I know you teach a lot about simplifed geometric forms to build up more complex objects and creatures. But how should one aproach the point where the structure is laid in and it's time to make it more complex and add detail?

Thank you Proko team and specifically Stephen for the amazing moderation during the stream and keeping the conversation lively and interesting. And thank you to all you beautiful misfits for your questions :)
Question : is this course complementary to the full program ? How much is répétitive of what’s available on artword ?

Hi Raphaelle,
The first modules of the course contain content provided in the Beginner Course on Art-Wod. Whereas the new modules (observation, education, imitation, imagination) have completely new content aimed at creature design (dragons).
With live demonstrations and targeted assignments.
All in all the course has around 13 hours of content.
Antonio congratulations on the way you break down the subject of drawing

thank you, Manuel :)
IIs is there any advice on drawing like jc linedecker structure + Glen Ken gesture is that possible?
•

Definitely possible, just a matter of trying to repurpose the style of these two onto your own mannequins and designs. And not try to blindly copy their drawings.
So for instance, you design a knight character, but then you try to render it in Leyendecker's style, or give it gesture like Glen Keane.
Question: what exactly is concept art? what are the things that i should be good at ?
what is the difference between environment and concept design ?
What advice would you give to someone in their late 20s looking to move from a corporate desk job to a career in art (without prior art training)?
Question: Is character/costume design a part of concept art? I'm having trouble differentiating the difference.
I know you teach a lot about simplifed geometric forms to build up more complex objects and creatures. But how should one aproach the point where the structure is laid in and it's time to make it more complex and add detail?

That will be covered in the final module :)
Any tips for people who want to break into the industry this year? Are environment designs still not as saturated as characters?
As an artist, if you get a tattoo, what do you think about having other artists' art on your body? Do you prefer that or making your own art?
QUESTION: Is this dragon a Disckworld reference? Have you read "Guards! Guards!"?
I asked for health issues by the way. Wrist pain and that sort of stuff. Not so much from burnout but, would be the same?
I am at a point of my life where I really have to focus on my studies even though I plan to pursue art as a career... But I often have to sacrifice on my art cause of it and people around me just seem to be getting better and better, what should I do?
At what point, when talking to a student, do you think someone needs coaching more than to learn every other art skills for tackling employment and freelance stuff.
QUESTION: Do you know of someone who has have to rest from art and come back? And do you know how do he/she do it?
Is it a good idea to use to use your anatomy videos to learn 3dcg sculpting. Can drawing fundamental apply to 3d Sculpting?
Just curious is the art in the course created in traditional media or is it all digital?
im trying to increase my skill, so i wanna ask about did i better learn few fundamentals together or should i focus for 1 fundamental and move to another one while train others fundamental i learnt ?
I'm just now starting to build my portfolio. If I want to work as a character/creature/prop designer (whatever the title is) how should I find companies to potentially apply to and portfolios/examples of what I should include?
Also, where are some good places to get to know others in the community? Thanks!
