I can finally become one of those fancy instagram artists
How did it go
Can ı be
I became one
ah yes, my dream
(He did not)
This almost feels like cheating 😂 Imagine getting professional level tutorial absolutely for free lmaooooo WE LOVE YOU MARC!
actually, all information about art is free.
people only pay for information so they don't have to put the effort in looking themselves.
you can join thousands of communities of artists helping eachother.
there are millions of resources available through the internet for free.
it's endless.
@Self Actualizer you're one of those "well actually" guys aren't you? The gesture of gratitude still stands as marc is a fantastic resource. That's like saying "why be grateful to this cow you're eating for dinner now? Don't you know there are infinite cows you could be eating right now?"
I mean i have leaks of his whole art course if you want , i mean my cousin has some links i guess wink wink*
this guy is a great teacher, if only i knew about him when i started digital art
I wish he was a close relative :'
@@anonymouxx9261 same
Looking back at this again, a year later, i notice two things: 1, i’ve improved enough for this not to sound scary anymore, just exciting, and 2: Marc’s videos and ways of explaining have become so much smoother and easier to follow 😁
About #1, that sounds pretty similar to me with Blender.
I wasn't necessarily scared but it definitely felt intimidating trying to learn the UI and just learning how to do things in a 3D program.
After following some tutorials (specifically to make neat stuff I wanted to do; e.g. oceans, items, etc), I slowly got used to the UI and I feel a lot more comfortable with it now.
2 years later and agreed. The older videos are very relevent and still great, Marc has made the production smoother but I started his course a couple of months ago and ended up here because I'm having issues with lighting and this video is a fantastic help.
"Imagine the light is the camera and you're behind the lens. Everything that you would see will receive light."
I never thought about it this way. It's a really good perspective! Thank you again for another top tier tutorial!
I was so frustrated in digital art because I treated it like traditional (with all limitations) but now thanks to a professional digital artist like you I can feel pretty confident by using all the available tools in digital arts, Thanks Marc!
The "pretend you're the light source like a camera" part really helped me, probably the best tio I've ever heard on this subject.
Even better would be to get a quality artist mannequin and shine a light source on it.
The inner glow really gives the light a professional blending look. Can't wait to use this technique on multiple lighting layers... Hopefully with my new tablet
I Swear This Guy Legit Has some mind reading powers or something. literally my day one of light and color practice.
Same :,v
Same here xD Just went into 'light struggle' on my current project xD
AHHH RIIIIGHT
I'VE BEEN SAYING I NEED TO PRACTICE LIGHTING BUT HAVE NO IDEA HOWWWW
BLESSSS THIS MANNN
SAMEEEE AHAHAHAHA
Imagine if he did the outro when explaining the giveaway
Marc: To participate you have to do 3 simple things, first make sure you subscribe and lik... *plays outro*
I thought about it lmao
I've been drawing for 30 years and I'm still learning tons from this channel. Absolutely love your content. I told my dog all about it but she didnt seem that impressed.
that's the beauty of art. You always learn!
Draw light, not shadows is something I didn't know how badly I needed to hear. Very excited to start practicing this
It's so nice to have a whole community of artists everywhere and when you need inspiration you just watch a video or two and boom, you're loaded)))
So True :)
yeah.. it actually makes me try harder cuz artist before didn't have these privileges
О, нашла русского в комментах xD
I love how he simplified the whole process, from how the mass light, to the terminator, to the shadow, reflective light, all in one go, and instead of thinking of shading why not just think of it as modeling the form. Marc thanks for being able to explain hard mechanics to a simpler version of it self.
I've honestly learned so much from his tutorials! Just straightforward, to the point and the logic behind it. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!
Your art tutorials are probably the best I've seen. I've been binge watching them and I feel like I've learned so much more than from any other tutorial, you tackle these problems from a very unique perspective
The innerglow thing you did just blew my mind lol, definitely trying that
The easy light set-up made my drawing day. I’ve been following the channel since its Bluefley days, and still every new tutorial brings some undiscovered, handy trick. Thank you for the great stuff!
This is insane! Love your channel, man! You make everything so simple and easy to understand.
Thank you for this! Lighting has always been a challenge for me and I've always hesitated on adding it, but now you've convinced me that lights make drawings a lot cooler :D
The way to use layer effects like inner glow blew my mind :D never thought of that!
You've hit the point on what I've needed right know xD Since I'm new at digital painting I 'm really in struggles with lights and how to work them out efficient on Photoshop xD
Thanks for that video :)
Thank you for making these videos. They really helped put a different perspective on doing lighting and shading than I had previously. Hope to use your techniques in my drawings a lot moving forward!
Thank you so much for making these painting tutorials! I normally work with pen and pencil so I had no idea where to start with painting. Your videos provided the perfect starting point for me!
Why does this look so much easier than it actually is T.T
edit: oh heck i did not expect this many likes
ikr? T_T
Because we need to practice 🙂...a lot!
My advice? Learn from life! Play with lights irl, with shapes in 3D software, in different weather, with multiple lights, turn the world into your toybox and see the subtle themes that play out when light shines on faces and forms. If you try it even just once or twice, you’ll learn more than you could ever figure out on your own in weeks, months, maybe years
no need to feel bad about it. Of course it looks easy because a professional artist is doing it, we are just here to learn as beginners. (or at least most o us maybe?).
Because he’s used to doing lighting. It’s easy for him but a little harder for others. It’ll get easier with time
This video is fantastic! A great insight on a professional artist's methods on creating lighting.
This is sooo good. It finally feels like someone is adressing the things you struggle with as a beginner with simple and clear concepts you can actually understand and continue to build on.
Thank you so much for all your tutorials on coloring I really struggle when it comes to color but I've been getting a lot better thanks to you!
There is one style I really want to learn to do well, and its the style of the main artist of the Etrian Odyssey series. Rather than having a lot of light sources, the artist just using a lot of black in places that you don't really expect, but it works pretty well. Listening to this tutorial helped me think of a better way to attack the style, so thanks for that!
Recently having trouble distinguishing shading and lighting and i would tend to make 2 layers one for shadows and another for lighting which usually ends up being a muddy mess
But seeing this it helped me understand a little better that lights make the shadows and that shadows build shape :D
Thank you for all your lessons. I hope I can enjoy your content for a long time !
I've recently been trying to get back into drawing again after taking a long break where I just couldn't bring myself to draw much of anything, but you've really motivated me to pick it up again and try to improve. Loving all these tutorials! You make it look so easy and explain what to do step by step it's great c:
UA-cam recommendations: "You shade too much. Make your life easier." Hopefully practicing this will get me out of the little art block I'm stuck dealing with!
Your videos are always so thorough and informative. They've helped me improve a lot recently, and for some reason compared to other tutorials I tend to remember your tips more when I'm actually drawing. Thanks for another great video!
Same ;)
Right! I can read or listen to someone explain something a thousand times, but until I actually apply it, I won't remember it at all.
Man i already knew that thinking simple is a key part of drawing better but i never thought about doing it with lighting. This helped a lot, thank you so much!
This video really taught me a cool way to conceptualize light! Thanks for adding the exercises at the end~ will definitely practice more using this technique 💖
I'm french and when you started your video I was like ''what the f*ck is that? XD''
great baguette accent btw
J'ai eu la même réaction mdr XD
@@saki5059 J'ai genre fais : wtf un québécois sauvage
@@captaintiefling9618 aaaaaaaaaaaah capturez le!
Marc c'est le best sérieux
Saving all of this for when i buy a drawing tablet, traditional is working just fine though
Idk, i kept with traditional (mostly because i wouldnt do much digital when i started art school), and now trying to draw digital is the most painfull thing ever... its just completly different from drawing on paper, imo (especially compaired to graphite/charcoal)
@@TheRedflamesKnight Yes, but the great thing about it is that you can never run out of supplies, and nothing feels set in stone. Editing is so, so, so easy. For someone like me who goes braindead when they see a blank sheet of paper, being able to somehow turn a mess of a sketch into something decent with the powers of digital editing is a lifesaver. But I do admit actually drawing on a tablet doesn't feel as good as drawing on paper. That's why many artists draw traditionally, then scan their work and color digitally.
@@TheRedflamesKnight you definitely get use to it. The first couple of hours of usage is definitely torture tho. Give it a couple of days/ 2 or so week of going at it and your eye and hand gets use to it. Digital really helps speed up the process and you don't have to look for your tools every time you need something.
Your tutorials and tips are concise so it doesn’t leave time for me to overthink or get confused and it’s incredibly helpful thanks so much!
Wow just changing the type of layer made such a big difference! I was always afraid of touching the other layer types but after seeing what they can do, I will definitely experiment with them a lot more!
Me trying this after the video
"I dont feel so good mr Marc"
For some reason the hardest part for me is choosing the right base color, maybe I'm just overthinking it but choosing the right skin tone base-color depending on the setting is a bit difficult lol
This is such an great tutorial! The steps are easy to follow and the way you explain everything is easy to understand. Great tutorial, I hope to see more from you!
way to go Marc!!!!! I appriciate it. i just got your Hair Brush and started using it today..
5:00 when you take off your pants after going to the beach
Marc: *Snaps finger*
Me: I dont feel so good
I've been struggling with light sources on my drawings and this video has make it easier for me to understand them, thank you Marc :")
Very cool! Cant wait to try some of these tips out!
The Character looks like sagat, and with those amazing lights it really looks like Kinu nishimura's Street Fighter art. PS: I want to win so bad.
I think look like seth
Wait, did you just speak French for the intro, that's cool, as a French person I wasn't ready 😂
Ahahhaha moi aussi mdr
Ah yes des français
He said the intro in French and some other word like the "ahh oui" I wasn't ready at all XD and glad to see other French people
Moi non plusXD
and what did he said? Cause I was confused and I wanna know :P Like I realized that might be in French, because he knows it, but still... it was just out of the blue xD
Glad I found this channel. The 3D influence on his advice makes it much more intuitive to me than most channels. I'm doing my best with traditional materials and a limited budget, but even so, I've found this channel incredibly helpful for strengthening my fundamentals and weaving them together..
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Marc!
Nobody:
Marc: *says*
- 00:02 : hey? Comment ça va ?
French people:
-OMG he can also speak french!
Thought you were kidding 'til I scrolled down.
He's from Canada that's why.
Québec, Canada ✌🏼
Yeah he’s probably from Quebec because he has a subtle French accent
I was like "Mais... Je me sens trahi maintenant !" xD
'Seems easy enough'
Remembers broken laptop
*Sobs in not being able to draw*
Did your laptop get fixed
@@4foureyes706 unfortunately my laptop is now in the grave and I'll hopefully get a new one later on this year
Thank you for all the information and knowledge you decide to share with us!
Very excited to try this out with my own art!
"Stay creative and I'll see ya-" *audio cuts off*
See ya... tomorrow? Next week? Year? *_Tell me!_*
Light is really difficult to draw even though we see light everyday XD
Never saw lighting broken down so simply and intuitively. Cant wait to practice and implement this myself!
This is pure awesome. Very clear explanation about lighting. And imagining the light as a camera is such a big help. THANKYOU FOR THIS! I am one step closer to being a pro like you 👨🎨
I just need to keep on practicing, thank you marc
I still can't get over the fact that marc gave my joke a 2/10 ;((
"Now this is *lit*.Get it?"
I've got a question, when doing different lighting like that, should the line weight be uniform or should it be calculated immediately in the lineart stage?
I'm clearly not qualified to answer but I still will.
If your predefine the lineart that early on then you will be limiting yourself to that previously determined lighting setup
Whereas if u keep the lighting uniform and only add weight in the converging areas then you'll have more freedom with lighting and you can add another layer of lineart over the real one after you are done with lighting.
@@theblackvenom1840 That helps a lot. Thanks!
different workflows work for different people, but I personally vary the line weight before the lighting...
typically if the line weight variation is subtle, you don't have to worry about it ruining the lighting.
however for cases where there's lot of line weight variety, you can always go back and adjust the lineart anyways provided you kept it a separate layer. another option would be to paint parts of the lineart as if it's being affected by the light as well, that way they don't clash with the lighting.
you sir, are my saving grace! following your tips (especially your video a while back on shading and gradient maps) and adapting them to my own workflow and style has seriously cut down my production time and I am able to pump out more work at better quality and at faster rates (ex. I did a full concept sheet for an asset for a game and it only took me 3 days compared to 2 weeks like it usually would have), i just want to say thank you!
I've been struggling to understand the lighting for months. It's a lot clearer than other videos I've watched. I'm gonna start practicing now! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
“Comment ca va”
Ah oui, I also speak baguette so I know what’s up
Super useful tutorial! I definitely nee to try that inner glow tip. Thanks!!!
Great exercises, can't wait to try them out. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! It's very informative and I like your layer option+effect!
literally just what i needed right now! I’ve made it my mission to make more deliberate lighting choices, i posted my first (not very good !) go at it yesterday on ig and having people point it out as making a difference really drove home that it’s something I want to work on. But it’s always been so confusing / unapproachable to me as an area to work on, and this video has SO many good analogies that help clarify some things. thank u sm 🥺🥺
Thank You this help me improve my art
I 'll always wait for content like this 😊😊
Thank you for this video, it came at the perfect time! I'm always so fascinated of pictures that play with lights in night scenes like fireworks or festivals. There's something really mesmerizing about it and I want to be able to do it myself. This explanation helped a great deal understanding what to do. Thank you so much!
Dude, seriously, I love you. You are the best art teacher in the world. This is the most understandable and simple explanation of how to build lighting. Thank you so much for this!
Thanks Marc for tutorial videos! I finally get how to color and make cool lights
I keep coming back to this tutorial it's gold 😫😩
Thank you 🙏
As always amazing quick tutorial! Thanks so much! look forward to the next one! :D
I have been watching so many people from the industry consumed so many media about lighting and color but BY FAR you are the best teacher i have watched. You just make it so easy to understand and your encouragements make me happy! Thank you!
Damn that's impressive. Understanding forms is crucial. To imagine light hitting the form you have down is next level brilliance. Thank you for your knowledge!
FINALLY!!! A light guide that is easy, makes sense and PRACTICAL! Thank you so much Marc
I always have problems with lighting and making it look realistic. I've kept in mind core shadows, bounce lights, and just recently, subsurface scattering, but this video really opened my eyes even more. Thank you for this!
thank you so much Marc, your tutorials are always the best!
Thanks for all the videos, I’ll need to take your cubebrush art school course
"you are the light", such a different approach to this! these videos ate a huge help, thank you!
Thanks! I will try to use this tips for now on
You're one of them few artists here on Yt i have come across, who use a very clean way to explain and show the methods straight away. As well as it being a good (example) for 'us' to look back for later as artistic refreshments. Same goes for the the methods being explained in the steps to follow, where we can practice till our own comfort sones let us step up a level, when ready. Thank you for helping out!
Great vid! You really helped make something so complex seem so easy! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the different levels of exercises! I had no idea how to work on my lighting and now I know exactly what to do.
this is pretty amazing, the lights can change a lot of a piece :D gonna try it
I refer to ur videos so much while I’m drawing for tips so thank you so much!
thank u for this! i was searching up these kinds of tutorials. Cheers!
I like how practical this advice is!
Wow this is super helpful gives me good guidelines to practice, thank you so much!!!
I just started learning digital drawing and your video are really helpful!
very helpful, lighting is something i struggle with and this video helped me understand it more
Yo your videos are honestly so helpful, I learn so much from them. Ty!
amazing video! really explained lighting well and love the technique of layering each source
excellent tutorial Marc - using hard light really does make a lot of difference. Will be making sure I do that from now on!
Thank you for doing these awesome tutorials Marc, you've helped me a lot and have given me perspective on how to approach my work :)
I love working with lighting but it’s hard!!! This is such a good tutorial! Thank you!
love your videos! I only found your channel today but you've already been really helpful!
