Jazza is pretty good at his hustle, I mean it takes a certain amount of talent (I'm not talking about drawing) to get around 800,000 subscribers, and I respect that. I mean, he's not a good artist but he is a good teacher. Of course you will have to supplement his work with better artist and your own experimentation after you get past beginner status. But he's pretty good at helping newbies out. Plus, he seems like a nice person.

In other words, he a good boi, he diddn du nuffin wrong.

>>2723849
our boy jazza's moving up in the world

>>2723849

honestly, Prokos sketch looked like garbage.

>>2723849
Honestly, the figures from proko look like garbage

>>2724054
all his imaginative work is weak

>>2723849
WELP!
there you have it. now /ic/ has to distance itself from PROKO

>>2723898
>he a good boi, he diddn du nuffin wrong.
That kinda implies that he's a violent criminal, though.

>>2723849
What the FUCK did proko have a stroke?

>>2723849

>dat proportion on the sitting guy
>dat gesture
>dat fucking everything

Jesus. I'll probably see more solid drawing if I open a random page on FA.

>>2724128

Don't do drugs, kids.

>>2724131
wow proko might be a good teacher but his art is dog shit

>>2723849

>Proko is a good guy, I swear!
>Watts taught him!
>L-Look, f-funny skeleton! Pretty naked lady!

Fucking Ukrainians, cheating me again.

if only sycra were there

Those who can't do, teach. And all that.

Honestly, I have a hard time explaining it.

Check out that video of his superhero. Doesn't look good.

Proko draws very well and I've seen some of his stuff I like. But, yeah, his imagination stuff isn't very pleasing. It's like he spent all his time studying how to become an art teacher instead of actually being an artist.

Which is really stupid and short sighted to say because he is an artist. Just... Maybe someone gets what I mean because I'm having a hard time explaining it.

>>2724177

IMO, he doesn't have a attractive shape language. He's not good at designing silhouettes that make a strong visual statement. He has pretty good rendering and form drawing skills but you need a strong sense of shape to pull it all together for inventive drawing.

>>2724128
The sitting guy is Frankenstein's monster, I think it's reasonable to have a fuckhuge torso on Frankenstein's monster. The proportions on Mrs Frankenstein are kinda bad too, tho. The arms are really thin

>>2724251

The huge head make him look like a dumpy manlet more than anything. Not a great stylization.

>>2724177
Do you mean he sank so much time into the fundamentals individually that he never really learned how to combine them to create something visually pleasing?

>>2724176
Sycra is actually premium kek.
I would never learn how to draw from him.

>>2724131
>Proko uses a model in his pieces from imagination

Is it possible to even get good at imaginative drawing?

Should I give up right now and just start using pictures of myself in my pieces?

>>2723849
>"This guy is an awesome artist"

>>2724453
Any sort of imagination drawing draws from your visual library. The more diverse angles/poses/whatever you draw over time the easier it'll be to construct one "from imagination".

>>2724453
get good at drawing from imagination, so you can draw any pose you want whether you have a ref image that fits it or not, the use refrences to make your image the absolute best it can be, there is nothing wrong with using ref as long as you aren't limited to it. Notice that none of the references proko used are the exact pose he used, just close enough to be useful.

>Being polite
>Anywhere close to the truth

Jazza is a slightly sub-par artist that has built an entire empire out of POO. Can you say the same?

>when people shit on a drawing but you can't see whats wrong with it

>>2723840
You faggot. This is a sketch of coraline.

>>2724338
not them but yeah pretty much. also it seems that when he does combine the skills he's worked on to create an image, his fundamentals completely fall apart too.

>>2724453
of course you can if that's what you practice. proko doesn't seem to want to draw things from imagination, and it shows in his work
