How My Early Passion Projects Shaped Me

Hey there! My name is Stan Prokopenko, I’m an artist and teacher. Proko is a resource for artists to get good art instruction videos. When you watch Proko tutorials you’ll notice that I try to make them entertaining while keeping them educational. I feel that if you’re having fun and enjoying the learning process, you learn better. You retain more information, you pay more attention, you’re much more likely to continue learning and more likely to go back and re-watch tutorials. And it will leave you more inspired and motivated to go practice. I’ll be your host for most of the videos, but there will be other instructors that will appear on this channel as well. If you're an artist interested in doing a collab feel free to email me :) Get Premium Drawing Courses: https://proko.com/store Become a Proko Affiliate: https://www.proko.com/affiliates

Video Description
I've been looking through my old artwork and found a box full of personal projects. Applying what I learned to projects that excited me helped make the knowledge stick. Some of the work is a bit weird as I was still finding my path as an artist. I experimented with different techniques, like blending stumps and gouache, and studied anatomy and composition. Reflecting on these pieces, I realize how important they were in my journey, and it's made me want to create more and keep exploring new methods.
