THANKYOU!! you have inspired me to do one of my own... but of Rihanna.

Ah this is the kind of thing that was really lacking when I was beginning, not knowing where to start, or what to start from. This kind of handholding approach you see more often in actually paid classes with a huge time alloted to it, and people starting out don't even know that it exists most of the time. A lot of channels talk about fundamentals on a high level, but don't dig in what it means to do them on a moment-to-moment basis for the markmaking process. I'm sure this is gonna be a godsend for a lot of people, so accessible on youtube. I apreciate all the effort put into the rhetoric, pacing and clarity as you go. nothing is left to be misinterpreted, but the foundation is there for everything to be expanded upon, for all skill levels. Amazing stuff Marco.

Tip for anyone trying this method out: don't forget to make the background layer light gray. A stark white bg will produce some unfortunate results in the color step since white + a color in the color layer equals white. That means your shading in the shadow layer will get color but the gaps will not.

@@spag5296 personally, I think he's a great artist, his work is amazing but as a teacher I cannot learn anything from him. I find him inspiring and therefore more of a motivator than a teacher for me.

As a self learner for many years, I can tell you that, this approach is the most effective and time-saving method for illustration! A lot of professional artists have kept it secret to the other learner. I read many issues of ImagineFX magazines, and no one really share this kind of approach, instead they just blur away the details and useful information. I am now really glad to learn this method finally properly, and it help me paint a great deal faster and keep my works consistent. Thank you, Marco, truly this is the most important tips for all the beginning artists on KZread so far.

For real. I really hate how most of them don't break it down like this. What's the point of even buying the magazine when we get better tutorials for free on KZread? I really only buy the magazine for inspiration and to keep up on things- when I feel like it.

In case anyone is on the fence, I can say that the seven hour lesson on planes of the head that he mentions is worth like ten times the price. Not only did I learn about the planes of the head, but also to be more mindful of planes no matter what I'm painting.

I downloaded so many brushes for CSP but the fact that you made such a beautiful painting with the basic brushes shows that it’s all about skill and not the brushes

Bless papa Marco going out of his usual work flow just to show us how it can be done

JESUS CHRIST THIS ONE IS THE BST VIDEO YOU HAVE MADE ITS SO BASIC AND EFFECTIVE I LOVE YOU OML

God bless you. The depths of KZread I had to go to find someone who breaks down the "line art to rendered painting" process. Saved, liked, subscribed.

If you press "H" on the keyboard, the canvas will flip horizontally, but it's just a visual flip, not a transformative one. The advantage being you can flip back and forth very quickly, and you can still work as normal while flipped. *I think H is the default key. That's what mine is mapped to. In any case, the functionality is there.

After more than a week of eating tutorials on how to color grayscale painting and testing them for myself.. This is EXACTLY what i was looking for! It's so comprehensive with all the breakdowns and stages. All the other tutorials are either too scatterbrained, talk about basics but obscure how to actually do things, or just talk about basics but assume you're on their level and that you're an art student or something. You can tell they don't actually care enough. Thank you so much! You're simply a hero!

I haven't picked up a pencil in a long time. But your tutorials make me want to get a tablet and try to get back into drawing.

Sees drawing tutorial in my timeline: "cool." is Marco Bucci tutorial: "OH SHIT!"

Strong voice, confident, and always gets right to the point without bla bla. I do like your videos. They help me a lot to understand things. Thank you!

Love how you simplify these art concepts through pinpointing what we need to know as beginners (omitting the more in-depth knowledge which only serves as clutter until you grasp the basics ) with tactful visuals to boot.

Timestamp for layers, for those like me, who did not have any idea what the different layer TYPES are supposed to do. 0:50 Line art; Type: Multiply | Multiply layer highlights the richly dark line art. 1:26 Shadow; Type: Multiply | Again, the multiply type highlights the darkness of the shadow. 7:30 Ambient occlusion; Type: Multiply| Ambient occlusion refers to the deepest pockets/areas of shadows. No ambient light can find their way here. 8:49 Flat colours; Type: Colour mode | VERY IMPORTANT, in the colour mode layer type, it doesn't matter how dark or light your colour is (up and down the colour box). Only HUE and SATURATION matter here. 10:25 Lights; Type: Overlay | Overlay layer affects both light and dark, as well as colour! 15:53 Highlights, Type: Screen | This type of layer is the opposite of multiply, it highlights the lightness! Everything painted on here goes lighter. 5:20 TWO shadow types: cast and form! 14:34 Use tone curves to adjust dynamic range of layers. There are other layers but these are the most basic, and for self-reference, I'm limiting my attention to these first. Also, thank you for pointing out that there are two kinds of shadow; CAST and FORM! This is one of the most important revelation for me!

THANK U for describing what the different layer options do to the piece. (screen mode can only go lighter) I loathe watching those really long videos explaining each and every one and still not getting it. I much prefer your manner of explanation. AND THE END? you offer us to do the piece, share to IG, perfect. Very motivational. Thank you

your tutorials are always so helpful and informative. You keep no secrets to yourself and for this you are a true teacher. Thank you

this deserves a million views as a beginner digital artist i’ve learned SO MUCH in the span of 18 minutes tysm for this

I love PewDiePie but I really wish this was the most subscribed channel, I have never seen anyone teach art like this in KZread, usually they leave so many little things out it becomes a major issue in keeping up, but you don't leave any detail behind, truly skilled

Man, this is like one of the best tutorials out there. Explaining the decision making is such an eye opener.

Also, I just wanted to add that in CSP you can flip the canvas just clicking the flip button under the navigator :) (those two arrowheads pointing at each other :) )

@Medic, Im Engineer I did that years ago xD But I had to delete first original shortcuts and set the ones that were comfortable and logical for me to use (h and v for horizontal and vertical flip) and for rotation. But that's not universal for everyone - the fastest way in a tutorial to make it work for everyone is the one click on the navigator :)

The 9 key is default to flip the canvas

I'm always amazed that Marc manages to compress making a walk through of a full painting he did while still sparing some time to teach us some of the most basic stuff ever. He's hands down the best teacher I've ever seen (art-related) whether that's here on KZread or back when I was in high school.

I've never really seen anyone explain highlights as "reflected light that goes straight to the viewer". It's usually just called "that part of the object getting the most light". And frankly the reflection explanation makes much more sense.

i'm usually lazy about sitting down and learning but you just teach in such a clear and simple way that it is super intriguing to watch and learn and I just smile through the video as my understanding and hunger to learn more grows! it's feels so good to draw again after long breaks and inconsistency but this time it feels like maybe i've found a way for myself to keep at it without burning out and actually advance my skills. I'll be learning a lot from you to get through my block with colors as i've always done black and white on paper.

In CSP, if you go to View -> Rotate/Flip, there's an option to flip the canvas without it actually flipping any pixels. It just shows you the canvas flipped. This is more useful, because since it doesn't actually flip any pixels for real, it's instant, no matter how big or how painted on the canvas is.

There is also a row of buttons underneath the thumbnail viewer (navigator, bottom row 2 arrows pointing at each other) . You can even open up a new version (aka find it in 'New Window' ) iirc and have that one flipped all the time.

Your time,efforts, and insights are very much appreciated Marco!

Wow I learned like a zillion new things about light and shadow. Probably the best tutorial editing and mastering I have ever seen let alone for a digital art study. Like the painting is nice but I'm so impressed by the way you teach with this amazing symphony of motion and sound and in such a short time frame. (Applause)

This is by far the most helpful tutorial for me especially that I use clip studio paint. I've been looking for a tutorial that simplifies transitioning from grayscale to color and this is the perfect tutorial. Thank you so much really 😭😭😭😭

I was searching for a video on exactly this topic a few days ago, you're a life-saver, Marco!

As always, excellent! Marco Bucci giving masterclasses away for free. Thank you for your generosity to the art community, sir.

Once again Marco simplifies things that others have tutorials about and I still didn't really get. It just proves once more that you can have abilities but knowing how to teach is an entirely different matter. Great tutorial Marco, thanks 👍

HOLY CRAP!! Where have you been all my (artistic) life?!? I swear, I learned more art theory from this video than a TON of books!! Thank you so much!!

i love the fact that not only do you show us what to do, you also explain why we need to do them

I've been doing digital art for over a year and this is one of the most important videos I've seen yet. Also you're very clear on your layers which so many tutorials aren't. Thank you so much.

Wow, I always see those options for layers and only understood multiplier cause it’s intuitive but I didnt know how u could use other to make it easier to add shadows and highlights to painting. I have portrait practice for class tomorrow so this was conveniently helpful for me. Thanks again dude✌️

As an artist that has a more simplistic art style, this has reay helped me make my draiwngs look more alive! I plan on making my art style realistic but still simplistic, not this level of realistic but to the point when you look at it you just go "wow!" Thank you so much!

This is one of the few tutorials that actually helps a lot. Thank you!

Dude, you are KZread treasure.

I've been through countless different ones, but this is the absolute best beginner's tutorial video for digital painting.

You really helped me out! Thank you so much for all of the videos! Keep up the good work!

Your demo has a lot of detailed information and generalized instruction but comprehensive and given the time you did the demo in abbreviated. I have enjoyed your video very much. Thank You

Once again an absolutely necessary tutorial, thank you for your high quality work !

Watching this is a nice refresher for the digital painting classes I took on art school. Luckily, my teachers are all working professionals and taught use about this and how clone layers and clipping masks save literal hours of time, because it breaks everything down into manageable chunks and it makes it easier to iterate and edit when a client/art director wants something changed. Judging by the comments and tutorial videos, it seems like this isn't shared for free a lot on KZread.

I just want to say a huge thank you so much! I am super new to art and I have never even thought to import line art and then use multiple different layers like that to actually render the full piece. I've been trying to do it all in one layer for colour and it was a nightmare, this method is so much more relaxing and really gets you thinking about how the light interacts with your subject and all sorts of good things. This is such a good beginner friendly video, you have my gratitude!

Finally a useful art video on layers and painting, been looking everywhere for a proper understanding.Thank you!

This is going to make me an art god. This should be found when looking for a grayscale to color tutorial

The Best tutorial I've seen so far. Thank you Sir!

as someone who purchased both the human head + color tutorials on marco's website, it's always a treat to see the applications of that information show up in his other videos. strongly recommend for anyone looking to dig in deeper :)

I went to art college for 3 years and got a BA. Im honestly not kidding but this 20 minute tutorial taught me way more than 3 years there.

The head-drawing course is super helpful, I learned more from it in a couple vids than trying to figure out anatomy from scratch for YEARS, save yourself the pain and buy it!!

tons of great info in this short video. thanks!

I know this is really late, been awhile since I've been buy, but I just wanted to say I'm really happy you're using programs like Clip Studio Paint, and Blender, it's a more modern-friendly digital art sort of environment, what with tons of people switching over to CSP and Blender becoming more and more awesome. Thanks for the great tutorials!

Holyholy, this Is a condensed masterclass! Thank you, Marco!

OMG! so much information delivered crisp and to the point! Awesome!!!

This is gold mine of valuable lessons. Thank you so much for this!

Thanks. You are a really great teacher.

one of the best tutorials I have watched, thank you x

Thanks for clearing up what ambient occlusion is!

It's so awesome you're teaching this, man. Thank you :D

Thank you so much for this tutorial , you have no idea how much i was looking for this technique.

Thanks for the fun and informative tutorial! I'm definitely gonna check out those classes you mentioned; thanks for taking the time to do these free videos on youtube as well :)

Oh my God, I almost feel like I don't deserve that kind of knowledge. This is priceless

Great lesson

This video is exactly what I needed and was looking for ^-^ thank you!

For people who don't know what things do in their respective program, like layer modes: Experiment! Have a field day testing everything! Not doing anything won't help you understand what something is for.

Thank you so much for the tutorial

This is exactly what i was needing

Thanks!It's really helpful!

This is very useful , amazing tutorial 👍👍👍

THIS IS SO USEFUL

THANK YOU FOR THIS! This is so informative but very digestible. What I'm looking for guides is why artists do certain things so that I could slowly integrate that to my own. Unfortunately, most guides only tell you to do this and that, without me understanding the concepts. So when I start a piece different from what was in the video, I'm having a hard time, i.e shading in a different perspective.
