Thank you so much Proko for giving me a shot on here! I hope everyone can take something away from how I bumble through a piece. :)

I can't believe Proko managed to get Ryan Reynolds

The closed eye was so disturbing that I spent couple minutes observing how closing an eye affects it’s position relatively to the other one so now I know that both parts close almost equally and the line should be where the bottom of the other eye is. It’s funny how I learned it 😂
-
Love the way stan's bringing knowledge and artistic intellectuality to the modern world I mean you could pick from a variety of industry professionals to learn from
-
Damn... the fascination of watching a pro work is just something...
-
YOU’VE BEEN GETTING EVERYONE ON THIS CHANNEL LATELY LOVE DAVE’S WORK SO MUCH!!!
-
I can say this feels like the most art class session I've been in for a years. Right when when I think of a question in my head..theres an approach or answer..I love this style.
-
Dave X Proko! YES!!!
-
What a charming guy. Thanks again, Proko, for bringing all these artists together to share their knowledge and insights. They are invaluable to aspiring artists
-
Yay Dave!!! His work is awesome, but he's so down to earth and offers so much help and information on how he works. Such a cool dude!
-
Stan, I love this art content that you've been putting out. Drawing characters is such a widespread desire for a lot of artists. Learning how to draw characters in different ways is extremely helpful . I appreciate you and Dave's contribution to the art community. I love these character - related videos. Keep them coming.

This is great, I completely get the whole messy start up and finding interesting shapes in the looseness of the initial sketch, that process for me is one of the most exciting parts of drawing a piece of artwork.
-
really like how you used the sketch in the coloring process, I think it preserves much of the original idea/feeling instead of coloring a clean up
-
Love your work I stopped drawing 3 years ago and now I wanna start so I can advance into animation especially bringing marvel and DC animation into life from comics. But I gotta start doing anatomy and all again but thanks to your stuff, it's a boost
-
Thank you Dave for taking the time to cover your workflow, processes, and thoughts while you concept this piece and thanks Proko for always sharing very helpful content such as this.
-
Like that your background in your studio space is calm. This allowed me to focus on what you are doing....
-
I play World of Warcraft. I am fan of the art style. It was fun watching him work. I’m a messy artist at the beginning stages as well. Got inspiration today. Trent Kanuiga is another concept artist I watch here on YouTube.
-
I just wanted to share that I really enjoyed watching this video. Just watching someone else draw and talk about his thought process was incomprehensibly soothing. I don't spend any time on drawing anymore, but this is one the highlights of my day.
-
OMG . Really quick and nice concept work. I love pretty much the lighting did here. ❤
