0:00 Here’s how to draw/paint FASTER if you’re slow
1:45 Use a recipe
2:56 Focus your efforts
5:46 Know your tools
6:38 Never guess
7:20 Act confident
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 💥💥
20 hrs on one basic piece is rediculous. I needed this lol
Came here to make this exact comment! ✌️😁
Get it, boss! 💪
6-8h on a game sprite. i need at least 6 of those
Weeks for me. Takes much less time traditional a few hours.
Sacha Diener, aka thefirstangel, is a pro artist that spends a year on pieces. He worked in the industry and has pieces published, too, so, whenever I do 20 hours of painting, I think this is relatively ok compared to him.
i take a ungodly amount i aint even gonna say it so i definitely needed this
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.
I took up pen and paper for this reason. I'm loving it.
Nothing wrong with erasing mistakes. As long as you can fix them
The worst but about going back to paper and pen is when you keep tapping on the pad to try and undo a mistake…
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.
@@M1rfortune overfixing is bad
speed is literally my biggest problem , many times i work very zoomed in and i realise i was polishing for 1 hour a detail that when you zoom out is barely noticable. very useful tips
Same, though I still love my detailed pencil pieces the most 😄
Same here!! I looove details but omg I have a bad habit of lazer focusing on miniscule detauls tgen feeling all my time was wasted when I zoom out
@@ww3196 literally me but is so difficult to focus on the big picture😂
He drew a background and then changed his mind! My confidence is boosted.
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.
Marc is my favorite teacher, those videos helped me so much. I can´t thank him enough helping me enjoying art again.
make him fused with proko
BRO I WAS JUST SEARCHING THAT-
Bro he just knew-
Isn't it a bit strange how SENPAI does that, posts on a topic U just happen to looking for or trying to study..!?
[guess we're all a bit "telepathetic" 😂]
You need to check inside your wall now lmao
I was just thinking of searching that. 😅
He knows 👀
I am an artist and I DO tend to look at how much effort and detail an artist put into their art lol I tend to like/appreciate pieces with lots of clear details more than those that look rushed.
i can get out fully rendered comms in around 4-5 hours, sometimes longer depending on complexity - it definitely helps to learn how to make your art faster. time is money!
Holy sylphie thumbnail! Based!!
I though the same thing 😭
The exact reason why I clicked on this vid 💀
4:24
Marc: “See if you zoom in you can tell I left the background and lower body pretty rough-“
Me: “T-This is rough?”
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.
Agreed on sticking the same recipe and tools u used for a period of time it definitely helps to make your art better
Phew, back on track. I've been wandering what to do, good thing I have art school. ty mark.
Also the "ah!" at the beginning was way too relatable. I have thrown my pen in that exact way, three consecutive times one day, and that's not even a joke .
beautiful work, thank you for all the tips and encouragement. I especially love the videos where you start a drawing from scratch and we can follow along. your brushes and some from DG are the only ones i use now.
A great collection of tips here SENPAI, as usual, but they're all very practical for advancement when in use, so THANX!!! 🙇
Your colours and palette choices have improved immensely.
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
He does have some videos that delve into using references. One of them was a video on character creation
i think getting advice from someone like him isn't that good because he draws a lot from imagination. he mentions it in a lot of his vids about visualization and how he draws from imagination which doesn't apply to us aphants.
I hope there are art channels that are actually geared towards aphants.
I've been searching for the music in the background for three years, not only was this video super helpful for tips but it was also super helpful for me trying to find that song.
this speedpaint was so satisfying to watch!!! and thank you for the good tips as always!
I really loved the only refine the focal point part, because it's true!, the other day I was watching some amazing art, wondering how do they make such amazing renders, but the closer I looked the rougher the shading and lineart actually was
I was just thinking about this topic haha, and here is sensei to the rescue!! love you sensei 💜
Thanks, Marc! I recently purchased your Art School program a couple weeks ago, but am having trouble building it into my daily life and make it a habit (on top of the fear of starting/blank page/being bad etc. Typical newbie stuff). Every time I watch one of your videos, it rekindles my desire to stick with it. Thanks for everything you do!
That’s awesome to hear :D Thanks so much for joining! Officially welcome to ARt School ❤️
I needed this. thank you so much!! The focus on your effort part was such a wake-up call. I always over-fixate on details that don't show that much on the final result. the many layers were always a problem for me. I keep on creating backups of certain layers in fear of making a mistake and I might need to go back and redo it. This is a great video every tip and and suggestion made me realize what I've been doing that made me stop finishing an artwork because I get so overwhelmed that I never go back to finish it. Definitely gonna apply and create some changes to my process (which I never have because I usually wing it gonna work on that too LOL).
Thank you Marc amazing lessons and advice as always ❤
I needed to hear this. Thank you so much!
The timing of this video is perfect! I have an art project for a class that’s due tomorrow and I need to learn how to render it FAST 🏃🏾♀️💨💨💨💨
You are truly incredible, I love your art and classes, I think you are the teacher I am most inspired by watching. I really love this style of painting in this video and Zelda's painting, It would be amazing to see more videos with this style, it's very beautiful.
Amazing video and tips, like always~
Thank you!
Ive always thought i was good at drawing - and i think im okay - but drawing on screen less tablet really humbled me and made realize how bad my sketching technique is. I’ve really tried to slowdown and draw single confident lines now and I do feel like im improving. Great vid as always Marc!
Getting used to the tablet took me a good 2 months it’s def weird at first, but eventually it becomes second nature;)
Thank you Marc!
Coloring has improved my hand and eye coordination.
I'm so slowpoke it takes me weeks to finish my drawings 🫠
We aren't slo we lazy 💀
I've been stuck for a while, thank you, this video came in handy. Greetings from Uruguay bro!
AGAIN MARC!!! Dang!
I been grinding with trying to find a technique (Recipe) that works for me and got frustrated becase I mastered many but all took too long. Now, I decided on one way I developed for myself two years ago and I AM STICKING WITH IT TILL IT LOOKS GOOD!!!! And here you are again VERIFYING ME! I made this decision yesterday. THANK YOU AGAIN MARC!!! Please keep up with great work.
Great advice as always!
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 for everything ❤
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.
I needed this
always an inspiration ❤❤❤
Great advice and great art love Sylphie :)
GUY DROPPED JUST WHAT I NEEDED LIKE AN ANGEL OF ART
Thanks. Reay needed to see this!
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!
Marc gotta be the best art teacher I've ever had
Everytime I think “I wish Marc would have a video of this topic” you come out with a video of the topic. THANK YOU! As an anime artist thank you so much speed is my biggest downfall so I’m excited to be able to improve with this video. Thank you so much ❤
Thanks Marc
YES!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Great and helpful advice, thank you!
Thank you ❤
It's comforting seeing in the comments just how many other people struggle with this
Thanks for the vid, these are really helpful tips!
Incredibly late but this is such a crucial video for me!! Thanks for teach :)
Thank you. Marc ! 👍🏻😁
After a long time, this is just what I needed
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!
trying to follow bob ross in real time with nothing but the few brushes from marc's kit and the defaults led me to find a basic style to start painting with, still trying to iron out the details and refine and learn and all that but i'm getting there when it comes to using color in my drawings.
My comment is that you've inspired me to work consistently for a year now. If that's what you intended, keep going ;) For everyone out there. Art School is worth it.
Love your videos MB! Yay mushoku tenshi, and sylphie ! Can you do Eris too?
Thanks, Mark!
Great tips!
Can you please make a video on how to finish a work and make it more appealing by adding light affects flares or shiny
I saw this and instantly clicked. Thank you for the advice!!
Anatomy and light theory also is must learn too, i got slow down a lot when it comes to grayscaling because of lack of anatomy knowledge and color compatibility too
bro is living in my head, i didnt even search abt this topic i was just thinking about it
man i keep on trying to get better with digital art and this video really made me ask “why?”. cause ive always been more comfortable with traditional art.
I've been scared to search up tips that remind me of college due to my old art college failing me despite showing signs of improvement, so this is very refreshing and reassuring that improvement is possible.
marc still saving our lifes 🙏🙏
Literally just had this thought. Punched in the gut with knowledge, i appreciate the lesson.
Also, is it possible to get krita brushes?
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 ?
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!
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...
That scream at the beggining of the video tho 🤣
Always loved those intro of yours
My biggest problem in drawing fr
Besides motivation
Thank you!
The MB Cubebrush (legendary) is really an amazing brush to use. Been using it for the past year and it's tough to move away from it.
I’m impressed you change your art style tbh
Usually I spend on average 5-10 minutes looking at the art I like
You’re def an outlier! Great if you take all that time to really observe tho 💪
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.
Marc I love you
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!
Oh another video from our teacherrr!!
Same again make a video on how to make splash art like riot games I'm waiting for that class love u mark ur great❤❤❤
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
I need the opposite of this, I need to be able to gain the patience to draw more then a few hours. If I can't draw a full piece in 2 hours I scrap it cause I speed draw literally everything!
Thank you
Your intros are so funny 😂
Can we get an updated hair tutorial please? 🥺😙
Sylphy best grill no cap
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.
The best art prof doesnt exis.... omg
Thank you.
😂Marc must be reading my mind at this point...was literally thinking about this yesterday.
Great video, thanks:)
damn ı been waıtıng for this video for quite a long time, im a student who is now prepearing for art collage exam and the exam requires me to draw something finished in less than an hour and a half and ı been struggling to finish my study pieces... ty so much, i will keep you updated if the tips help!!
Best intro it made me giggle
for future ref 1only have a few brushes
2 only add details to the focal point like the face
3 think ahead of wht youll do
4 find a reference dont guess wht to do
5 work confidently
Hi Marc! Out of curiosity, is it ok to take time (assuming you have it) to render and add all the details simply out of pure enjoyment for the artist? Or would that slow down progress anyway?
Happy belated birthday 🎂 and just wanted to let you know I’ll be going to Montreal in May. It makes me happy and excited to know I’ll be in the city where my favorite artist and teacher was born and lived in! I can’t wait! Lol
See you next class!!
Nice! Hope you have a good time:D And if it’s for fun really do whatever you want- fun should always come first! You could probably improve a bit faster by creating more pieces in less time than 1-2 with more time, but if that’s not ad fun don’t do it ;)
At this point I think Marc has a cam somewhere watching me struggle, cuz this really came at the right moment lmao
First time in my life I've taken active steps to actually improve art, before now I used to use drawing tablets I couldn't enjoy, I forced myself to use SAI even though I hated the lack of some features when it came to rendering and I didn't use any references before now, I always felt like using references felt too easy as the shapes felt extremely easy for me to copy and that wouldn't result as a unique piece for myself.
But if I want to draw properly without references I thought maybe I should tip my toes back in the basics.
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.
