I LITERALLY said "I need to learn how to do backgrounds for my character art" and this video pops up a few minutes later. You are clearly the omnipotent messiah and I will not be convinced otherwise
Your joke-e personality is so refreshing with all this advice, it really makes the learning process much easier and light hearted, like "its all going to be okay". :D
OH HECK THAT 2ND BG LMAO- definitely gonna try this sometime! and the 3rd method is just- WOW. Looks super cool! Thank you for the tutorial, Marc, your channel is a treasure.
Amazing class as always. Learning how to do simple low effort high yield backgrounds, I can quickly put Rick Astley everywhere. I mainly Krita but this is helpful.
I'm drawing my friend's character for her birthday. I got the sketch ready and suddenly realisation hit me that I am not very proficient when it comes to backgrounds XD Thank you, you just saved the birthday present ^^
I actually use the gradient tool very extensively to create detail backgrounds with barely even using the brush too, in perspective too. It saves on hours of work it's impressive what you can do with it.
@@YTartschool while I would agree on that but it gets a lot a good details results fast that I can work off of, but it doesn't stop me to add my own details after. Here is an example of of in my own speed painting video link here: ruclips.net/video/tUc4Rocp0ho/видео.html
Another one which is a great fit is the "dynamic square" A quick cut of colour, or the same blur type you used on the whole image, but cropped down into a size smaller than the character, so aspects of their body pop out of the image behind them. Literally making an effect to "pop" out your character from the canvas, while beinng in the canvas. WoTC does this a bunch with their dynamic watercolour splash behind a character, but their feet, arms, or torso are out of the splash.
No joke, my wife just said to me, "You should add some backgrounds to your characters," and just like the explosion effect that Marc loves to use, this video appeared! Thank you so much for your help Marc!
I'm no painter and I'm extremely lazy with backgrounds, however for sure I can still apply these tips to my pics. Too many times I overthink backgrounds and spend so much time creating one when all it needs to be is as simple as these three examples in this vid. Thanks man
May I suggest a topic for a video, which also has to do with backgrounds? Let's say I'm working on a character and I really end up liking the character and the pose. And I want to take it one step further and add a real background. The question would be: Are there easy ways to figure out the perspective for the background so that the character fits in perspective- and size-wise? That seems always very hard, if you accidentally draw a character, who should be place in a 3 point perspective. Or if the character doesn't have much armor with hard edges, where you could start figuring out the perspective lines / vanishing points.
This is the second time in a row where I needed something and a video from you appeared covering just what I needed How... how do you do that.. I suppose those 99 years of experience made you omnipotent
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??!! I just found a treasure trove of very helpful tutorials and I've been binge watching your videos. Why haven't found you sooner. He helped me solve my art problems especially doing backgrounds for character arts.
I never comment on youtube, but this video came (in perfect quality) to attend me when i NEED the most and these bgs are exactly what i wanted!! Thanks Marc!! (also props for the 1M subs*, we all love you)
Omg, thank you! This is so helpful for the project I have been banging my head against the wall over. I tend to get caught up trying to decide details to include in the background and lose motivation to finish the actual piece.
Your classes are amazing, i trully wish (from the bottom of my heart) that God bless you and your family with peace, protection and joy in life little things. Cheers, Marc
This is the first channel I've found that says actual helpful shit. Like everyone else gives such general information but your channel gives all this great information for free! I have learned so much and improved so much in digital art and as someone who is in art school for traditional art- this stuff has been INSANELY helpful.
Very helpful! I actually do the last one make it so the white of the background are the clouds to feed into a chara standing on a well defined circular stand. Similar to a character figure. :) Another option is to do the same as above minus the ground. I paint using textured brush an almost airbrush/crayon/graffiti splash around the silhouette. I will try the minimal wall and blur backdrop next time. :) or even combine multiple styles to create a mix and match. 👏❤️
Ahhhhh yes!! A quality video to start my weekend. When I found Marc, it was one of the best things the youtube algorithm has done for me. Thank you Marc for being such a great teacher!! Also, how do you come up with so many crazy awesome ideas?? I mean, when I see your art I'm always reminded there are no limits to creativity. Anyways, have a nice weekend! (Your my favorite artist!!) (Also, the intros are the best I've ever seen for any youtuber)
Hi marc! I recently joined the artschool and im very excited about it :) Anyway, one tutorial which I dont think ive seen on your channel yet is fat bodytypes. I struggle with fat distribution on characters and it would be great if we could get a video on that!
Those are so easy i can't believe i never thought of this before! Very professional with no effort, we love this! Thank you for sharing your secrets with us Marc! I'll definitely try this out!
I'm sitting here just this morning, with a character piece I sank endless hours into, worked on finishing all week, and lamenting how I'm only halfway done without a background to fit or any good skills with such You have never been more timely with one of your videos Marc, I can't thank you enough for the struggle you've saved me. Bless your bald-mans wisdom!
You are so consistent and you probably don't even know that you're slowly but surely creating some professional artists thanks to your amazing tutorials. Thank you marc!
I always had a hard time trying to figure out how to do background and you had help me sooo much!! Even though I don’t do digital art I will apply it to my traditional art!
Thank you so much for this. I want to teach like you to people in my language simple and easy. It's my first year of being digital artist and I am improving a lot better thanks to you and people like you. Stay blessed and take care Marc Sensei.
The second background had me like 👁👄👁 I loved this video. It was short and informative. I need to try those background tips for myself and see what I can do!
I have a video suggestion. Please do a video on how to match the character’s colors with that of the background, so that it looks like the character belongs in that background. The lightning of the environment should affect the hues, values & saturation of the character, in order to create the appearance that the character is physically present in that environment. I’ve seen artists try to create coherent colors in all parts of the image by applying a layer filled with a certain color on top of both the background & the character layers, and then reduce the opacity of that layer, so that it looks like both the character & background have the same hue. I don’t know if you would recommend this method, or if you would use a different approach.
Always wondering how to create a proper background. I want one, just don't know how and what and meeeh... it's frustrating sometimes. So this was very helpful! Thanks
Thank you, i needed this. I recently found out about your channel and it really helps. Sometimes i tend to struggle and focus more on the background then the character for some reason, but now i know a more simple way. Thanks again Marc

I see you're joining us again this week for a new ART classss, that's a good life decision. Very smart 11/10
AYEE
nah i'd say this is 12/10 smart decision
If this is 11 out of 10 then what is 4 out of 10? That’s gonna be stuck in my head for a while. I have to say I really appreciate your sense of humor
Woah! you also do 3D ? i am learning 3D by myself watching youtube, it would be nice seeing how you sculpt and whatnot in 3D.
I LITERALLY said "I need to learn how to do backgrounds for my character art" and this video pops up a few minutes later. You are clearly the omnipotent messiah and I will not be convinced otherwise
You are the chosen one!!!!!
Proof that google is listening. (Jk)
Amen
me too
Ssme
I always finish watching your tutorials with the huge urge to start drawing right away and I feel very grateful for that. Very inspiring!
Your joke-e personality is so refreshing with all this advice, it really makes the learning process much easier and light hearted, like "its all going to be okay". :D
You should all trust Marc’s advice. He’s been doing this for 99 years ✨
OH HECK THAT 2ND BG LMAO-
definitely gonna try this sometime! and the 3rd method is just- WOW. Looks super cool! Thank you for the tutorial, Marc, your channel is a treasure.

It just tends to look very “software generated” unless you do something more to it. Gradients can be nice, but they can also very easily ruin a piece

You mean like this. - 0:30 😂
🥲
@@inisipisTV Yes, but dynamic lol
The 3rd way is just GENIUS, definitely will try that out with my illustrations soon
No joke, my wife just said to me, "You should add some backgrounds to your characters," and just like the explosion effect that Marc loves to use, this video appeared! Thank you so much for your help Marc!
i was so tired of my boring ass background... and then I saw this. YOU ARE A GOD SEND
These designs are so stunning, amazing work as always 😍😍
I think you singlehandedly are keeping my drawing faith alive. I hope i'll get better.
that last example is pretty nice, i've always struggle incorporating backgrounds so that's a nice way to do it thanks ^^
4:33 WOW, BEST BACKGROUND EVEER!
I'm no painter and I'm extremely lazy with backgrounds, however for sure I can still apply these tips to my pics.
Too many times I overthink backgrounds and spend so much time creating one when all it needs to be is as simple as these three examples in this vid. Thanks man
"oh, it's you again"
Took the words right out of my mouth
Marc is Omnipresent, there's no way he releases a video right after on a topic I'm interested in
I'm using the rule of thirds for most of my to-do drawings. So simplistic background helps alot. Thank ye thank ye 😅
This channel has the most useful art tutorials i’ve ever watched. You are funny too. Thank you so much for giving valuable lessons, Marc
The fact that you were able to incorporate an easily recognizable meme as a background, was just mind-blowing
May I suggest a topic for a video, which also has to do with backgrounds?

im sure that when im done watching this i have learned something new and usefull
I love your wacky intros as well as your amazing videos! It's what's so iconic about this channel
yup, the perfect help, on time!
Wow a video that actually legitimately has "simple ways" to improve art that you can immediately apply! Marc, you never fail to deliver on the tips!
Not related to the backgrounds, but the arts you're getting for the videos and thumbnails are having a huge quality boost!
This is the second time in a row where I needed something and a video from you appeared covering just what I needed
How... how do you do that..
I suppose those 99 years of experience made you omnipotent
Ah, our psychic sensei is back with another well-timed video ;)
Wow, thank you for this. I always use a stupid gradient as a background, but now I think I'll use this instead!
The 3rd one seems really nice, I love you Marc keep up the good work
HOLY CRAP MARC HIMSELF LIKED MY COMMENT..!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??!! I just found a treasure trove of very helpful tutorials and I've been binge watching your videos. Why haven't found you sooner. He helped me solve my art problems especially doing backgrounds for character arts.
Free class and explosions, it's perfect
Anyone else get kinda sad when the ending class music comes on at 9:16? It's like when the last good cartoon was ending on Saturday mornings.
I've been struggling with backgrounds for awhile now, so seeing this definitely will help, thanks Marc!!
Marc coming in clutch again 🙏🙏
Been a while since I checked back at this channel, good to see the intros are the same as the last time I was here
I’m going to art school soon and these vids help me soo much. Thank you
whenever i get an artblock, i will always come back to your channel.
When I get a job in art, I swear I will thank you so much! all the claps will be with you
I never comment on youtube, but this video came (in perfect quality) to attend me when i NEED the most and these bgs are exactly what i wanted!! Thanks Marc!! (also props for the 1M subs*, we all love you)
Mentira u commented me za
Omg, thank you! This is so helpful for the project I have been banging my head against the wall over. I tend to get caught up trying to decide details to include in the background and lose motivation to finish the actual piece.
That 3rd option may be the most work of the three.. but it is so inspiring! I love it.. I am so trying that out on my current project
I like the third way! I will try to do that on my next drawings. Thanks for sharing
Just what I needed, thanks :')
0:03
Marc that's too much background
Also Marc: That's where you're wrong kiddo
I do a square/rectangle of one colour behind the character, personally!!!
Your classes are amazing, i trully wish (from the bottom of my heart) that God bless you and your family with peace, protection and joy in life little things. Cheers, Marc

This is great. Characters are my strength, backgrounds and visual storytelling are my weaknesses. Gonna try to apply these tips asap.

Never late to catch up to mark's tutorials
Ahhhhh yes!! A quality video to start my weekend.
When I found Marc, it was one of the best things the youtube algorithm has done for me. Thank you Marc for being such a great teacher!!
Also, how do you come up with so many crazy awesome ideas?? I mean, when I see your art I'm always reminded there are no limits to creativity.
Anyways, have a nice weekend! (Your my favorite artist!!)
(Also, the intros are the best I've ever seen for any youtuber)
Marc: low effort more results
Us rookie artists: yesssssss
Perfect timing on this video. I’m glad you’re receiving my psychic messages, Marc.
Woah 99 years?!! it feels like yesterday.
Hi marc! I recently joined the artschool and im very excited about it :) Anyway, one tutorial which I dont think ive seen on your channel yet is fat bodytypes. I struggle with fat distribution on characters and it would be great if we could get a video on that!
That intro really cracked me up 😂😂
Thank you. I have been thinking about this for some time 🍓
Those are so easy i can't believe i never thought of this before! Very professional with no effort, we love this! Thank you for sharing your secrets with us Marc! I'll definitely try this out!
I'm sitting here just this morning,
with a character piece I sank endless hours into, worked on finishing all week, and lamenting how I'm only halfway done without a background to fit or any good skills with such
You have never been more timely with one of your videos Marc, I can't thank you enough for the struggle you've saved me.
Bless your bald-mans wisdom!
Have we been Rick Rolled in a class? Best class ever
The video i need thanks sir marc
thanks Marc!
You are so consistent and you probably don't even know that you're slowly but surely creating some professional artists thanks to your amazing tutorials. Thank you marc!
Ooh, that third one's a cool idea. It's kinda like making a base / mini-diorama for a 3D-printed figurine.
I always had a hard time trying to figure out how to do background and you had help me sooo much!! Even though I don’t do digital art I will apply it to my traditional art!
Thank you so much for this. I want to teach like you to people in my language simple and easy. It's my first year of being digital artist and I am improving a lot better thanks to you and people like you. Stay blessed and take care Marc Sensei.

0:49 finally.. the "Class Is In Session, Pay Attention"
With an actual expression of marc brunner sensei
Thank you so much for this lesson:))) It was so helpful
I literally sat with my mouth agape like it's so simple yet revolutionary

Thank you sensei ❤
U saved me when I needed u most tyvm 🙇♀️
I just finished a piece and kept looking at the background like “yea this isn’t it”. Then I see this here, so ready to try these ideas!!!
This is actually great
its like you post a video curated to solving my current issues. keep up the amazing tutorials
Always wondering how to create a proper background. I want one, just don't know how and what and meeeh... it's frustrating sometimes. So this was very helpful! Thanks
Using a blurry pic of Rick Ashley as a background is the top tier advice I come to class for
Thank you
Another One ✨✨👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
video: watched
class fee: paid
marc: thank you

You were here at the right place, at the right time.
we love this guy
Thank you, i needed this. I recently found out about your channel and it really helps. Sometimes i tend to struggle and focus more on the background then the character for some reason, but now i know a more simple way. Thanks again Marc
The last one is my favourite!! I can’t wait to try out that technique
Thanks
This is something I've been struggling with lately. SUBBED!

Thx! 🤗❤️
