to become a skilled artist, so you have to be able to weather the rough patches.
What I got out of it is -- be patient, kind to yourself, and have faith that the work you are putting in, even if it's not as good as you'd like it to be, is vital to your progress and will pay off down the road.

¡Bienvenido! Pido disculpas por la traducción, utilicé Google Translate. Puedes seguir los vídeos en orden o seguir tus intereses. Si es un principiante absoluto, puede ser beneficioso comenzar en orden y, una vez que gane algo de confianza y conocimiento, podrá comenzar a explorar intereses específicos.
