While I haven't had the opportunity to view any of the premium content that Proko offers on his site at proko.com, I've watched close to two hours of his free content on YouTube. There's a healthy debate on the merit of tutorials with paywalls when there is so much available for free but my opinion is that this would be a worthwhile investment if I had the extra funds.
Proko's videos are more polished than other tutorials. He makes use of proper editing, voice overs, and even some jazzy background music. A number of lessons include a split screen showing both the reference material and his step by step process. This is much easier to absorb than the typical web cam dangling over the shoulder technique that's used in many of the free tutorials.
Some "safe for work" examples of what Proko has on his channel are:
Drawing Muscles: What You Need to Know
I included some of my sketches from this video lesson in last weeks summary.
How to Draw a Nose - Anatomy and Structure
His nose tutorials are incredibly helpful for moving from flat cartoon noses to more convincingly realistic drawings. I'm still struggling with anatomy at this point, so every little tidbit helps.
