The character designer from Kim Possible, everybody! He knows his stuff.

For those curious, his woodless pencil is clutched to a Caran DAche Fixpencil Crayon Holder 0012. Very pricey at around $35, but it is made of metal.

@amberdreams_0 7 лет назад

It's one of my favourite things to watch people drawing and see how their work builds from a few faint lines into something recognisable - and this was so fascinating. I love the message about practicing and not overthinking the sketches.

@Crunchyr1ce 7 лет назад

He's hilarious and really great at caricaturing and finding stuff to exaggerate. I think he should make a disclaimer about the fact that he's not trying to make fun of these people - the characters he's drawing isn't THEM per say, only inspired by them. So if they say "I'm not that fat", it's like "of course you're not, this is not you. This is just a depiction of a character that was initially inspired by your appearance". Or Ceci n'est pas une pipe, basically.

@aywancfc 7 лет назад

'But when I see you, i think, fat person is what I'll draw' 🙈 idk. Still sounds bad..

@ChaseGamesify 7 лет назад

So basically the key to character design and cartooning is to pic out everything a person is self conscious about and draw it. Gr8

@sextuspestus7054 7 лет назад

Its funny how nasty and mean this would all sound to someone doesnt draw.

@davidphilipsmusic 7 лет назад

haha so true. Take away the drawing and have this guy taking photos instead and it'd be so offensive hahaha great video

@sabahbubbler 5 лет назад

That's someway how deaf people communicate. They use appearance and features to identify a person. Which sounds mean but normal to them. Let's say you have a mole, they'll indicate in sign that that's the identifying feature from what I heard

@patrikpass2962 5 лет назад

@@sabahbubblerwell.... deaf people can see faces as everyone else wtf. Do you ask someone to say hello so that you can hear who they are or what?

@billymarroquin5246 7 лет назад

My son's just getting into drawing, and the advice I always give him is to draw from life, everything in nature. This helps hit the message home. Great video.

Proko thanks for this. Just bought Stephens book. Can't wait!! Anticipating the Christmas season just got greater. Oh yah!!

@wanderingwade8877 4 года назад

This is great because you get to see Silver actually draw live instead of watching the magic lines appearing looking at a drawing software recording. It's great to see his tools too. CARAN D’ACHE FIXPENCIL. [update] I got Stephen Silver's book. I like it a lot. Highly recommended.

@rodirgoc3772 4 года назад

I saw this video around the time it came out but then I lost it. I didn't remember what the channel was, what the title of the video was, who the artist was. It sucked because it had so much valuable information that I wanted to remember. The best piece for me was honestly the idea to wear sunglasses to avoid not only spook the people but to avoid getting self conscious. Finally, after 4 years I found it again and I can't believe it was a Proko video.

@Alex_Dul 7 лет назад

I' can't wear sunglasses over my regular glasses! I have gotten used to people giving me funny looks though. People realizing I'm drawing them sometimes opens up conversation. Great demo! :)

You look less suspicious of you draw with your finger on an iPad or even more so on a phone. I use Zenbrush on my iPhone when I travel on the metro and just draw random passengers on my to work. It just looks like I’m intensely playing some weird game.

@WeasleyTwiins 7 лет назад

I have a question, I want to get back into drawing, and I do cartoon-y characters too. But it seems important to start realistically before scaling back (because of likeness and such). Is there an order in which to watch your videos? Just by date? What would you recommend?

@ProkoTV 7 лет назад

+WeasleyTwiins www.proko.com/library - start at the top in the basics section. Then move on to the figure drawing course. That's my recommendation :)
