  • Hey, my name is Stan Prokopenko, welcome to another episode of Proko. Today I will be

  • showing you guys how to draw a figure. This information was passed down to me through

  • many generations of masters and took me an entire decade to master myself! It takes at

  • least 10,000 hours to get the hang of this, so I suggest you start practicing now.

  • Ok, guys pay attention cause this gets tricky really fast. I’ll start the drawing with

  • the head and I’ll simplify it to a circle, just like we learned in the loomis method..

  • Then observe the torso and I’ll try to draw it as accurately as possible. This is important

  • because it’s going to set the foundation for the rest of the drawing.

  • Next, let’s attach the arms.. and don’t forget the legs. There’s a lot of anatomical

  • nuances in the contours of the legs, so pay attention to that and try to design the shape,

  • don’t just copy them.

  • If you want to get really complicated you can give your person some shoes, and maybe

  • some gloves. And a hat.

  • And finally, you want to make sure that you capture the right expression of the face.

  • I suggest you study yourself in the mirror, and really try to observe the muscles that

  • are activated during various emotions. For, this drawing I’m going to make my character

  • happy.

  • Alright, there you go! You probably won’t be able to get it this good on your first

  • try, but don’t give up. Keep working on it until you train your eye to see all the

  • subtleties.

  • Apriiil Foooools. You thought I was going to start the figure drawing series.. soorrryyy.

  • its not done yet. Ok, I promise I will have a real episode done this week onThe Illusion

  • of Depth

  • Happy April 1st :P

  • Buy an original Proko figure drawing at proko.com/stick. That is not a joke. I’m serious.
