Can you believe I got to sketch at the zoo with the animator of Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Brother Bear? Aaron Blaise is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to drawing animals. The time I spent with him was super educational and humbling. It was also just a really fun few days.

    Had such a great time! Can't wait for you to make it down to Florida so I can drag you through the swamps and we can go drawing on the boat :)
  • @DustinBlaise
    being one of Aaron's camera crew during that trip i gotta say we had an absolute blast. was awesome hanging with ya Proko and hope to do this again in the future
  • i like how stan just does a quick sketch but aaron is like "DETAILED"😂
  • I like seeing each artist's differing approach to a subject. Aaron is definitely more anatomy based while Proko is more shape and form based, and both work perfectly fine.
  • @whatyousee3225
    Proko and Aron this looks like a father and his son having a good time XD
  • @oonadoodles
    11:30 Oh my god Karen came by and watched Aaron Blaise draw. That was so cute.
  • @ghardmuell
    Aaron Blaise seems like such a kind and heartwarming person. Love these videos where we get to meet other artists!
  • @Stettafire
    I must say it is good seeing such a competent artist such as yourself struggling with cats. It shows that even those with a lot of skill are always learning and growing:)
  • I love this video of you interacting with another artist out having fun together and coming up with creative games to play. I know youve done this in the past but I would love to see more!
  • @sarahwoods1371
    I loved Karen watching you do her portrait!!! So fun!♡♡♡
  • this is so lovely i know Proko and he has so many subs and still he is never aftaid of collabs that way he guides us to specific dimention of art that we yet have to explore and while he is pro in his own direction there are other things to see, watch and learn, i admire how he delivers this simple but very fascinating advanture that he goes through to us. i love ppl who love learning and creating but what is not completelyin their range they can teach us too by sending us to right direction, i took his path but i have an options too, this sort of thing from an artists(meaning offernig other great ppl and thus showing respect and objectivity) is very impressive, i appreciate everything this man does!
