How to Draw Confident Lines - The Tapered Stroke

Thanks ❤

Can this be achieved with pen? I need to know because I use pen.

It was a very interesting video, my dear friend, I hope you will always be successful

Excellent lineart tip!

👍😠💜👌😥👍👍👍

Super ❤❤

Bro my brother told me I had to take the class it mad me mad

This video was really helpful! Loose sketches are actually a moving picture at one place. All those lines make the drawing look like its in motion and moving. For films the movement is sequentially. This video opened my mind, why loose sketches are looking full of energy and are more interesting than just a few lines.

Thank you

My 7th and 8th grade art teacher always, for 15 minutes every day, would have us to these warmups. He would give us 3 pieces of paper (so we don’t fill up our sketchbooks fast) and we would just draw lines and circles. That improves my art so dramatically I still do it every day. Never forget the fundamental lines and circles, because you’ll use them in every drawing.

This video is heavy on "what" and "why" (which is great, don't get me wrong), but has very little of the "how to" promised in the title.

Tip: Make sure when ghosting to put your hand on the paper. Do not hover your hand but your pen. This gives you more control when making the marks

Any tips on how to do it in digital with regular pen tablet?

Thank you

Man you are awesome and a kind person.. thank you 🙏

sorry criterium but it think i'll need to get ride of you

Drawing pin with double horizontal line safety shot

Soo...... no death grip?

Mine keeps tapering only at the end

Thanks Proko for the tutorial.
We have the same hobby 🤝

I love the car analogy

I came here to learn a single stroke, left learning a long missing puzzle piece. Definitely gonna give this a try.

I love this!

It's always amazing to see someone who draws complex curves with great line quality and they don't even rotate the drawing pad. Hope that I can one day draw as well as you do @Proko. Love your content!

Bravissimo come sempre! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

These strokes aren’t clean.


They are Keane.

(My favorite is the Beast’s transformation sequence)

I needed this. I see why my drawings didn't have any fluidity in them. This was helpful. Thank you!

LOL the car thing

My shoulders are not cooperating with this tip...

Ur animation teacher in high school?
Wth, we have art teacher who isn't even good at it

Please also make monthly subscription courses. The current premium courses are too expensive for me. Too bad I really wanted to learn from these courses. Love your work!!

I learnt this from the force books

Deseo comprar sus cursos, pero son tan caros 😢, algún día podré!!

Good stuff Stan!

He still has the og intro music🥹🙏🏾

Amazing advices as usual.

your a legend

I just realized Moriarty from sherlock teaches art

He had a highschool animation teacher….
I went to an arts program highschool and even I did not. I wish I had.

wow! omg thank you!

you know, i've been practicing art on and off just to kill time and everytime i see a video from this guy it's like seeing a god at work, this dude is absurdly good compared to most people i often watch, he has the ability to teach all of these separate things in art and not just 1 portion of it, absolute legend, much respect for the grind you've put in

New mic, sinus infection or deviated septum? You sound different, Proko!

thanks sir, Tapered Stroke That drawing is useful for improvement.

That was simply great. I hope more people will see this video.

I also really liked that chair slide in the beginning and a subtle humor 😄

This helps a lot! Thanks, Proko!

So glad you addressed the reason why the loose sketch can look better than the finalized drawing; that eluded me for years. Even just slightly accenting the thickness of the line on the shadow side can enhance the gesture and the life of the drawing. Great video!
