Thank youuuu
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for teaching so much for free.
THANKYOU!! you have inspired me to do one of my own... but of Rihanna.
Ah this is the kind of thing that was really lacking when I was beginning, not knowing where to start, or what to start from. This kind of handholding approach you see more often in actually paid classes with a huge time alloted to it, and people starting out don't even know that it exists most of the time. A lot of channels talk about fundamentals on a high level, but don't dig in what it means to do them on a moment-to-moment basis for the markmaking process. I'm sure this is gonna be a godsend for a lot of people, so accessible on youtube. I apreciate all the effort put into the rhetoric, pacing and clarity as you go. nothing is left to be misinterpreted, but the foundation is there for everything to be expanded upon, for all skill levels. Amazing stuff Marco.
Thanks!
if i could write/talk as "eloquent" as you do, that would be nice. Sometimes i think i'm good at english but then i realize i'm not lol
where's your profile pic from? it looks nice
@@titansenpai1188 thats a "self portrait" lol
@@alexmehler6765oh i was asking Kamui lol
Tip for anyone trying this method out: don't forget to make the background layer light gray. A stark white bg will produce some unfortunate results in the color step since white + a color in the color layer equals white. That means your shading in the shadow layer will get color but the gaps will not.
Thanks for the tip!
Totally agree!!
Finished a study drawing after watching this video and didn't realize what I did wrong until you finally mentioned it 😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Once again Marco is making tricky things look effortless.
He can't keep getting away with this
Not that tricky when you get used to it, honestly.
I find his painting technique very unique and really hard to emulate. It makes his tutorials not really tutorials to me as I can never follow how he paints.
A testament to how amazing of a teacher he is
@@spag5296 personally, I think he's a great artist, his work is amazing but as a teacher I cannot learn anything from him. I find him inspiring and therefore more of a motivator than a teacher for me.
In case anyone is on the fence, I can say that the seven hour lesson on planes of the head that he mentions is worth like ten times the price. Not only did I learn about the planes of the head, but also to be more mindful of planes no matter what I'm painting.
Thanks!
As a self learner for many years, I can tell you that, this approach is the most effective and time-saving method for illustration! A lot of professional artists have kept it secret to the other learner. I read many issues of ImagineFX magazines, and no one really share this kind of approach, instead they just blur away the details and useful information. I am now really glad to learn this method finally properly, and it help me paint a great deal faster and keep my works consistent. Thank you, Marco, truly this is the most important tips for all the beginning artists on RUclips so far.
For real. I really hate how most of them don't break it down like this. What's the point of even buying the magazine when we get better tutorials for free on RUclips? I really only buy the magazine for inspiration and to keep up on things- when I feel like it.
You're the best teacher! Also for anyone who wants to learn how to draw the head, I can highly recommend Marco's 7 hour course he mentions in this video. I wish I found that course when I started drawing heads.
Thanks!
10:02 This is such an important tip, I've been learning painting for like 4 years and this is something I've recently became conscious about. Little things like this pushes your work to extra levels and almost nobody talks about it or even think of teaching it. You are the best, Marco!
For sure. It's like Sinix and his use of blues and reds in faces... Looks incredible but I find it so hard to understand where or why to use them.
Actually if you observe more stylised art, it's easy to pick up on this. I picked up on it in months. It took me much longer to understand some more basic concepts though.
@@thegochie afaik, they are slight reflections of the sky and the ground. So blue when it's something facing the sky, and red when it faces the ground
I downloaded so many brushes for CSP but the fact that you made such a beautiful painting with the basic brushes shows that it’s all about skill and not the brushes
Bless papa Marco going out of his usual work flow just to show us how it can be done
If you press "H" on the keyboard, the canvas will flip horizontally, but it's just a visual flip, not a transformative one. The advantage being you can flip back and forth very quickly, and you can still work as normal while flipped. *I think H is the default key. That's what mine is mapped to. In any case, the functionality is there.
I haven't picked up a pencil in a long time. But your tutorials make me want to get a tablet and try to get back into drawing.
Go do it my dude!
😌💪 do it
God bless you. The depths of RUclips I had to go to find someone who breaks down the "line art to rendered painting" process. Saved, liked, subscribed.
JESUS CHRIST THIS ONE IS THE BST VIDEO YOU HAVE MADE ITS SO BASIC AND EFFECTIVE I LOVE YOU OML
After more than a week of eating tutorials on how to color grayscale painting and testing them for myself..
This is EXACTLY what i was looking for!
It's so comprehensive with all the breakdowns and stages.
All the other tutorials are either too scatterbrained, talk about basics but obscure how to actually do things, or just talk about basics but assume you're on their level and that you're an art student or something. You can tell they don't actually care enough.
Thank you so much! You're simply a hero!
Love how you simplify these art concepts through pinpointing what we need to know as beginners (omitting the more in-depth knowledge which only serves as clutter until you grasp the basics ) with tactful visuals to boot.
your tutorials are always so helpful and informative. You keep no secrets to yourself and for this you are a true teacher. Thank you
Also, I just wanted to add that in CSP you can flip the canvas just clicking the flip button under the navigator :) (those two arrowheads pointing at each other :) )
Good tip!
@Medic, Im Engineer I did that years ago xD But I had to delete first original shortcuts and set the ones that were comfortable and logical for me to use (h and v for horizontal and vertical flip) and < and > for rotation.
But that's not universal for everyone - the fastest way in a tutorial to make it work for everyone is the one click on the navigator :)
@Medic, Im Engineer I use 1 and 2 for brush size xD
The 9 key is default to flip the canvas
Wow, I always see those options for layers and only understood multiplier cause it’s intuitive but I didnt know how u could use other to make it easier to add shadows and highlights to painting. I have portrait practice for class tomorrow so this was conveniently helpful for me. Thanks again dude✌️
In CSP, if you go to View -> Rotate/Flip, there's an option to flip the canvas without it actually flipping any pixels. It just shows you the canvas flipped. This is more useful, because since it doesn't actually flip any pixels for real, it's instant, no matter how big or how painted on the canvas is.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU!!! I was so confused why it was doing the same thing as Photoshop when I updated from 1.8.2 to 1.10.6... it looks like they changed where it is.
There is also a row of buttons underneath the thumbnail viewer (navigator, bottom row 2 arrows pointing at each other) . You can even open up a new version (aka find it in 'New Window' ) iirc and have that one flipped all the time.
This is by far the most helpful tutorial for me especially that I use clip studio paint. I've been looking for a tutorial that simplifies transitioning from grayscale to color and this is the perfect tutorial. Thank you so much really 😭😭😭😭
Once again Marco simplifies things that others have tutorials about and I still didn't really get. It just proves once more that you can have abilities but knowing how to teach is an entirely different matter. Great tutorial Marco, thanks 👍
You really helped me out! Thank you so much for all of the videos! Keep up the good work!
I'm always amazed that Marc manages to compress making a walk through of a full painting he did while still sparing some time to teach us some of the most basic stuff ever. He's hands down the best teacher I've ever seen (art-related) whether that's here on RUclips or back when I was in high school.
Wow I learned like a zillion new things about light and shadow. Probably the best tutorial editing and mastering I have ever seen let alone for a digital art study. Like the painting is nice but I'm so impressed by the way you teach with this amazing symphony of motion and sound and in such a short time frame. (Applause)
i'm usually lazy about sitting down and learning but you just teach in such a clear and simple way that it is super intriguing to watch and learn and I just smile through the video as my understanding and hunger to learn more grows! it's feels so good to draw again after long breaks and inconsistency but this time it feels like maybe i've found a way for myself to keep at it without burning out and actually advance my skills. I'll be learning a lot from you to get through my block with colors as i've always done black and white on paper.
I've been doing digital art for over a year and this is one of the most important videos I've seen yet. Also you're very clear on your layers which so many tutorials aren't. Thank you so much.
I was searching for a video on exactly this topic a few days ago, you're a life-saver, Marco!
Sees drawing tutorial in my timeline: "cool."
is Marco Bucci tutorial: "OH SHIT!"
As always, excellent! Marco Bucci giving masterclasses away for free. Thank you for your generosity to the art community, sir.
Your time,efforts, and insights are very much appreciated Marco!
I just want to say a huge thank you so much! I am super new to art and I have never even thought to import line art and then use multiple different layers like that to actually render the full piece. I've been trying to do it all in one layer for colour and it was a nightmare, this method is so much more relaxing and really gets you thinking about how the light interacts with your subject and all sorts of good things. This is such a good beginner friendly video, you have my gratitude!
i love the fact that not only do you show us what to do, you also explain why we need to do them
this deserves a million views as a beginner digital artist i’ve learned SO MUCH in the span of 18 minutes tysm for this
I've never really seen anyone explain highlights as "reflected light that goes straight to the viewer". It's usually just called "that part of the object getting the most light". And frankly the reflection explanation makes much more sense.
Man, this is like one of the best tutorials out there. Explaining the decision making is such an eye opener.
as someone who purchased both the human head + color tutorials on marco's website, it's always a treat to see the applications of that information show up in his other videos. strongly recommend for anyone looking to dig in deeper :)
Strong voice, confident, and always gets right to the point without bla bla. I do like your videos. They help me a lot to understand things. Thank you!
I've just discovered this video and I feel like I'm going to come back here several times. Thank you, Marco!
As an artist that has a more simplistic art style, this has reay helped me make my draiwngs look more alive! I plan on making my art style realistic but still simplistic, not this level of realistic but to the point when you look at it you just go "wow!" Thank you so much!
I know this is really late, been awhile since I've been buy, but I just wanted to say I'm really happy you're using programs like Clip Studio Paint, and Blender, it's a more modern-friendly digital art sort of environment, what with tons of people switching over to CSP and Blender becoming more and more awesome.
Thanks for the great tutorials!
Once again an absolutely necessary tutorial, thank you for your high quality work !
Finally a useful art video on layers and painting, been looking everywhere for a proper understanding.Thank you!
This is one of the few tutorials that actually helps a lot. Thank you!
tons of great info in this short video. thanks!
Your demo has a lot of detailed information and generalized instruction but comprehensive and given the time you did the demo in abbreviated. I have enjoyed your video very much. Thank You
Thanks for the fun and informative tutorial! I'm definitely gonna check out those classes you mentioned; thanks for taking the time to do these free videos on youtube as well :)
Your channel is so good. Every video is extremely helpful and this is no exception. So much information in a condensed way. Really motivates me to do better work!
Thank you!
Watching this is a nice refresher for the digital painting classes I took on art school. Luckily, my teachers are all working professionals and taught use about this and how clone layers and clipping masks save literal hours of time, because it breaks everything down into manageable chunks and it makes it easier to iterate and edit when a client/art director wants something changed. Judging by the comments and tutorial videos, it seems like this isn't shared for free a lot on RUclips.
The head-drawing course is super helpful, I learned more from it in a couple vids than trying to figure out anatomy from scratch for YEARS, save yourself the pain and buy it!!
The Best tutorial I've seen so far. Thank you Sir!
Timestamp for layers, for those like me, who did not have any idea what the different layer TYPES are supposed to do.
0:50 Line art; Type: Multiply | Multiply layer highlights the richly dark line art.
1:26 Shadow; Type: Multiply | Again, the multiply type highlights the darkness of the shadow.
7:30 Ambient occlusion; Type: Multiply| Ambient occlusion refers to the deepest pockets/areas of shadows. No ambient light can find their way here.
8:49 Flat colours; Type: Colour mode | VERY IMPORTANT, in the colour mode layer type, it doesn't matter how dark or light your colour is (up and down the colour box). Only HUE and SATURATION matter here.
10:25 Lights; Type: Overlay | Overlay layer affects both light and dark, as well as colour!
15:53 Highlights, Type: Screen | This type of layer is the opposite of multiply, it highlights the lightness! Everything painted on here goes lighter.
5:20 TWO shadow types: cast and form!
14:34 Use tone curves to adjust dynamic range of layers.
There are other layers but these are the most basic, and for self-reference, I'm limiting my attention to these first. Also, thank you for pointing out that there are two kinds of shadow; CAST and FORM! This is one of the most important revelation for me!
thanks for this! adding more timestamp of the other layers:
01:06 BG
12:24 Egg effect
17:06 Hair strands
OMG! so much information delivered crisp and to the point! Awesome!!!
I've been through countless different ones, but this is the absolute best beginner's tutorial video for digital painting.
THANK U for describing what the different layer options do to the piece. (screen mode can only go lighter) I loathe watching those really long videos explaining each and every one and still not getting it. I much prefer your manner of explanation. AND THE END? you offer us to do the piece, share to IG, perfect. Very motivational. Thank you
It's so awesome you're teaching this, man. Thank you :D
This is gold mine of valuable lessons. Thank you so much for this!
HOLY CRAP!! Where have you been all my (artistic) life?!? I swear, I learned more art theory from this video than a TON of books!! Thank you so much!!
one of the best tutorials I have watched, thank you x
Thank you so much for this tutorial , you have no idea how much i was looking for this technique.
Such a beautiful way of teaching things. Really makes me think that it's very easy to draw digital paintings. Learnt a lot. Thanks
Exactly what I have been looking for but didn't know how to search for it! Thanks a lot for the tutorial!
Amazing as always! The way you teach is so good.
Fantastic video. I just learned so much!! Thanks. The main thing is every artist whom i love talks about it but nobody ever fully describe it. And i wish to draw like them, for this only using their work for reference not working at all. It’s frustrating. I am telling you this video really helps
I love PewDiePie but I really wish this was the most subscribed channel, I have never seen anyone teach art like this in RUclips, usually they leave so many little things out it becomes a major issue in keeping up, but you don't leave any detail behind, truly skilled
thanks for explaining the layer modes very clearly.
The video is awesome like always
Thanks for clearing up what ambient occlusion is!
Love love loooooove the video and the advice! Already tested it with Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint - it works like a charm
This is amazing, this is the tutorial I needed to lead me in the right direction
Holyholy, this Is a condensed masterclass! Thank you, Marco!
I was wondering how to improve thid specific part pf my digital art and in 7 minutes yo got through a whole lot of useful information. Thank you! You have a new subscriber!
There's a lot of useful info in such a short video. I really like how your method simplifies an otherwise very complex problem. Tbh I was a bit appalled by the anatomy when I saw the thumbnail but the approach itself is very comprehensive.
Loved that tutorial! Thank you very much, I'll try it out myself later this day ^^
Thanks. You are a really great teacher.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! This is so informative but very digestible. What I'm looking for guides is why artists do certain things so that I could slowly integrate that to my own. Unfortunately, most guides only tell you to do this and that, without me understanding the concepts. So when I start a piece different from what was in the video, I'm having a hard time, i.e shading in a different perspective.
Dude this was awesome! Thank you so much!!
This video is exactly what I needed and was looking for ^-^ thank you!
You seriously deserve more subscribers. I've improved a lot due to you. I really hope your channel blow out soon.
Such amazing tutorial, thank you so much, dude.
I’m so happy that you used clip studio paint :’3
Awesome lesson!!
Amazing! Increíble! You are special teacher. You are gold man!
Amazing tutorial!!!
Marco Bucci is a magician!!!
Thank you so much for this. So well explained.
Awesome as usual. Thanks Marco ^^
I went to art college for 3 years and got a BA. Im honestly not kidding but this 20 minute tutorial taught me way more than 3 years there.
Thank you so much for the tutorial
this refreshed me again. thanks marcoman
Sadly a cannot press more than one like... It's such a great video man, thank you so much! I have always had troubles with coloring, now I'm sure it will be fine. Hope you will make more videos about digital coloring in the future
This is probably one of the most helpful videos on rendering paintings I've watched so far! Appreciate the content, but was wondering how do you make the brush for the hard-soft and flipped hard-soft for shadowing? It seems super useful for shading on the edge of surfaces without using the lasso tool.
pls i needed this been painting on one layers for so long i- THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mind i share some of my tips in Clipstudio Mr. Marco. On 1:29 There's another technique/method i found beginners who are having hard times when it comes to color values on grayscale is they can try on adding the flat colors, hair, skin and clothe, just make sure to not over saturate them or else it won't look good and then create a correction layer for hue and saturation above that and drop their saturation to "0" to turn all the colors black/white/grey, or use the layer color (ctrl+B) and change the color to black, then create a new layer which you can work on as their shading. From there you can On/Off that correction layer when you're done shading. The rest is fixing shadow/lighting colors and paint over for corrections.
This is exactly what i was needing
you are one of the best teachers i know
Thanks!It's really helpful!
Marco Bucci 2 years ago: Here's why I don't separate grayscale from color.
Marco Bucci now: Here's how I separate grayscale from color.
I'm not calling you out, just think it would be interesting to hear why your workflow changed so significantly.
I don't think it has changed instead it is intended for the video. Breaking down every step makes it more clear and easy to understand, after all it is beginners friendly
@@neruck true, it's quite apparent that he doesn't work like this usually. In a professional setting, it's way faster to block in both the value and color at the same time
i dont think the point of this video was to show his specific workflow, just a workflow that makes things easier on people who might be new to painting and have major difficulty with colour and value right off the bat
this is for beginners
Was thinking the same thing. Some artists I follow suddenly went to grayscale all of a sudden and it got me off guard lol
This is very useful , amazing tutorial 👍👍👍
Thanks 😊 It helped me out a lot
