Yassss! I always try to explain the importance of shape design, but this video does a far better job at breaking it down than I ever could. Very nicely done! Great teaching method.

[@marcobucci]

Thanks Sinix! I'm a big fan of your videos/watching you paint as well.

[@II00I00]

this applies nicely when drawing like a painter

[@seagrid888]

or painting like a sculptor

[@tacticslc4805]

or sculpting like a surgeon.... wait what?

[@benjaminbanh9955]

hi sinix

[@viviondioline]

I've never seen a tutorial by you that didn't change the way I look at art. Every video is another watershed moment for me. You make things so easy to understand and apply, and your service to the art community is huge. IDK how many viewers you have, or supporters in general, but I gotta let you know that for the last half-decade, your videos have inspired me, and helped me grow as an artist. We don't even have the same style, but you have a way of breaking down universal concepts about art, and you do it so well.. Marco, dude, I don't know how you do it, but please keep doing it. Your work has weirdly made such an impact on my hobby that I just gotta say something. I'm a grown-ass man and you're seriously one of my heroes

[@marcobucci]

Bernard wow, thanks for that, Bernard! It's humbling to know that there are viewers out there who are benefitting from the lessons. And having repeat-viewers is something I never really considered would even happen when I first began this channel. I really enjoy putting the lessons together, and your encouragement only amplifies that :). Thanks again and all the best!

[@hideentity1518]

this is an academy lesson, no joke. well done explenation for every one who want to learn and improve his skills as artist.

[@essenceofherbal4125]

I love art academy 😃

[@MrBaumTV]

"I think what lies at the heart of painting is a desire to return to childhood and maybe with some of the life experience we gain as adults. And, if you ask me, it is quite a profound and beautiful thing to strive for." What a beautiful quote!

[@mmariankaa]

"It's about turning shapes into less, so together they can communicate more!" This line struck my like a lighting. You make so much sense in such a short amount of time 😭 thank you!

[@cozyspacebear]

you are literally changing my life with these videos. i've never understand digital painting better until now

[@MattiasPilhede]

This was a great video, and I can tell a lot of work went into this. Great job!

[@cavemann_]

Well hello there!

[@notaninstrument7707]

Oh hey it’s Mattias Pilhede

[@MrAnritco]

Oh buddy, this is absolutely gorgeous! A friendly reminder about how much we should keep an eye onto our shapes and keep the canvas clean. Amazing way to show the video as well, kept my attention the whole time and made me laugh as well, something never happens with heavy courses and art theory videos. Great job!

[@marcobucci]

Thanks a lot!

[@alexdromero13]

These videos are so high quality and they keep your attention really well! Can't say any other art tutorial videos out there are doing this right now. Great job man!

[@St-Elsewhere]

You know it's a good day when a new Macro video comes out. You're an inspiration my dude

[@marcobucci]

Haha, thanks a lot!

[@nunu7797]

You are the best painting teacher on youtube, absolutely no question about it. It really shows, the work that you put in these videos. It really shows how beautiful the art of painting is. Thank you for these videos

[@marcobucci]

[@lemetaphysicien9556]

I can't believe I learned so much in 10 minutes! wow

[@msDanielp369]

That smiley face blended snazzily with the parenthesis, now THAT is art

[@rogal2631]

[@danol5749]

This video came out 6 years ago and here I am with my jaw to the floor, learning more from these short videos than I could ever learn from art classes in school

[@Jakoshi]

Love this video Marco. Thanks so much for this series.

[@dear_totheheart]

The investigative reporting was my favorite part! This series is so wonderful and useful

[@armarat7419]

These videos are so much better than we deserve. Thanks, my dude!

[@thewarspawnchannel6760]

Love your delivery

[@misterPloms]

MIND BLOWN , never seen how to simplify it this way

[@RosemaryWilliams49fruits]

Thank you, this was super helpful. I really love this series of yours, each episode is so short yet so full of information they are all worth watching multiple times.

[@chrisbrooks790]

I really love this series. I'm learning a lot about "basics" that aren't necessarily so basic, but you're breaking it all down in a very clear and accessible way. I rely heavily on tutorials like this for my art education, and I really appreciate what you do here.

[@marcobucci]

Glad you're enjoying the videos. The "basics" are easy to understand, but hard to apply consistently. All the best!

[@NitishShiggaon]

The quality in your videos is unmatched! Thanks!

[@lucasmariano9577]

You're such a good teacher! thank you

[@WillJBailey]

[@Mickey-bo6cv]

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for all of your wonderful videos. Thank you so much, sir!!!

[@gregorycomey3281]

Best video on this subject I've seen.

[@Joxus]

This is possibly one of the most helpful art videos I've watched 👌👌👌

[@AllanEngelhardt0]

This is a great series. Thank you!

[@aaronh560]

These episodes have been essential to filling in a lack of knowledge by lectures at my university. Many Thanks to you. I personally owe you one

[@freyaartz4683]

I have learned SOOOO MUCH from your videos!!!!! I love your teaching style! It makes everything so easy to understand, remember, and apply!

[@rosie_art3843]

I'm now a big fan of your way of teaching. It is just super easy to follow and understand. Thanks a lot for hard work

[@francislim5684]

You are truly a blessing in every artist! Thank you teacher!

[@anzatzi]

Great video, great series! Learning so much.

[@TheCaspairaAcula]

Such a great breakdown of beginning concepts in art. Thank you!

[@giraffe1219]

Honestly I learned some of this doing my makeup. Everyone stresses the importance of blending, which it is important, but nobody clarifies that they don’t mean to blend into oblivion - sometimes having a discernible shape is important. Like, /this/ is where your eyelid stops being black. That was the color I had the most issue with.

[@rozemynemetherlence1840]

That closing thoughts made me cry. Thanks for your hard work

[@adeinstein]

All your videos are great. Thank you.

[@helgahaghenbeckemde6187]

Years of drawing, design, studying and this was what I was missing about the quality of what I do, what I always keep missing in my work. Better now than never, thanks so much for this video.

[@TheDoomSniper]

hands down one of the best guides ive found. you hit the fundamentals haard I like that

[@rtwilson145]

What a fantastic video. Super helpful thank you!

[@jasonart3276]

the best tutorial absolutely

[@Lupus-Draconis]

I've always been very attracted to art that did this sort of internal simplification and deliberacy of color and light, and I knew it was somehow simpler than what I was doing with my own art, but I could never quite put my finger on what they were doing. This is exactly what I needed and exactly what I've been missing. Thank you so much

[@bluewren65]

Just so brilliantly executed! Love your work.

[@Artofmira]

is INSANE how good this series are. I always come back to re watch the lessons to practice painting, this and your color survival guide are my favorites!

[@jayarnbert6137]

You changed my life. Thanks!!!

[@chloeharrand7740]

Thank you ! You're a very good teacher !

[@wltwt]

These videos are amazing.

[@diegogamba7825]

Beautiful lesson

[@Angusss]

What a great lesson!

[@btCharlie_]

Just a point here - if you struggle with seeing shapes in paintings, try applying a strong median filter on it. The shapes then pop up nicely, though sometimes I'd advice to convert to grey levels first. Now that I think about it, there may be an even better, clearer way - have the image in a programthat can binarize the image into black and white and adjust the threshold slider. The shapes in the painting should be basically bare in front of you.

[@dianabloom3937]

This was such a great video!! I love all of your 10 minute videos, and this one was so helpful. In school they tell you to consider the shapes that make up an object, and I always thought they meant the silhouette. This helps so much in considering what actually makes up an object you're trying to paint. Thank-you!

[@sharthompson8481]

I've been looking for this exact lesson!! Thank you so much!

[@amnonkotler]

Thank you for your great tutorials!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!

[@michaelharris1843]

Loved the little film noir in the middle

[@caroltaylor5861]

This is a great lesson because of how not condescending it is! it feels very natural and good. You're a great teacher, and these tips are much appreciated!

[@nataliasanzarteta5600]

Love the reference to Layers of fear!! XD Thank you for putting so much care to your videos, they are always super fan, which make it easier to remember, and very insightful

[@ErikaLancasterArt]

This video is amazing. Thank you so much! Sharing it for sure!

[@marcolivorno9881]

[@TheDreadfulCurtain]

Some really good teaching and visual examples working in combination to make this video extra brilliant and helpful thank you.

[@Dude707LoL]

I love love your videos, so much insight! You break down the different aspects that go into making a good painting so comprehensively and analytically. It really helped me approach painting in a more systematic way since now I know what to look for. Thanks so much :D

Nice video man!! Loved your conclusion!!
