Happy New Year everyone ! Lets draw, paint, create in 2024.
I was considering enrolling in your art program, but unfortunately, your videos are not captioned. Live captions aren't accurate, so they would need to be manually captioned. I'd really appreciate it as a Deaf learner! :)
Liking and commenting to boost this, so hopefully he will see it! It sucks that auto captions are usually so bad, but maybe he will be able to get someone to caption the courses, or someone else may see this and be willing to do it!
@@ninja_tony Thank you so much for the boost! I really appreciate it. I'm very passionate about learning art, but unfortunately there are a lot of accessibility barriers on the web. he can look into vendors that can help with that though! Also, he can edit automatic captions to make it is all accurate if he wants to save money!
I’m going to see if he has a twitter and tweet this at him so that way he can most likely see this. Because I believe that everyone should all have the opportunity to learn a little more about something they love
I always felt that I'm always a beginner when it comes to art. In the past 2 years, I actively watched your tutorials, received these particular classes on my own, & even before starting to learn on my own, I had to learn how to draw animals in college (Biology Major dropout here); I always felt I had lots of way to go. Just by looking at the skillset tree in here, I noticed the terms I need to focus on learning more are adv perspective, storytelling & character/creature/prop/environment design (also study more adv anatomy, my 2024 goal will be to stop being a coward of not wanting to learn where each muscle is). After watching this video, I realized that I've leveled up in a significant way & I have to feel proud of it! Thank you Marc! Happy new year to you & your community!!
I feel similar about it. I always felt like it's never enough. So I wish to both you and me have enough determination to move from the dead point and learn something new about art and build a bit more courage in this art learning journey. Art is not a rocket science. Just a skillset, like any other. I mean it is hard to master, but starting off is way easier than it looks like. Especially with the guides like Marc
Thank you, Marc, for all of your videos. I started following along on your year-long drawing challenge last year and I have made such improvement. I continued throughout the year and saw my drawing change firsthand, that was so awesome. Today is December 31st, 2023 and I have made it to the end of your challenge. Because of this challenge, I have decided to continue my studies in the new year and build a lesson plan for the coming year. Thank you!! I am grateful for you and your work.
I'm going in the new year with an art guide and a new passion for art! This guide and other ones like this are to going to very helpful for me. Can't wait to see more!
@@bobborosso5046”his” hobby? Drawing is literally one of the the most revolutionary and important hobbies in the entire world. But I guess it doesn’t appeal to people who are intellectually underdeveloped like you.
I really love how this is structured like a video game skill tree! It makes learning to draw even more fun. Definitely want to check out your paid courses now
Although I kind of already knew where my strengths and weaknesses are, I love how you laid this out. Somehow, it just made it a lot easier for me to pick specific skills to focus on. I plotted out my own strengths and was no surprises, but putting it into a tree like that showed me how skewed my skills were and in what area. Also, classless with drawing animals, I see.
I love how to Marc's videos and teaching skill grows each time. First time i watched a video from this channel was around 2022. I was a total noob. Since then i've been learning and practicing as much as i can. I would like to practice more but university is consuming my life. Unfortunately i'm in a law carrer which is far from what i love: art. What i really want to do in life is illustrating a story which i've been writing, and being able to draw everything i like, so that i can share it with everyone and be understanded. In order to quit university i need to convince my family, which is full of close minded persons (i'm also kind of close minded since i've been persisting on my goal for years). I need something good to show and be able to say: "its ok, i can do it, it will be fine". In order to achieve my goal the videos that Marc-sensei uploads are the best. Really thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤❤
I wish you the best in that project. But keep in mind this is something you do for yourself. In the end it will be about your emotions and sentiments. Be happy !
This is such a helpful guide!! I noticed that my art skills are all over the place, but this video also showed me exactly where and when i should improve each individual skill. Thanks for making this! I'll be sharing it with my friends too!
This is a holy map you have given to the world. Now more artists from all levels will have a better guide. Even if you borrowed the idea from someone else, it helps to get the information to other viewers.
I'm currently following this skill tree. So far it's been amazing, and my learning feels structured, opposed to spontaneously drawing from time to time where I learn absolutely nothing.
I love the skill tree analysis and career path retrospective. I'm a visual learner, this clicked well for me. It's nice to have an A-Z path for a guideline and to hold yourself accountable. To be able to see it daily is a great motivator to stay on the right track and not take on to many fields of study all at once. I'm a white belt in art, not blue or black, don't talk on all 8 limbs at once.
I’m in my first semester of Game Design and I am pretty happy with my general drawing style, but I’m wayyy too slow and could still improve in a lot of areas. So your videos are very helpful!
True. I must admit that I've been burnt out on my art journey a couple of times now. This time I really spent time working on why I didn't have motivation, why my creative hobbies were so mentally draining when in theory I should love them, how to develop good habits. While I can only really say what worked for me and you probably have a different bunch of things you need to address. Two things I found useful was the 50/50 rule (from Drawabox) where you spend at least half of the drawing time as fun free drawing and limit study to 50% of the time. The other is a book called Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg. Long story short, that really talks about removing barriers to starting a task you want to make a habit. So instead of doing it digitally, I set up a sketch book on my desk and can start really easy. It also talks about cheering yourself on when you start tasks and over time I've really changed my mentality by kinda faking it until I made it. Tiny Habits is all about how motivation is a fickle and unreliable beast and you have to arrange things in such a way you don't need motivation.
What's helped me so far is limiting my time drawing to 10 min a day. Keeping it brief prevents me from getting to hung up on things I may find frustrating while also giving me enough time to experiment with new ideas and be stimulated in short, concentrated bursts. Some days I don't draw, but I do try to keep that 10 min rule when I do.
Agree, I do 30 minutes a day. Whatever works for you. If you want to progress you can’t rely on motivation because skills atrophy over time. So when you’re motivated you’ll move 5 steps forward, but then you’ll burn out and move 4 steps back until you hit the next burst of motivation. However, by then you’ll need to relearn stuff which is very demotivating and feels like treading water.
Looking to become a comic/manga artist (although more as a side hobby) so this will really help to get me back on my feet; i'll make sure to come back once my webcomic's been made :)
Has anyone noticed that all three careers can be applied at once? Here is what I found out: My end goal is to make a comic book. In the beginning, I am doing "concept art" also known as reference sheets, to find the look and feel of the world, vehicles and characters. Having that, I move to doing the panel layouts, and each tell part of the story, it gets done with "Illustrations." I am illustrating the story from a script, just like when I had to illustrate stories from the text of a short story or classical novel. Lastly, I finish it up with a nice illustrated cover, oh man, it's comic book cover illustration. BAM! Got my comic book, I have created a comic book, or a manga if I decide to go that way. Really, Marc laid it out on the video. I hope others noticed.
I've seen a similar video about gamifying learning to draw, starting from clean lines and shapes to construction and how to branch out, ending in complex anatomy and posing and coloring etc. I myself wasn't sure where I am until recently. Now believe I am at a point where I am understanding how to observe better and I know the basics of perspective and even some 3D shapes, but I need to go back to using perspective grids. I like how your graph helps me narrow down what I want to focus on. I'm on the way to begin some basic body construction and try to sharpen up gesture drawing. I'm developing unique ways of observing and understanding things. You're helping me quite a lot.
I’m currently working on improving my art because I want to make money with it but I’ve been stuck and I didn’t know how to continue improving. Until I thought of starting from level 0 again and try to improve the basics before wanting to improve more advanced things so I’m happy I could find a video to help me with that, thank youuuu
I will focus on this scheme 100% I really need this structured guide. Im trying to pratice the fundamentals and the art skills within them. But, other than just deliberately practicing topics I need a guide. I feel although I'm improving with anatomy signficantly and can name bones and muscle groups of the upper body, I want to revisit the basics more in depth, construction primarily. I trust Marc and his knowledge/guides, I feel this is the right guide 😊❤
Nice man! I have been putting together a list of things that I think are fundamental in my art journey and I am glad it co-relates well with the BADASS ONE you created! Thanks for the video!!
Hey Marc! I've been binge watching your videos from where you first started to see your gradual process to help with my own, as I felt seeing the advancement would help me learn stronger and it has been with what I tried! Your teaching style is so comfortable and leaves you eager to learn more, your sense of humor too! You really drive my artistic motivation and I'm so thankful for it. I just bought your course today and I'm excited to finally dig into the deeper fundamentals of all you've done and to finally take my art to next level! :D
Hey marc. Happy New year! I'd like to know if you're going to upload a video with exercises schedules such as 2023. I really apreciate your work and art! 😌
Man, your video helps me a lot, because i was in the problem of "Where i start?", i was so frustrated before see this video, thank you so much. *Srry if my english is not too well, im practicing, and again MUCHAS GRACIAS*
thank you!!! this goes hand in hand with how I’d like to improve my art next year. the breakdown of skills is v helpful, esp with the way I have things planned out. this is great 🤩
Marc your videos have been super useful for me to learn how to draw better. I feel like I've made a lot of progress over the year thanks to your tips. I still have a long way to go, but I def got better. Awesome content
I am going to try following this roadmap. Thank you, Marc. I am trying to draw for about half a year and progress in understanding theory is there but with lack of practice. I read about drawing more than doing drawing lol. I don't know should I draw traditionally or digital, probably should both. And I suck at drawing from life measuring proportions with a pencil.
Happy New Year! This was a fantastic video to end the current year and welcome the new one! Thank you for your hardwork and guidance! I'll be looking forward to learning more from you!
One thing I've noticed and that many practicing illustrators need to hear is: Progress isn't dramatic. You may feel that you aren't making progress at all, and that you're stuck, and you suck, but keep doing it, and things will "click" into place without you noticing it. And it's not a dramatic moment of enlightenment. People miss the point waiting for such moments. Progress is more like: You try, fail, try again, fail again, for days, until you try, and fail, for more days... And then try one last time... And fail again... But if you compare your first drawings with your last drawings, the progress is real, and very noticeable. So, the key is consistency. Not seeing progress is very discouraging, especially at the beginning, but you're making progress, even if you don't see it, so don't stop practicing. Of course, when you feel like you're no longer failing, it's time to increase the level.
Sorry to say but, 3 hour gang. Apart from that, I’m someone who gets very frustrated at art tutorials being complex & all that stuff, but this tutorial is really great thx so much!
I've tried in the past to make meself one of these to work on and there's an issue that I ran into that's tough to solve. (apart from the one where I had no idea what I needed to learn in the first place). The 'skill checkpoints' are blurry, you don't know when you should move-on to the next thing. I'd like to share a couple of potential solutions to this (and hear some if someone else is offering). Bonus points if you know which sensei's work I got either one of those from. ^^ Wall of text time: >First option is open-world exploration. The idea is to learn vertically and go through the whole skill-tree several times, when you feel that you have a slightly *better understanding* of each layer. For this approach, it is important to consciously limit the depth at which you study any one point to 'good-enough for now' and move on to the adjacent ones or upper layer. Your goal is to get an idea of the lay of the land and how things work together, maybe fight a few mobs. Once you get to the top-tier skills at this level of depth and you can spot a few things in the lower levels that you can't recall or fully understand, this is a great time to start-over and do a complete pass from the bottom-up at a greater depth and maybe fight a few mini-bosses or something on this pass. Keep in mind that each of these passes can take weeks to months or even years and you have to do it almost every day (at least 10-15 minutes or so but more is better) for your memory to consolidate optimally. After a few iterations, you will confidently know when you have the skill to tackle the finall boss - Soldier of Godrick. >The other option I can add is to have a mommy-ship to upgrade. Choose an art style (or mix of art-styles, but keep it consistent for each complete pass of the skill-tree) and a time-frame (say, an hour or two, be generous) that is enough for you to draw a fully-constructed piece. Draw the best original, complete image in the art style you picked that you can manage within your time-frame. This is your mommy-ship. Now pick a few things you don't like and find the one that's a symptom of the lowest foundational-skill in the skill-tree. Work on that untill you can confidently feel that you have 'greater understanding' on the topic and your next drawings will look better in that regard. With keeping with the flavour of the exercise, constantly probe your confindence and you'll find-out when you're genuinely more confident - this is the point at which you draw another, original complete image within the same time-frame and art-style. This is your upgraded, fancier mommy-ship. If there are no more pressing issues on the lower-tier skills, go higher. This should be better for those like me whose skill-set is like a house of cards with many gaps that are hard to pinpoint. This can give faster results than the open-world approach but there will be more work to do and it still takes at least a few months for the big gains. At any rate, this is my backseating for this year. Have a great new years' celebration everyone and hope your next year is above average! o7
Amazing class as always Marc Just wondering as well if it would be possible to make the skill tree diagram downloadable with both the skill tree lit up and grayed out 🤔
I'm saving up to buy the art school course but what I wanna know is will this be helpful to me as a watercolour artist? While I love seeing digital art and it's process but watercolour is what I truly I like.
Happy New Year mates 🥳I said I'd include the links to the relevant classes in the video description but I've been editing this for the last 20h straight and I need to sleep lol it's 6:30AM, I'll get to it when I wake up 🤭 I love you all, thanks for another great year of support for my silly art videos

Until I thought of starting from level 0 again and try to improve the basics before wanting to improve more advanced things so I’m happy I could find a video to help me with that, thank youuuu
I will focus on this scheme 100% I really need this structured guide. Im trying to pratice the fundamentals and the art skills within them. But, other than just deliberately practicing topics I need a guide. I feel although I'm improving with anatomy signficantly and can name bones and muscle groups of the upper body, I want to revisit the basics more in depth, construction primarily.
I trust Marc and his knowledge/guides, I feel this is the right guide 😊❤
Gonna go hard with drawing this year, I really want to get better!
Nice man! I have been putting together a list of things that I think are fundamental in my art journey and I am glad it co-relates well with the BADASS ONE you created! Thanks for the video!!
Hey Marc! I've been binge watching your videos from where you first started to see your gradual process to help with my own, as I felt seeing the advancement would help me learn stronger and it has been with what I tried! Your teaching style is so comfortable and leaves you eager to learn more, your sense of humor too! You really drive my artistic motivation and I'm so thankful for it. I just bought your course today and I'm excited to finally dig into the deeper fundamentals of all you've done and to finally take my art to next level! :D
That skill tree is awesome. Really helps with planing future practice.
12:02 Was that GTA 6 Loid and Yor?? 😂
God, I've been looking for a video that could help me to know how to start for AGES. Thank you!
Thank you Marc
Happy New Year!! 🎉

You’ve been the main channel that helped me on my art grind this year thank you so much
Hey marc. Happy New year! I'd like to know if you're going to upload a video with exercises schedules such as 2023. I really apreciate your work and art! 😌
i am gonna start today
Man, your video helps me a lot, because i was in the problem of "Where i start?", i was so frustrated before see this video, thank you so much.
*Srry if my english is not too well, im practicing, and again MUCHAS GRACIAS*
Perfect video right before new years, Marc knows the exact time to drop these bangers!!
lessgooo
He's done it again ❤🎉 Happy new year Eve 🎉🎉
Thank you for this skill tree. It will definitely help to allocate "drawing exp" much better
Something to guide me in the early 2024!! Happy new years to you and other people!
thank you!!! this goes hand in hand with how I’d like to improve my art next year. the breakdown of skills is v helpful, esp with the way I have things planned out. this is great 🤩
Marc your videos have been super useful for me to learn how to draw better. I feel like I've made a lot of progress over the year thanks to your tips. I still have a long way to go, but I def got better. Awesome content
Thanks a lot Marc !! I'll definitely share this with the students I have, who think you need to absolutely master EVERY Thing.
Happy New Year too !
I am going to try following this roadmap. Thank you, Marc.
I am trying to draw for about half a year and progress in understanding theory is there but with lack of practice. I read about drawing more than doing drawing lol. I don't know should I draw traditionally or digital, probably should both. And I suck at drawing from life measuring proportions with a pencil.
This is so great!! would it be possible to make a printable version?
It is what it is
Happy New Year! This was a fantastic video to end the current year and welcome the new one! Thank you for your hardwork and guidance! I'll be looking forward to learning more from you!
i used to watch every artschool video before, but im just stuck even when i try my best. looks like i leveling up wrong skill point lol
I wish to learn to practice digital art which include software functionality and processes
i want to concept artmaxxing, see you again 5 years
I was just thinking about this last night as i feel trapped in the intermediate stage, thank you mark
thank you for this!! i'm really lost as to which skill should i work on first, it's overwhelming!!
Happy New Year, after watching this video I feel that i am more to doing illustration but ofc i am still slowly working towards it.
a talent tree is what i needed
Damn loving the new editing style, thank you so much for the incredible video ❤
Happy New Year, Marc. 🎉🥳❤
You've helped me improve throughout the year tysm for your service to the art community 🥰
Got a new objective this year
One thing I've noticed and that many practicing illustrators need to hear is: Progress isn't dramatic.
You may feel that you aren't making progress at all, and that you're stuck, and you suck, but keep doing it, and things will "click" into place without you noticing it.
And it's not a dramatic moment of enlightenment. People miss the point waiting for such moments. Progress is more like: You try, fail, try again, fail again, for days, until you try, and fail, for more days... And then try one last time... And fail again... But if you compare your first drawings with your last drawings, the progress is real, and very noticeable.
So, the key is consistency.
Not seeing progress is very discouraging, especially at the beginning, but you're making progress, even if you don't see it, so don't stop practicing.
Of course, when you feel like you're no longer failing, it's time to increase the level.
100%
Happy New year to You and your family
this will be my roadmap for 2024
Last video of the year, Les go
Awesome Frieren Art. 😊 Happy New Year as well!
Happy new year Marc! as useful as usual, I love this video!!! thanks for your 20h+ work!!! 🤩
THANK YOUUUU SOOOO MUCHHH!!!! now i see the bigger picture...
Happy new year, Mr. Brunet. I'm drawing the main protagonist in my manga.
Today marks the long road to becoming a draftsman, REMEMBER ME!!!
Damn...That's a huge tree X)
It's helping a lot, but I don't understand how you can study poses without anatomy knowledge?
I love u bro
Best teacher of the year for me haha ❤❤
I loved your diagram, I'll try it. Also I bought your program :D
Please make a videogame based on this skilltree. I'd play (drawing) that!
Thanks, Mark!
This Helps a lot! Thanks you so much!
🎉🎉 happy new year Mark 🎉🎉
Interesting take that kinda meshes gamer brain logic into skills for art.
is there a plan to make a downloadable pic for the skilltree like the schedules?
Happy New year 🎉
Great practice to start of the year ❤
thanks
This was super awsome and helpful.😊 I hope you could make a basic tutorial for illustrations clip for absolute beginners.
I know 3 artists who are comic artist, illustrator and concept artist. You are three of them.
Oh hi Marc. Happy new year :D
Sorry to say but, 3 hour gang. Apart from that, I’m someone who gets very frustrated at art tutorials being complex & all that stuff, but this tutorial is really great thx so much!
I've tried in the past to make meself one of these to work on and there's an issue that I ran into that's tough to solve. (apart from the one where I had no idea what I needed to learn in the first place). The 'skill checkpoints' are blurry, you don't know when you should move-on to the next thing. I'd like to share a couple of potential solutions to this (and hear some if someone else is offering). Bonus points if you know which sensei's work I got either one of those from. ^^ Wall of text time:
>First option is open-world exploration. The idea is to learn vertically and go through the whole skill-tree several times, when you feel that you have a slightly *better understanding* of each layer. For this approach, it is important to consciously limit the depth at which you study any one point to 'good-enough for now' and move on to the adjacent ones or upper layer. Your goal is to get an idea of the lay of the land and how things work together, maybe fight a few mobs. Once you get to the top-tier skills at this level of depth and you can spot a few things in the lower levels that you can't recall or fully understand, this is a great time to start-over and do a complete pass from the bottom-up at a greater depth and maybe fight a few mini-bosses or something on this pass. Keep in mind that each of these passes can take weeks to months or even years and you have to do it almost every day (at least 10-15 minutes or so but more is better) for your memory to consolidate optimally. After a few iterations, you will confidently know when you have the skill to tackle the finall boss - Soldier of Godrick.
>The other option I can add is to have a mommy-ship to upgrade. Choose an art style (or mix of art-styles, but keep it consistent for each complete pass of the skill-tree) and a time-frame (say, an hour or two, be generous) that is enough for you to draw a fully-constructed piece. Draw the best original, complete image in the art style you picked that you can manage within your time-frame. This is your mommy-ship. Now pick a few things you don't like and find the one that's a symptom of the lowest foundational-skill in the skill-tree. Work on that untill you can confidently feel that you have 'greater understanding' on the topic and your next drawings will look better in that regard. With keeping with the flavour of the exercise, constantly probe your confindence and you'll find-out when you're genuinely more confident - this is the point at which you draw another, original complete image within the same time-frame and art-style. This is your upgraded, fancier mommy-ship. If there are no more pressing issues on the lower-tier skills, go higher. This should be better for those like me whose skill-set is like a house of cards with many gaps that are hard to pinpoint. This can give faster results than the open-world approach but there will be more work to do and it still takes at least a few months for the big gains.
At any rate, this is my backseating for this year. Have a great new years' celebration everyone and hope your next year is above average! o7
Hey can you by any chance send us the skill tree document? It will really help with conditioning my mind to learn by gamifying my skills
Time for studies happy new year
Amazing class as always Marc Just wondering as well if it would be possible to make the skill tree diagram downloadable with both the skill tree lit up and grayed out 🤔
I'm curious to gauge which 'build' everyone here is most interested in.
As a manga artist wouldnt it be the best to have ALL of the skills on the skill tree? Maybe except coloring?
Yeah I agree, I think it's best to just complete everything on the skill tree in general
I'm saving up to buy the art school course but what I wanna know is will this be helpful to me as a watercolour artist? While I love seeing digital art and it's process but watercolour is what I truly I like.
I really shouldn’t have watched this while going through creative burnout. 🤣 I think my soul just left my body.
Let's go sensei!!
