    I've always been wondering "how are they doing it?". I was looking on many digital paintings and I still couldn't figure out how artist made those brush effects, like they have completely different, magical brushes. But now I think I've finally found my answer... It's all so clear now.
    Thank you. You are the best.

      Doon // Thanks, Doon! Those topics of conversation will surely come up in the first episode of the Art Talk series. As for painting vs pencil drawing. I actually fall into the same category. I draw with paint, rather than with lines. But my first few years of training were exclusively with lines (and every now and then I take on freelance work that requires line drawing, so I still use those skills). I only switched to a paint-based approach years later, because I discovered going straight in with paint provides the shortest connection to my brain. However, I'd say it's not a good idea to avoid line drawing just because you're not good at it, or that it's harder. There are many lessons to learn with linear drawing that painting won't teach you. So my opinion? To be the best artist you can be - you can certainly have preferences - but you should also get your skills up with pencil, too.

    • @Dogbong
      @Dogbong 4 года назад +7

      @@philippfrogel9355 I don't know that I can defend the literal phrasing of 'goals', but I will say that the process and the result varies a lot depending on what you do. A painter can start by filling the canvas with colour kinda haphazardly and build from there - you can't do that very effectively in drawing. Clean linework is also typical of drawing, whereas this video highlights how linework is more replaced by shapes and edges painting. And those differences amount to expressions that differ in terms of visual arts (but of course are quite similar if viewed in a broad lense alongside woodworking and clay or architecture or what have you). I think that's what he's getting at but of course I don't know.

    • @philippfrogel9355
      @philippfrogel9355 4 года назад +1

      @@Dogbong thank you for taking the time to point all this out!
      I often think and try to use my pencil like a brush, as with pressure and/or holding it flat you can have a big variety of thickness of a stroke, although certainly in a smaller dimension than with a real brush.
      But interesting points, I will ponder about it when I'm painting the next time.

    Oh, your videos are so helpful! They cover not-so-obvious topis in art and the message is short and clear (seriously, I appreciate they are not hour long and contain all the valuable information).
    I'm looking for a good brushwork in my painting. I've created couple of custom brushes in Krita and I'm looking for making more. It's even fun to create brushes, to try how different settings affect the stroke. Varied and "traditional" looking texture is important for me.
    I also start painting with soft edges, it gives more control on colors. I would recommend this way to everyone.
    I can't wait for more videos of this series!

  • @toffylikesgames
    @toffylikesgames Год назад +3

    I've been losing my mind lately, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and how to make my objects on the canvas stop looking so... cut and pasted. This here is literally the answer and I can't wait to practice that. Thank you for this tutorial! I like it that you also don't shy away from tools we are given. I often heard that using smudge brushes and the like was a "cheat" in the digital art, but I'm glad I can just go for it and not worry about some things being right or wrong.

  • @octonolite_0
    @octonolite_0 4 года назад +1

    I’ve watched digital artists use this start messy, refine later method in speed paints and have always been intrigued, especially since it’s counterintuitive to line artists, and moving too fast to understand at 20x speed or whatever. Thanks for breaking it down for the noobs!

  • @meadowlarkgreen
    @meadowlarkgreen 6 лет назад +1

    A clear, concise video for a topic that is not commonly addressed. This is a treasure right here.
    I really love how soft edges are explained. Seeing the example of pointillist technique and hearing you say that one shape "contaminates" another shape changes how I think about them.
    Now that I understand the principle behind it..hopefully it'll help my problem of messing up a shape when trying to soften its edges

  • @anasonyc3983

    I've been stuck lately, always ending up with overly rendered, uniformly smooth paintings.

This video just might be what enables me to make that jump 🙌 I thank you, Marco!

    His talk about story is to this day one of my favorites. It has never crossed my mind to apply it to painting, now it somehow really resonates. I'm gonna go out for a walk with my sketchbook.
    Thank you Marco Bucci! and Andrew Stanton!

    This is my favourite video from Marco as the painting demonstration of the brushes is the most helpful to me. I've watched it lots of times (best way is on the slowest speed setting).
    Then, recently I was watching the Obi Wan Kenobi series and noticed that one of the writers was a certain Mr Andrew Stanton. Couldn't help but think of The Stanton Principle and that he's a little self-serving, but knew no-one would understand if I said it to them, so I just smiled to myself 🙂

    Tyvm. I think this will help me a lot. I have fallen into the trap of thinking all my edges need to be hard. ...as a pencil and paper artist, most of my life, I feel that if the viewer can't tell what I have drawn, then I failed. But on the computer my linework often makes the images look worse so I have drifted into painting more but was not sure how to translate it. This helps. I need to let some edges be notes for the viewer to interpret.

    on a serious note, I have held this belief for a long time that the way we paint reflects our mental state, of course people have workflows but it is more about the workflow that appeals more to you, not the one you are using.
