I'm so glad people like you exist. I'm too poor to afford paid courses, so every bit of help I could get for free is hugely appreciated. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, kind sir.
if everybody treat this as weeks instead of days, it becomes really more realistic, it is possible to learn like that
The best art teacher on YouTube so far!
Tbh Marc was on to something when he made this syllabus. The way it is structured, I am seeing huge results already and I’m now on day 5. I saw a supercharge in the way I draw arms between days 3-4. I think most of the improvement came after studying Marc’s figures for my artist studies. I learned how to simplify certain portions of the arms into simple lines, and I grew to appreciate how subtly he illustrated the muscles in the forearm. Marc, please do more 7 day challenges like these!! These feel more manageable and I’m less likely to abort these unlike the 1 year or 1 month challenges haha.😅
5:19 I’m on day 3 and I really struggled with tracing the jacked models. It just felt like I was randomly placing the lines. Finding that free detailed 3d model on anatomy for sculpture’s website really helped a lot with at least familiarizing myself with the muscles, origin and placement before trying to apply that agin to the models
6:38 I’m on day 4 now and I’m definitely studying Marc’s arms. Idk a lot of other professional artists and furthermore, I really love how Marc simplified the muscles yet conveys them very well
I am literally just about to relearn anatomy again, as I was getting a bit rusty. This is INCREDIBLY helpful. I hope you realise how invaluable these videos, even for professional artists. Keep it going Marc.
I personally found Michel Lauricella's "Morpho" books on anatomy a great companion to Marc's videos on anatomy. There's a big book that compiles a lot of content for a cheaper price, but I highly recommend buying the smaller books. They're barely 100 pages each, pretty cheap, and pocket-sized, but most importantly, they are binded so that almost every page can lay flat open on your desk without you having to hold it open. This leaves your hands free to copy the illustrations in the books, which is what you'd be buying these books to do. To start off, I recommend just two of them: "Skeleton and bone reference points" and "Joint forms and muscular functions". These two books will cover just about everything you need to learn and practice basic anatomy. Learning how the bones connect and bend, as well as which bones are visible from the skin is great for helping you structure your character. Learning where the muscles connect to the bone, as well as how they change shape as they bend and twist will then give you the tools to shape your bodies accordingly. There are other books on the series, including ones on muscular bodies, hands and feet, animal anatomy, clothing, etc., but those first two recommendations will give you an idea of whether you like learning this way.
So funny story. I'm on 6 months into the art program, focused mostly on character art. I had someone so impressed with my character drawing progress they offered me a job with them to make architectural floor plans look nice. They design it, I make it look nice. At first I was going "uhhh I show you characters but okay?" And in the "interview" he and his partner went "dude if you can draw all that. This is gonna be nothing." Lolz. So far can confirm it feels so easy
I’ve been focusing this year on self improvement and character building. A hobby I love so much has become a means to just earn money, and though I still love it, viewing my art that way has turned me inspired and limited. I can’t wait to begin this! I have finals next week and then summer break begins for me, but I’m definitely going to use this as a planner
One day I'm going to be really good at art and teach as well. It's my dream to give back and you're definitely one of my idols for this. Thanks for the class Marc!!
Especially as someone who's on the Spectrum and not in art school-- this structured approach to learning will be a big help. My drawing skills are roughly intermediate at this point (I've been drawing people/characters for 10 years now), but my scatterbrained approach to learning has held me back from being an advanced artist.
I appreciate all you do, i also learned how to draw muscle anatomy from sun ken rock/ dr stone mangaka boichi .the cross hatching muscles he does is also super fun to do, time consuming but it just adds to your practice of making lines lol keep up the work guys
These learn X in Y time videos are extremely helpful, please do more of these!
This seems like a good one to jump back into. I've been ill for the last few weeks, but I'm feeling better now. Need to work out the rust. Also a piece of advice for anyone doing studies, remember the purpose of your study is to learn, not make beautiful art. Don't get discouraged if your studies aren't perfect or end up messy or look bad, mistakes or errors are good things in this context as they give you more things to check, more questions to ask etc. Your goal is to increase your understanding so you can improve your art. That isn't to say that studies can't look good, only that you shouldn't worry too much if it doesn't.
I love this guy's sense of humour. It's so much more interesting when someone knows how to deliver material in an engaging way.
I showed some sketches to my family yesterday and they were impressed, I'm really far to be done, but so far it's all thanks to you teach :) hopefully I'll be able to joing your art program soon
Just in time, I'm on a art learning marathon rn so i need every little help i can get. Just got your entire Art School course earlier thie week and i have two Coloso courses too. I got a lot to cover and a lot to practice. :)
I use your channel to learn to draw and practice my English, 2x1 thank you teacher. :glasses-purple-yellow-diamond:
