Always include the "spine" or center line to indicate which way the torso is twisting. Use the "3D Brick" Method
Most students struggle with the Loomis Head or the Bean because their circles are wobbly.
Stop drawing with your wrist. Use your shoulder and the overhand grip to achieve the long, fluid lines Proko is known for.
Boxes make it easier to see the front, side, and top planes of the body.
Take a photo of your drawing, put it into a digital program (or use tracing paper), and draw the "correct" Proko version over your own to see exactly where your proportions went wrong.
💡 You don't get better at Proko by finishing the course; you get better by repeating the "boring" assignments until they become second nature. To help you get the most out of your next session, tell me: Are you focusing on figure drawing or portraiture ? What lesson are you currently working on? Are you drawing traditionally (pencil/paper) or digitally ?
