Character Design Process with Karl Kopinski - Proko

See how fantasy illustrator and sketch artist Karl Kopinski approaches character design using traditional materials (pen, pencil, paper. Part of Lightbox Expo 2021 Lion: I just wanted to add something I think that's important. First I want to put my experiences through my art journey into perspective. I was extremely interested in drawing at about three years old this was because I was mechanical minded also I was the second boy in the family, so it was a point where my parents didn't put as much time in to teaching me like my older ribelious brother. I struggled with reading and basic literature my parents always thought drawing was a means to an end I didn't think so. I was always drawing and as I grew up it was something I loved doing as a hobby in my mind. I was really the only one in my family who had any artistic interests. I grew up in a small town basically trudging through learning on my own. Now I'm 25 and I realized I spent twenty years learning with no clue how much of one type of art whether it be portraits, fundimental practice, cartoon drawing, or character design drawings to focus on. Although I spent 20 years of my life learning where most people with a talent like I did would learn it in five years with a mentor and proper time managed education. All that being said I think it's more important to enjoy what you love doing sometimes it's better to take your time and make those mistakes like me 15 years of unorganized persistence ha it only makes you a better artist with more experience. Now I'm at the point where I'm very confident and presueing my education taking it to the next level my biggest problem was managing my time with work, school, practice, and finished pieces. If you are struggling to improve go ride your dirt bike or do something scary that way when you come back to the drawing board your relaxed and okay with spending several hours sitting farely still that way your consistently moving forward with a balance of moving and stopping so the stay. I hope this helps someone who might need a little extra.

Proko, hello from Spain. You have lost freshness. I liked your educational videos, with a lot of 3d content, a lot of animation. Skelly, the very great 3d models. Your anatomy course was impressive. All material, all 3d models. And now, you seem to be just an informative platform for other artists. I'm disappointed, proko. Very disappointed. Maybe you have to go back to your origins and create your own content. Very very disappointed in you. It seems that you only take advantage of your fame to live well. I try to review and revise and I see that for centuries you have not made your own video, but only live from the art of other artists. This was your goal? live without doing anything? maybe yes, and I'm delusional. But this shit wasn't Proko. It is very easy to say that you are an art school and live off the art of other artists. This is really pathetic. This is not real Proko.

I like Karl because he just seems like a regular guy who learned how to draw really well, some artists are just really insufferable with how pretentious and egotistical they are. Even Kim Jung Gi has no ego, he just loves to draw. Nothing worse than sitting down to listen to someone who thinks they poop gold out of their pencil

It's so inspiring to listen to a humble artist who is really good and honestly talks about his strengths and weaknesses. This is so tremendously helpful to hear for an aspiring art student. Thank you, Karl, you're an awesome person and an awesome artist.

I really like how Karl recognizes that he still makes mistakes. His humbleness is what makes him great as an artist because he still feels like he's growing and learning even though he's well known. The day we stop growing is the day we're dead.
