Very good tutorial for the Art lover and students . We wish we must get more like same.
We also thankful to all teachers and their team -
great course but it is good for intermediate not for beginner
little bit challenging go with course -
This is an amazing course! Definitely exceeded what I was expecting before I signed up on it. Proko has incredible teaching skills and had some awesome guests who had also terrific didactics. Since it's a free course you won't get much exercises to do, but it will surely give you some ideas on what and how to practice your drawing skills. Sometimes the order of the videos was confusing, probably because I think it's a big cluster of classes summed up on a single course. Worth it!
