A 1-Year Review of Marc Brunet's "Art School For Digital Artist"

[@MangaMikeLee]

Hey everyone! I do realize that some of the sections here might not be 1000% what you were looking for please skip to whatever section will feel most helpful for you! I am going to push the linked time segments to the front of my description for easy access.

[@kahleeb6175]

I recently paid for the course a couple months ago and although I’m only a little ways into the course I’m already seeing huge improvements in my art. I think the price is absolutely worth it considering how much content you get from it. And it’s taught in an easy to grasp way.

[@MangaMikeLee]

Couldn’t agree more! Good luck with it and be sure to reach out to the discord community for feedback!

[@alexadame7389]

Im thinking of getting course i really want to improve to the point i can make graphic novels or sell my drawings but im not even close to that type of skill I got a chrome book and clip studio do i really need buy something better?

[@theartofcaliforniapizzakitchen]

⁠@@alexadame7389 you’re probably not still looking for an answer since this was 7 months ago, but clip studio is probably fine as long as you know your way around the program cuz most of what he’s doing can be translated. As for the chromebook, as long as you can play an mp4 on it it’s fine. But I would recommend getting an external storage thing if you don’t have a lot of space on the chromebook.

[@TheLuconic]

Also I was completely taken back by how it’s a 2 year plan to get you gud. It’s actually criminal by how cheap Marc sells his course for!!!!

Yup! You ever see one punch man? Lol

[@glorytoukraine5524]

I have also had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Marc's course. During the year I have had it for, I improved more than I did by myself 5 years before that. Like you, I have focused on anatomy and gesture drawing, and I have to say, the difference is night and day.

[@MangaMikeLee]

It’s really incredible what good guidance can do for your progress! Really happy to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience! I hope you continue to improve and have fun!

[@SaltedMallows]

It's very good to have someone willing to publicly come forward and share their honest review about the course. This helps a lot of people understand much better what they need and if it's right for them. Thank You.

[@MangaMikeLee]

Of course! I’m glad it was helpful for you and hopefully a bunch of others too!

[@codysimon8254]

Huge improvement in your gesture. I can say that anatomy is the fun part of the course so far but man has the leg anatomy been taking me forever. Keep improving and have a great day!

[@MangaMikeLee]

Thank you! And yea it has been a it of fun learning more and being able to apply it. I definitely need to go back and do the leg and arm anatomy courses again… lots of information in there! Good luck with everything!

Of course! Glad it was helpful for you. I feel like artists are afraid to show the struggle online but it’s definitely a hard, arduous process. Happy drawing!

[@wormitha]

Thank you for this thorough review! I've always liked his free stuff and I've been curious about his paid content. He has 14k+ students now, and I assume he has at least a hundred in the feedback course, so I was worried the feedback itself would be lacking. I'm so happy to hear that this course has helped you this much, especially with your confidence.

@@MangaMikeLee Do you get to keep the videos after you pay for the courses? Or is it time based.

Thanks you too man! It’s definitely a hard skill to excel in but wish you all the best!

[@mrs.quills7061]

Same with the state of the world right now, I can’t really afford to spend that kind of money, just an fyi around the holidays and Black Friday I believe his school is half off? Or has some type of discount, I wanted to buy it then, but got scared because I was worried I wouldn’t learn or wouldn’t improve. This video helped me a lot as I’m sort of in an art lull I’ve improved as much as I could by myself and am struggling with anatomy.

[@DonnyD_Mingo]

If it helps at all you can also buy individual terms and just buy the next one when you feel like youve mastered the term you bought or when you have the $50 to buy the next term You can even contact marc and he'll refund you for the courses you bought already, to be put towards buying the remaining terms if you get to like the last 3 or something and have the money to just buy out the rest

[@mineiro2377]

@@DonnyD_Mingo This is a good idea, thanks

[@mrs.quills7061]

I really appreciate you sharing this, I was gunna get it last year but hesitated because of the hell I went through in actual art school (most of my profs were belittling and not supportive and left me with some trauma I’ve been working on) and also I was just worried about investing in this and committing to it. I know he has a sale around the holidays and I might snag it up, but what’s holding me back is the state of the world right now. I’ve been very strict with budgeting and saving my money because of inflation and a soon to be recession. He well deserves the money and has amazing content on KZbin, but I’m in a hard place right now. I’m trying my best to self teach anatomy and grow more artistically, but I feel I’m in a lull. I was able to relearn the fundamentals in a much safer and sustainable pace with KZbin and my own projects, but I struggle with backgrounds and human characters.

[@MangaMikeLee]

Thanks for sharing all of that. It’s definitely difficult when you have people who are consistently making you feel bad about the work you do… not sure why some people feel that is conducive of growth and learning. So I do apologize on their behalf for you being treated poorly. The strength of Marc’s program is the flexibility you can do it at your own pace. It is also VERY thorough in almost every aspect of the word. You can also pay for sections of the program so you don’t feel like you’re breaking bank all at once!

[@ZanoxisStreaming]

Thank you! You helped me make my final choice to buy the course. I was saving up for it, have the cash, but I was doubting before this.

[@MangaMikeLee]

You’re welcome! I’m still learning a ton from each segment even a couple years after buying it! I definitely feel like it’s worth the investment!

[@IDontKnowYouWhoAreYou]

yes you discard you're community xD

[@UlfricStromcloak]

I just only have one problem with this course & that is not having a dedicated section for line refinements, Shapes & Form & Construction . I am not talking about the Anatomy where he showed Human construction in details, but the general construction like Forms, Forms in perspective, Drills or Exercise to improve it. May a some drills with Straight lines & Curves line, some fundamentals involving Dynamics Sketching. He talked briefly about in at the beginning of the first module of anatomy , but a dedicated section would have been better. like he did a video on 30 days challenge to improve your drawing. Even that video in just an elaborative manner would have been much appreciated. otherwise, Anatomy, Perspective, Gesture, Color theory, Light & Shadow, Composition, Design Theory, he was as detailed as one can be. + the dedicated section to Photoshop, Zbrush, Nude figure sculpting, Animal Anatomy, Character Design, Mech design, Prop design, Environment Design, Matte painting, Graphic Design, Illustration it can be as extensive as one course can be.

[@MangaMikeLee]

I would agree! I do think that some of the earlier terms could be revisited. I think that he would probably agree to some extent too which is why his weekly guide includes some of his KZbin videos. The 2 things that I would have liked more in depth classes on would have been stylized faces in perspective, with emotions included. Then what you are asking for as well which is drawing the body in perspective. He goes over this a little in the 2nd perspective class, but it probably needs its own term in my opinion.

[@mackenner956]

Seems like I hear the same kind of feedback everywhere, maybe I should go for it.. Thanks for the review!

The information was amazing but I don't think things were cleary explained enough.

[@00emoboy00]

@MangaMikeLee Can this art course also be of help for traditional new artists as well? So, I'm not exactly starting at 0 since i use to draw hideous pieces back in art class in HS (i just have absouletly no structure,practice,or full basic knowledge of art theory) I'm now 27 but all i've seen from reviewers is this is worth the value, but what if i decide to follow along with pencil/pen until i feel satisfied in my sketches to where i'm able to buy the desired tablet/ipad to return to complete the related terms. How many terms do you think can i complete/grasp in before investing in one? or would it be wiser to just start drawing digitally without paper knowledge/EXP.

[@MangaMikeLee]

Definitely a lot of great questions here. So be sure to look over the list of courses/terms, but I would say you could probably do about 70% of the material without a tablet or screen. There are a lot of courses that are specific to software but the fundamentals can all be done on paper. As far as the amount of terms you can reasonably complete, I would say probably up to about 6-7 with again about 20-30% of the courses not being applicable due to being a traditional artist.

[@lizardltd]

I think that the real insightful question, that is also harder to answer is: will a year of this course get me further than another course, or compared to watching videos online and practicing a lot, or even going to an actual art school? I never doubted that his course could help people, but will it help anyone more than the other options? Is this the best value? Would you have gotten to the same point without this course but by investing the same amount of time into books and just drawing?

[@MangaMikeLee]

That’s a great question and my answer is no. I will say that is just me and I’m sure not everyone would benefit from this course the way I have or other people because people are different. The difference between this and traditional school is the cost. Spending 30-40k per year (for U.S. schooling) is a lot of money to maybe succeed at something. Especially because a lot of schools don’t focus on digital art as much. I also attempted to learn by myself, just looking up random videos piecing together books etc, I probably spent more on that than the school and I’ve improved more in the past 1.5 years than I did in the previous 3 years of drawing combined. The main difference imo is the structure and the quality. Looking up vids and books and trying to piecemeal it together is difficult to do when you are struggling to figure out where to start. This school gives you the path to success. Again everyone is different but that’s my take!

[@clovertales5197]

No it isn't the best. Your improvement solely depends on you. I'm already 8 months in his course, watched his videos up to leg anatomy and haven't touched anything (for 4 months now). Art is a progressive profession/activity. It doesn't happen in a year or so. In contrast, this is still achievable IMO (proven and tested) but YOU need time here, lots and lots of time and DEDICATION if you really want to see results in a year. What I like about this course is that it has its own community (well everybody has, still), the feedback you get from your colleagues and sharing your progress in the forum. Do I recommend joining artschool? heck yeah.. Having more people means more fun which is great. So good luck and always don't forget to have fun in your art journey 💯

[@May-om3ue]

Which website or app are u using for references?? I usually use line of action but I really loved that the one u are using are drawn references, not real humans. So please share the name of the website!

[@MangaMikeLee]

So the references I found myself, some are on cubebrush others are from pinterest. The app is called gesture drawing, it’s also on cubebrush Here’s the site cubebrush.co

[@-_Ash_]

Even though you have 1750$, the feedback option is always out of stock for now. I think there is a huge line of people who are waiting for it. So, you can only watch his streams to look up for your topic to hope you get new info for you. I've been doing his program and still all depends upon you and your time to dedicate. I wouldn't say that there is something unique in the course, just a compilation of youtube videos everyone can find here. But if 500$ is not a problem for you, it's definitely worth it. But if your country is out of good economy, then you should think twice.

[@MangaMikeLee]

Yes the feedback program stopped about 6 months ago. But I do disagree with you on your second point yes you can find a compilation of KZbin videos that would cover some of the topics but the uniqueness of this program is that you get everything you need in order from start to finish. But yes the point of having to dedicate is correct and true about anything you do. Appreciate your comment and you opinion! Happy drawing!

[@Jerry12533]

I would say nobody need art school or course to be good artis but his art school is helping me a lot and I neve went that much into image manupilation true photoshop etc. only drawing so I learned a lot about manupilation of images true photoshop wille yeah I will problebly not use image manupilation for most of my drawing it can help as just adding small deatials, he covers a lot of stuff which is great for beginers and intimided lerners of digital art. wille some argue he could put more ataonomy etc. his courses is marked as basic to advance basic skill if you looking for atonomy only course there are other that go deeper like proko but yeah mark art school 4 out of 5 must buy if you can, don't starve yourself just to buy a cours.

[@MangaMikeLee]

I agree! His courses on body anatomy are phenomenal in my opinion. I’ll probably be doing an updated version of this review sometime soon. But I still really love this course and Marc as a teacher.

[@Jerry12533]

@@MangaMikeLee the only real complant I have about his program is the photoshop (Only appers in term 1) wille it is usefull if your not most people buy a corse to learn to draw so he would need to put som much into photoshop specely when programs like clip studio don't have enogue resorces to edit photos. I is a nice tuch to get used to tolls in the software that you will use but if you came to learn to draw, photo eddeting is not most importatn but some excersise like maching collor and images whit level, hue, color balanc is nice excersies to get used to difrent collor thones and observing images. To me personely he just spends to much time on photoshop in term 1 it could be cut in 1 week but he did say you could do whatever you want. so yeah my only complaint is photoshop could be cut into 1 week rather then put in 2 weeks.

[@macariolopez8965]

Are there still life practice/assignments? (Like color and value studies?)

[@MangaMikeLee]

I will say this is probably the weakest part of the program. There are no specific assignments for still life or practicing the fundamentals of value in particular. He does give the theory but the practice is kind of on the person.

[@macariolopez8965]

@@MangaMikeLee thanks for clarifying 🙂

[@stoneblockone8724]

Thanks for the great video! I have a question though, would you recommend the program to complete beginners. I have done a couple of digital art pieces and I understand how the programs work, but I mostly just made them from copying a references anatomy. My dream is to become as good as the anime and manga artists in the industry. Do you think this art program would help me in achieving the goal of being able to draw from 0?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Thank you! I really appreciate it. The first thing I’ll say is that if you are working from reference you aren’t at 0 because it takes discipline to do that! So give yourself a pat on the back. Then my answer to your question is yes this program is actually intended for people who have little to no experience in art and if you put enough work in I think it’s possible to get to a level of mangaka.

[@gyrozeppali3734]

Hey man, first nice video! What I need to know is about things I would have to own in advance to take his class. I can't find the information anywhere. Can i use keyboard and mouse? Could I use a stylus? Should I or do I have to own photoshop or another program? Are there any other additional fees? Like a required subscription to cubebrush? I have a low-end $400 laptop, would that be enough, or does the class require you to do complex renders? Or anything else you could think of. I have been thinking about taking his class for a while now. I would so greatly appreciate the help. As a bonus for answering I'll tell him you helped me get there. Thankyou very much

[@MangaMikeLee]

Haha you don’t have to say anything to Marc I don’t get commission or anything 😊 thank you though! I appreciate you supporting the vid and asking questions. So while there are classes that you won’t get much value from if you aren’t working digitally, you could do the first half of this entire course (maybe even the whole thing) with a pencil and paper. But if you want to learn digital art here is my suggestion: Don’t use a mouse to draw, at least have a tablet/ipad/display tablet/pen display of some sort. If you have an iPad you won’t need a computer. If you want to use a computer then you’ll want one capable of using clip studio, photoshop, or one of the free softwares like gimp. There’s no subscription to cubebrush and the program is a one time fee, unless you want multiple years of feedback from Marc. Also I will say this might end up being a little pricy for you so the real question is how serious are you about your art. If you want to be a professional someday then see it as an investment. That doesn’t mean to break the bank because you can learn to create digital art from a pen display (tablet without a screen) that is professional quality, but that does mean you shouldn’t feel guilty about doing what you feel would help.

[@gyrozeppali3734]

@@MangaMikeLee Thanks for such an honest answer. I'll wait until I have access to a tablet. I'm not serious at all about art as in pictures. I want to make comics and low end anime as a hobby, and release it on my vtube channel. Thankyou again, that really helped. Happy holidays

[@xXXxnoble6XxXx]

Do i miss anything on the course if i buy the terms individually? Like assignments/proyects, the certificate or the discord? i can't really afford the full course but i can buy each term monthly. I started drawing 4 years ago, trying to learn things on my own through youtube mostly (Marc included), but many personal things made me loose motivation or i would give up thinking i wasn't getting anywhere. After a 1 year hiatus that i completely regret i came to the conclusion that i need an organized course, telling me where to start and where to go from there. Hopefully this course brings me the motivation i always needed. Thanks for the review!

Oh that’s a really great question you should go onto cubebrush and direct message Marc. I don’t want to give you the wrong answer!

Once you pain for the feedback how long will he be giving you feedback for. Like if you take more than 1+ year in the course will he keep giving you feedback or do you have to pay again on the second year?

You get feedback once a week for a year then once your year is up you have to pay again (at a slightly reduced rate) for feedback. Then you get another year of weekly feedback.

Will this art course also be a help for traditional artists as well? I currently prefer pencil and paper over digital. It just feels like i have more control

[@MangaMikeLee]

I say yes! You definitely can get a ton out of the course as a traditional artist. The only part that you will want to figure out is how to use light boxes and things of that nature when creating final products! Some of the courses also just won’t be applicable at all, particularly the beginning courses.

Hello, I would like to ask, how to you get those blue lines under your video files to show how much you completed? and also is feedback from marc for standard licence? If yes where do I send my feedback I have NO IDEA lol!

[@MangaMikeLee]

The blue lines would indicate where you currently are in the video if you are watching them on the site. If you download them then it won't show up. The feedback is a separate thing, you can buy just the program OR the program with feedback (there is also an option to add feedback later if you just buy the program now). The feedback happens live on Facebook, if you look at his KZbin Channel the really long videos are cuts of the feedback he gives to us, they are just from a year or two ago. There's a whole process for when you get the feedback on how to post and stuff, but that gets explained to you via email when you buy it.

Great questions! I firmly believe art is a learned skill not just a talent. Yes some people are naturally a little better than others but that doesn’t mean you can’t acquire the skill. Also I’m 29 myself and I just got the program a couple years ago. It’s definitely not too late if anything as long as you put the effort it you can learn and develop quicker than younger individuals!

[@qanguyen1998]

Will Marc fix my bad art if I buy this class? Can I ask him anything I don't know? And where can I ask him directly

[@MangaMikeLee]

That’s a difficult question to answer. If you just buy the course you won’t get feedback from him you also have to buy the feedback portion. If you decide to do that he will help you learn in areas that you need help in. Instructions on how to submit for feedback and things of that nature are included in your purchase. But you shouldn’t go into it just asking things randomly because he will refer you to different courses and tell you to work on fundamentals. You want to make sure you work hard on the courses and bring specific questions to the live stream that he gives feedback on.

Hey!Can you do the course with only on iPad ?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Yup! You can do this course with any medium I would say. Even traditional!

[@Rockervaner]

the course is like forever? or the access to it it's limited to a time span like the ones on class 101?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Yea you have lifetime access to the courses on the site once you purchase them. You can even download them if you’d like. The feedback from Marc is only for a year though!

[@luchoaventuras7820]

hi, how much time did you dedicate to learning how to draw each day during the 2 years that you study the course?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Hey on average the first couple of years probably around 1.5-2 hours a day.

My message to Marc. It's almost 2024. Update term 10 maybe?

[@MangaMikeLee]

There are a few classes that probably need a little bit of an update I agree! Still a great course though in my opinion!

[@platinumt3425]

He almost sounds like Marc Himself. Hmmm Marc can shapeshift into a reptillian and give himself a positive review confirmed.

[@MangaMikeLee]

😂😂 that’s a pretty wild theory you have going on there lol

[@tyrellfutialo8200]

would an ipad or ipad air work for this course?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Yup! I actually used an iPad for a good portion of the course content

[@DarBear95]

do you need to have ps and zbrush? and do you need a pc and drawing tablet? I ask because I'm a truck driver

[@MangaMikeLee]

A couple of the courses do require a 3D program and he does do all tutorials on ps. With that being said I skipped over the 3D classes for now and may go back to them later on if needed and I did everything on clip studio. You could theoretically do everything traditionally but if you are constantly on the move as a truck driver I’d recommend investing in an IPad and getting clip studio or an equivalent program on that. I use that as a supplement to my Pc and it works just as well!

[@DarBear95]

@Manga Mike Lee thank you very much for your time. I currently only have pro create, which seems to be more of a basic program, but I do see people make some amazing art using it as well.

[@MangaMikeLee]

@@DarBear95 Not a problem at all! I appreciate your comment. Honestly that's all you need, I just decided not to use procreate only because I have used Clip Studio for 5ish years now. I think procreate would work perfectly fine! Just does not have as many tools.

[@williammclean6594]

So I like to draw but say that you did his course and then you eventually get to his level of drawing. Is there any way to get money from it and get a good career? Because I'm a realist and at the end of the day it all comes down to money I need that money

[@MangaMikeLee]

He actually was making 6 figured when he was working at Blizzard. If you work really hard and get really good at drawing you can make a good amount of money.

[@williammclean6594]

@@MangaMikeLee good I'm drawing everyday and to be honest I don't like any career that you have to go to school for. like everything seems boring to me. I'm working part-time right now but I literally went through all the possible careers at the University and they're all boring nothing besides art inspires me. And I follow business and trading and things like that I make a good amount of money on the side doing day trading. And a lot of the really wealthy people they don't suggest going to school anymore because you're going to get yourself into debt and there's no guarantee that you'll get a job and a lot of people hire you even without the degree like my friend when school be a nutritionist for 4 years and the guy gave him the job anyways and he said he didn't even care about his degree he only got the job because he knew a lot about nutrition and he already knew about all of that stuff before he went to school

[@MangaMikeLee]

Yea it’s definitely difficult making those kinds of choices. I feel like people should go to school to find something they love because you’re absolutely correct, there’s no guarantee you’ll pay off your debt. Art is definitely a hard profession to get into, but if you put in the work you can definitely get there! Good luck!

[@williammclean6594]

@@MangaMikeLee yeah art is like the only career where if you put in the work people can see that and if you're lucky companies will even reach out to you. And with schooling the way it used to work you go to school you get a job you save up and you retire when you're 60. according to a lot of financial experts now that doesn't work anymore everything's like way more expensive now. And a lot of people say if you're not studying something like a lawyer or a doctor or something you can pretty much learn anything now online or through reading books so you're kind of wasting your money getting a degree if you don't need it for like a very specific job because a lot of people hire you now without the degree

[@williammclean6594]

@@MangaMikeLee also going to Art School not like online art school but like paying to go to an actual school to learn art isn't really worth it a lot of schools don't teach you any sort of fundamentals they assume that you already know everything like I went to an art school and I didn't learn anything. It might be different for like more expensive well-known art schools but art school isn't like it used to be like in the Renaissance where you would study under a master and he would teach you everything art school now is more about building up your portfolio and like learning how to advertise and stuff then actually learning art it's basically an advertisement till so people see your work and you get hired by something in the industry

[@Ser_meowsalot]

how many hours do you put on your art work while having a full time job? Thx in advance

[@MangaMikeLee]

Per day at least 2 I would say per week probably around 20+. I think that number will increase to about 30+ once I start my web comic. And you are more than welcome!

[@lovers8811]

@@MangaMikeLee i already purchased the course, but im only on term 2 so i have a ways to go until I finish. However, im also trying to work on a comic and wanted to know if the course goes over shading and hatching in grey scale? outside of anatomy, I noticed that was an area i wanted to work on, but i didn't find good material on youtube that fit my learning style.

[@MangaMikeLee]

Hey, so I would say that shading in grayscale is covered in the terms. But, more specific niche things like hatching is not. I would say your best bet for something like that would be to look up people like David Finch or Robert Marzullo they have some pretty good videos.The courses created by Marc are geared more toward getting hired as a professional illustrator or concept artist specifically in the video game industry. @@lovers8811

[@AradhyPersonal]

Hey man, i want to buy the course but the problem is i only have 1 year to become a good artist. This is my last year of highschool and i need to get better before it ends. the weekly schedule marc provied is for 2 years. what can i do?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Appreciate the post! The one thing I would recommend is to just spend all the free time you can doing art and trying to get better. You can try to push through his weekly assignments quicker but I’m not sure if I would recommend that. You can become a good artist in a year but it’s really hard to work for one year and become a professional in that time frame. Though this is a bit of tough love I would say to try to not put as much pressure on yourself to be great right now and be patient with the process. The faster you try to learn art the more likely you are to form bad habits and those set you back more. If you’re serious about art and want to be a professional artist practice every day with Marc’s guide, feedback from others and maybe try to find a mentor and that would help you become better more quickly.

[@AradhyPersonal]

@@MangaMikeLee Thank Mike! I appreciate your reply, my plan right now is to study 4-5 hours daily for next 11 months. What do you suggest?

[@AradhyPersonal]

@@MangaMikeLee Also, I know this might annoy you, but can you share the discord group? I want to interact with peers for more information. I don't have that in my course for some reason

[@MangaMikeLee]

Sorry for the late responses, my reply to the practice part is that I would consider what you are doing as a good amount of practice! Just be consistent, move to the next lesson once you sincerely feel like you understand about 75-80% of the material really well. Don’t rush through it! And spend a lot of time on the first 5 terms, those are the fundamentals the better you understand that the better off you’ll be. I can really post the discord on here, but the directions should be in a pdf file on cube brush.

I understand, thanks for your helpful response! I've started the course and making notes and all. I really appreciate your help for all of us. you're a good person :) @@MangaMikeLee

Does it gives certification too? I know you can, like, get into jobs without really having any art school as part of your CV, but it would be good to know this.

Yes you can get a certificate once you turn in your final project at the end of the course.

Can someone from another country buy the course

I’m going to assume so! I think some people from Europe have been in his feedback course so I will tentatively say yes!

Is it for digital or tradicional art?

Mostly digital but the skills learned can be applied to traditional as well.

How many months do you spend per term?

It just depends on your art level and how much you spend per week on drawing could be a few months could be longer. I’ve been on term 7 stuff for about 5 months now.
