I started my career change as an artist by watching Proko's tutorial series, this was back in 2015. Now, it's 2022, I'm now a professional artist working on a video game studio and it's been a pleasant experience to revisit/relearn stuff from your channel. My humble beginnings started on this channel! Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication!

Iron Man's helmet is just a Loomis head with red and yellow chrome, change my mind.

Woah... Learning is real. I'm amazed how realistic my sketches look. This is amazing method and an amazing teacher.

This is literally my third time watching this. Well you know what they say, third time's the charm, wish me luck.

Wow! That helped a ton!!! It was quick and easy and looked natural the first try. Now I just need to do it 1000 x to develop a muscle memory for the natural lines. Looking forward to eventually studying the whole body. Thank you!!!

[lemon-nuxp]

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO HELPFUL! I’ve recently been feeling so bothered with my method because it would leave my head shapes so unproportionate and finally I found a method that works well! I will definitely be looking into more of Loomis’ method, thank you for sharing this.

[gavrilostojanovic]

Just a heads up this will take practice.

[sabahbubbler]

As a beginner artist who didn't go to art school, thank god for proko.

[franknomustard]

I feel so grateful that my Dad let me borrow his copy of "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth" (1948)! Loomis, Rockwell and the giants at Marvel comics were all the rage for me! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! You ROCK!

I come here to start a new hobby during this self quarantine 😄. Hope y'all are safe and healthy folks 💛💛

Very interesting using an Afro model. I did portrait painting in Africa for several years and instinctually struggled with the lengths and set of the jaws! My brain was used to European and it took a while to appreciate that most of the beautiful African I painted had a fundamentally different set and proportion! I’d like to mention my favorite model, a refugee from Zimbabwe called Lwazi who could sit motionless for hours with a perfect expression of peace radiating from her. When I asked her how she managed this she just replied in her equally beautiful voice
“I pray…”

Watching Proko is like listening to a soothing spa music. The difference is, I learn something invaluable.

[JessterStinger]

I got his books on recommendation. The books are really good but sometimes its nice to people actually draw it with video get a better understand of the practical side. Thanks Proko

To me, the most difficult part of the Loomis method is figuring out where the cranium and oval is supposed to be. I feel like I mess everything up right after I draw the cranium.

Draws a perfect freehand circle, that alone is a skill
