Looking at this amazing painting, make realize that I'll never be able to do such amazing thing, it makes me feel really pathetic, cuz I know that it doesn't matter how long I keep practicing on my own I'll never reach such lvl of skill.
I feel even more depressed that I couldn't never be privileged to go to an university or even pay a master so they could help learning things, so practically everything that I know was all on my own and still I can't do nothing like that, it makes me feel horrible,
Definitely, learning on your on is not the same as doing a course or going to college, cuz in both cases you need money, which I don't have. Learning on your own you need to know all the in and outs during practice and do them properly, but even if you try your hardest, don't matter what, you still have a ton of doubts and there are things that you can't do don't matter how much you practice, also getting criticism on internet is not the same as having someone at your side, helping you and saying how to do stuff and clearing all your doubts.
Unfortunately, I don't have the -talent'' to get the things right on my own, criticism from internet is useless for me since I have no one at my side to Guide me and even though I practice, most of the time it just serve to make me have the impression that I improved, but then when I try to put the things on a work, it makes me realized that I actually haven't really improved at all. So I watch videos like yours to find inspiration, but in the end I just realize how pathetic I am, at point that make feel like giving up of everything, even being alive and of course this is not Proko's fault, it's my fault for being a pierce of garbage that can't do anything right in art nor in life.
I you are one of these people that can actually improve after a certain amount of practice and can understand what needs to be done with no direct help at all, you are truly blessed, it might feels good to create art and make even the most simple thing looking amazing.

Stan, i love and everything, but you just cringe me with that watercolors cant be dissolved in water after dried up, you must mean children watercolor kits, because gouache is well known to be many times harder to dissolve with water when dry. and winsor and newton's gouache is a high quality gouache, but most high quality watercolor brands are very easy to dissolve and never go rock hard, except for some certain pigments, and yeah it is not that much of a big deal, but whatever.

Dear Proko, I am currently a Sophomore and I applied for the YoungArts thing in the summer. I didn't have any close artists at the time and i feel as if my portfolio was scratchy. My guardians didn't tell me about anything either and I feel as if I didn't get in. I know I am a good artists and understand fundamental things. Can you make a video for artists in high school, and what they should do to best prepare a portfolio.

Fantastic video Proko! I was curious, when you say -Convenience colors-, is that how you approach most of your paintings when choosing color? And do you always use the primarys? Ive been having some issues with muddy colors and I think thats because I don't pick them beforehand!

Nice to see all the stages and well explained thumbnails/colour comps. Fantastic level of rendering skill. Great examples of brushstrokes and imperfect perfection ( if that makes sense. Glad to hear such a wonderful program exists and benefits someone. Great video.

please do more gouache paintings, I really love it!
I like how you use a lot of paint where as with most ppl they use more water so their process is lot more like watercolor while yours feels like oil/acrylic paint.

I've always wanted to get into gouache but never had any luck with the brushes, what sort of brushes are suitable for this thick gouache painting style?
