This interview is wonderful, but I actually asked a medical professional why this anatomical feature was not in all anatomical textbooks. He immediately provided a unique function and memories of examinations of it during dissection. He explained it is in textbooks. He was actually put off by the way Proko handled this comment in the interview. I was saddened to see that the artist I am passionate about is tarnished to a fellow artist because of a perceived us vs them thing between art and science. So if you're reading this Proko, here's a chance to address this. I know you don't actually believe you know anatomy better than an actual doctor or believe that doctors do not care about -important enough- features. Especially during a pandemic when medical professionals are laboring for our good, it is important to pay respect where it is due.

I-m an amateur artist but a learning expert. Rote memorization (in this case, of the names of body parts) is the FIST step in the FASTEST route to a THOROUGH understanding of a subject. The reason is that it is the framework you build upon which you will then immediately hang every new piece of information you acquire about that thing. Since that body part already exists in long term memory, it-s like having a shortcut to long term memory for every new fact; a place to anchor it.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I've seen a lot of Stephen's videos of late and this one was very intriguing. I was taught drawing at art school using observation methods that included shape recognition, proportion and relative position and so on, but not by using anatomy and I admit it doesn't interest me much and I don't feel I draw less well for it. Nonetheless Stephen obviously excels using this approach.

1: 06 -You can see why this one is here and this one isn't here. -
Me: I actually prefer the one on the left. The roughness of it and the more dynamic pose make it more interesting. It feels alive whereas the drawing on the right feels like a statue.
Then again my personal preference has always been for artists who are distinct visually rather than depicting reality as accurately as possible.

Interesting! The reason I watched this was because of 2 names I like to watch - Stan Prokopanko and Stefen Bauman. What was of interest to me was what Steph/fen Bauman had to say about anatomy when I know him as a landscape artist. I am interested in figures. This is opening up new vocabulary for me - and, of course, more skill learning.

I definitely don't think you neeeeed to know the names of everything to know what they are. A lot of visual thinkers just can't commit vocabulary to memory for the life of them. But certainly the more it's studied, the more likely the words are to stick.
Great video, thanks guys!

Could we say the drawing approach of this kind of artist and cesar Santos too are the opposite of jung Gi Kim approach? Copying shapes from life to the canvas vs building 3d structure from imaginations. I've always wondered how good are the first ones in drawing from imagination.

If the artist is great it became amazing it doesn't matter it is cheap or premium quality pencil
It teaches us that we don't need expensive materials for drawing. -
Am I right. Sir?

I wish this was shot from the front. It feels so uncomfortable watching it this way, almost like I'm one of those freaks in the backbench trying to learn from the nerds in the front.
