    Normally I'd tell students asking about it that their speed is a reflection of their level as an artist - the more experienced you are the faster you get, but it's more nuanced than that and I explain why in this class. Best part is even less experienced artists can take advantage of this knowledge and improve their speed far beyond what it would normally be 💥💥

    The “no pencil only pen”/“no undo or eraser” method is so useful. My lines have not only become more confident, but I’m putting down more correct lines than wrong ones. Our brains need the “this was the wrong line” feedback on paper to actively learn from the mistake. At least my brain does.

      Thanks to Marco Bucci's courses I started out always painting on one layer, and whenever I made a mistake I just painted over it again. As he said, confidence comes from knowing how to fix your mistakes and I can't agree more. This made me not afraid to completely obliterate something and just repaint it if needed.

    Limiting your layers to only 2-3 active working layers safes TONS of time and mental energy. I know every artist is tempted to think, "Hey if I don't flatten my 20 layers, I can always fix things easily", but in fact it's the opposite: you waste time simply trying to find the right layer AND struggle to see your artwork as a whole image.

    before art school, I used to make two finished pieces a month to hang up at my local pizza store. Now, currently in art school, I am assigned to complete a minimum of 40-50 drawings a week. Whenever I do a personal piece now, I can achieve the quality that used to take me 15 days in only 2. Alot of resources will shit on art school, but my teacher broke it down pretty simply for me- pressure makes practice, makes perfect.

  • @etheriousjackal5577

    I really have the problem where I end up adding detail to EVERYTHING.
    Once had a client who commissioned me contact me a few months later and say how they just started realizing how much extra detail I had put into every corner of the piece.
    From noticing how I rendered every single nail, to how I added texture and effects to every piece of clothing or how I even did etched marking on even the tiniest jewelries or had seperate strands of slightly different colors for the robe.
    They even sent me $20 as a tip after that and went on about how they just keep noticing more and more. It really made my day! But this is probably only like 1 in a 50 client.
    Most people don't even care about me sending them the high-res file.

  • @lemmetalkaboutthis
    @lemmetalkaboutthis 27 дней назад +59

    the whole thing about using less layers or non-eraseable tools is solid advice, but... well, as a recovering perfectionist/former gifted kid, the thing about that, is that you need to learn to stop giving so much of shit first. To let go of the idea of being good. Might sound dumb, but hear me out!
    I was so nervous about doing new things or stuff I wasn't really good at, that I shied away from trying out new things, or beat myself up over it too much when I did try new things and was bad at them - essentially the "what's the point of doing it, if I'm not perfect at it?" mindset that a lot of perfectionists fall prey to.
    You want to be GOOD at drawing, and for perfectionists that means there can't be _any_ mistakes or inadequacies, so you overwork your pieces, and quickly burn out, or even drop art entirely. You can't bring yourself to really "finish" a piece, bc there will always be more things oyu feel like you could improve upon, and if you DO deem a work finished, it still doesn't FEEL like you're finished. It feels more like "I gave up and said stop when it was good enough". Like phoning it in.
    And that's where you need to stop, step back, and learn to stop giving so much of a shit.
    Stop trying to be perfect, or even all that good, and fully embrace a mediocre skill-level, or, hell, even a bad one! See a mistake? So what? It's whatever! Keep going!
    Like he said, you need to learn to be confident with your decisions, and that also means to move on even if you _aren't_ fully confident. Stop constantly going back.
    It's perfectly fine to be bad at something you're just starting out with. Now, that may _sound_ logical and obvious, but once you're older, there's a sort of pressure there - a feeling like you can't be bad at something that's so easy for other people. Like you should already HAVE those skills, or the capability to pick them up really quickly. It feels shameful to be struggling, essentially, _especially_ if you're a former gifted kid.
    But if you can let go of that *need* to be good and always better, and accept your skill as it is, that will actually help you improve, because it means you're DOING art more. If you stop shying away from the possibility of making mistakes or not being good at something, you'll stop waffling about instead of just drawing, too. You'll get a lot more done, and if it's not perfect, then so what? It's better than nothing!
    You can't have quality without quantity, and you can't have quantity if you're so petrified of making a mistake that you re-draw the same line 50 times, and still end up unhappy about it. Even if it sounds dumb or paradoxical, but you can only get better if you stop caring too much about being better.

      Thank you SO MUCH!!! I can not describe how much I needed it. Your point of view really brought me so needed change to my own mindset.
      The only thought I came with in my situation was "If you dont like the result, dont correct it. Leave it. Next time you'll do it better". And every next time end up really better, it may be subtle, but! At least now I do not go over the top with correcting things over and over, again and again. It was so ridiculous, I could spend months on a single piece to never be satisfied with it.
      Your position is definitely a breath of fresh air! Thank you a hundred times! (And sorry for my english, I hope its readable and wont hurt your eyes)

    • @lemmetalkaboutthis
      @lemmetalkaboutthis 11 дней назад +1

      @@mildlymarvelous try mindless freeform doodles:
      You start with a random shape and built onto it, and nothing has to really be anything recognisable (like those images that simulate what having a stroke looks like), just shapes and lines and maybe some shading, totally abstract. It's great for a warm-up or to fill out five minutes, and to get your creative juices flowing, bc you essentially create new "problems" for yourself, that you then solve by filling out random lines to make shapes. It builds confidence, and since you're drawing nonsense, you can't do it wrong, bc there _is_ no right or wrong to it. So long as you do it at all, you did it!
      Then, do more mindless drawing, listen to a podcast, audiobook or video while you do, draw flashes of poses, or anatomy studies, or literally try to draw the next best object in your vicinity. Essentially start drawing stuff you _don't_ care about.
      Make messy sketches and leave them like that, don't turn them into finished pieces. Make a blob shape and try to turn it into a face or figure, as cartoony as necessary to vaguely fit the shape, and don't keep yourself confined to the blob if it doesn't quite fit the blob.
      Colour over the lines on purpose, make it artsy. Try to draw something super pretentious, and _act_ super pretentious while you're at it, like playing a character! "Yes, I am An Artist, and I do Important Art, ho ho ho!" It's fun, and it's so you actually get into the habit of drawing _at all_ *without* a care for the outcome, so you can sit down to draw things you actually care about with more ease. Those things eventually hammer into your brain that mistakes or unplanned lines aren't bad at all. And if you don't like how a piece is turning out? Fuck it. Leave it be, move on to the next, try again if you want. You could burn it or rip it and make something with that, or simply file it away, an idea stored for later.
      Step away from Serious Art for a bit.
      Doodle on napkins, on book pages, take a bunch of washi-tape if you have any and try to use it as colouring a drawing of for example a dress. Pick a theme and make a colage.
      Different styles, different mediums, and don't try to avoid getting messy!
      Get that paint on your hands, smudge those lines, rip a tear and cover the edges in gold, and most importantly: do it with vindictive pride as you mentally give that perfectionism the middle finger!

      They say the difference between a good piece and a great piece is the level of detail put into it.
      A good artist can get relatively good drawings relatively fast, but great artists will be able to look for those tiny details to add to their pieces.

    Vid summed up:
    1. Stick to your drawing process and figure one out
    2. dont waste time on bits that dont grab ppls attention, usually BG etc, max amount of time anyone looks at ur art is gonna be 5 seconds anyway
    3. Dont have a thousand brushes, good rule of thumb is having three main brushes and more than 10 is overkill
    4. stop guessing, if u unsure whip out some ref
    5. act confident, aka. if something looks good enough it properly is, dont waste time trying to perfect everything

    Hey Marc! I wanted to ask, would you consider making a video on how to properly use references insyead of just copying them?
    I am an artist that has complete aphantasia, which means it takes me longer to understand some shapes, and using references my brain defaults to just 1:1 copy and then adjust it for my needs. If you could show us how to properly break refs into maybe geometric shaped or sth like that, it would be amazing!
    I know you get tons of requests like that, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you taught me more in a year than I learned in previous 12 years

    I would appreciate a video on endurance. One of my friends recently spent 117 hours on an art project whereas I usually lose my motivation after, like, two. My uncle commissioned me to draw a full-body portrait of him on March 25th, but due to my lack of endurance, it took me until April 20th to finish it. I really need to learn how to push through such projects so I can complete commissions for people outside of my family who won’t be as patient.

    • @Junosensei
      @Junosensei Месяц назад +2

      Maybe I can give some tips?
      1) Motivation is something you can train. If you keep giving up in the middle of projects, you end up putting work into them without the reward of finishing and sharing them with others, which is a _huge_ motivation tool for most artists. Instead of starting huge projects (something all artists are guilty of), force yourself to work within your means. If two hours is your limit, do more two-hour works. Then expand it to three hours until you feel comfortable with that. Then four hours, and so on. Do it consistently, but take breaks when needed (too much narrow focus for too long can burn you out and make you less efficient).
      2) Don't worry if you struggle with motivation past a certain point. Some people (like myself) have ADHD or other issues that obstruct us more than others from sticking to one thing for long. You don't have to be a 17-hour-per-piece type of artist. You can find a happy compromise. Even then, a few times every year, I get the random urge to do something bigger than usual and finish it.
      3) Allow yourself to give up on some projects. Sometimes they don't work. Most professionals in any creative profession have a huge pile of unfinished works. JRR Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings, is _still_ getting his personal notes on unfinished stories released post-humously. My favorite manga artist group, CLAMP, are notorious for not finishing a handful of their published series and moving on. It's not "ideal", but it is normal. Let yourself be normal. =)
      Hope this helps!

I'm gonna watch this video before every practice I plan on doing until I loose that dumb habit. Thank you so much Marc, you're the best

    Having confidence is the thing that working for me right now, speeding up. Big strokes, little more messy but speeding up gradually. I was hesitant about my strokes cause I tried to do it perfect from beginning, but actually looking for other artist do things made me realize how messy their work is in process.
    Thats actually can be another tip - to see how people doing things, not observing results, observing process.

    The layer one was something I only recently let go of. That fear of making a mistake I couldn't undo was near crippling, but the longer you paint, the more you understand materials, or lighting, or just your own process. In the last few months, I went from a file of 100+ layers to maybe 10. And it does go faster, eventually. The faking bit, I'm still trying to learn lol. Never thought I'd get to this point tbh lol.
    Thanks Marc!

    Another important thing: KNOW YOUR PROGRAM
    Knowing shortcuts helps A LOT. Also adjusting them to your needs. It might be annoying at first to learn that but it will make your work much quicker later. I use shortuts for new layer, layer group, lasso tool, unselect all, tools like transform, move and HSV/HSL Adjustment.
    Also check your drawing program has tools like Palette Docker for saving your most used colors or Popup Palette for quick access to your brushes.
    And - set auto save!

    The biggest part about speed here is that faster failure leads to faster improvement.
    If you want to practice a skill focus solely on that skill.
    If it's linework bash out a sketch and try to draw confident lines.
    if it's anatomy study an arm or hand or foot or any body part that is a pain point for you.
    Then choose a different reference and do it again.
    Think about how much you learned from stage 1-3 of your process drawing and painting something.
    Sketches, lineart, paint.
    Now think about how much you learned from the end-stages of that process - lighting, shadow, specular highlights, bounce lighting, secondary light sources.
    How much did you learn doing those?
    The end processes whilst important to make things pop doesnt really do much for the learning process.
    If you can cut that out and focus on your pain points in rapid succession you'll improve faster.
    For me personally, sketching lineart might take me an hour and a half to get everything right.
    If I paint it takes me an additional hour or so on top and the finishing touches might take me an additional hour or so.
    If I'm just studying anatomy or foreshortening, hair styles, or lineart painting is completely wasted time. I could have produced another piece and learned more in that time.
    Likewise, if I'm learning to paint I dont waste time with sketching or drawing lineart. Instead I just break right into a paint session with a reference focusing on the values.
    He who chases both hares catches neither.
    You need to focus on one problem and tackle that before moving onto the next.
    If I were starting fresh I'd learn basic shapes, then modifying those shapes.
    Then I'd try to make clean lines for lineart.
    Then i'd focus on basic cel shading, then practicing blending cel-shaded shapes.
    Then I'd focus on organic things because they are more complex.
    Then focus on light theory.
    Then colour theory.
    Then the end processes.
    You can see if you tackled each 2hrs a day for a month before moving onto the next you could improve so much quicker.
    This would be 7 months of work that would give you a solid understanding of each moving part.
    As opposed to if you didnt target your studies and just tried to finish a piece a week over the same 7 months.
    We learn more from what doesnt work than what does.
    So make mistakes faster to learn what doesnt so that you can eliminate that when you build up to complete works.

    Used to work at a digital art studio where we did extremely elaborate realism artwork and everything had to be perfect and highly detailed when you zoom in due to the nature of the target audience.
    Learned to polish everything, but my speed suffered highly as a result, making the next gamedev job I had a nightmare. Thank you for the tips!

  • @justalex4214
    @justalex4214 Месяц назад

    Good tips, especially the one with the brushes. I used to collect tons of brushes as well and in the end only used a hand full of them. Nowadays I have like 3 or 4 brushes I use for everything and then an extra folder with a bunch of highly specialized fx brushes. The point with the limited layers is one I would disagree with. I personally hate to use the lasso tool to get sharp edges and use clipping masks on seperated layers for that instead and it doesn't really cost me any speed. With both methods it's a matter of finding an effiecient way to work with and getting used to, so I wouldn't prioritize one over the other.

    I dunno if this is the right way to word it, but sometimes I find myself procrastinating or staying too long on a section of a drawing because I feel like I haven't spent enough time on it for it to be good enough to move on to the next step, even if I barely change anything I'll still not feel ok moving on from that section, it's a real bad habit and a big time waste for me unfortunately...

    The "focus your efforts" section is very interesting. Gonna share my method of art appreciation.
    Because when I find an artwork I like I will spend many minutes zooming in on various sections to see what kind of techniques the artist employed for non-focal sections of the work, and if it's unnecessary or indeed harmonizes well with the rest of the work.
    80% of the work will be fast, but the last 20% of refinement will take much longer, and I try my best to truly appreciate when artists try to achieve that 100%.
    Am I in the minority? Probably. But it's how I like to enjoy art, and everyone's method of enjoying art is valid.

    Happy 7th anniversary to your program Marc ! I'm glad I'm part of your student,even tho I'm not the most diligent.I have one question about the level of detail in artwork,for concept art do I need to detail everything or to only detail some part of it like focus point etc ?

    • @YTartschool
      @YTartschool  Месяц назад

      Thanks so much for being a part of it!! If it’s personal art you do whatevs you wanna do! But if it’s for work where the next guy in line (the 3D artist maybe) will need to work off of your design, you wanna make sure that everything is crystal clear otherwise you’ll have people come back to you asking for clarifications!
