In their words.

Feedback across Monomyth productions with Proko.

Rembert MontaldArtist / Proko instructor

“I love working with Kristian, he knows the ins and outs of the industry and deeply understands the artistic process and what it takes to get the best results out of you.”

The Ultimate Sketching Course
Michael HamptonArtist / Educator / Proko instructor

“I worked with Kristian @ Monomyth Studios on my "Introduction to Construction" figure drawing course. Kristian provided all of the materials for filming, editing, and packaging the course. He further supported the launch of the course with advertising materials on social media channels. If you're looking to package your creative output to be hosted on Proko, Kristian makes that process convenient and frictionless.”

Introduction to Figure Construction
Morgan WeistlingArtist / Proko instructor

“Working with Monomyth was a great experience. Kristian and I collaborated on my 33-hour course for Proko, and from the beginning I felt at peace knowing I was in good hands. Kristian was knowledgeable and efficient and greatly helped me through the process of putting together this huge project. From beginning to end, he was humble in his attitude and always made me feel like his greatest desire was to give me a product that I had envisioned. He gave me something far better than I imagined, though. You can find other companies to put a video course together, but it's rare to have someone who puts the client's vision at the forefront of every decision. I couldn't be happier with what Monomyth produced for me, and it has been hugely successful since its launch.”

Specific formats. One editorial point of view.

01

Courses on Proko

Long-form education that still feels made by an artist.
02

YouTube Content

Conversations with a point of view and a reason to stay.

Ideas designed to survive beyond the first pitch.
