Killer combo of massive knowledge and great teaching with zero ego and meaningless showing off. There are very few artists on youtube like this. Salute.

@@noxanneballadynasowacka6125 please! i need to know what happened!

[@en2456]

​@@AntMG6819I think they're just saying marc is also good. Although I think point for point, Marco might actually be the best. He's the only one that's made things click in my mind understanding these complex ideas. Others just take for granted their already very experienced eye and that shows in their teaching.

[@FuschelChan]

We'll start this with: I'm not that bad at drawing hands. I thought this wouldn't be as good as it was hyped up on tumblr. It is. I didn't even do the grids. The IDEA of the grids and the explanations fucking boosted my hand drawing into orbit. I can do foreshortening now. If you want to learn how to draw hands. Try this. TRY IT. YOU WILL GET BETTER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS IS A GAMECHANGER.

[@renfielddeservedbetter]

So many of us came from tumblr lol

[@FuschelChan]

@@renfielddeservedbetter hell send us here with the words 'ur hands suck, get better lol' hahah

[@ListlessOne]

I've divided each chapter into a different day and the progress I made is unbelievable. I'm truly shocked by the results. This video has single-handedly helped me clear my confusion about drawing hands. Thank you very much, Marco, for this incredible tutorial! 🙏💕

[@Lola_in_the_Black]

Even in subjects I went through multiple times and using multiple sources, you always manage to find and point out something really useful that wasn't mentioned anywhere

[@sael5084]

What have you learned if mind sharing? ❤❤

[@Lola_in_the_Black]

@@sael5084 For example the steps going from boxes to more complicated forms. We usually get boxes, then some boxes added to them and suddenly complicated anatomical structures and it's hard to move there and keep any flow. The way Marco explains it we can learn to draw gestures, keep the flow and then add details, like here by twisting the simple surface that is easy to sketch. This was the missing puzzle I needed :)

[@sael5084]

@@Lola_in_the_Black I see good thing you figured it out . I need to aswell it's why I've been reading Michael Hampton book on figure drawing which is really good and pressure covering gesture skeleton landmarks anatomy etc. Hopefully we can reach our goals with enough studying :)

[@Lola_in_the_Black]

@@sael5084 Unfortunately his book never worked for me :/ I hope it will work for you :) Good luck! :)

[@sael5084]

@@Lola_in_the_Black sorry for that im surprised it didn't. Was there something wrong in it? Want to make sure im not doing something wrong :(

[@wheatart4274]

My favourite takeaway was the three bends on the inside and the half-finger on the back. That just clicked a lot of things into place for me, thanks!

[@elfi643]

14:03 for me the mastervof hands is kohei horikoshi. His ability to draw hands and the fact that he really loves it is just insane to me

You are a pioneer for teaching art way exceeding most art schools could even offer, thank you Marco.

[@Art-4-Yeshua777]

Hands used to be so hard to draw, but now it’s a lot easier to draw them. Thxs sir.

[@momo-xh3bm]

The chapter one is a life-saver! ❤❤❤Thank you for joining “flow, rythme “ lessons together with the Level 2 Boxy drawing. Usually youtuber just teach one of those. No wonder why always feeling something is missing

Marco's observation skills will never stop to amaze me thank you for the video!

[@jimmydragonstudios]

Wow, that video was a gold mine if info! Thank you much! For years I have struggled with the hands in my drawings. I've watched videos on this and some paid videos but not one was able to explain the construction as clearly as you did in this video.

[@matthewscreates]

I really appreciate what you're doing here. The breakdown of what exercises to start with really helps visualize each future step. Thank you for all the work you put into these great videos and lessons!

[@cuentaeliminada7176]

This video is absolutely amazing, it's almost like most other hand tutorials on youtube assume you're starting from an advanced position, I love how this one builds up from the simplest way to look at it, thank you.

This comes in very handy

[@lydiakirsankina8541]

Thank you very much for part 2! I've been struggling with the hands presently and get to the channel to re-watch part 1 and there is the gift of fate (or better to say the gift of Marco?). Very useful tutorial, I've learned a lot and now have to practice :)

[@macofish1]

I've been watching guys like yourself and Mark Behm and tons of others, for a while. Actually I remember getting a DS not for the games, well maybe some, but your blog on painting on one got me to get one, then the touch came out and now I'm using sketchbook which is a dream come true for portable painting. Just wanted to say hey and tell you that you are a true inspiration, you always seem really genuinely excited and eager to share and teach and cultivate knowledge. I read something the other day that went something like knowing that you don't know opens up a world of the ability to learn knew things. While I love that idea, it doesn't work without mentors, (whether directly or indirectly), like yourself and your fellow colleagues. We're standing on the shoulders of giants. Great stuff; can't wait to watch the video! All the best! Marc.

way i go about drawing anything is thinking to myself " everyone can do this, this is easy" and i simply don't overthink anything and approach it with the expectation that i can do it & what do you know, i always can!
