Painting Photo Studies TIPS - and I use Clip Studio Paint

[@Hugo-rq3fi]

Outlining what is it that you want to study before jumping into the drawing was a smart move. You describe your process in a very logical way, making it easy for us to understand your artistic choices. I simply can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge.

[@Mixthelightintogray]

Totally agree with you. Very simple but usefull advice

[@oof7882]

I've been using clip studio paint ever since i started digital art and it's my favorite software! it's definitely worth it's one time payment

[@SamReevesWrites]

I kissed Adobe goodbye last year, and now am totally in love with CSP. Thank you for posting this video. Furthermore, this video is overflowing with innovative lessons. The gravity well thing and the Approximate Color tab--those are brilliant!

[@CatPawns]

same i was using a old cs5 photoshop but clip studio performs better.

[@0x3nt3]

I have both CSP and Photoshop CS6... Gotta say that I’m slowly falling out of love with Photoshop... CSP is such a complete program while Photoshop freezes for no reason at all...

[@CarlosFerreira-kaiko]

@@0x3nt3 Take it out of the fridge then

[@rdl8443]

try paintstorm thats very neat too

[@Mr.McWatson]

Whats the upside to clip vs procreate and artrage? I haven't gotten any yet

[@sallines1787]

4:40 DAMN that tip is life-changing information so useful!

[@SylvesterLazarus]

I still remember the moment when I found it out for the first time by myself. I was mixing sky blue with light skin color and wondered how on earth it becomes gray instead of green. I thought it was a bug in the software. Later, I found Master Marco's channel and everything started making sense.

[@jatt9448]

Hi Marco, I just wanted to say that I'm very grateful with your channel. I've been applying a few things learned from your videos and my artwork has improved considerably. You are such a great teacher!

[@marcobucci]

Glad to hear it, and thanks!

[@tripplejaz]

The Clip Studio bug bites another. Good.

[@sergio.tellez]

Marco, you should try Krita as well. It's the best, I love it. The castle was amazing!

[@buttbuttyawn3280]

I second this. It's also entirely free!

[@Nina-cd2eh]

@Eriko. Oy Also, Krita isn't just free, it's open source software, and that makes it 100 times better!

[@charismartin1169]

The color wheel explanation changed my LIFE. I finally understand how to fade color correctly

[@chippyscribbles]

Focused photo studies are a great idea! Often times when I do studies it feels aimless, or like im trying to get too much from it at one time. Having a list of things I want to get from it seems like a great way to study more efficiently. Will try this out!

[@AxiologyStudios]

WOOOOOOOOO MARCOOOOO!! You're legitimately the best teacher! Your explanations are like the brightest lights piercing through the fog~

[@honoka7917]

tHANK YOU MARCO, i needed this for my studying you helped me so much

[@matthewf.3491]

DEFINITELY taking note of the Grey Gravity Well! It's so memorable and such an amazing helpful trick

[@vipulgupta3517]

Adobe losing monopoly and industry standard? NICE.

[@marshmellomeat]

It’s awesome, it’ll force them into competitive pricing.

[@Bangy]

Photoshop is garbage on IOS

[@jaigrant-williams7736]

Lol I pay $17/month for all the whole suite

[@SleepyVampArt]

wacom too :D

[@ChandrewsArt]

@@jaigrant-williams7736 I paid $20 on a CSP sale to have it for life.

[@phillipjerometome9661]

Thanks, I've been trying to find in youtube which color to actually pick as the object goes further away from the viewer, I finally understood how.

[@AndreasWilfer]

Thank you Marco. This is something I've been needing for quite a while, something motivating and inspiring. It's usually not hard to know that one needs to practice, the hard part is what and how to practice... Thanks again.

[@WorldisArt]

I SWEAR you are the most useful instructor on illustration ever. Thank you for sharing so much insight with us!

[@luminousghosts]

Thank you for this, I've been wanting to do photo studies for a long time now but felt too overwhelmed by the challenge. Your focus on capturing rougher, overall effects might actually get me to do some! :)

[@lolabee8518]

Just downloaded Clip Studio Paint Pro when I bought my Wacom Intuos. Learnt so much in one 13 minute video. Thank you

[@108Romato]

Thank you for this video. I just bought your super digital art bundle (painting package + head + 3D to paint) and I am very excited about the whole thing. Now I am even more excited that you are now experimenting with and demonstrating Clip Studio Paint, because I don't have Photoshop (and never will). Instead, I bought CSP a few months ago. I had been using Affinity Photo and Procreate, which are intuitive programs (I am no techie). But although I recognize that CSP has a lot more to offer, I find it difficult to navigate. But I do want to learn it. So I hope that you will continue to give us demo CSP, and even, some kind of longer workshops where you would parallel PS and CSP --not cons and pros -- but just to help those of us using CSP to more effectively learn from the purchased tutorials in which you use PS. Many thanks.

[@Fieshs]

seriously, I've watched so many painting tutorials and tried so many different things, but your approach and your explanations are often new for me and SO helpful! the insight sounds so simple and plausible, but nobody is ever mentioning it.

[@derekmoore1387]

Again, you crush it by showing us an organized workflow for learning. It's not just what to learn, but how to effectively study. The diagrams you have to communicate atmospheric perspective are really succinct and potent. Many of your videos are nutritionally-dense, so thank you. I hope you realize what a help you are to people. Also, anyone reading this, buying his digital painting suite was worth it.

[@shadowgirlof11]

My bestie bought me EX a few months ago and I just LOVE it-this program is a godsend I swear. Adobe definitely has some competition

[@ziinx5899]

Would love to see more content on Clip Studio Art. Its a great software.

[@Mr.McWatson]

The castle in the third painting is Burg Elz in Germany. Highly recommend visiting, it's a very unique castle.

[@RagdollRocket]

seeing the grey spot in the middle (color wheel) as a gravitational influence to colors is phenomenal! Thanks.

[@jackspring7709]

I've been using Photoshop for 25 years: I bought Clip Studio PaintEX last year and its an amazing package - its blend tool far outshines Photoshop and it's sketching and line work tools are in a class of their own. I still do most of my work in Photoshop but I'm going to start using Clip a lot more in the coming year.

[@charlesdeaton839]

Gray gravity well- awesome description and it makes so much sense- thanks!

[@MathiasJ89]

These small studies are so fun. Appreciate your graphics and animations to explain concepts in such depth btw!

[@villalba874]

I don't always feel inspired to paint, but when I do I watch a Marco Bucci video.

[@lalajean452]

Gonna try Clip studio very soon and thankyou for inspiring me . Now i will really go for what i love even tho it seems impossible .😃😁😁 This video helps me a lot , how to study landscape and improve my painting skills . Huge Thankyou

[@jmarcojm1343]

Brutal! So full of valuable tips (as usual)! Million thanks for your tips/tuts videos!

[@toastybread9996]

one of my favorite tips and tricks video... i've been really into drawing landscape or some cityscape art, but really, I didn't know how to start of... whether I do painting, watercolor, or cel shading or a very just hard way to do landscapes... but then I think this way of coloring(or painting) in this video really got me into painting alot ... really fun just to mess around any colors trying to get the right color from a reference or something to copy...really fun... might as well try it traditonally...

[@Andresvideo]

Damn you! I could watch these videos all day! :D they are GREAT, thanks for sharing all of this.

[@dalengale6191]

This was what i've been looking for! who knew one could be this informative in under 15 minutes Thank you so much!

[@literassketchbook7756]

Really good video, FINALLY there´s artist that don´t LITERALLY copy photo!

[@minerliton2481]

you are amazing at this and it feels like i understand everything but i get mesmerized by your paintings so i cant learn anything

[@missysanchezlee919]

WOW. @Marco, this video was SO incredibly educational. As someone who struggles with copying when I’m trying to practice and ‘study’, I never know the right way to get the most out of my time trying to practice. In this quick 13 minute video I was able to learn more efficient ways for doing photo studies AS WELL as another lesson in Values. I feel informed and empowered and like I’m no longer practicing in a dark hole with no guidance as to if I’m making progress or getting anything out of my efforts. THANK YOU! You continue to be such an amazing teacher. Please do let us know know when you’re ready to do 1-1 mentorships!

[@wildgrem]

I havent tried it out yet but your gravity well analogy makes a ton of sense and i can definitely see it helping me with my atmospheric perspective... thanks!

[@_hanz73]

I really love the way you paint something, it's so cool how you made something from a simple shapes to a full blown buildings. Oh and the colours is just gorgeous!

[@yirafiel348]

holy moly i can't believe I went all the way through this before scrolling down and recognizing the name your tutorials are very effective at conveying good info clearly and concisely, thank you for making them

[@tamikolieangel2041]

I used to don't know what to study from picture bed now your video help me figure out thank you

[@eagletown8977]

Unreal skills. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@queldar27]

Thanks, Marco. I've been doing alot of photo studies lately (mostly portraits) and I struggle with making too much of a copy versus a more artistic expression. It's a really good tip to set goals ahead of time. Great video as always!

[@tender0828]

I did not expect to walk away learning about the gravity well and painting fog thanks so much Marco!

[@oompalumpus5087]

I like photoshop, I'm not going to lie about that, but I've been using clip studio for about a year now and I'm genuinely enjoying it. It's a really great alternative for those who can't afford the crazy PS price tag. And even for those who can. And of course, the tips on photo studies were very helpful! Ty!

[@mygetawayart]

i will try to put those tips to work but you make it seem really easy to not get lost in details and just paint everything and knowing what you have to capture is not always easy or obvious.

[@Lmaxter500]

100% agree with painting small. Great for practice.

[@erichvonhasseln8486]

I really loved your discussion of color receding into space, well done!

[@aprilblenk]

This could not have come at a better time!! My sister came over for a drawing session and we’re both gonna focus on studying photos today! Thank you so much!!!

[@hmm7774]

This explanation of the fog's behavior in the last image was brilliant. Helped me a lot

[@DrawStuffWhatever]

I love Clip Studio Paint. It's the first software I started drawing digitally because I search for the best software to use and a better alternative to PS and this was recommended as well as other artists were praising it at the time, around 4 to 5 years ago. Never changed since.

[@fxguidetips]

Marco you are one of the finest teacher on KZbin!

[@schrodingerskatze6192]

Thank you so much , I'll try this paint small technique when I get my new pen tablet on my birthday

[@ahaks7269]

Strange, I use Clip Studio mainly for paintings that involve a lot of line art and Krita for art with a lot of brushwork. I guess I should start playing around with my software some more. Thanks again, Marco!

[@jayeshbareja5277]

Your videos are very easy to understand. Keep them coming

THANK YOU THANK YOUTHANK YOU I've been struggling with saturation and depth so much lately and your little color wheel explanation made me go 'AH HA'!! Nobody explains colors like you do, truly! =)

i missed the last sale on clip studio by an hour and it made me so sad

[@ola6362]

they may do another one this summer or fall, but theyll deffo have a black friday sale! dont be sad

[@leonardobagas509]

same i missed it, i forgot to buy it on the last day, I hope there will be another sale soon :(

[@chilairearts4238]

Try Krita. They just released a massive update (krita 3.0) that makes them arguably a better painting software. I use both, but I always end up going back to Krita. It's free

[@RakugakiRebel]

@@chilairearts4238 Krita was my first program then switch to Clip Studio. What is Krita like now (and how does it compare to Clip)? :o

[@aaRept]

@@chilairearts4238 Same here. Bought Clip Studio Paint and after a while I went back to Krita.

[@RuffusTJ]

Mind blowing, man!!

[@GeekyNinjaKitty]

I started with manga studio 4 debut which drove me crazy cause I don't think it even had a color picker. However, the rest of the program felt amazing, so I took a gamble and purchased manga studio 5. A few years later I found out I could upgrade to clip studio paint for free and it's truly amazing to have all these updates after a one time fee. I just wish they had an update to their filters. The only things I really miss in photoshop would be liquify and the offset filter. I find them both very helpful, especially the offset for tiling game textures.

I prefer ArtRage 6 for how easy it is to use, but God, it's always amazing how complete Clip Studio Paint is, so many tools and features, I love doing my final details in it

[@Mikosha97]

There's actually another color tab that's even more useful! The one that shows middle colors between main four! You can add the sky color and the base color of illuminated things and get all the tones in-between including they grey area you talk about 💪

[@JuneTreeDraws]

I’d absolutely love more CSP videos!!!

[@dragonfaiyah]

i still find photoshop more useful for some of its utilities, but i wish we could just port some of its features to csp because CSP's brush engine and smoothness just make digital painting so much more easy and fun. never thought about that "Gravity well" thing, really put it in a easier-to-understand manner i think i'll remember a lot easier when i paint. learned a lot in these short 13 minutes, thank you so much for this!

[@milkbox103]

I’m inspired. I have an iPad Pro and I use procreate for my paintings for many years but I could try CSP on iPad for those photo studies Amazing video macro.
