Here’s the timelapse video for the full painting ua-cam.com/video/tp8JwzW7Qow/v-deo.html. You can still get my brushes for free here cubebrush.co/mb (first in the list) for a little while and you better have a great weekend or else...
you deserve way more apreciation than what u get sir, actual legend
Such a legend has a video for just about everything, keep up the good work and thanks for all the help 👍
super helpful - trying that on the next drawing! Thank you for sharing :D
Please tell me which monitor (not a tablet) are you using?
Thanks for the great video!
Hey Marc. I can't find the one brush you used for the shading in your brush set, called 'Skin Cavity' (I paused the video to check). I have tried them all and it's not amongst them. But I guess it doesn't matter so much. I think what I have to learn is edge control.
"by this point, i have merged my shading layer with my line art layer"
how brave are you, man??
xD exactly. I would never do that on purpose probably!
@@TheDragonsHerbLake if you’re nervous you can always duplicate the layers before you merge and keep a backup
@@loreandlegendtalesfromourm2915 thats right!! but then it wouldnt make sense anymore to lok after not having many layers
an absolute madman

Young artists nowdays are so lucky to have older artists explaining those kind of stuff. I started digital art almost 10 years ago and I remember how difficult its been at the beginning cause there werent as many tutorials as today. So great job! Keep going
Well i started digital art like 5 years ago and i learned mostly from observation. Im not the most patient person so i never watched tutorials or went to art classes
I started digital art about 14 years ago and back then I watched a lot of speedpaints that helped me out. Sure I guess I lacked the commentary and explaining parts, but only getting to see another artist's process helped me a lot in improving myself. I'm not at a professional level but I like to think that I "get by" as an artist at least
Started a week ago, day 1 : depression
Day 2 : tutorials
Day 3 : learning for myself
Day 4 : absolutely in love.
@@Fi1thyStink4 you fell in love with digital art at day 4?
@@tlo193 That's what my Mom said.
Marc: I don't like when there is too many of them (layers)
Me: *nervously looking at my 69th layer
those are rookie numbers son, im on my 420th layer right now
I used to think i open too many layers too (~100), until i saw a girl with 3xxx layers in my art community. Now i just open as much layers as i prefer, bc i have known a legend
@Jurima for a simple/one person in the painting i would use ~ 35 layers, too. But recently i draw big picture with 5+ people so it can't be helped 😅😅

lemme cry with you. we were taught basic digital art back in eight grade but it was such a short time.
I’m crying too
@@milesprocrastinates9547 I doubt we're ever going to learn digital art so I just started learning it a year ago
@@forgottenecho2163 i think just learning digital art by yourself is more effective, tbh. the teacher (at least our teacher) only taught us the basics, she never mentioned anything 'bout the proper (or at least the easier way) to shade and highlight and whatnot.
@@milesprocrastinates9547 Oh, that's good to know, I just self taught myself how to shade and highlight in a week or two, but when we were learning how to traditionally in Art Class, we barely got anywhere. I think it's better I rely on myself to learn.
I’m not even exaggerating this is probably one of the better digital art tutorials on UA-cam. So many tutorials get into the knitting gritty but the hardest part is knowing even where to start. This tutorial goes over everything in *just* enough detail that it’s both extremely helpful and simple(!). So that way we can get started and dive into more in-depth stuff once we have the basics.
i think its nitty gritty lol knitting is something else entirely :3
Brain: I know how to do this now
Hand: No, no, you don't
But wow this is like magic for me
I felt that. Or when you get inspiration you just forget how to draw and ur like "Why does my brain hate me T^T"
Man, I just started painting digitally, and it's so hard. I have more difficulty on the technical aspects like brush setting, layers, and all the tools, there's just so much lol. Thanks for making these videos Marc, helped me a lot :)
Yeah, same, one week ago I found a brush that matched with me and it was like my drawing improved by a lot. In fact I took an afternoon to just paint color, merging them with different brushes only to improve my technical aspect, also customizing shortcut, trying to figure if my workflow was ok like that and all.
@@Malik_Mlk problem w most tutorial vids they only focus on what tablet you should use, what drawing app etc., when starting digital art. They also talk about learning anatomy, learning all the basic stuff that you might have already learned traditionally and only a few tutorials focus on which brush to use, what opacity is, pen pressue stuff, layer, tools etc., I'm so happy I've found a few yters focusing on this.
agreed, its pretty overwhelming haha
you guys have any good video recommendations that helped you specifically with that?
@@seurn7801 There's many channels that help with the specifics of digital art. You just have to look for them.
I'm gonna say it...

Ey! I do draw in Ms paint!
You could use drawing apps or programs to paint/shade the skin

Me:... today is a good day.
Wait till you find out that shading brush isnt in the brushpack 😅

4:20: SHADING (multiply)
8:30: tint/reflection (hard light)
10:50: lights (overlay low)
14:45: polish (go back to tint layer and add glow)
but what he do in tint layer? use just black or colors?
How to do the tint man
In my understanding I use uhh a bit of similar colors or either vibrant colors like some orangish a bit
thanks for this!
so he doesn't actually color does he?
Finally an artist that don't say "sHaDiNg wItH bLaCk = bAd 😠"
Btw this was so helpful thanks 😭
it usually is, but it works well with certain styles. also how the fuck do you have 189k subscribers 😺
@@sofqie i did videos before but deleted them
What kind of videos
It is said for traditional art 🤦♀️
01ramunai why
You have no idea how long I was looking for a useful tutorial on color. There seems to be literally nobody who explains color in practice, everybody just tends to start spewing out color theory.
You are a gem, sir. Thank you.
“Because you can’t teach people how to color! That’s telling them your secret!”
🙄 this is why Marc is my go to art teacher!

Can relate •∆•
Lol same
Lol, sometimes i color correct the layer after I'm done (with a backup locked in a folder lol)
Awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this!!
Your consistency in quality for your videos is amazing! Thank you for your work!
I've learned so much from you. I usually paint with traditional media, but the things you teach translate to oil painting as well. Thank you for your lessons and great videos!
Grisaille technique?
Ohh I love it. It is pretty similar to my way. I will try it out OWO

Keep it up 👌

Just discovered this and quickly this has become my favourite channel! Some amazing videos and content here - thank you I’m learning a lot
This is far and away the best coloring tutorial I've come across - especially how each stage allows you to focus on and refine one aspect at a time. I looked for tutorials on how to separate doing shading/values from color before, and just found videos saying it can't be done with good results. Thank you. Your art is beautiful.
I'm blown away by how 3D it starts looking after a few steps! I'm starting to be a real believer in this technique 😄
7:55 "I hate layers"
Shrek: say what?
This was a really comprehensive, really informative and easy to follow tutorial which helped me a LOT!!! I combine a lot of these steps and kinda rush, and hope the amalgamation of it all looks good, but you're absolutely right to take the time needed and every step should look and feel whole. Damn. Thank you very very much for this video!
I'm saving your videos in a playlist, i love em! They are sooooo useful, thank you for sharing your knowledge to all of us!!
I've been just kind of coloring on a whim when it comes to my digital drawings and while they don't look bad, I just hate feeling like I dont know what I'm doing lol I'm definitely going to try this! Thank you ^^
Yes try it! process makes a huge difference you might surprise yourself :)
I always wonder, as a professional, how long does a piece like this take you to complete, and what should someone going into the industry expect regarding efficiency?
Hey Daniel, this was about 6h so far based on the recordings (over a few days), will prob spend another 2h on polish + background. It's a simpler design where what I decide goes 100% so it's relatively quick, but you can expect to spend 10x that if you were working on a promotional piece for a game, or splash art. There's usually a lot of back and forth between the artist and the team until everyone is happy.
@@YTartschool ah reminds me of my breakdown of the reality of design and how CHANGING A DIV COLOR can take a week.
One does not make almost any design in one attempt
awesome! i like the 3d model aspect you have with your shading! i am newish to digital art, I've been doing digital for years but am trying to find out how to colour as I have always struggled with that. I've seen other artists select colour with a fast method that greys the whole drawing selection, but I am still doing things the hard way. your warrior's design with the swooshing long hair looks great!
Man, you are so generous in any ways. you have my respect.
*CAME AS SOON AS THE NOTIFICATION POPPED UP!*
Glad I’m not the only one who came
oml this has helped me so much. i have been struggling to shade and trying to figure out lighting and this video really helped get a better grasp of what the process is.
This was the most helpful YT tutorial for digital drawing I have ever seen. Highly appreciate the good work at explaining!
All your videos are so informative and well done. Thank you.🙏❤️
I've been watching different tutorial videos on UA-cam from different artist. Marc, you're a really good teacher. I'm shocked. Easy to follow, easy to understand, in-depth without making it too overly complicated. You are generous with your knowledge and share it freely. Out of all the artist's I've seen, you truly are the best teacher.
HOW DOES HE ALWAYS RELEASE THE EXACT VIDEO I AM LOOKING FOR AAAAAAAA YOU‘RE SO GREAT!
Super tutorials, very straight forward and helpful. Love it!
Fantastic tutorial! You manage to explain things very clearly on each step. I love that, like you stated, these tips are also general enough that they work on various programs.
I used this method more as I was also learning this from a professional anime illustrator that uses this in the formal name of Grisaille painting.
It turns out that this is a legit form of oil painting that uses the grey as an underpainting then painting color ON TOP.
Since then my digital paintings have this level of realism thats very satisfying to watch.
I've been watching your tutorials since last month [also some of the older vids] and I really learn a lot from it. I have a hard time making contrast between shadows and highlights and I didn't expect overlay and/or multiply would make a huge impact on it! Thank you very much for your tutorials I'm learning a lot of new things!! ♥♥
TYSM for this!! I had been watching speedpaints forever trying to figure out how they made the shading look so good!!
Dude, first tutorial of yours I have seen. Its pretty bomb my dude, the learning of a tutorial video with the fun and awe of a speed art- good stuff
Your shading was AMAZING!! She looked just like she was in 3D ♥️😍 That was amazing thx for that video
Love your approach
Great video and positive way to start the day. Thanks for the solid workflow!
Fantastic video! I've been trying to nail down an efficient workflow like this and your tutorial really helped me to do that. Thank you!
Oh my god, it's been a long time since I had a shift in my workflow really help me out, like, significantly, but adding the lighting directly on the flats has honestly made my drawings improve in a massive leap. I was used to handling lighting and shading kinda similarly from a conceptual standpoint, but the way you split them up (shading through greyscale, lighting through color) makes me feel almost dumb for how I did things previously. Thank you so, so much!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I've recently started painting in Photoshop and have been overwhelmed with finding a good flow. I'm super excited to try this out now. Thank you so much!!
best coloring tutorial EVER! thank you really much
Marc, that was really great. Thank you for making these :)
Holy shit. She looks amazing! That hair is gorgeous!
I love this lesson on a shading layer! I can stop separating every diff coloured part for shading into like 8 different layers bc of it! This whole video makes me feel I can do much better, thank you!
Seeing how you paint the lights and not the shadows is such an eye opening moment. Just makes so much more sense.
duuudde.. thank you so much this is one of the best art tutorials on yt
Damn I really needed this! I'm a university student and I try to draw stuff when I'm not busy cramming for a test or doing assignments (which is unfortunately the case a lot of the time). This workflow looks really helpful, thanks!
Oh shit. I always have such a hard time picking colors, but this tutorial looks awesome. Ps: thank you for having a tutorial about colors too lol
I love how positive you sound. Some art teachers dont really explain good like you.
I've learnt more then Ive ever learnt in any class in this video! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques!

Thank you for the great tutorial! Being more familiar with traditional media, digital painting still doesn't come too easy to me. Will give your techniques a try!
I could literally listen to you talk all day aahhh
thank you sm for your videos!! I just recently started to digitally draw and your videos have helped me out sm!!!
Yay! Free Brushes to start! Thanks Tito Marc!
When I’m telling you I learnt more things through a short video than 3 semesters in my university, I’m not joking.
I love this tutorial! As someone who normally paints loosely for 90% of the painting and polishes towards the end, this workflow is so much more clean and effective! Thank you Marc for breaking down your art process in such an easy-to-follow way - I'm so excited to try this out!
One of the most useful tutorials for every digital artist. It's like a golden formula, amazing stuff man, thank you! learnt so much from it.
So precise and wholesome. Thank you senpai!!
your channel is a gem for people like me who can't afford art school
This inspired me so much
Thank you your tutorials always help me
I just want to be great artist like you !
Great process. Super clear and I learned a few more steps to push colors to the next level!!
On the plus side, this video finally helped me understand how digital artists are able to make their coloring look SO good and give their drawings so much dimension.
On the down side, now that I know the tools behind it, it almost feels more daunting because I know I have to endure all that fine tuning.
Regardless, I'm glad I know now! Thanks for such an informative video!
The shading part is going to change my art game forever
Hhrrhh I feel like your lines are so detailed and well executed and when I look at mine I feel like it's wayy to small a canvas, and that I did it messyy!! You're really good 💞💞💞 Thankyou for the video!!
GENIUS!!! This approach is so EASY! This is actually how i see shading
I appreciate your straight-to-the-point style of teaching. You don't pad your videos with rambling intros or spend any more time explaining a point than you need to. Thank you for following your own 80/20 rule and respecting our time. :)
I LOVE this tutorial. From a light and shadows perspective, it completely makes sense. I was curious, how do you keep your line work so clean and what type of a brush do you use?
This is awesome! Great explanation of your workflow.
I really appreciate that you acknowledge that shading comes more easily to you because of your background working with 3D models, it tempers my expectations of myself in a sense.
Me struggling with lineweight: ....*inhale* TAAAAAAAAH
Clip Studio Paint: Color balance is in tonal correction under Edit, and a good dupe for the brush is the pastel brush with texture removed. Nothing you can do about inner glow that I've found so far, but lmk if anyone has any ideas!
This was great because I have developed a workflow extremely similar to this but this video gave every step an order and a direction for me, exactly what I needed!
Wow! This is a great tutorial! Thank you so much!!
My exact response when I saw the thumbnail: "Yeah! I suck ass at colouring. I want you to inspire me now!"
As someone sometimes even fighting with my chaotic process, this more analytical approach to coloring is a real gem to find.
Thank you for showing this!
It's kinda similiar to the process I already use aswell... except that I don't understand what the heck I am doing. After he explained everything now I kinda understand why each step is done the way it is
I am so impressed! You make it look so easy! I will try this soon. :)
Thankyou sensie for this helpful tutorial 🥺
it would've been nice to know how you actually did the tint & reflections step
His tutorial on "how to paint lights" should help
Also in the top right corner and the 3rd specific tutorials he references
Agreed
tint layer 50% gray initially, light gray as well as brighter colours relative to the flats below that layer. He offers a free download of the PSD file in one of his other "5 steps to colour video" find it in the description, you can study the tints layer in more details there.
@@freakinmorons3282 what’s the benefit of tinting it 50% grey?
@@MrJayson204 50% gray is neutral it adds nothing to the layer beneath it, lighter than that adds glows lower than that darkens it...
Marc greeting us with his seductive voice and bedroom eyes is everything 😩👌🏼❤️
Finally a tutorial that goes over more than flats - shading in multiply with a low saturated color - white lines for light! Most of tutorials focus on the easy stuff, but nothing more than the basic digital coloring. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU. SERIOUSLY! I come from a traditional oil painting background in art and I’ve always painted in one layer or did it all in one go per part. I KNEW i failed to utilize the tools in digital art and layering but this tutorial REALLY WOULD HELP ME SO MUCH. THANK YOU!
This character is so cool tbh, i would definitely play her in a game. Chroma Island the game when?
Great vid
Thanks! It's amazing how similar this is to the way I've always worked (except, I don't do line art, I start with "paint" layer which is what you call flats). Then I put a black layer on top set to saturation to see values & I work on a "luma" layer beneath it where I paint form shading & ambient occlusion. I do this bc it's easier to get the right values when you hide the color. Last, I'll do a few polish layers, like 1 overlay layer for highlights & deeper shadows, & sometimes 1 color layer to add hue variation where I get creative, then finish with filters/ level adjustments/ etc
I really appreciate this video, definitely subscribing! I have watched so many channels saying the same basic stuff. Thank you!
this is a very helpful tutorials for someone like me who's starting to get into digital illustration. i even wrote it on my notebook so i can re-read it whenever i need your pointers. thank you very much!!!
