i love how your art is just based on basic shapes and form, and then you let the viewer fill the gaps of those shapes, making it even more interesting to look at even tho the basic concepts of your form doesnt necessary create complex details, or even exact shapes, a good example of this is the phone u draw, its not a perfect rectangle, or even trying to match the phone shape, it just a shape measured by eye, and yet it just feels right, my point here is that the art you create is created in such a simple and basic way yet the viewers brain makes the extra work of "filling the gaps" to make the piece a lot more eye catching than other artist
That was lowkey an incredible lesson to watch, I felt several brain gears turning just by watching you translate the shadows in the photo to the illustration. Noras secret weapon is her great taste in aesthesics, I got so many great inspirations from seeing her gushing out on twitter about some random fashion thing I'd never even have known exists otherwise. Her game is on an entirely different level from the average cosplayer. And yeah she's also hot. And come on, guys, what's more likely: Marco Bucci not knowing Chainsaw Man, or him knowing how the YT comment section works a little too much? xD
this is a very common thing in anime style illustrations where they make the shadows really light (like 80% brightness or more in a multiply layer), because in those character illustrations it's more about showing off the designs, costumes and poses rather than showing light and atmosphere. In a sense they're minimizing the effect of shadows so that it still shows a bit of form but doesn't interfere with the main themes. If they want the form of something to stand out more, they would give it a darker and more reflective material (black glossy hair, black leather shoes, black tights 😏) so that the highlights bring out the form more. Another reason is because heavily rendered anime faces look quite uncanny so they do everything they can to flatten the face as much as possible 😂
And the reason why the shadow is blurry like that is because it’s very diffused light? And it must be powerful enough and focused in a smallish spot to cast a shadow so dark. But I can see multiple values in shadow separated. This must be because so many bounces can be made with the outer parts of shadow, however, the inner parts have a tough time being hit by bounced light (the outer part of the arm with the phone and left part of the waist in the photo
What a great video. It's such an interesting way of looking at reference. A different take on abstraction and realism. Thanks for sharing! This may be the most important art video I've seen in years!
My brother. You are not analyzing the light and shadow of the photo You are analyzing Tatsuki fujimotos character design with the monochromatic color limitation.
I thought the rule was to reuse the same colors because less is more with palettes. For example using the same black for pants, dress, and tie. So I’m a little confused by this
Its true, but here he's talking about the value(as whole img is somewhat black&white), each value differentiate itself from surrounding to make the image read more easily. Using 2-3 different values for the painting would be great for study purpose, but seperating groups of values for each object/material would make image more easy to read.
This light vs shadow choice boils down to stylizing vs realism but also can be justified with specific lighting. If the key light is directional and there is hardlly any fill light or bounce lights.. all shadow values will converge to similar dark values. But if there is only strong fill light and bounce lights then each local value will remain in its shadow family more or less, also values ranges will be narrower too. But, at then of the day, Ambient Occlusion always occur... I guess in this case, this is where stylization takes over 🙂
This is one the single best presented and most effective lessons on so much. Thank you for the awesome video!! It was an absolute joy to watch and really sparked some inspiration!
That's Kobeni from Chainsaw Man, which started as a black-and-white manga and is now more commonly known from its anime adaptation. So yeah, that analysis of the shape language pretty much nailed why it has those elements: because they're good for animation and grayscale.
@@Pryvyd9 that made me laugh, i see the point the outfit looks plain, but he did only mention the word cosplay once, and the whole video is about grouping values to make image easier to read, and not the cosplay itself
Thanks to Norafawn for her great work. Find many more of her cosplays at @norafawn on Twitter & IG (minor NSFW warning.)
❤ minor? Lol

marco creating one of the best fanarts of kobeni without knowing who she is.
most lore accurate shit that can happen.
"wow! t-thanks for this art of me!"
"uh, I don't actually know who you are, I just used this for a study."
"....ah..."
Great example of core concepts!
i know you like kobeni

So good I hit 'like', then a moment later, tried to hit 'like' again forgetting I'd already hit it. All the likes for this one!
this is the closest we'll get to seeing michelangelo drawing anime cat girls
Marco starts with M, like Michelangelo... This must be more than a coincidence.

Nora has been EVERYWHERE recently.. but this was the last place i expected her to show up.
I was looking at the thumbnail myself and thought "There's no way that's Norafawn in a Marco Bucci video of all places"
I knew her way before cuz of her nsfw cosplays and how she shows her feet it's cute
@@livetochange974 oh.
more impressive than your painting is your editing, its so buttery smooth and crystal clear. thanks for the upload!
Fr his videos feel like a high budget TV program sometimes
And what's even more important are the ideas he presents! They give me insight not only towards art, but also life and how to look at it and enjoy it!
kobeni!!! norafawn's selfie is so aesthetically pleasing. it has a really clean and refreshing look to it, and the black contrasts so nicely
why did I click expecting to see Marco crossplay as Kobeni
same
goood I was not alone lol

It's Kobeni from Chainsaw man 😺

Mr. Bucci what did you show me
aint no way I see marco bucci painting an anime character
marco covering the "x" with the old twitter icon ;_;

KOBENI MENTIONED LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Best teacher on youtube.
i love you Marco bucci i love you forever and ever
Just when I was in need of teaching 😅🥳
Coolio, I need to learn to seperate my values even more
My brother.
You are not analyzing the light and shadow of the photo
You are analyzing Tatsuki fujimotos character design with the monochromatic color limitation.
norafawn's cosplay is certainly eye catching even if you dont know the reference
I'm a zoomer and I also have no idea who that is, so I don't blame you. Thank you for a nice breakdown
Entertaining and informative.You're the best Marco.
I hope I become a successful artist RUclipsr like you. ❤❤❤
😭disassembled her
Great video! I think it’s Kobeni from Chainsaw Man
kobeni from chainsaw man
awkward choice of subject lol but good video nonetheless
I felt like you gave the shoes the least attention yet on the final piece they look almost photorealistic!
I love Kobeni so much! As a character she is so pathetic in a cute way and secretly a badass.
what would we do without you . great lesson , great explained , like usual ! thank you

Did she know about all these when she cosplayed?
Marco comes to the weeb side, one of us, one of us!!
Never been this fast
Nice Kobeni fanart and art lesson

It’s always good to watch your videos, I follow you from 10 mins to better painting, I hope meet you some day
You said your not cool? But i concur.
It's Kobeni from Chainsaw Man, but I assume you already figured that out by now.
I didn't have a notification for this video. I just had a feeling "I gotta watch a marco bucci video today" and look what I found! New video xD
This is one the single best presented and most effective lessons on so much. Thank you for the awesome video!! It was an absolute joy to watch and really sparked some inspiration!
"What I learned from a cosplay." The moment he scene her post he imagined this entire video in that singular moment.
The character she's cosplaying as is "Kobeni Higashiyama" from the Chainsaw man series
Sakura from one piece
I don't think I'll realistically get into art, and I didn't understand a lot of this video, but this is really quite fun!
You really are great and explaining things! That is your magical gift.
Marco Bucci just did a Kobeni fanart…. What a time to be alive
Its Pikachu
Nice Kobeni fanart 👍
Its kobeni from chainsawman and this is a beautiful lesson
that's konbini
its nora :0
there’s no context to this comment. i’m just here to see and learn
Kobeni is my unexpected waifu
Magnificent video as always Mr. Bucci.
i love your videos so much!!!! Thanks so much for making them!!!
Kobeni!!!
👍👍👍
OMG KOBEN
Why is it so funny but good x)
Marco I know what you are

You are the maestro! Love it.
Good taste bro
its the pose that composes
Love u
Cool video
You do not know how far the cosplay rabbit hole goes.
It's gonna lead you to xxx on twitter.

Ah, yes. I research cosplayers too *cough*
Marco you cant be thinking about Cosplayers, your married! ;)
Getting Leyendecker vibes from this
This an AD?
No, if it was an ad he would have said so.
That is not a good painting
It has nothing to do with cosplay. It's just good photography and a suit.
Doesn't the suit and photography counts in the whole concept of cosplay
@@Rishabh_Bahuguna I just say he puts to much emphasis on it being cosplay. If you take out the hair it's basically just a photo of a bartender.
@@Pryvyd9 that made me laugh, i see the point the outfit looks plain, but he did only mention the word cosplay once, and the whole video is about grouping values to make image easier to read, and not the cosplay itself
@@Pryvyd9i guess he admires her work (artisticaly) and wanted to credit her as he follows her on insta long before,
So it's about a proper photography and composition, and not the cosplay. But sure, you do you.
But it's still a cosplay so what's the issue here.
art is about presentation in all of its forms, almost as if we do it to communicate to eachother
Of course it's not about the cosplay itself. What were you expecting from a channel about painting?
Its Kobeni
