Oh snap a new artist study! This time it's @WLOP 's art being X-RAYED. All of his skills are now OURS for the taking muahHAHAHAH1111!! This was another fun one to make, let me know what you think :)
WLOP's art has set the standard for what AI-generated images should be. Recently, I showed one of his images to a friend, and he was like, 'How did you generate this image?'... I feel bad for WLOP...
@@justalostlocal people that make them wants the self gratification without the hardwork associated with it, basically a form of stroking your own ego, just worse
@@grimsonforce7504 Look at the Piano artwork he made! He modeled it in Blender and incorporated it into his artwork. It's not impressive until you realize how hard it is to marry 3D assets to 2D artwork.
WLOP is a living art deity to me. He is a horizon. I know I'll never get to his level as he himself is always improving, but I can and will keep trying to reach it
He uses the rules and practice of traditional painting (oils and acrylics) and applies them to digital. Study traditional ways then mix it with digital looking (lineart, unnatural but crisp rendering).
wlop is THE goat man I discovered wlop when i was waaaaayy back in highschool, over a decade ago... and seeing his skill grow is just wowowowwow. But even back then, it was actually so good too! it's just been refined. I sub to wlop's patreon for about a year ages ago, to try and learn, and I think the most amazing part is just how he makes drawings look so effortless - there is like no form via excess detail, you are absolutley right it is so reminiscent of the speed painting BOOOM. Wlop is such a master at this, and is such a display of the PERFECT mastery of value control and LIGHTTTT, and less is more.... and more ... when you watch his drawing of the character skin, its SO basic! he doesn't spend much time on painting the form of body much at ALL, but it comes through so clearly and so fast. Then all the rest, the jewellery etc.. Its splotches and scribbles and marks even, but his knowledge of texture and value makes it read PERFECTLY compared to someone trying to mimic. the way he controls lighting, value, contrast, etc. to control the visuals and how we read his art is so much like the old masters. and i really love WLOP because he has maintained his integrity in art and what i mean is his vision, storytelling, the MEANING behind drawing .. its not just like sakimichan or others that got good, and dropped quality in favour of money and lost their storytempping and composing art.
I've asked for you to do WLOP since the first time you did one of these artist analysis videos. I've never clicked on a video so fast when I saw this pop up.
So good hearing artists geeking out about other artists and sharing their love for the process. It would be the coolest thing to see how WLOP would react to other people breaking down his art. For the next study I would love to see Seok Jeong-Hyun, Ruan Jia or Anato Finnstark
It's nothing short of magic to my eyes. I look at the details and the art is just a bunch of messy lines, borderline gibberish. But look at the whole picture and its focal point and it utterly convinces you that you're staring at a beautiful, super detailed rendering. Just crazy. It almost makes me want to hate the human brain for being so fooled into imagining the details that aren't there.
This is the best art chanel ever! TuT I always wanted Marc to study wlop. Wlop is probably my favorite artist ever, but Marc is my favorite teacher ever TuT
Got my daughter into digital art. WLOP is someone who she is highly inspired by and has had a positive influence on her art. I hope to be able to enroll her in your school soon so she can get a real solid grasp of all the basic principals that she needs at this point. Rock on ! (ZBrush still misses you Marc! )
you encourage you daughter to look at an artist who draws the faces of toddlers on adult womens bodies! you are going to make your daughter sick with body dysmorphia
You will give her body dysmorphia by acting like this artist is ok! Daring the faces of toddlers on adult women bodies. It’s very sick and you should not want your show it to your daughter! What’s she going to think her value as a girl is looking at his pdf art.

i love this kind of content, Dude. Learning artist's stuffs and share to us, especially for newcomers like me is very helpful. I felt like I was being guided on how to study it. So I know what points to pay attention to. Thank you...
WLOP has been my ideal for semi-realistic painting for years now and studying his art style by myself to understand their process has been a struggle from my lack of knowledge in art techniques. That's why I am really really happy and appreciative of you making a study session on his art! Thank you so much!❤
MARC YES ! please do more artist work breakdown, you pro artist have the ability to understand them in the first place, we newbies cant ! some suggestion of artists, Craig Mullins the god, Huang Guangjian, Feng wei !
I wanted to say, that you're very good at teaching. Your videos are not too long and manage to convey crucial informations. Last time I've watched one of your videos and already learned two things I had no idea about. I was mindblown at the moment.
WLOP is one of my all-time favorite artists, his style has had such a huge influence on the types of art that I collect and the way I'd like to paint someday. I own several of his prints ❤
Amazing analysis vid Marc! WLOP has such great control over focal points, I'm always amazed by his ability to convey clear ideas through rather rough and messy brushstrokes. It's something I try to achieve when sketching and working on concepts. Thanks for the breakdowns!
Thank you so much! I love WLOP and when I studied his art in detail as you did, it was a surprise to see how the details were painted. I'm very obsessive with that part in my paintings and the detailing take me so long that at the end, I feel tired and bored and don't finish, which is really sad. So it was a real master class and eye opener for me to see WLOP's process, and how is not necessary to paint every single thing, but better dominate lighting, color and composition. And yes! I would love to watch a series about this with other artists. The ones that made me love digital painting were Linda Bergkvist and Melanie Delon. Linda is no longer active in the art world (as far as I know), but she inspired so many people to enter into this, that it would be nice to see a disection of her artwork too. So as Melanie's, of course :D
Great video! I would have loved if there was a demonstration on how WLOP's does metalic elements by playing with contrasts, lighting and shadowing, which is to me the most appealing aspect of his art, his signature.
I've studied him for so long and i learned new stuff this vid. Thanks so much man. As for the next study: im begging for a samdoesart vid. Either him or Kan Liu. Both draw water magnificently and yet so simply.
First of all, VERY AWESOME. I like the style very much but didn't think of it that way, now I can visualize more practical ways to aply their tricks for painting. Thanks a lot!
This kind of video Is what many of us been looking for, to see when a legend breaks down another legend's methods for novice to learn. It's great.... Can you do samdoesart (hope I spelt it right) next
I really really love Demizu Posuka's art style. They are the Promised Neverland's manga artist, and thought not exactly mainstream especially in the western sphere, I find their compositions and control over dynamic angles and poses very very cool. Would love it if you did a study on them next time.
WLOP is one of my favorite artists, and you are my favorite art instructor, so you have no idea how excited I am to see this video. The specific thing that I love about his art is the story telling in it. It is rarely just "pretty girl is pretty" but usually there is a narrative in it - particularly if you know his writing and recognize the characters from there. The high rez stuff serves as sort of an epilogue for them. Would love to see a study on some old school fantasy artists, but not sure how much there is about them. Folks like Elmore, Easley, or Franzetta. They don't really do digital work though. A personal favorite of mine who does digital but no one really knows is Christopher Hastings.
Thank you for breaking down the composition a bit, would love more videos on this topic too! And maybe dino_illus or serafleur for a future style-study vid? Or a non-anime master like sargent or van gogh to switch it up :)
Thanks Marc, I understand his style a little bit now. Although, i mainly draw anime illustrations, it's still a good lesson for me just to add on some knowledge from the greats.
Please do a GUWEIZ study too if you have not done yet.. I can't tell you how much useful what it is you are doing breaking down successful artists' works from an eye of an experienced and seasoned artist translating it for us noobs :). These successful artists differ in workflow and techniques but the more techniques we know the better since not all technique will work with everyone since we have different absorption and understanding or training of these techniques and concepts. Some techniques feel more natural, other feels less intuitive, depends on what kind of artists we are and how we understand it and approach a painting/drawing.. Awesome Idea and awesome series, thanks so much!
Patiently waiting for Hungryclicker style/workflow analysis.....😃 Great video as always, Marc! Thank you, I always go back to your videos every time I tackle difficulty on my art journey, you save so many lives with your art tutorial
Heaps of people have already said it, but please do Guweiz! He's my favourite artist, and I've tried to study his work in the past but never been able to replicate the style. Also love WLOP, and I think you did a great job breaking it down and replicating a similar style.
Yep. I love WLOP's art style so much. His characters remind me of those Korean RPG games like Blade and Soul. 😍 And while I enjoy seeing different art styles, when it comes to my own, I always go for 2D anime art style. So a Rinotuna study would be a veeery helpful video too. 😍
Wlops art is amazing! I remember asking about how he studied & when he showed his early work to and the leap to what we see now I thought wow! there is hope for me yet lol! Loved this video you should do Stanley Lau (Artgerm) at some point.
i also love how even women are rarely fully dressed (or barely covered) in his paintings, it doesn't feel sexualized, instead gives them this "inaccessible, untouchable" vibe
Really? Are you joking! He literally put the faces of toddlers on them! If you feel comfortable looking at his stuff I seriously question what you’re into….
@@zara-zq1oii would get it if the body was dramatically small but his characters he draws is perfectly fine. Some people have small faces and on top of that he’s not sexualizing them. And before you say people dont have baby faces, i do. Another thing he draws Chinese women, they usually tend to have small faces
I love really it plays into a concept I've found from another artist who does creature designs. The face generally is always the focal point, all the work there, the rest is rougher, and when done the brain automatically fills in the rest and boom! Done. I love how his linework is almost non existent as it's all just suggestion and the rest is painted.
Thank you so much for this video Marc❤ I always learn so much from this channel I'm grateful for how much effort you put in this for us If i may suggest, I'd really really love a break down of BO CHEN's art style Probably the only good thing in league of legends lmao But yeah, completely fell in love with the art style Thank you again✨
Have you ever thought about studying and doing a video about the work of comic book artists who work digitally like Pepe Larraz, Dan Mora, or Jorge Jimenez? I don't know if its your style or if comics interest you, but but i think it would be super cool. They're all absolutely amazing artists and they have very appealing styles.
your study of WLOP at the end iss very good, even that you tried to keep the colors muted it still looks rather stylized, which isnt bad, just comes to show how our sense of values and saturation differ from artist to artist
This video is really usefull to people like me, have problems with the light and contrast, i will take the course when i have money to pay it 🥰 I really wanted a video showing how meola do her illustrations and the effects, please 💞💞
