I think the most impressive thing about watching experienced artists isn't even the full rendered pieces that they make, but exercises like this that show a mastery of volume and perspective. It looks easy until you try it yourself.
for real i started drawing this year and follow his 1y plan and the 30 day challenge from a while back. Drawing the Coffee handle in perspective and attach to the cup gave me headache
please can you guys tell me what webpage, app programe or whatevr does he use to draw and paint? I just can't find it. I already have an account in Cubebrush but where do I start!!!???
At this rate, he'll probably end up doing his entire art school program for free on RUclips. Can't believe the quality of information this man provides on this channel, thank you so much Marc!
@@sotothecreator I would never charge for something I was giving for free, but it's true the longer form videos that were inspired from my program (still much shorter though, the anatomy module alone from the program totals 10h) weren't getting much attention so I stopped making them :/
@@YTartschool i never saw this reply. I think the content you're putting on RUclips now, is incredibly valuable while still being at decent length and great pacing. I wouldn't be surprised if you put it behind a paywall to begin with. I think if you remastered your older, longer videos to fit your current style, i think those will do decent! I'm not too familiar with your older videos, so idk if you're already doing that, but that's just my opinion! Again, your current videos are really good and I am super grateful that you choose to give the information for free!
@@YTartschoolaww no :( I really appreciate the work you put into all of your videos! The anatomy videos were great and deserved more views imo, anyway thank you so much for producing so much helpful content on here!
See, I was sceptical about this video, I thought, "yea sure nice clickbait" and here I am, few days later imagining a body im drawing as a cluster of 3D shapes and I'm here to report that it was not a clickbait, this tip ascended my drawing skills to a whole new level. Weird poses I had a huge trouble with are no longer my enemy. I am free. I can draw anything.
I realized my art was getting better at the moment i started working more with forms and perspective. I think perspective the most to get the other aspects like positioning, shadows, value and etc. Another fun fact, the brain really does map everything you can see in minimal forms. It starts to be something done automatically. The phrase "simpler is better" make much more sense now.
I've been having the problem of not being able to draw my characters in multiple angles while keeping the design consistent, and boom, I get the notification of Marc's video just in the right time Thanks for today's class
Trying to take my art from hobby level to professional level. Your videos are some of my absolute favorite I've found. They are so helpful. Thanks, Marc!
exactly what I need right now. Lately I've been frustrated with my character's anatomy which always doesn't fit the angle and after seeing this, I finally know about further training to get better
These 3 things are my absolute favorite thing to draw. I am so excited to draw that kind of stuff again after seeing this video and I will use your examples as inspiration!
One of the very rare ! video where you can master arts, through one vIdeo. Very helpful, effective and futuristic tips..Thanks It's a loss those who didn't seek it.
I’m going to enroll man love your teaching style man. I’ve been drawing all my life and just find more ways to improve through what I’ve learned from you!
Mind = blown as usual. You've not only taught me how to draw heads and feet and hands now, you've taught me that the fundamental shape deformation techniques I was already practising with figures actually apply to absolutely everything you could possibly draw. The techniques I was using to visualize, picture and deform the torso, head and feet and hands were all just adaptions of basic shape morphing. Which means I was trying to draw things like machines all wrong - I was abandoning my previous skillset because clearly it just wouldn't carry over to drawing machines, right? But, you know, people are machines too! Really lumpy, weirdly shaped machines! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting this up.
i've been drawing for /years/ and struggling to really polish what i do, but man - these classes are so easy to digest and put into practice. it makes my struggles with aphantasia as an artist easier too ! tysm for all this content and thoroughly but consicely explaining everything with examples.
I'm so impressed with this that I had to comment. I've been looking for good warm up exercises and yooo-- this is it!! Finally!! 👏🏾 Without question this is the most helpful vid I've seen. I especially enjoyed how you put it all together at end. Brilliant. I subscribed 😁
What an absolutely amazing video. Great exercises, clear explanations and super entertaining. At the very end I was blown away. All of this for free is criminal (minus the class fee of one like PAY IT). The moment I can I will 100% be diving into the art class. Amazing work
u have no idea how much the 1 month challenge helped me 😭😭😭 it was all super helpful and fun you're the best art teacher ever!!! also following the yearly one and now, with these exercises, i'll become like you mwahaha, an art god
Learning about these practices really helped whenever I don't have a dedicated time to spare. And is forced to squeeze any free time just to practice. A good 10 - to 15-minute art practice doodle, with simple shaped balls, really does scratch that art itch. Thanks Marc, looking forward to the next class.
Hey Marc, merci pour le paquet de brushes et les idées d'exercices de warm-up! Je faisais déjà régulièrement des volumes durant quelque minutes pour me réchauffer, mais l'idée de les «sculpter» est vraiment bonne, merci encore!
1. Volume Rotation: - draw simple volumes like cubes and cylinders, then rotate them in space - when these get too easy, you can use more complex forms such as structures of volumes - if drawing from imagination is too hard, don't hesitate to use references from real life (e.g. a soda can or something) 2. Volume Deformation: - as you get better at the first exercise, start to deform the simple volumes by curving/twisting them, making parts of them wider/thinner etc. 3. Volume Carving: - carve out parts of those simple volumes and structures you have been practicing so far, for example by adding a bevel to a corner, etc.
I love that you have a paid course, but still has good videos for free in your channel. And people who don't have the money aren't impaired because of a paywall, because your free lessons are very intuitive and to the point, Thank you so much!
Me spending like 10 mins to understand and draw bent cube so it looks fine and then seeing this guy do it in 10 sec without erasing a single line ioi. That is what differs newbie from master, you can tell he put hundreds of practice in each line and thats truly impressive
I watched the video 3 times but I couldn't figure it out. But the way you were explaining made perfect sense when you was talking about curves , beveling, and constructing it made be think if blender which made it easier for me to understand. Great video art teacher.
You are by far the most helpful and my favourite youtube artist, thank you for all these free lessons. They have helped me more than I can put to words.
Thank you. I just found your channels and just watching your videos makes me feel as if i'm improving thanks to the theory etc. Most of my problems come from lineart, as mine tends to look kinda sloppy
Dude...I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO Now i can practice this, i never undertand that i can manipulate the shapes like that Thank You dude really I hope You channel keep growing 😊
Hey Mark! Could you make a video of how to keep things to scale/in proportion when drawing from life? I try to sketch buildings from life a lot but their dimensions get really skewed. I'm wondering if there are things to keep in mind when practicing. Love your channel and the instructions you give!
You're seriously sharing this information for free I can only imagine what kind of things you'd be teaching in your course, one day I wont need to imagine and I shall find out
Thnx! I could draw a drawing decent enough in the past, but when starting to care about realistic anatomy, proportions and perspectives and started to draw from there, NOTHING literally worked... I felt like every drawing was wrong. I had to start over from the basics, so now I'm back at boxes, basic figures and depths... I'll get to that again, I already have a nice personal style filling in the parts when the realistic anatomy and the logical natural basics are build.
I used to be homeless, malnourished, not loved by anyone. After watching this video, I got myself a mansion, Gordon Ramsay as my private chef and a girlfriend. Truly one of the most life changing videos of all time.
man, i've been watching you since the bluefley days, your content has a different tone to it now that I've come back to art again at this point in my life. Glad to see that your channel, program, and website has grown to what it is.
I used to draw very well when I was a kid, (for a kid). Been wanting to get into drawing, but the loss of skill has been quite discouraging. This video reminds me of how I learned these basics when I studied industrial design. I will try to follow this. Hopefully it comes back to me and will help me draw again.
I already did some of the first exercises, but never tried the third one. It's strangely helpful, and I realized I'm better with drawing than I thought ; my line work still needs a bit of help.
Thanks for this exercise. I'm still horrible at imagination, so I've been using a kneaded eraser for deforming and carving. Hopefully, I'll be able to move onto pure imagination soon.
just started this and it's helping me understand art more I could draw things I normally couldn't figure out how to draw, who would of known everything is in 3D even on paper understanding 3D is useful.
To get good at drawing or really anything you have to simplify your learning. In this case, with a drawing, there’s a couple things you gotta learn perspective hatching, shading, etc. focus only on one aspect first get good at it and then move onto the next.
I was just thinking of exercises to do while idle to improve my art and then I saw your video... IT'S GOD SENT😱🙌😇 thank you so much... Super grateful 🤧🙇
6:15 Literally 1 second when you zoomed out I questioned the shapes and when you asked the question I was like "ITS THE HUMAN BODY!". Great video once again Marc good stuff!
Mac Brunet. Is a awesome teacher and he is a professional at what he does. I enjoy his RUclips channel and all his videos they have helped me to improve with my own art. And when I am ready to buy his courses I will but until then I will be learning from his RUclips channel.
Something in the video is not what it seems, can you tell? 🤭🤭
idk
You were drawing pieces of something while teaching
The legs are backwards?
The blue hands?
that mannequin with the upper leg missing
I think the most impressive thing about watching experienced artists isn't even the full rendered pieces that they make, but exercises like this that show a mastery of volume and perspective. It looks easy until you try it yourself.

Please, Could you recommend which of his videos to start with? There's so much good content that I don't know where to start learning the basics

Unfortunately his great video has little views. So he stopped doing them for free and pretty much put the content he in his art school
I could be convinced to pay for his class anyway just to support him as well as have additional resources within reach.

Man, him freehanding all those 3D shapes and getting them perfect on the first try was some black magic kind of stuff...
The reveal right at the end is brilliant and demonstrates so viscerally why learning the basics is so important.
And the fact that he did it in perspective too, such a cool professional move

i really appreciate your videos not gate keeping everything behind ur art school ad, as someone whose broke this really helps
This was LITERALLY THE EXACT THING I was struggling with today. Precisely an hour ago. This IS GOING TO HELP and is fun. Thanks mark.

I would add, making 5 Platonic solids will make you level up even further if included in this method, it truly unlocks the minds creative juices
im drawing for 2 years and only now i start understand what i cant draw perspective and anatomy from my head. Thank u, i go to draw

always satisfying to watch those little tiny pieces you draw 🤙
I think you should add quick gesture drawings to this vid. capturing poses in just a few fast lines. Gestures and volumes will take students far.

Always use reference if possible

probably my most favorite video yet. Greatly appreciated
omfg that was the most mind blowing lesson that ive ever had
I always clicked n like before intro ends. Because I always knew something big I am about to learn.
1:05 This reminds me of that Simpson's episode where Marge was working for a pastry shop and was doing only sphere, rods and half moon shape XD
I teach art to kids.. THIS is the lesson I keep reiterating.
The assembly of the différent parts done during the masterclass session just blew my mind! Merci maître !
Beautiful. Watched the whole thing
Thanks. For the everything. You are one of my fav artists.
