Learning figure and object construction is a very basic, fundamental, and important element in drawing from imagination. No one is arguing that point.
Unless they are, then I got nothing for that or them.
The overall point, though, is that Proko hasn't used what he teaches.
He's a guy who wanted to do imaginary work well. That's not even up for debate.
What happened along the way is that he personally did not devote time to drawing from imagination. He teaches the methods of construction and constructing well, but those are elements to help you create from imagination better.
But at no point is that actually going to work your imaginative skills. The only way, the only way to make sure the work you produce from your imagination is going to to get a proper work out and for the product itself to be better is to actually do it.
That's the point. Proko isn't a bad guy teaching bad things. His mistake was leaning too hard towards doing things "correctly" that he never allowed himself to do things, fail, fail, fail, and fucking fail until that imaginative work got better.
tl;dr - Proko exercised his academic biceps, but completely skilled leg day.
