Is it worth paying for proko?
>>
>>2478308
>paying
Just pirate it
>>
>>2478308
Or you can just read it from the masters that taught him. Everyone acts like he's some sort of pioneer but all he's really doing is just repeating advice read from the likes of vilppu and loomis. Infact, just youtube search vilppu and watch him draw. I promise you will be better for it then hearing it through some nerd re-hashing it for 70$ a piece
>>
I think so, yes. Proko can be a silly fuck but he compartmentalizes the teachings of Loomis and Vilppu in an efficient way.
>>
>>2478325
Different approaches, no reason not to listen to both. If you want clear instruction Proko is a lot more direct than Vilppu as well, not to mention his videos have actual production value. Very hard to follow along with Vilppu with the constant sounds of students shifting in their seats and coughing and flipping through paper being louder than his voice.
>>
anatomy series on cgpeers when?
>>
>>2478325

That's bullshit. Proko has his own take on teaching, I don't remember seeing Vilppu using 3d models in his teachings. His anatomy course is well worth the money.
>>
>>2478308
Is that his work or a students? Because... that is pretty awful
>>
>>2478308
judging from the pic you posted and if it's from him, why the fuck would anyone want to learn from that ?
>>
>>2478486

He has made some less appealing drawings for sure. Vilppu too. Doesn't mean they aren't great at what they do - teach anatomy.
>>
>>2478486
What is wrong with the picture?
>>
>>2478526
it doesn't look like Hulk Hogan like it's supposed to?
>>
>>2478325

That's like saying "why read history books when you can read the source material?"

Yeah, you SHOULD read the source material, but that doesn't mean having an experienced guy give you his interpretation and input / put it into a more digestible format isn't useful.

Also I've never heard anyone make any implication he's any sort of pioneer. Half the time he comes up it's generally "Read Loomis but if you want a quick intro to his technique watch Proko's face tutorial because he summarizes it."

>talking shit when it looks fine

sure, its not the greatest, but look at the anatomy and shades. I like it. I looks like an example. Fuck off
>>
>>2478317

>>
>>2478365

Anons on this board would shit on Robert Beverly Hale if he posted drawings here just because 99% of /ic/ is shit posting trolls.

You could post a technically perfect drawing and at least one reply would be

>elbows too pointy wouldn't fug/10

tier.
>>
>>2478959

more like robert beverly fail am i right or am i right?
>>
no. his drawings are crude copies of mediocre drawings at worst and mediocre copies of mediocre drawings at best. learn from the masters.

art is a luxury. you need to set your standard to the very best if you're going to have any success in it. mediocrity in art is a waste of time.

lol

i like how he presents the material. yes it is mostly based off loomis and some other masters but he is a good teacher and goes straight for the point. if u find loomis' books overwhelming, starting with ptoko then come back to loomis later will give u more confidence and head start. good god i hated fun with a pencil but his other books are good. then i tried proko and it was more fun to learn but then i realised that he is not as in depth as loomis and skipped some techniques. but watch them as a refresher yeah
>>
>>2478575
>Hulk Hogan

dyel?
>>
>>2478308
I like him. He doesn't cut corners and doesn't accept mediocrity. Watching him do the crit videos is the funniest shit. He just shreds their garbage.
>>
>>2478526
notice the wrists also the arms in general. if that was my level i wouldn't feel comfortable charging for advice.
>>
>>2478317
this
>>
>>2481636
go on, red line it , i dare you
>>
>>2481648
>redline a pencil drawing

what?
>>
>>2481636

>you have to be really good to make money in art-related professions

When will this meme die? Stop making excuses for not supporting yourself from art.
>>
>>2481678
>Stop making excuses for not supporting yourself from art

not him but why would i want to do that? art a path of self discovery and personal growth not something to make quick cash and brag about on twitter
>>
>>2481674
u herd him
