If you’ve become a pro what other tips would you give artists on breaking into the industry?
what is "talent" without the dedication?
Anatomy is what most of us artist struggle on so id tell them to do more anatomy practice.
Sell out. The first guy you interviewed looked like bob hope
I work as a game artist, and my advice would be to become kind of crazy/obsessed with getting better. Most of the other artists didn't say this, and wouldn't admit it about themselves, but there is seriously something insane about working so passionately on your own excellence, analyzing all your faults and pushing ahead. I would say artists are like athletes in that sense. The great ones are insanely focused and determined people.
Don’t trust anyone
Eliza hosting convention tables of her work with a child in tow like a friggin CHAMPION. Most impressive thing in the whole video to me.
I'm just so glad we live in a time where we get genuine advice from amazing artists
I really love ur comment for some reason.
Eliza is a boss! "The baby on my chest? No problem, let me just draw you an amazing piece of art in 2 minutes."
hahaha funny
I have a question : Can someone who is not american and lives in another country participate in art conventions?
@@priscillam8903 Of course! If your able to fly to the country of the Art Convention, the your more than welcome! Art conventions are for everyone interested in art
13:13 Kim Jung Gi's advice on breaking into the art industry, " Be a God".
Actually, Kim gave an indirect piece of advice on that matter in one of the interviews. He said that people probably miss how much hours he invests into drawing daily. Wanna be Kim Jung Gi and get into the industry his way? Work as hard as he does.
I love Kim Jung Gi but he definitely isn't the best artist. He has a great visual library though.
Mac Hewitt are you saying he isn’t the best, as in the number 1 artist out there? If yes then I agree, only because such a thing doesn’t exist. There are several artists that are at a similar level to him, and art is too subjective to be able to say one is the best.
If you mean not the best, as in not that good/overrated then you’re just plain wrong and I don’t know what else to tell you.
hes not s god can't even speak English. everyone speaks English nowadays.
@@BigDomski kinda both. For people to say he's a god and bring him up all the time in videos with pretty much nothing about him, its a sign that he's overrated. He's awesome but he doesn't make finished pieces that I would buy. He inspired me to do art full time years ago but he doesn't make pieces of art worth millions of dollars.
This is wonderful, thank you. I dismissed my art carrier 11 years ago when I got rejected by every academy I tried to get in to, but have since then gradually gotten back into the saddle of finding what makes me tick and what I want to convey.
There's some very wonderful advise in there and some incredible artists that I will be sure to look into, thanks again for doing this!
Same here, ive been doing commissions to help with money and stuff and its great, but im just getting back into the art i used to do in college (printmaking major) and it makes me happy. i think i might need to stop comms for a bit to let out the true inner art demon in me :P
I have so much respect for Marshall Vandruff. He really gives some great advice.
These videos have been helping me so much mentally! Thank you so much!
Me too dude
me too
Same here, very inspiring and hope giving.:)
This honestly encouraged me a lot, just to throw my work out there. I think the biggest problem to me, is not being satisfied with what I produce, eventhough I get a lot of encouragement from others. Basically it's good to always aim at getting better, but things that didn't quite turn out the way I want aren't garbage. To other people it can still be something that speaks to them, but I have to get it to be seen, otherwise nobody will know.
Thanks Stan. The fluency and amiability with which those coolest artists treat your questions, shows that a good artist is a nice person before all. Kudos to you too for being a polite interviewer.
This makes me wanna go to a comic con so badly 🥺🥺 just nerdy wonderful art appreciating people who can walk around in whatever costume they want ❤️😍
Proko, i realy love your videos you do once awhile making these interviews with other artists like this. Its wonderful to see them all in one video ! you are not only great artist but also great host and anchorman ! Thank you !
gotta love the sense of humor of karl
These are invaluable videos. Between this and your Draftsmen podcast, I feel really empowered to get out there and get some good work done!
I like these episodes with different artists tips and see there works open up my mind thanks Proko for the hard good work ❤️❤️
Hey Proko I love your content a ton. I also enjoyed your pannel this year at comic con. Thanks so much for inspiring me to not give up on art n go for my lifes goal. I appreciate that hope to bump into ya next year. :)
Still cant get over that Karl often draws with both hands at once
Thank you proko for such wonderful content 🙋🏾♂️🔥🔥
Some seriously good tips! Thanks for posting this for all of us Proko!
Great spread of people questioned, nice work Proko, very helpful and inspiring! The main thing I takeaway is to just keep working. I'm fairly confident in my ability at this point, I just need more of it.
I like Pascals works exactly because they are so sweet and sincere, its just his own view of life on a canvas.
I love the asking pro series, it's so inspiring and useful. Thank you Stan
This is a very good video, thanks Proko for doing this. This is really helpful and motivational video!
Thanks for these videos! Really good supplement to the normal content.
Thank you proko! These are really helpful. 👋🙏
This is GOLD! Thanks a lot
Love this I just stumbled across your channel and I love it
Thanks for the interviews! many of new artist I knew by it! also Karl Kopinsky in hilarious
Thanks man you changed my life , I dont know what to say. Just thanks alot
Wow. I enjoyed the video. i will draw with good inspiration. thank you!
let's grow together
I like the advise on contract and negotiation
Thank you for your videos
Question from a confused artist : is it better to work for myself and create a project, or to work towards working for studios and whatnot? How do I choose a creative career path when there is so many and my art doesn't seem to fit any?
Amazing vid as always peter Han kim jung are my dudes!
I love these videos! Not only the advice is nice, but I've found many amazing artists through these videos (like Eliza
I really enjoy promo tips they've really helped me up my art to a new level.🔥🔥🔥 I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be a better artist.
Amazing advices across the board, thank you so much!
Hey stan can you do a tutorial on how to draw live portraits?
@proko
Hey Proko,
i love these videos but could you possibly talk a bit more about the fine art industry. Its harder to find explanations to breaking into that industry.
Im scared but also excited
Thes videos are so helpful
Great video
Quanta fera do desenho reunida! Excelent!
OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE ALREADY ON A MILL I WAS HERE WHEN U WAS ON < HUNDRED THOUSANDS
Hey @proko! Share your interview with marshall that flashed at the final of the video! Thanks for all!
07:56 jajajaja omg this made my day ...
Awesome
Thanks for following me and sharing this video I really impressed with this 🌍 works in a very 👌 large scale Some of them have very good style their own ideology and all of them have 👌 good target to sharing their work on social media therefore the opportunity for the future may be helpful for them
. In my opinion the 🌍 works is too much talent and progressive and also use of social media is include because of the other countries are not doing 👍 like in a huge amount of the students 👌 getting the train so this benefits they can get
. So thanks again for your afford for me as an Art 👍 😍 lovers.
so Marshal's advice is ''be rly good''? oh wow thanks, why did i not think of that before?
Karl Kopinski is so cool!
Are you going to post that sweet panel with Marshall?
you are my love prokooooo
When will we get a Skelly app for PC? We're too poor for phones!
9:00👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
thanks for the advice I'm never sure what to post on places like art station.
I think the best tip was Cutter Hays, because i'm doing that right now lmao
I wish it would be an advice for people who like to do more than just one thing , I'm so jealous of the people that only likes 1 thing :( .
Pascal Campion ... Wait, I know that guy from DeviantArt. My man.
Let me guess before watching.
Be yourself
Stay true to yourself
Have a uniqe style or a uniqe trait
Take opportunitys
Its going to take time keep practising
Put out a lot of art
Dont quit
Well, it's :
- Connection
- Networking
I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us you are an amazing artist I want to ask you question I'm a beginner and I start to draw but I feel my drawings sucks actually not look like drawing 😂😂😂😂I heard about to practice my hand by drawing every day but I feel I'm still doing mistakes I would like to hear an advice from such a great artist like you any one could help I will appreciate ☺
Mohammed Dokmak the more u practice drawing the less mistakes u make, but u can make it better by practicing certain things like perspective, anatomy, composition, colour and light. andrew loomis has some really good books on drawing that u can find pdfs of online for free
@@ash-wq6to thanks for your reply I will make my best God bless you
4:36 is it Anthony Jones aka RobotPencil??? I wish you interviewed him, he is a great artist
No, it’s Allen Panakal, another great artist.
Isn't Anthony Jones the guy that scammed his kickstarter backers?
.. . I cannot help but get the impression that the art industry is a predominantly male business. I am super impressed by everyone's work, but I'd surely appreciate a little more oestrogen joining the dinner table.
My animation world I'd wanna live in? Dragonball hands down
I would honestly prefer jjba or avatar
so u wanna die multiple times by every crazy alien attacks.
The Voldemort cosplay! 🤣🤣🤣
What was that artwork in the thumbnail? And who did it???
Waaaait, didn’t you already ask Stephen silver for advice before?
not me following eliza a while ago without realising shes an actual pro 👀
😃
peter han what the hell is that movie's name in 17:13 ? he speaking so fast.
the TRIPLETS of BELLEVILLE, by Sylvain Chomet , in case anyone's wondering
Understood him perfectly, and remember the movie distinctly.
"Alright then, keep your secrets"
What if you don't have a digital portfolio or you're not a digital artist? Like I don't do digital at all.
You just gotta take good photos of your work.
@@seanramsey and sometimes those photos won't turn out as good as the real piece:(
@@toiletrat6892 Yeah, unfortunately if you're doing a really texture-y oil paint you often can't capture it all in a photo. One strategy might be to take a straight-on photo as best you can and then do a couple other close ups/side shots to show how textured the painting is or how the color looks from different angles.
An advice that one master once gave me: if you think your work values 100$, then make the value of 300$ but the prize is 100$
(Sorry for my bad english xD)
00:24 - I didn't know Tarantino drew
ㅎㅎ
Just work 20 h per day and post your work every where
And be the best
These videos discourage me greatly. But oh well. I guess I still have time to get good.
Don't forget that those videos feature insanely skilled people, some are in the industry for decades now, and some can clearly be called masters. They weren't necessarily at this level when they got noticed or when they got their first job. But you definitely have time to get good and reach your goals :) good luck to you friend!
May I know thw artist for the thumbnails?
@Kat Collins thank you!
She’s amazing
@@RS-ep2ry yep, went to check her profile, its awesome!
👏👏👏💐💓🙏👌
Queria legenda em português 😭
19:44 middle bottom Give him some air PepeLaugh
Who's the artist in the thumbnail?
My professor asked a room full of artists if anyone wanted to illustrate a book for him. I immediately talked to him after class. One other student did aswell, and one emailed him. He said he'd pay whoevers draft he liked more money and would use their art. His time frame was from the beginning of the summer to the end of the summer. this summer currently. I designed the characters and finished the book in 2 days flat, used a mouse to paint it digitally. He payed me in full and dropped the other artists because he liked mine so much. This job allowed me to afford a dope ass drawing tablet that I now use for all of my art, a big upgrade from a mouse. this is probably the most important thing in my art career besides deciding to go to art college when I wasn't even an artist.
I can;t believe a room full of artists almost entirely passed up the offer, and one even emailed instead of talking in person, how ditsy and disrespectful.

@@lilcarou4128
Thanks!
☹️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had the money and the free time to pursue an art job. Alas, money and responsibility gets in the way...
I guess that’s the pro-tip, you better have a stable job and not have any financial burdens
Hey it's Quentin Tarantino
Honestly, I only watch these q&a videos is to see eleeza
And i hope gary Villarreal show up
Wondering why these just got re-uploaded
This is a video from 2019. No reupload.
@@ProkoTV I wonder why CZcams just suggested it to me as a new upload. Actually this entire series is.
Might've been under the "new to you" tab. Hope you got something from it!@@cmapez
Great video, but I wish you had edited out the part of you asking the question to every artist.
My Thoughts
1 To do your own thing (comic, paintings etc...) if successful the best and most rewarding $$$
2 Teaching Art (seems to be a stable job)
3 Full Time Artist Job (seems to be stable but rare)
4 A Real Job (and be creative in your own time)
5 Freelance (seems stressful, sketchy and unreliable)
"a real job" even in a video like this you find comments with people who actually think an art job isn't a real job. grow up.
koozaa i dont think they mean it in a disrespectful way though seeing how into art he is. The word real job here is use to group together all the other job, like , you know , the “real job” since there are no other word we can use to describe it? No need to get mad though.
Everytime i see carl kopinski i yell KARL KOPINSKI
I never know what to post :(
Any time that's good for u , if u still don't know then just post whenever
I can't imagine being good at all. lol
Pascal Campion ... lol
If one of this tips it's not to suck at art I'm already doomed
@@Octoboobs You to get the joke
Thats kinda what the whole video basically is though; "put your work out there, get seen - also dont suck!"
Thanks Proko lmao
You know how not to suck? Study new techniques and work your butt off to master them.
And you can change that by deliberate practice
