🤫 THE SECRET RULE TO LEARN DRAWING FASTER 

I bought your art school about a month or two ago, and it's seriously awesome. It's super detailed and really easy to follow. It makes learning art a breeze and actually enjoyable 👍

This guy somehow manages to teach me more art-stuff than my teachers

Never before have I found an art channel that I’ve consistently watched almost everyday until I found this guy. I also don’t normally leave likes. Not like I purposely avoid doing it, it’s just that I don’t normally even think about it. But with Brunet’s videos I immediately know that I’m actually going to learn something useful, so I pretty much do it right off the bat, simply because it feels like the least I can do in exchange for the information that I’m about to get. Sometimes I’ll watch the videos even just purely for entertainment, and that’s definitely not something I’d normally do on any other art channel. Brunet here is a legitimately outstanding teacher.

By the time you joined Blizzard you were drawing for more than a decade. Your journey was not exceptional in terms of time, you just happened to know your passion young, that is the secret. I started drawing at 20 so I still have 10+ years to go till I am at your level, though I am more of a comics guy myself.

Finally someone talks about how the "traditional" path is not always the best for you as an artist! For me I want to learn cartoony and doodly art styles, but people have always told me that there is only one way to learn art and that is just complete bullshit.

I'm in an artblock in a down spiral. but this channel will help me slowly recover little by little and discover myself as an artist again and meet the new me. it's crazy how a simple youtube video can change someone's life of course one step at a time :D

It's been 18 mins since this was uploaded and so many people have already thanked you, bro you are TOO good😂

One of the best art teachers on yt! You helped a lot of people improve their art.

Once finals are over, I am gonna start grinding term 2, I’d really like to get better over the summer, with anatomy and heads and stuff

This literally blows my mind and if I'm gonna be honest, this gave me hope that it's not too late for a 34-yr old like me and I can still manage my time and become a better artist in the future!

**The information I got from this video -** **Identify your goal:** Before starting to draw, identify what you want to achieve. This will help you focus on the 20% of efforts that will give you 80% of the results. **Focus on learning anatomy, gesture, and storytelling:** These are essential for character design and will help you achieve great results with very little effort compared to studying everything without a clear goal. **Practice fundamentals:** Practice gesture drawing and anatomy, which can improve skills like shading and lighting. This will help you become more efficient and effective in your practice. **Use the 80/20 rule:** Focus on the 20% of art skills that will give 80% of the results, rather than spreading yourself thin by trying to do everything at once. **Apply the Explorer's path or the Dealer's path:** The Explorer's path involves jumping into a specific task and figuring out how to complete it as you run into roadblocks, while the Dealer's path involves learning skills that can be applied across multiple scenarios. **Practice quality over quantity:** Don't just draw for the sake of drawing. Focus on quality over quantity in your studies. **Be intentional:** Decide to improve at drawing and make a commitment to do it. Schedule time for practice and stick to it. **Look at drawings:** Learn from the work of others. Look at the way they use line and shape, how they shade, and how they tell a story. **Draw simple things around you:** Mastering basic technical aspects in drawing is essential to improving your skillset. Draw simple things around you and learn the basics of drawing.

Wow! I've learned 8020 rule before but never knew it can be used this way! Thank you so much for opening up my mind and teaching us this, Marc! This is undeniable one of the best art channels! (Btw I payed the class fee of 1 like this time as well)

I don't really take art classes or watch many videos but once I see a wonderful drawing I try to copy it exactly so I can sketch from different creators and when I improve I will one day find my style

I have never thought about learning this way, trying to learn multiple skills in art always overwhelms me, and demotivates but I keep forgetting that all it takes is simply focusing on one thing at a time

An actual TEACHER fr fr for the love of god BEAUTIFUL ART i wish my practice reaches one day your lvl of expertise THANK YOU MARC!

holy crap i think this whole video was so life changing, its making me look at learning art a completely different way. thank u so much marc u are an actual angel

“living more with the same time others get” - this is what makes me draw

As an illustration student, I have to say that it makes sense what you mention. I only used to draw characters in the past 13 years when I first started to draw and become an artist. But now that I'm doing my degree in Illustrations, I still want to focus on characters; but I want to expand my knowledge to be able to create full illustrations with beautiful backgrounds and colors. I always enjoy watching your videos and I have learned a lot that helps me improve in my art classes.

when I get a stable income I'm definitely gonna buy your art school program; because I love how you teach art and I definitely need to get better at it-

Ahaa I’ve been feeling a bit slow in my progress recently(which in turn makes me less motivated)since I’ve been sacrificing learning the clothes for a lil more anatomy knowledge but I think learning some simple clothes can really make drawing figures and studying much easier and more fun! Finally learning the clothes will definitely give me valuable information for years to come.

i recently drew a picture with two of my main characters to show their height difference, and thanks to your videos Marc it came out well, the males leather pants came out much better then when i did the basic forms of a previous design. and the poses came out around 50% better in my opinion XD.

How did you like the movie? What a visual feast man, I felt inspired 🤓 Those with a good eye will have spotted her outfit is a mix between the 2 movies, what I liked best! Also she's been hitting the gym. BTW you can get my custom brush set for free right here cbr.sh/befto it contains my favorite lineart brush- the same I used for the drawing !

this is very accurate to how I learned to visualize light on my art pieces! I was too lazy to figure out light cause in my opinion, it is so hard to visualize. However, I did have more motivation to make my shading and shadows better. Through my journey on shadow making, I was able to then figure out the way light shines on character and objects from there!

I traditionally struggle to focus on a lot of things, but your way of speaking and the energetic (probably, passionate) way you present your material throughout your videos just resonate well. You're a major part of why I managed to finally get some structure into my practice and started seeing tangible results, which has made it much more fun to keep going. Your class fee is happily paid good sir.

You are an incredibly skilled teacher, thank you for your kindness

I think, I've done explorer's path for so long, but yeah, it takes time because I don't usually have time to draw, but I want to make sure I did all the training again, somehow I made myself a good note of it, wish all of you artists success in future. May all of us will be great artists on our own ways, good luck, everyone!

"You cant rush skills. they will come over time." -Wise person

This channel has made me improve so much. I'm not the greatest yet but these tutorials always get me those little improvements

I like the way he breaks down art topics, I can really get a grip of what he is talking about

Thanks baldman 👍

Absolutely agree on the correlation of shading and shape/volumes! If you're aware of the shapes, shading will be much easier and by practicing shading you will get to practice shapes as well (Especially true for more complex shapes like the face for example)!

Glad to know my way of praciticing is justified. Usually I take an art piece I like and study only for specific parts of it that I can put into my arsenal. Not doing a full study of course but maybe a 10-20 minute where I try to theorize on how some paintings lighting, colors or rendering styles work.

From my own experience, I vouch for The Dealer's Path. Learning cloth folds made me much better at drawing hair it actually surprised me. Learning human anatomy and gesture made me draw all sorts of fantasy creatures with ease.

Ngl this was the best advice I have heard all year.

I've been struggling so hard with discipline and forming the habbit of practicing regularly, But I've finally gotten in a rhythm and am hard at work on Term 1! Thanks so much for these great lessons! They've been such a huge help!!

I will give an example for 3D, you learn it basically the same way you do with any other art. I decided I want to do level design. I give myself a time limit and all the elements I will use. After the time period is over, there are no additional touchups. I see what is good and what is not and do the next one, using what I have learned. It might be slow at first but you become extremely fast and learn how to plan ahead. For me, there was a problem that I actually needed to learn to be a 3D generalist first so I can actually make all the elements I need, then I had to learn the engine and so on. This type of method is goal orientated (it is basically the first method mentioned in the video but with a few limitations).

obsessed with the painting with an inner glow effect! I need to try it

I just found your channel and I’ve been watching videos while I walk/run on the treadmill. I feel my brain absorbing what you teach lol seriously awesome job. I hope I can invest on your courses soon!

Always enjoy your videos on improving the learning process. It's such a fascinating yet underappreciated topic imo. I'll definitely be incorporating these tips into my own artistic journey!

As a beginner in art it’s awesome seeing someone draw so I can learn from them. Your art is just insane, keep up the good work. I have a question though. How do you do your sketch/lineart? It looks like you went right over the sketch and it came out great! Also what brush do you use for shading and ur lineart? Sorry if that’s a lot to ask but seriously keep up the amazing artwork :D

i always have to watch your videos twice, im always to enamored by following along with the art in the background to focus 😅

He and DLAS are my art daddies

I really love your teaching!! And the fact you put a background SpeedPaint helps me concentrate and even learn more by watching the video!

Thank you, king. I’ve been having this stupid artblock since two days ago, this video helped me so much !!!

This guy not only inspired me to draw more but to also take notes

You should probably title the video as "The secret rule to learn DRAWING faster."

I love this channel. Most ‘experienced animator’ channels take any opportunity they can to bash anime artists & those who don’t base their entire style on shape language & then use their work experience to justify it. Great job dude.

this is true because in my school we dont learn anything important they just teach you nothing that you should mostly need! for me i try to learn anatomy backgrounds and coloring alot ! im hoping to reach a certain level in art and thank you for everything!! your videos are always helpful! and i hope you have a good night/morning/evening 😃😃⭐⭐🌟🤩

I felt that " back in the good old days" :' ]

I may be wrong, but besides 8020 rule is self-analyzing is also great way to improve yourself in much shorter time. You've drawn the sketch, you see something off, seek it, find it and next time (or on the third-fourth time) won't repeat it.

My favorite art teacher... ever!💙

Ok but the way you used the half tone effect to double as the suits material 😮

now i am coloring random manga pages, that helps me with: choosing coor, shading, light, art style, etc... it's easy do to and i am learning :)

Imma be honest, I usually don't get to my youtube notifications until I have so many that I'm overwhelmed so when I do go through them I just look for "uploaded" vs "replied", skipping all the "uploaded"s, but your bright as heck pfp caught my attention so I actually looked at the notification long enough that I ended up clicking on it and here I am. It's the little things ig haha.

I went into this thinking I was using the wrong method but its nice to be assured that the "explorer's path" puts me on the right track

I've been watching your videos and recently bought the ART Program. I'm from the Philippines.

Marc brunet have one of the most helpful videos in RU-vid

So in summary, build a strong foundation that will be key for everything you will work at to the point that it becomes second nature, then patch up the details that are not so intuitive yet

This guy reads our minds.

Im so glad i used this method with out even knowing what it is, also as i tend to be a fast learner i got the hang of art pretty quick 😅

SUCH a good video!! gonna be rewatching this a few times

You and marco bucci are two of the best teachers!!

I freaking love your content, the way you manage to keep everything entertaining and most of all useful, but there's one thing i've always wondered... what's the amazing music in each of your videos, like really those guitar notes hits me soo much in those seconds of pure peace while you draw.

Please do videos on creatures/monsters + landscapes.

Marc, you’re my hero. 💗

I love how the art journey show me over and over again that selfgrow and selfconciousness are the things that actually can push us far. This means, learn what methods or techniques suits you better, not only to get better results with less effort, but to really manage your time better. You even added a beautiful reflexion at the end of the video that proves it. Becoming a better artist may be seen as something that we HAVE to do so we can get money and THEN live well. But when you see the whole picture is more like, "ok how can I get the most from what I do (and love to do) to live a life that I can -mainly- enjoy?" it's not only about spending hours learning to get a good job, its about the life we want to live right now too and how we can make the most of it. You're a beautiful and REALLY BIG PART of my art journey so i'm so deeply thankful for your whole existence and your vocation to share yourself here. Thank you so much Marc, let's keep creating!

Right now, one of the main things I'm trying to focus on is becoming more efficient with my work. The main thing I noticed is having a good sketch will make everything else go faster. So I think I need to work on anatomy and being able to sketch out the proportions and pose quicker with less time tinkering.

I love how you made sure everyone knew you were at Blizzard when it was good. 😂 Correlation maybe? 🤔

this is a really interesting concept, something to think about 🤔

Incredibly valuable stuff here! Thank you for the reminders & helping others. Awesome drawing as well! I can’t wait for the new “Art of” book for this Spider-Man🔥🔥

This is helpful! Eye opening video. It's like my art school. I only learned to add textures and use colors and improve them myself

you should make a 34 part series about the rules of art

I think it's surprise me that I learned so much from his art videos then a actually a art teacher because when I went to a art school they didn't do a good job in teaching us.

Thank you for your amazing video’s, they give me the motivation I need ❤

I wish I was art teacher since little kid and you are huge inspiration to me. :)

This is really fascinating to me. Cause the last few days I’ve been learning to draw cats, but it’s not because I’m interested or care much about them. Instead it’s because I’m trying to learn how to observe better. How to take in the details. A better eye I guess. And since cats should be simple if I can conquer drawing them then who says I can’t strive for something more complicated?

Remember people This is advice its optional you dont have to follow exactly the same techniques if you find a method you like then use it

I don't get it. Are you basically saying divide and conquer? Broad your horizons? Learn 20% of everything to get 80% better output, and learn 80% of the remaining stuff to get the remaining 20% output?

I learned about the 80/20 rule in my university art classes!

One thing I discovered with the 80 20 Rule: You can take a Reference but change it and use 20% of your badass skills where you good at and create a new Artwork. I hope this helps someone, we have to battle the AI MF's

I don't know why I'm subbed to this guy, but now I'm glad I am

I'm sorry but I remember way more from my elemental school than what you mentioned; in fact, I'd say most things from then, and I regard it as a very important base for our character and thinking, not a waste of time. That part gave me the ick lol

10:12 "Don't be a loser" -- Bro, I chose art as a vocation, it's way too late for that lmao

a key important thing is to try to see things as shapes rather than thinking of them as the whole object. I like to think of it this way. See things for what they look like rather than what they really are. It takes a lot of effort to do that since it goes completely against what the brain wants to do (unless I'm just the only person who thinks like that), but if you can try to do that, art becomes a lot easier. An eye isn't an eye anymore, it's just a shape. A hand isn't a hand, it's just a bunch of ovals on a square and the thumb is just some ovals on a triangle. We see things in a 3 dimensional space, and we see them in 3D. Forcing them into a 2 dimensional space makes it easier to translate that onto paper or a screen

much learnable

0:23 oh i'm sorry to hear that.

we need to congratulate him on being able to draw such a great spider woman with only one hand

Another amazing video Marc

The legend posted again!

The MB in the web was subtle... But amazing...
