Oh, I definitely like Dorian. It s amazing how many things u can learn from a simple egg! Thanks a lot to Dorian for his thorough explanation, and, of course, the Proko team to make this video happen.

Difficult to imagine how this video could have been better. Quality work, thanks guys.

Proko viewers: Man, 2020 was rough.
Dorian and everyone who contributed art: Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?

Dorien’s knowledge on light and shadow is not only spot on, he teaches it well.

This was awesome and I learned a ton! In some of the quick photoshop touchups, the amount of difference made just by a few quick brush strokes is crazy. Never knew about how paint thickness that hides the canvas could impact the feel of something really being there, but that example in particular was stunning in the before/after.

12:00 Omg they picked my egg! Thank you so much for the feedback, I will keep all you said in mind next time I shade. In my defense, the camera I use is bad and creates extra shadows where there is none. Still super grateful @kprimeart_cr

[sailorfromafar]

Thanks for critique! I will try to add weight to my egg in the next drawing!

[Gumnball]

Saw my egg in the flat light section. I think the poor picture quality did not help but I'm using a scanner now.
Thanks for the all the advices Dorian, love your website.

You're right, I haven't thought about that while watching the first video, but it's an important thing to take into account and it adds a whole another level of complexity.

I'm learning here since 2019❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭

[natmolero]

This is really helpful!! Love the video! Thanks, Dorian!!

[ellegriffiths]

This was super useful & beautifully presented. Thank you!

The eggshells crying when they saw an egg being cooked. Man this would be an awesome comic strip in a newspaper article to read casually and have a good laugh. IT brings me Joy :)

[CHIBIDRAWINGS]

Nice tutorial so helpful, Thank you!!!

[thebulletkin]

I find the hardest part to actually be the technique to make the shading smooth. I often have areas that are darker than others and it never transitions smooth.

Is this something that comes with time or is there something I can do to improve it?

I’ve studied under David Briggs. Amazing artist and teacher.
