Marc, i recently just recommended your art program to a friend as a Christmas gift to her kid, as she loves drawing and is hungry to learn. She'd already gone through most of your RUclips videos. Ever since Christmas, she has been, according to her mother, drawing and watching your program videos through the night and going to bed in the morning. 😂 Thanks for making such an awesome program.
Ugh. The higher the standards I'd put, the higher the chance to fail, and gonna hate myself even worse. Changing habits? Yepp... another ingredient to fall. Like always. (from my perspective, I'm a sore loser)
@@LordTchernobog That's not what is meant by "standards," here. The idea is to sincerely believe that you can indeed achieve the things you look at someone doing, and thank right now that you can't. The "standard" being referred to here has to do with the work put in, not the result that comes out.
1. Our Vision is kinda far from reality and that's don't get simple basic things done. 2. High standards make it a painful experience because you will look at the best and hate your creations that are nice for your level. 3. Changing habits almost unreal and a makes it even more painful. I would recommend relax and enjoy the process, take good sleeps and pause a lot to recharge inspiration. Yes, this field is hard and for autistic personalities. Don't be delusional. Thank you and much love!
I narrowed my art goals this year down to one word: Consistency. Anything and everything is accomplished by consistently working on it until it's accomplished. I can even extend that to the rest of my life as well!
Marc's art for this week (which is excellent!) is fan art of the popular anime/manga series *Frieren* The art itself is similar to the *Frieren* artist, Tsukasa Abe, with touches of Mika Pikazo. The only thing I would say is that Frieren wouldn't pose like that. If you look at the official artbook or read the manga, you will never see a pose like that as Frieren never tries to act cute. It's not her nature. Mika Pikazo is an amazing artist, but I actually prefer her earlier art. Her current art style is too busy for my eyes. If you want to learn more about her style there are a number of great YT videos which deconstruct her current style. Mika Pikazo uses great colors (triadic harmony), basic brushes (g-pen for hard edges, watercolor), Clip Studio Paint which has a great tool for easily creating screen tones/color screen tones, and Photoshop for final image manipulation. Mika's layer structure is similar to many Japanese artists: base layer + shadows 1 + shadows 2 + highlights (4 layers and sometimes 5 layers: additional highlight).
So I started drawing on like August or September last year. I told myself I‘ll draw everyday and until today I did. I don‘t always draw a lot, and I think I could do a lot more, but the fact that I at least kept that goal makes me happy and I want to continue doing it.
My Goal is to start drawing again, even if it is only 30 minutes a day. I graduated from high school (german) last year and started university because of that I stopped drwaing😢
I realised last year around December that if I had tried the year-long structured plan you gave I'd be a lot better at art at that point in time. One other thing I realised is the importance of scrapping everything not in the main 'vision' as you put it. Failing at the task, important to me because I obsessed over a detail that in hindsight I didn't care for is a rather terrible feeling. Felt a lot worse than just cutting- out secondary tasks ever did, no matter how many of them. These are all skills worth learning, only problem is it's gonna take like a year to get decent progress now that they're at the forefront. Better at art by 2026 sounds almost as good as better at art by 2025 I suppose. ^^
People say "it's not the brush that makes the art, it's the artist" but I'm at a point where I don't even know if I'm using the right brush for the right job, so just knowing that someone can do something with it will make it clear that I'm the stupid problem in the equation. :D Thank you for sharing your brushes for free!
I watched your video about doing different forms and shapes ( the manequin one) and it taught me a little bit about perspective and helped me draw a few characters that actually looked like humans! MY goal this year is to practice drawing body forms,hands,arms ,heads etc and draw ONE landscape drawing in any form that is a serious project and looks presentable! Doesnt sound like a lot , but at my current speed i can draw a good looking hand in 4 hours and my last character isnt done yet and i started it 5 days ago :D haha.
Thank you for the video Marc. Procrastination and not trying new things was one of my issues that I had last year. I was so afraid to try and draw new things that I ended up growing stagnant as a result. I hope this year I can break out of that shell and draw more. One step at a time.
I did pretty good! I was on the path, some things at the end of the year made it a bit more difficult. But im ready with less work hours starting tomorrow to get back on track! You're videos helped to me to make a good workload and schedule to get so much farther than in my whole life haha. It was frustrating at first, but now i appreciate everything. I will try looking at making a more full view of where my goal to help stay on track for 2024. Best wishes Marc, you really helped to change my life, in a huge way. To find joy in the process of learning art, removing the usual dread haha.
I am doing the Creatuanary challenge, I don't expect to finish all of them within the 31 days but I will see them through to the end, even if it takes longer, also being organized and breaking down the projects into actionable steps that makes my process more concrete and efficient
After 5 years as an artist, I recently revisited my fundamentals, achieving a professional level this year. Each week, I diligently sketch intricate anatomy ref studies and master studies and consistently progress. Referencing past studies, I've become my own teacher, critiquing and improving upon my previous work. I now say "Who did this mistakes? A week before me ain't he? Let's paintover this abomination and make the proportions better. Com 'ere!"
I made a few goals last year. One was to draw more than the year before and I did! I made it vague enough that I could easily accomplish it. Another goal was to finish a sketchbook and I got halfway there! So it's a start 💪😤
I'm quite glad this was about your mentality instead of physicality, I could perform the same rituals or do the same stunts as a professional without knowing any of the rhymn or reason, but even if I don't have those same habits, or even because of it, yet know the different ways to think about something, then I'll improve.
Hi marc! im sure you heard this alot but youre an inspiration to many including me! been studying illustration and your videos just makes it alot more easier. More power to you dude
I am not an artist by any means, I am hobbyist programmer with focus on game development and yet I found this video helpful, thanks a lot Marc. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, especially those that are more focused on mental component for self improvement. :)
If you ask me, I'd say rule number one: take some time to rest. I said REST. Not playing videogames or spending time on social media. I mean just do nothing. Creativity needs spaces. Good music is made not only with notes, but with silences between them too. Give your brain some real resting time and see the magic! 😉
Ok, that's a really good point for me. To be honest when I ever wanted to do stuff I just wanted to do it because I thought it is cool, I was never really thinking what I want to accomplish by doing and developing it. Setting goal is so crucial. Second thing, if you can't set a goal, you have to ask yourself if the thing you want to do really matters? Thanks MB!
This year I really wanted to get better at drawing, especially by using the art program. The realisation struck me that even with the discount it was really expensive when converted to my curreny 😭😭😭 I understand that it's definitely going to be worth the price, but I can't fit that one time payment into my budget, disappointingly. But even without it, I'll try to learn things without the program!!!
I got a sketchbook for my birthday so for 2024 I set my goal to practice something related with drawing every days for 3 months, I want to be able to draw from imagination without copying but I have a long road ahead.
That's great. Stick to it. The first few weeks it's gonna be hard to stay consistent but it's definitely worth it. Btw almost all artists use some kind of reference when drawing. They might make changes to that reference but when working they always always use reference. Drawing something with reference is always going to look better than if u didn't use reference. Especially if you're a beginner drawing without reference shouldn't be your primary goal. But definitely do practice drawing without reference once in a while. I'd say around 1-2 hrs a week can be spent practicing drawing from imagination.
My new years resolution for this year is to level up my art. I've been drawing almost my entire life already, but I felt it was time to really define my skills, hence why I decided to join the art school program right after Christmas. I'm seeing improvements already, mostly thanks to the gesture drawing that I've been purposefully avoiding in the past... I'm excited about the process and I'm sure that by the end of the year, my art will be twice as good as it is now! Thanks for your hard work, Marc!
Well I can proudly say that I came really close this time. I managed to accomplish everything except 1. And that one thing I didn't manage to do was complete one sketchbook. That didn't happen because I kept drawing in 5 different sketchbooks. I began taking art seriously towards the end of 2022 and I've made a lot of progress since then. In 2023 I did the 100 heads challenge. Drew every single day. Got better at gesture. Learnt some anatomy, made a short 6 page comic, started learning to work digitally and a bunch of other stuff Basically I think it's really important to try a lot of different stuff especially when you're starting out. I'm still not sure what direction I wanna go with my art but I'm definitely getting closer. You never know what you like unless you try it out. Also trying out different things can help to stop things from getting boring.
1. Build a strong vision around your goal, something you can point at and say "if I don't put in the work today I won't get there". 2. Set the standards that you have to uphold for that vision. 3. Build your habits and raise your standards slowly.
One big obstacle for me is wanting a art style I can’t have? Every art style is unique so you can’t just start drawing exactly like someone else and I know that but idk my mind just makes me not like my art because of this so part of my art journey this year will be starting to like my art again :)
I personally think that last point is the most important one. If you can't create habits that lead you to your goals, nothing else will push you forward. Once you are able to create and reinforce positive habits, it's just matter of time before the goals are met.
Will power and adhe dont mix, I reached most of my art goals, I also made 16 art goals last year. Ive been using themes and tasks instead of goals. When i make goals tasks instead it isnt quite as negotiable
What i am going to do is trying to post more frequently despite having work and school life choking me around and by having a schedule itll motivate me to create more content even if i dont want to that day.ill also start a channel in the near future to push out content
I loved this, but I think for the first part you meant “feeling/hype” instead of “will power”. The good feeling/hype come and go, but what will keep u going and be consistent is will power/discipline. Every time u keep working on improving some skill despite how u feel (especially when u are not feeling motivated) you strengthen your discipline/will power which are like your muscles. And the bigger your muscles, the more you will be able to do/push forward. For most people, the vision/goal may be great. But the feeling won’t always be enough to pull us. But what will keep us going is discipline/will power.
I think I procrastinate too _little._ I finished both of my 2023 resolutions by the end of May, so I set myself a mid-year resolution in July, only to finish that one at the end of September. And it’s not like I’m purposefully choosing super easy goals. One of them was literally to write a novel. According to my psychiatrist, there’s a possibility that I’m bipolar.
Your anime really improved a lot. The face is great. The rest looks good too, but there's a stylistic disconnect between the two. I think the shading on the body needs to become a little flatter too maybe.
Well I had a goal to finish first issue of my webcomic last year... And actually managed to do it, yay! However I don't know how I did it, because I had crisis countless times, and I admit, it was quite a chore.
Good advice, although I disagree with the willpower portion. Willpower is a muscle, and is something one can develop by doing the things that they don't necessarily want to repeatedly and consistently. Doing so helps build willpower and discipline in one's life, which then enables someone to do more. Like a muscle, willpower can also atrophy if you stop doing things you don't like to do. There's some really cool research that's been coming out of the part of the brain that controls willpower. Not really important, as the video more or less provides a good layout for exercising the willpower "muscle," but wanted to add that willpower isn't something that should be thrown out. People just use it wrong most of the time (myself included).
Thank you marc for the motivation and the advices! Does anyone here have couple advices or recommendations for color study plus shading study for beginner to intermediate artist? Thank you! ✨
@Marc I bought the art school program a while back but I didn't see how to going the private discord server. I was really looking forward to beginning part of a community. Is it still possible for me to get access or would I have to buy another course?
Honestly it's not procrastination. I've been drawing my entire life, and started digital 13-14 years ago. I'm not a beginner. But now it's impossible to find motivation due to AI being rampant already, stealing jobs left and right and making people misunderstand digital art + shit social media algorithm that doesn't show your art to your followers anymore unless you post 24/7 (which contradicts art taking days or weeks), no matter how many followers you have. It RUINS motivation. I've always drawn to connect with other people, which was easy to do before, but now...
With the digital art school program, since I'm using Clip Studio Paint, should I just skip the Photoshop terms? Or is there still information in them that's still somehow relevant to me?
I made a new year resolution to cut social media out of my life. Things like Facebook, Twitter and those other brainrot apps. I was spending 2 hours a day looking at mindless shit like politics, sports and video game dramas and I hate all 3 subjects with a passion. No more. It quite literally wrecks your brain and the only thanks you are getting is your data being used to train some LLM for free. A bit like how AI scrapes art from the Internet and allows some rando to make a living from selling AI generated soulless NSFW works

quite literally what i need. hope i can watch it soon
I loved this, but I think for the first part you meant “feeling/hype” instead of “will power”.
The good feeling/hype come and go, but what will keep u going and be consistent is will power/discipline. Every time u keep working on improving some skill despite how u feel (especially when u are not feeling motivated) you strengthen your discipline/will power which are like your muscles. And the bigger your muscles, the more you will be able to do/push forward.
For most people, the vision/goal may be great. But the feeling won’t always be enough to pull us. But what will keep us going is discipline/will power.
5:00 Ahh yes drawing for 30hrs a day Jack Hanma would be proud!

Only came to say that I love frieren
Your anime really improved a lot. The face is great. The rest looks good too, but there's a stylistic disconnect between the two. I think the shading on the body needs to become a little flatter too maybe.
my 2023 goal was not dying so im good
I just clicked on the video because frieren looked so good.
Well I had a goal to finish first issue of my webcomic last year... And actually managed to do it, yay! However I don't know how I did it, because I had crisis countless times, and I admit, it was quite a chore.
even the thumbnail example of a bad drawing is better than mine 😢
I'm gonna need a bigger weapon than last year...

i will just use the 1y plan video
Do any of you already know of some expert artist habits?
the sad truth is i am unable to draw even the left frieren because i have a disable hand
just made the math and this guys a fucking multi millionaire
I've been putting off watching this video for a week. :(
How do you work 30 hours a day 🤔🤔🤔
Procrastination: Nah, I would win!
Thank you marc for the motivation and the advices! Does anyone here have couple advices or recommendations for color study plus shading study for beginner to intermediate artist? Thank you! ✨
Friereeeeeen ❤❤❤
Are you gonna lose to procrastination in 2024?
Marc Burnet: Nah, I'd win.
Hi, can i use these free brushes on krita?
@Marc I bought the art school program a while back but I didn't see how to going the private discord server. I was really looking forward to beginning part of a community. Is it still possible for me to get access or would I have to buy another course?
Of course you can still join! There’s a PDF included with the program with the invite link :)
@@YTartschool thank you!!!
Also will power can be measured in Cookies. like for real like in a study they did the more cookies they gave a group the more "will power they had."
The face of this character you're drawing is so beautiful 🥹🤍 it's perfect wow
Honestly it's not procrastination. I've been drawing my entire life, and started digital 13-14 years ago. I'm not a beginner. But now it's impossible to find motivation due to AI being rampant already, stealing jobs left and right and making people misunderstand digital art + shit social media algorithm that doesn't show your art to your followers anymore unless you post 24/7 (which contradicts art taking days or weeks), no matter how many followers you have. It RUINS motivation. I've always drawn to connect with other people, which was easy to do before, but now...
With the digital art school program, since I'm using Clip Studio Paint, should I just skip the Photoshop terms? Or is there still information in them that's still somehow relevant to me?
CSP is 99% like PS so I def recommend going over the classes- unless you’re already a pro with CSP ;)
@@YTartschool okay thank you!
:DDD frierennnnn
nice artwork of my wife.
Idk man I just pop my Ritalin and it works generally just fin LOL but you do you man
jkjk
I'm guilty for comparing my art to other artists😭
I made a new year resolution to cut social media out of my life. Things like Facebook, Twitter and those other brainrot apps. I was spending 2 hours a day looking at mindless shit like politics, sports and video game dramas and I hate all 3 subjects with a passion. No more. It quite literally wrecks your brain and the only thanks you are getting is your data being used to train some LLM for free. A bit like how AI scrapes art from the Internet and allows some rando to make a living from selling AI generated soulless NSFW works
I enjoy drawing bananas and plan to continue doing so every day. My goal is to improve my skills and gradually transition to digital drawing
So, I can raise my standards to "Imma steal Marc's job".
Or am I painting too big a target on my back? ☠
Do you guys have discord?
Make the tutorial how how you manage to do that screentone thing at the end right now
