@Rocco Marley thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Wow so originally I watched this video as part of an assignment two months ago and honestly it has made the world of difference to me. I am such a different person because of what you've said. I was just revisiting some assignments and just re listening to this has inspired me for the second time. Im an art student hoping to be a concept or game artist one day in the future, but two months ago I was hitting such a block in both my art and personal life that I couldn't get passed. Your words just cleared it up in the short span of 20 minutes and I am so glad that I wrote a short essay on it. I can't thank you enough for your inspiration and your impact to me. I honestly don't have words for the effect your video has had on me. I think I'm going to rewatch this small series again now that I have a little time off.

Wow, thanks a lot! And that's great to hear. Also, if you want to share that essay, I'd love to read it. You can email it to marco (at) marcobucci.com - only if you want to though :)

Great video ... well said ... concept art is not an art form, but more a job description created by the industry and you have to be good at a wide variety of art skills to succeed. Thank you for this video, Marco!

This is the best painting video ever, both the advice you are giving and the painting in the background, I have watched this video over 10 times and this is by far my favorite painting I have seen. thanks for all the good advice both in painting and in the industry

Thank you so much. I've been unfocused without even realizing it and I've gotten nowhere (still a student). This video I believe has woken me up and made me realize what I've been doing and what I should be doing.

This was mind-blowing to me, and at the same time very comforting. I'm currently in my final year of Game Art and have so little knowledge of what to do after this. Hearing you talk has honestly settled my nerves a bit and given me more confidence stepping forward and not worrying so much about picking a path and seeing what happens. Thank you so much, this is so helpful! Will definitely be rewatching

Thank you so much for the excellent video Marco! You have just put words to issues I've been struggling with for the past couple of months!

This was amazing! I've never heard anyone else put it this way before. Thank you for taking the time to make this video :)

Breathtaking process on that picture. I love how it shows all that playing in the mud and searching. Very inspiring. And it's so nice to see that it itself is a metaphor for what you are talking about.

Seriously, your process is so interesting. I love to see you start from loads of textures and out of it comes this amazing painting. And thanks a million for the super motivational words. Really nice video.

I've been listening to your talks while working on my Art projects, and wow. I am speechless, you sound like one of my professors ( I know you work as an art teacher ) but it sounds so real and personal. The portfolio part is 100% right ! and i've been hearing the ( so what you wanna do ) a lot !

I'm honestly in the same position as you were when you were younger and wanting to be an animator for major motion picture groups like Pixar but haven't exactly had as many art lessons or anything. However I have spent the majority of my life drawing, but it's nowhere near to where most people are at when they take art classes at my age but now I'm majoring in animation in college. And listening to you talk about your path and how much you've grown and how much your path has changed as well is very inspiring and it eases my anxiety a bit on if I'll be good enough to become a professional artist, whatever type of concentration that may be in the future. Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful!

ahhh anyone else w adhd find the word “focus” when said like it’s the easy ass solution to every situation so annoying? the only thing i’ve found that actually helps is medication and accepting that it’s not rlly my fault that certain things are more difficult for me. although with art i have sm motivation and it’s p easy for me to just hyperfocus lmfao when i get rlly into the idea. but medication helps me start it and i actually finish illustrations now

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your rough-and-tumble process is amazing to watch unfold. Again, thanks for sharing!

Thank you. This video is great, especially since I am older, disabled, and not sure what career options might be open to me. It never dawned on me about focusing the portfolio for what you enjoy instead of trying to show that you can do it all. I've followed you on both KZread and SVS. When I saw your digital painting series, I really opened my eyes to how much fun exploring color and the abstract can be. I love the loose feel of your paintings and how this increases the sense of mystery in the image.

Good advice Marco. Focus! And thinking holistically about what it is you are doing and wanting to achieve.

I just found your channel the other day and I already really enjoy listening to you. I'm an artist and Illustrator myself, but haven't really found traction in the professional field yet. Your words are inspiring and very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

I was gonna comment I wish I had seen this channel earlier but it seems it came at the perfect moment. Beginning to push myself and work every day at my goals and have a clear mindset, and heres a great deal of motivation and real information. Glad I stretched my limbs in every direction so now I have an idea of things to keep me grounded

I recently finished undergrad and this was exactly the kind of talk I needed to hear. Thank you! Love your work

this channel is pure gold. Really, important tips, "secrets" and concepts all in short videos and damn well explained. LOVE IT!

This feels like the real guidance ive been looking for. Ive been digging around KZread for advice on art careers and id love to be a concept artist. This is so wepl thought out and advice that makes actual logical sense. Thank you si much, this has definitely helped me on my journey forward.

This is a wonderful video. As someone who is about to be heading off to college for this, a lot of these ideas are weighing on my mind. It is a great reminder to always enjoy and explore within my focus. I cannot thank you enough for the information that you put out. Painting isn't even my forte, yet your advice applys to all that I do. Thank you.

Great comments! I never even considered being a professional artist, I just do it for the joy of it. But your comments apply to many things - like planning your day, planning your week and indeed planning your life. Gorgeous painting. Thanks for putting it out there.

I am so glad I found your channel. Your videos are so... eye-opening, not to mention the absolutely gorgeous art! Thank you for being so insightful, your videos are just what I needed!

yeah I 100% agree with the marriage of the warm and cools at the end. felt very cold when you finished and I almost always make my light warm. Just makes things feel more cozy.

Haha, now I know I'm not the only one who threw everything into my portfolio and hoped for the best. Thanks, man. Your videos have been very helpful to me.

Man, Thank you for your wisdom, and your down to earth vibes. I am really enjoying following you.

I always return to this video, it has helped me a lot in my career and I love this painting too

this video hit me like a brick wall, as you once were I decided that I wanted to get in to animation and have recently been looking at all these programs. I have some photoshop knowledge from high school and self experimenting but you've opened my eyes

Your channel is one of the greatest art channels I've ever discovered.

Wow yet another parallel with my part time job as an engineer. I too scolded at colleges that they didn't teach their students the ideas, the basics the process of thinking and questioning but learning them tools. And without any proper basic knowledge expecting their students to know how to use the tools. That was very different when I was in college in the early 90s. You were taught the basics, the principles, you would learn how to think and analyse and then introduced to some tools but always with the knowledge that tools change, the basic (especially in electronics and programming) remain the same unless we move to bio-electronics -- which in all fairness requires a biology degree. I am a self taught digital mattepainter, sure I took a few courses to obtain some "trade secrets" but I already knew a lot before getting to these courses. In one of the courses we had to work with Modo 3D and most students (funnily enough all 20 somethings) were freaking out because it wasn't Maya and how they couldn't be using Maya because it's the industry standard. I was thinking: "Who cares, we just need to model basic geometry to project our image on, I'd use free Blender for that because it's free and it can do the job!" The teacher there actually took the time to explain that Maya, Modo or whatever 3D package is just a tool. That a good compositor and especially technical director will look for the best tools available for the problem at hand. Schools these days are far too bogged down in teaching trivialities, facts and tools instead of teaching their students to think, explore and in all fairness to fail!

I needed to hear this. Thanks for the advice! Looking forward to more of these videos as well as 10 minutes to a better painter. ABE: always be exploring

nice! And I'm looking forward to putting together the 4th episode of that series as well.

Really thoughtful video man. I'd say I am more a videographer (got into youtube about five years ago) but I was recently bitten by the desire to expand what I can do into drawing and graphic design. I couldn't agree more with the idea of getting mostly involved with the process of learning more than anything else. I have definitely found the opportunities I am getting now were never an end goal I had at the beginning of learning to film and edit. Haven't even checked your channel your for drawing tutorials, which is what I am primarily after, but I subscribed because I really appreciate your mindset. Looking forward to learning as much I can from ya. I am super late to the game being a 34 year old trying to learn to draw and paint, but am a firm believer that there is no such thing as talent: only those with the drive to improve themselves in the crafts that they enjoy. All the best to you.

This draw is such a perfect presentation of what you are saying You said it yourself but i just kept noticing even the little slight shifts of the head position and such, that by itself was eye opening for me

Epic chat that's transferable to other aspects of life, esp. focus. Subbed.

amazing painting + very good advice thank you marco !! your book creativity and the campfire is something i listen too frequently

I am so grateful for this video you made for us! I mean, I am in the same situation as you were (specially when an Art director or a recruiter asks "what do you wanna do?!"). This helped me a lot to FOCUS. Thanks!

Hi marco, Thanks so much for all your good videos. I love watching your painting processes. You start with a hot mess (that's not so much of a hot mess in reality), and you end up with a beautiful picture. That's very encouraging to watch. Personaly, i always have an issue with beginning my illustrations. I often stop 10 minutes into it, because i think it's all crap. Watching you is what helps me the most with it, now i understand that it needs time, and i feel like i finally understand how the underpainting must be done, how i'ts important to establish the pillars of the composition, the main colors and the mood. I've also felt very relieved when i heard that you only got into drawing (for real) at 19. You're still young, but you've got such a good level now. I'm very young and still a student, so i feel like i actually DO have enough time to get a decent level by the time i get into the industry haha ! Anyway, I just wanted to adress you my biggest thanks for all those amazing videos you do. All your tips are so well worded and precious. Your videos on composition litteraly shifted the way i see illustration now. You've helped me a lot and you still do, so again, thank you thank you thank you !!

When i took figure drawing i learned that theres almost allways a point where a drawing will look terribly messy, the proportions are shaky the lines seem a bit off guidelines are everywhere, but you just have to keep going. Most of the time you can fix those mistakes, even in traditional mediums, you just have to make the things that shouldnt be there dissapear, either by painting over or making it blend in to the area around it(matching its value and color or making it seem like just another part in a pattern). And when i really think its crap and just dont want to touch it any more, make a new layer and just go crazy, try all those things you were probably pushing to the back of your mind avoiding, say fuck it, its not like it can get any worse than quitting.

Thanks! Painting in this method invites a certain chaos. But with experience, you learn to control it. I couldn't do this when I first started, and I do recommend learning methods where you have more control right from the outset. But as you gain knowledge and sound fundamentals, you'll find that you can work in a wide variety of methods.

Am so amazed. I got paralyzed by this painting! You are my new favorite!

I really want to get better at painting

You’re a gem Marco!

The color burn is cool as heck! Didnt know how to really use that layer. Of course the painting and talk was great as well. Thanks as always.

HI, this is your second video that I watched now. and I think I want to see them all now. You taught me a few things to think about it a bit deeper who I want to be as an artist. Thank you for your inspiring words.

This was great! I am a big fan of your videos! I’m always learning something!

Your videos are not only educational about both art skills and the art world, but also give a lot of hope to a generation that puts the pressure on themselves very (too) high. When you said your first life drawing class was at the age of 19 my heart made a jump of joy. We often get presented the idea that if you are not a master at age 18 you won't go anywhere in the art industry. This is of course a distorted image we get from watching child prodigies on facebook and the truth is that as long as you are determined, work hard and make a good progress, the chance of getting close to your dreamjob is there. Thankyou for all the videos. It's a great help.

this is enlightening!!! Thanksss marcoo ❤️

What an awesome video. I'm so glad I found your channel. i'm sure this channel will explode with subs this year. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for this video! I find it very useful, especially with focus part and portfolio. I would usually go and just put my "best" works into it. I liked the way the painting turned out at the end. Your painting process is really incredible :D

Epic painting process very deep layered colors and tones very rich!

You are saying what need to be said exactly, I’m really happy for you and thank you so much

Incredible advice... Applicable to so much more than just the art industry. I'm a musician by trade (and have been so for many a years), and there are a ton of parallels to the music industry. I would say that this is excellent LIFE advice, regardless of desired occupation or intended industry... PS: I'm currently rediscovering my youthful passion for visual art (one line at a time), and am stunned by the splendor of your work!! Thank you for sharing your insights as well as your art.

A pleasure to watch and listen to as always.

I'm training up for UI/UX design with no ambition to paint anything outside maybe some hobby scribbles when I have more time than I know what to do with. Still I find a lot of concepts and theory you preach very applicable. You can easily brand yourself for designers as well as painters. Thanks dude.

Thank you for the video. It helped me put to rest some insecurity. On topic of unexpected direction, currently employed to learn & teach 3D printers & Laser Cutters. A focused portfolio is a good suggestion & I'll need to think carefully what creative work matters the most to me.

Mario, thanks for this very honest talk.

All of my BEST art has come from a program called Paint tool Sai2. Its MADE for comics and mangas, but I use it for designing and realistic painting. However, I really needed to hear/see this video. thank you

Thank you very much, Marco!

Challenging! Yes, things move and change so fast. Last year I made a mistake by buying an old photoshop book. It was a 2005 series or photoshop 5 if I remember correctly but hell photoshop now is different. No idea how to se them so I can't download any. I just want ot learn at least the basics even befor I learned what concept artistry is. The worls is moving really fast. When we want to learn we have to learn it quick and be smated and wiser. Along the way we learn, been there, done that but Focus is there and the Will Power. I learned a lot from you! Thank you!

THANK YOU for the video and for introducing me to JC Leyendecker! AMAZING work!

Once again you've created a video where you talked about things that I wish I would have known years ago starting out. My art inspirations were mainly from video games and anime (still is) and I tried to improve by trying to draw like them. I had to find out the hard way that the only reason they draw well is because they studied to principles and actual anatomy to get where they were. I'm gonna share this!

That was some insightful and relatable advise you just gave me! Many times, while listening to your points, I couldn't help but to relate to most of them 😆 now I'm aware of how delusional I was. It also helped me emphasize something I already suspected: that a sort of media-presence doesn't hurt your employability, and that one should be very focused and concise on what you offer

Just replicating most of the comments on how great this video is. The words and the painting. Thanks.
