@@cal5750 That's not how it works, for some people(like me) manually sketching a piece from scratch isboring and exhaustive. To me, I just wanna render out the ideas into art as fast as i can, I dont care what method or tool i use. Like almost every other artist, i started with traditional art, very tedious and time consuming, then i switched to digital sketching, much more enjoyable but still tedious enough as it is. As time went by, i still kept looking for better and faster ways to bring my ideas out into reality, until i discovered 3D. Now I've correct balanced workflow for my art. I dont care about my skills in sketching a character from scratch, all i care about is having the character i want in my piece. It's not about whether you can draw a face or not, its about the final artwork.

I've always said digital and traditional artwork are created very differently and one should learn how to do BOTH. Why? Because one day, you might need to create something and not have the access to technology, internet, or electricity. Or vice versa. The fact is, [ctrl]+[z] is a crutch. I dare you to draw something with a brush pen only. No pencil. No eraser. No [ctrl]+[z]. Just confidence. You can throw a crutch traditional artists suffer from at me if you want to! I'm just saying both are great. Painting/Drawing/Sculpting, in general, are all disciplines. They command respect to get anything out of it. Refuse to respect it, then you won't grow, right? I love what you said. It just provoked thoughts in me. I mean no offense and come in peace! I promise. ☺

In this short tutorial, you made the best and most cohesive Blender background modeling tutorial I have ever seen. I couldn't stand those 30 minutes long videos teaching you how to make a basic sphere. You go straight to the point, as always. Thanks a lot Marco :)

I have been waiting for someone to make a video like this and seeing this coming from you, the only one who helped me get so much better at art, just made me sOO happyy!!!

Probably one of the best take on the artstyle of arcane. Ive always been interested in making a realistic style but also having that anime look too, so when i saw arcane... I was amazed. Every shot is perfect, the paint and the blending of characters and the background is on point. Im downloading blender right now, and from what ive seen in your video, I think it would help me with my backgrounds since i struggle in making sketches of it even though i have a clear idea of what i wanted too make.

It's of course less powerful in terms of graphic drivers and processors and so on, but still an amazing tool for a professional artist like me, within a budget that, while not negligible, is less than 1/3 for an amazing tool. Just sayin', if you maybe have such a budget and wish to work digitally as smoothly as possible.

its only one frame, imagine making a whole 9episode consists of 40+ mins each episode, really props to the animation team of Arcane they really did an amazing job on making this show possible

I'm going to have to watch this a few more times to absorb every single nugget of knowledge from it. This was so impressive!

My brain is tingling from all the good information your feeding it. It’s ridiculous how many KZread videos I’ve watched trying to learn something about art and nothing had helped me more than your videos and it’s not even close.. your the best! also love this show

As someone who is trying to learn blender for character modeling, why was this more informative than ANY actual character modeling tutorials I've ever seen. Like seriously thank you, you've taught me more about blender and basic tools/shortcuts than any other blender video I've ever watched and I've spent countless hours watching blender tutorials

Excellent painting tutorial with emphasis on the real big ideas with refined, economic explanation, _And an accessible introduction to Blender with marvellous results!_ Grade A as always, thanks Marco!

This has just given me the digital art insights I wanted and the Blender refresher I needed. You're an awesome teacher as you are an awesome artist! Merry Christmas, Marco! ^^

Came in with low expectations, but everything from that blender section to the end blew me away. I'll definitely use this a lot.

Some tips : You can render different passes in Blender which can speed up and simplify the process a ton ! For example the Crytomatter Pass, gives a different color for each object/materials so that you can just use the magic wand and select that color, eventually selecting that particular object without have to manually selecting and lassoing :) Another example is the mist pass which can help you add fog very easily in photoshop... Another passes include ambient occlusion which could help me add shadoes and AO directly in photoshop without manual painting ... Hope you guys find something helpful :) Have a creative day :)

This just came up on my youtube recommended - I'm not an artist or into drawing or painting in any way, but wow. You really have a knack for explaining complex things in a simple way. I never understood how people know how to do shadows in art or blend things or when to put lines (i DO do art, but collageing, video editing... not this medium. i tried and failed) but you break it down in a way that makes it easy to understand and that it's attainable. You've earned yourself a new fan today and I look forward to bingeing your old work and to seeing what you do next.

I was literally thinking when someone would make a video about this topic, and surprise surprise, its Marco Bucci, I love you man, your videos inspired me to try something new, Im 22 and have been drawing since I was 10 but I only drew black and white characters with only one pose, but when I bought my first tablet and thought id draw the same thing over and over, your videos opened my eyes with the joys of color and the art I could learn to create, now after half of your videos I finally am confident drawing with color and more motivated when it comes to drawing, I love you and thank you for the content, you make us newbies open our eyes.

Out of all the artists I follow, you're the one I least expected to make an arcane video, but I freaking Love it!!!!

Im blow away by how much i learned in this video, ive even been using blender for a while and learned more about that as well. thank you

This video is more valuable than gold and should be added to the periodic table.

So much useul info!! Also, I did not expect a mini /starter blender tutorial but it is the most welcomed, you make it look so approachable ahah Thank you so much for sharing, you're such an amazing teacher!

If I never watched Arcane I wouldn’t have found this study and I’m so happy because normal Blender tutorials are super confusing but you explain everything really well, so thank you!

I feel like I just gained an entire lecture's worth of knowledge & understanding in 20 mins - thank you so much for this!

Literally jumped in excitement when i saw this uploaded, ive been wanting to study arcane bc the planes for the faces are such a great reference! Thank u sm for this ur videos are always educational and helpful!! 😍💗

That was one of the most useful videos on Blender I've ever seen. Simple, concise, understandable. Brilliant! Thank you:)

I'm laughing here alone because I'm taking a Blender course right now and you've explained the basics of movement + shortcuts way better and quicker. To factor that I didn't even expect a Blender minicourse here in the video. And also thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

I started watching your videos and I'm actually learning a lot. I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into your content. As an artist, you are being super helpful. So thank you a lot!

your reading on character contrasts really opened my eyes keep doing what u do marco!

Man you are a compressed art school So much premium grade value teaching in such a short video . Woaaaw. Million kudos Bro !!!

Man I was there when you had 20k subs, now you've exploded to 700k how does time flies

This is an amazing video and now I might just have to get blender, although I'm sure using 3d assets from clip paint studio is also somewhat effective. I do want to say I hate the concept of "cheating" in art. For me, taking advantage of the tool sets given to you doesn't make you a "cheater". They are just tools, no matter how many references, 3d models, or etc you have, it won't turn out well if you don't have the fundamentals down. We have the technology, why not use it? Maybe it's more impressive if you don't need these tools, but I'd rather use these tools and have something more accurate while being more time efficient than trying to do it alone. Because the only reason I'd figure you'd do it without a tool set is either: a) you went so long without it that you feel more efficient without it or b) you hold some artificial pride and think that using tools makes you "less of an artist". Which it absolutely doesn't and I genuinely don't think that's the perspective many people in those fields feel either. So please, don't feel discouraged to use tools that could honestly improve not only your work, but your skill too.

BRO, seriously i click for the arcane artstyle study, i stay for the blender tutorial. Never in my life as an artist was interest in 3d modelling since i thought "it's hard" "only 3d artists use them" and "my laptop is shit" (which it is). Now not do only understand and appreciate 3d modelling, now I want to do it myself and learn! fr this video is a blessing in disguise and not only for art studies.

Arcane viewer: this art style is so unique and revolutionary dishonored, borderlands, telltale, transistor, or any of the under appreciated indie titles and projects that don’t get the same amount of love from a multi million dollar studio: 👁👃👁

Being a subscriber of marco bucci was the best thing I did in 2022

This video is not only a masterpiece, but also a masterclass. Thank so much for your work, Marco!

Marco = not at all old. Also, I find it entertaining when you say, “I’m just scribbling in some...” and then proceed to draw and paint a masterpiece. Thanks for another great video, Marco!

i've been wanting to draw some backgrounds inspired by arcane because honestly that show was a source of inspiration for me, it made me so EAGER to draw and that hasn't happened in a long time. then i went to my subs tab and found your video and it was like a gift from heaven because i was wondering how could i paint in this style, so thank you so so much

I gotta say that your videos make me look at what I'm doing and realize a lot of the stuff I do wrong in painting fairly often, it's a great shortcut to have things pointed out to you instead of having to paint for hours and hours then suddenly go "Oh, wait, this is why I'm doing this part wrong" Keep making the amazing videos

THANKS for the honesty, simplicity and niceness...and art.

Best unexpected quick-go blender tutorial I've come across.

ive been generally unsure about what kind of art field i want to go into for so long, but this show really settled it for me. i want to create characters as amazing as these someday, and i promise i will!!

Wow! So much packed into one video. It'll take me a long time to digest all of this! Thanks a lot!

The production value for this video is insane. Nice job

I had given up hope of finding an Artist's Guide to Blender of sorts, and I didn't expect to find it in this video, but lo and behold! Thank you for the brilliant tutorial, as always!

I watched first 5 minutes of this video and was like- wow, I'm so happy I found a video like this! And minute by minute I was even more impressed, you talked about so many things, even blender- thank you!

I came here to learn how to paint like arcane characters and now I'm downloading blender, god bless you Marco, you're amazing!

Fantastic video, man! I've been sharing your channel a bunch lately, really great breakdowns.

I have seen like 2 hours +- of Blender tutorials and didn't understand a thing, your 10 mintues tutorial made me finally understand xddddd

That's an amazing drawing. I'm a new to the channel here and I was not expecting a blender tutorial thrown in there, but this made me want to try it.

Great tutorial, I'm getting into digital painting as a last chance of getting good at painting after years of only being good at sketching and 3d. This was really good help thank you

Thank you for this amazing video! Accessible and articulate, so even a beginner digital painter like me can understand and feel inspired by it. Really excited to try some studies now.

Love that clipstudio have a 3D functions to allow us to do this directly in the same software and sceen 🙂. Loved the analyst!

Thank you it's is incredibly clear and concise, I am so grateful you put so much free tutorials like this, thank you !

What a banger of a breakdown vid~! I have been thinking about using blender for a lot of the backgrounds in the graphic novels my wife and I are planning, and now having seen you break the process apart like that, I'm sold~!

Honestly this video us so useful it even tells us soo much about storytelling. If you replace light and dark with good and evil you can clearly tell how its a visual aid for a greater purpose.

My goal for 2022 was actually start to learn to painting by trying to replicate scenes from Arcane. Now this tutorial will be my guide on that journey, thank you! I hope you do more tutorial about this serie. Greetings from Perú

Arcane was such a great show and the art style and animation was gorgeous! Thanks for the video!

This was one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. Thank you

This is the exact video I was hoping for ever since Arcane came out lol, thank you!

I'm in awe at how you mind works. Brilliant! Thank you for this.

thanks for the vid i love it, when i first saw arcane is was instantly asking my self how the style works and what is made with 3d renders and what is drawn and ur video realy made me understand it a bit

to be honest with you , in my head your the bob ross of digital painting , just the way you talk and appreciate art and shapes and design choices just makes me more excited and interested in art . i am watching you head studies from skill share and you even make an anatomy class which is usually boring super easy to understand and exciting to watch . i thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your great great great art tutorials ,❤

man really managed to fit a 3d-2d tutorial with all the basics in in one 20-minute video

Oh my gosh, what an underrated channel. So glad i found you. Bouta binge watch some vids

A beautiful and accurate evaluation of the art style. I couldn't ask for anything more. Consider me subscribed!

U HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I WAS TO SEE THIS IN MY SUBS !! Cant wait to make more fanart w ur tips 😍😍

Really amazing stuff! You nailed it when it comes to basic animation and knowledge is basically position scale rotation! Been doing motion graphics for 10+ years now and those are the basic principals! Also, I never really blocked out a scene to draw on top of. That was really cool! Also, dang....that laptop IS cool. Have you tried getting that style IN blender?! I know its a lot more than just texturing - especially because I believe they change those textures up depending on the angle and environment. Looooooots of work went into that show and it blows my mind! Definintely one of my favorite pieces of media this year EASILY and I dont know crap about LoL!

I can't wait to put this to use! Thank you so much for all of this helpful content

I just clicked this for fun and intrigued with the style but Blender was a surprise there! It's not a shame to do 3D if you cant make it on 2D. besides, that's what technology is for, to make your work easier. I'm gonna learn this one when I get my new PC~ Thank you Marco!
