Painting the Head from Imagination - Lighting without Reference with Marco Bucci

[@ProkoTV]

Thanks Marco! If you guys enjoyed this lesson, check out his KZbin channel - kzbin.info

[@skeplleskeplle5592]

Hello Proko I just wanted to ask is any amount of imagination included in your art works and do you think we should connect to our art or separate from it?

[@umario992]

@@skeplleskeplle5592 I think this question was answered in one of the latest Draftsmen podcasts (which is run by Stan and Marshall Vandruff).

[@riffraff3467]

Whos this marco u are talking about. i only saw proko in this video

[@eirvingdiaz7185]

cool tips!

[@EnzoDraws]

Hi Stan! I took the time to translate the subtitles to Spanish for some friends because I really want them to see this video, as I consider it extremely informative and condenses a lot of knowledge that could be valuable to them. Is there any estime as to how long the subtitle review process would take? I have uploaded the subs for both Spanish (uploaded them a few weeks ago, actually) and Latinamerican Spanish and I'm waiting for them to go live

[@marcobucci]

Thanks for having me, Stan! I will now frame that Proko shirt before the duct tape peels off.

Man love both of your videos! So educative!

Proko featuring Marco? My life is complete

[@joebotarsenault8538]

Right???? Two KZbin art titans join forces is frickin amazing!!!

[@sauviel6296]

Marco???

[@lainasketches6711]

SAME!!!

[@Kain-wk6xk]

Yes this. Exactly this feeling.

[@joshemperor]

lol couldn't agree more

[@nat2206]

I was subscribed to both before this video. This colab is like the avengers of art youtubers.

[@omtender7309]

Nat I know you

[@lainasketches6711]

TRUUUUE!!

[@NatsukeShift]

I've been suffering from not understanding the planes of the face and how to paint them properly for these past couple of months. I've watched and read a lot of things, but honestly, i needed an explanation that was more simplistic and, most importantly, more visual. Things like anatomy tend to drive way too far into my head in terms of detail, and I get lost in knowing where to even begin. It was daunting and, most times, frustrating. This was the first video in months were I honestly felt like I "get it." I'm not sure how to describe it, but it just made sense in a language where I finally understood the information that was being given. So thank you, honestly. This was exactly what I needed, and it now exposed me to an artist I want to know even more about.

[@albericponcedeleon2696]

Marco is an absolute gem! He's really good at explaining the thought-process behind painting, lighting and form.

[@rachelhartjes313]

My thoughts exactly!! The epiphany I had while watching this video has made me so excited. Same as you I've done so much reading and watching, really trying to understand the planes of the face and just exactly how to shade that...dependent on whatever light source. I already know that this video will have been endlessly helpful! I'm now feel confident that with this knowledge (that's finally compute in my head), I'll now be able to move my artwork into that next level. I can't wait to draw now! Lol. Really implementing what I learned and finally understand about the planes of the face and just exactly how it determines the light and shadow. Its midnight and I gotta get up in the morning. So, question is...do I pull my sketchbook out anyways, I'm inspired...its worth it? Or should I get my ass to bed and think about till i fall asleep... and then sometime later rewatch the video, and bring it out then? Lol. I guess I'll be an adult. Turning 30 this month. So I can't pretend I'm not one anymore lol. So I'll go to bed. I couldn't agree more with what you said though. It's like trying to understand the same sentence in a million different languages you didn't understand...then finally...AH HA!! lol. 👩‍🎨🙌

[@rachelhartjes313]

@Taco thanks girl!! I know that tip wasn't necessarily meant for me...but i appreciate that reminder! I now know what im going to focus on. I really hope this channel has videos on both of those things...because he teaches in a way in which I understand. More than anyone else...and I watch ridiculous amounts of art channels. For a ridiculous amount of time more often than not. Lol.

[@justice8718]

I honestly feel like the issue is the artist are running on vague ass forms for the cheeks that it honestly messes up the faces in the long run.

[@ZyULuil]

My 2 most acknowledged art masters finally collaborated. YES!!!

[@klulesspixels6072]

Marco has a GREAT series called "10 mins to better painting" that made my paintings get SO much better

[@atmosnami3973]

This is the most perfect video ever Proko ✔️ Marco Bucci✔️ Perfect video leght ✔️ Values✔️ "From imagination"✔️

[@MrElliotholman]

This guy is an insanely good teacher, engaging, clear and concise.

[@Was_los_Bruda]

I like how the sketch looks happy and the painting is about to cry.

Bucci is such a good teacher. If he made a 2 hour lecture on filing taxes in the US, i could probably get through it even though it's in no way relevant to me.

[@a-carvalho8751]

I'm a simple man. I see Marco, I click like.

[@user-gs2mh5hj9x]

That's DARLING IN YHE FRANXX REFERENCE!!!!!!

[@heavendenies8881]

I was amazed at 10:45 when he started painting six heads at once!

[@Cederlof_Ink]

I've always found shading and light tricky, but man this breakdown was gorgeous. Cheers, Marco!

[@arknark]

Marco really gets the job done for me. I swear if I had a day with that dude I'd be 100x better at rendering.

[@annabelleleeartist]

This is the first video that really got through my thick skull and drove these concepts home. Thank you!

[@fengsammy3645]

To be honest, this is the best Head drawing lesson I have ever had in a long time. It is very simple and actually explain everything you need to know for starting drawing portrait

[@chrisskjrvik4568]

Yes! So happy to see Marco Bucci on Proko's channel!

I bought the premium content of this video when Marco Bucci released it. I love it. It's easy to follow and it teaches a lot for only seven hours.

[@bunnymeercat2351]

This is the best painting tutorial on youtube for someone like me who only ever practiced drawing. Thanks so much!

[@Liliphant_]

It's insane how much i learned in 20 minutes. Wow

[@Moongazer101]

Excellent video Marco, a pleasure to watch and listen to.

[@ThaJeveMaster]

I have to say, I only noticed he made the shirt himself around 12:00 which was a nice touch. Get this man a shirt, Proko!

[@gematria125]

One of the best video of the subject on net...simple, direct, short...God bless you Marco for all future painters..of course thanks to Proko to choose well again and bring this genius on his channel.

[@MysticalSpaceSandwich]

Proko, Marco Bucci and Sinix are such masters in teaching

[@slewp]

I love Marco

[@WhiteXFusion]

what a time to be alive, my favorite teachers in the same channel, nice

[@adroitsky6691]

As a tattoo artist, this video is immeasurably helpful. Your channel is turning me into a needle ninja... I'm gonna turn super saiyan soon and I'm worried I'm not ready to handle the pressure

[@mageKnightz]

I'm such a fan of Bucci's style of teaching. This and his colour harmony 10 min video are one of the best resources to understand light and colors I've ever watched!

[@Madeeha_shinkoko]

And so I found another great artist through marco bucci.

[@agategemcom]

Dear Proko, I'm bit sad, but also happy. I purchased portraits drawing made by you. It's really really good. But too much focused at parts of the head. This video brings me many many more. Because this tells me finally "How to really build" a head. This video is absolutely focused at the most important thing's in building face. There's explained with scull help and asaro head too. So this I have to say is best video at your channel.

[@mateolopez9032]

Marco Bucci it's just amazing, i have been subscribed for his channel for a couple of years and his lessons are incredible.

[@ItachiUchiha-gf4fz]

Marco Bucci is one of my favorite artists! Now it's on my favorite art Channel? This is a dream come true.

[@apaarkhare]

This video has so much information I need to watch it at least 3 times to register all the info in my mind

[@prathavj7111]

best video yet on planes and values i have ever seen

You have no idea how perfeclty timed this video is for me. I have been drawing and learning the planes of the face for the past 3 weeks now. But I was really struggling on how to convey this to actual light and shaow information. Great video! Just what I needed. Thank you so much x

Synchronisaty i needed exactly this! A perfect lesson once again by the Bucci! His premium head course is the very best btw for those wondering

omg this helped me so much , I've been learning about lighting , shadows and values separately for a few months just cause they're the fundamentals and people rec it but didn't know how all those get together and would help me moving forward , this video really helped me visualise and understand all of those stuffs and how all those comes into lay while drawing stuff in general . Thank you so much 😌🤩

@@keepyourshoesathedoor i hate my art school but i love drawing lol

[@av3ngers17]

@@keepyourshoesathedoor these videos are awesome but in art school you can have figure drawing with real models, which is very difficult to find otherwise, and interacting with other artists and seeing their progress and work is also a positive thing, especially for younger artists. Art school can be a good thing when the curriculum has been well developed
