Proko is an online art-learning platform and community where artists can build skills and connect with peers and mentors. Courses cover drawing fundamentals, anatomy, figure drawing, perspective, painting, character design and comics. Free lessons are available: Drawing Basics lists 58 free lessons among its 185 lessons. The full Drawing Basics course costs 159.00 USD per once and includes 82 hours and 2 minutes of course videos, with access for life. Proko sells products individually rather than offering membership access. Depending on the course, premium materials may include extended videos, assignments, demonstrations, eBooks, critique videos and 3D models. Students can post assignments for community feedback, and instructors may use submissions in critique videos. Drawing Basics videos can be downloaded as 1080p MP4 files for offline viewing, but that does not include future videos outside that course. Proko also lists Skelly for poseable anatomy modeling, a web drawing timer, Zolly for perspective practice, and a web value study tool. Platforms listed include web, Windows, iOS and Android.
Who it is for
Proko suits artists seeking structured lessons in drawing, anatomy, painting or related subjects, with opportunities to share work for feedback. It may also suit learners who want course access for life or downloadable Drawing Basics videos.
