    You literally explained the most difficult thing in art for me in 8 minutes better than some 30 minutes long videos and articles, you sir, truly are a master, no, that's wrong, you are the *sir*

      Just going to put it there, but maybe it is because the people who do make 30 minutes terminology is a big part of it.
      Marco bucci explains it in 10, with terminology.

    This is probably the best, straight-to

    Ive been back to actively learning art for the last 6 years now and really needed to hear that last bit about shading being all how you want.
    When I was in grade 9 my art teacher more or less ruined art for me when she wouldnt let me shade the way I wanted (now mind you I was also struggling with fundamentals and was too ignorant to see how much you need those, so thats on me), I was constantly expected to draw realism when I dont have any interest in drawing realism, and it killed my desire to learn how to shade and ultimately to improve my art, and here I am years later basically being told by this video that as long as you have the fundamentals it doesnt matter how simple you shade
    thanks for that Marcel, im gonna keep that close in my art journey

And I love how you break things down to help viewers understand and you get straight to the point. Love love love what you do and the way you do it ❤ 👏

    I thought art was this talent you had to be born with and cultivate over time In order to be truly good. But at 26, I understand that the countless hours of practice until your eyes strain far exceeds any talent people think you may or may not have. So thank you Sir, for your continued hard work for us and yourself. ❤

    I am 31 years old. I worked in the medical field, I was a pastry chef and I was in the navy. For years I did what others told me I should do instead of doing what I always wanted and that was draw. “You’ll never make money as an artist”. Now I’m finally in art school and 2 years ago before I decided to go a friend of mine who is an art school grad said “don’t let your art professors destroy your style.” The end of your video is definitely the most important part because I can feel that happening to me. I’m losing my art style because they’re telling me what I’m doing is “wrong”. I don’t regret art school because I’ve learned so much but I’ve learned as many bad things as I’ve learnt good ones. Thanks Marcel.

    I'm self taught with pretty much everything i've done with art but shading is where i'm having to go look for help. I am being told so many different things about which ways to do shading like which is right or wrong so I guess that last thing you said really helped with that. This video was just very useful and I think the bounce light part is going to make my shading better so thank you lots!

    Art is subjective. You should draw what you like. I hated art for the past 2 years, and i am starting to get into it again. Thank you so much, really you have no clue how excited i am after hearing these words to get drawing. But this time, it would be my way. Hopefully, this will make my design reach my end as well.
