👨‍🎨 HOW TO STUDY ART THE RIGHT WAY (avoid wasting time)

A great weekend indeed! Thanks for this great study-advice and a great weekend for you as well, cheers!

[@Shion-r3n]

Marc hey, i got some questions, i feel like its easier for me to learn if someone points out what im doing wrong and explains me how to fix it, thats why sometimes tutorials dont work as good for me, because i can only see an example and then is hard for me to apply it on other things, do you think thats bad? should i change my way of thinking or its an actual thing? i know you had a lot of questions from your viewers, but if you see this i will apreciate it a lot

notes 1. observe what you'll draw a good amount of time before drawing it to make sense of what you see. shapes, shadows, highlights 2. look to fundamentals especially construction using simple 3D shapes [lineart]. look to other artists to see how they do it 3. educate yourself to become a specialist of what you like to draw. for characters, anatomy. the more you know about the subject you like to draw, the better you can observe it and improve your drawings. use references, draw the construction, move on to detail. try to not depend on the reference after construction, but look at it if you hesitate or forget any information, then put it away. with a solid construction, now we can move on to details. rely less and less on references, trust your memory and what you have learned and observed.

[@miku0621]

ive been struggling with drawing alot and when i read "educate yourself to become a specialist of what you like to draw" it all clicked. I can draw some things really well because i know every in and out of them, i know everything about them but i cant draw things that i have no experience with.

[@kidwithproblems8773]

The one problem about me when I come to art in the beginning is that I wanna draw things fast, sometimes I skip sketching and just start drawing, but now I just take my time and just draw, simple shapes and connecting them with lines and it’s great. All I am saying is just patience, and it’s not a contest, don’t get jealous when you see another artist, just keep drawing

[@Disheartthorn]

Idk how to sketch tbh, I only have a pen I just try shapes as a little warm up. I wasn't really that motivated to get into Anatomy. I tried to draw a fan from just observation and it went. Ok ig.

[@ncshuriken]

And probably 5x that or more if you went to art college. I found that most (possibly all!!) of the best quality pro artists I know (EG whose art is in IRL galleries around the world) did have an "official art education", but there are self taught artists out there with amazing skill that should hopefully make it clear to all us beginners that "art college is only for people who want to spend a helluva lot of money". I was honestly shocked though at how few pro artists out there (from the last 500 years!) are known to have been self taught. I remember looking into the subject and finding almost nobody that was truly impressive to me (personally atleast).

[@gekkou3733]

Yeah right? Hahaha I am finding myself and arts having those style touches of him. Plus his advise about the artblock it is true. I am always trying to trick my brain that my art is awesome before leaving it and go back excited. Not all the time tho. But still, depends on your efforts.

[@Zarzak]

Marc, I appreciate that your introductions are fun and goofy and you clearly have fun editing them. But I ALSO appreciate, that when it comes time to give your instruction and your knowledge, you present it very professionally and clearly without wasting time. I hope that your students understand that this is a GREAT quality to have in the workplace and in life. You set a good example of a great professional attitude. Don't take yourself too seriously, but take your work seriously. Have fun while being the best. Much love to you Marc, for spreading the good art vibes!

[@lucreate3212]

What I learned so far: 1. Observe the reference/subject you want to draw. 2. Understand the anatomy and look to the fundamentals and build a construct for your drawing using basic 3d/2d shapes and see how other artist do it.(or simply take inspiration) 3. Line art is the most important part in a drawing after details. 4. Educate yourself to become a specialist of what you like to draw. 5. Be patient, trust the process, take your work seriously and enjoy :D

[@Prefex88]

I've been "seriously" doing art for almost 3 years now, but only recently have I discovered the REAL importance of study and practice in art. Marc's video has motivated me to start studying and I'm suddenly feeling a lot better with myself and my art.

Every video I see is gold, it let me refresh some things and learns new things every day. So what im trying to say is thanks man!

[@diabolickevin]

Pretty good video, except one thing I have aphantasia, aka I'm not able to have visual memory, it does make being an artist kinda hard, but also makes my approach to art kinda unique, I'm more relying on my muscle memory and drawing feels more like sculpting than well drawing. I thought this would be interesting thing to know, since not lot of people know about aphantasia!

[@diabolickevin]

@@loumona76 it truly sucks, but ive kinda learnt around it by studying references(and how to deconstruct them for my work) and like building my muscle memory

[@MyChemicalLove011]

What I had to teach myself as an intermediate artist is to not compare my work to others, who clearly have spent more time drawing than I have. I don’t know how much work they have put in to get where they’re at. It used to not motivate me but now it makes me realize I have so much more to learn !

[@barbaramajetic3743]

Dear Marc, thank you so much for providing this video. I consider myself an experienced artist, but I found so much new and mind-blowing truths that I have been overlooking for many years. First of all, the eyes! They are so much more that what I used to think, such a powerful tool we have, given by nature! The ability to focus beyond what we actually observe, and to SEE it from a point of real perspective, measuring and classifying. I understood once again that there is more to what I'm seeing. Thank you again so much. Thanks youtube for sponsoring this amazing teacher!

Hey Marc, for someone who's not face-to-face with a classroom in this format, you do an amazing job of keeping it simple, engaging and understandable. I've been painting and drawing since i could hold a pencil (so around.. 34 years now?). But I went ahead and bought a reasonable pen-display (like you said.. there were cheaper ones out there..) and found myself woefully lacking in a lot of areas. (shading and texturing, specifically, though your approach to anatomy is VERY helpful too.) Areas that your videos have been immeasurably helpful in highlighting and now improving on. Thanks for taking the time to spread some passion and knowledge, and raising the bar for someone who "plateu'ed" years ago. You're awsome!

[@vinjass]

I left drawing a few years back because of personal problems, i just didn't feel like drawing anymore, but recently I've been watching these kind of videos and the drawings you make make me wanna draw like that, I've always drawn since i was a kid but I never got to a great level, I might give it a try again but following these steps and knowing that I'll take years to reach a level where i feel good. I've always wanted to reach a similar level to yours, I'll give it a shot, it's never too late to start again.

[@jaynaaa_]

This video was super helpful, thanks a lot for this. I see myself at level 3 and the point where u mentioned that this is where you decide to specialise on specific things is actually something I struggle a lot with. I love to draw and paint so many different things and when I focus on only one thing, I get bored of it super quickly and lose motivation. For example I’ve been painting a lot of portraits lately and received great feedback…but now I’m already so bored of it. Every new idea for a portrait seems super boring to me. So now I’m going back to character designs and I’m already afraid when I’m getting bored of those too. Already thinking about drawing backgrounds again. I’m like jumping around between so many different things and I really don’t know how to properly deal with this. Especially since I’d love to get into the art industry. Tips on how to get out of this loop would be greatly appreciated. c:

[@Elybunny]

YEY! new video😭 Sir Marc's channel is my new addiction now!!

[@swimminginthestars_]

ok but when he said "i dont want to see you cry" i almost teared up ,,

[@robinlinh]

this is true. I used to do "study" like open a picture and just try to copy it line by line. Of course if you do it a lot it still improves your drawing somewhat but not really help much. Then I took an online course for portrait and now I know how to do studies. When you do studies you need knowledge to know what you are trying to find on the refference, not copying it. Like when you do anatomy studies, try to see where is pecs, tricept, bicept.... and reconstruct it from the refference, which mean to have to learn anatomy first and then do study of it.

[@Tech-bagmash24]

I've been telling my art friends to try meditation at least 5 mins before every session but they think its too much work and they hate silence😑. Vipssana meditation aka body awareness or insight meditation has made my art journey as a returning artist far better and manageable thus far this year after a 10 day silence course ( highly recommend it for artist😇). Marc your an artist who finally understands that a mindfulness practice can get your art to a different level and how the power of present and observation ( in life and art) can make an overall better artist🤗.

Nivel 1: observa Nivel 2: aprende los fundamentos y la teoría Nivel 3: especialízate en alguna materia para hacer tu arte. Nunca dejes de lado las referencias, y trata de hacer las cosas de memoria, confía en tu memoria 🙂

@@Maarv_Robb mas que simplemente observar, se trata de aprender a observar mejor, analizar de mejor manera y ser capaz de ver las figuras de las cosas de forma que seas capaz de visualizar las figuras en el cuerpo humano (si estas estudiando anatomia o dibujas personajes)

@@indigo3032 buen punto, es la distinción que Marc hace en este mismo video respecto a mirar (see or watch) y observar (observe)

@@Maarv_Robb de igual forma, me sorprende ver que hay un comentario en español en la comunidad de marc, osea estaba claro que no era el unico bilingue que lo veía pero me alegra estar 100% seguro de ello

finally, some good fucking video

Asking for a like and sub as payment for your lesson is kind of genius, i don’t normally care if people beg for likes but I feel bad not liking the video after you say that 😭

My biggest mistake in art has been winging absolutely everything without looking at an actual reference and expecting myself to improve. Somehow I have improved despite doing this, but trying to think about what things look like from different angles and perspectives is really mentally taxing, and there’s a ton of unnecessary gaps in my understanding of anatomy. The times I remember improving the most was when I wasn’t drawing but observing real life or other people’s art. Most of my skill is being able to work with color well, painting and drawing techniques (like crosshatching or inking) and being good at the motor skills part of drawing, like precise line art, but now it’s time to really expand my visual library.

as somebody who was working for blizzard and in this video also show your approach at female anatomy, maybe you can tell me why in the industry theres this bias towards completely unrealistic and downright unhealthy posture of women, especially their backs? for example widowmaker in overwatch or your drawing in this video? is it really that boring to draw females with vaguely realistic bodies instead of those oversexualized nightmares fuels? im not saying make em ugly on purpose, but just dont pretend like those proportions or postures are normal or even sexy. it depends on the art style ofc. not every artstyles bodies need to be super realistic.
