As an artist working only in traditional media this just looks so complicated to me but I can imagine once you master the software that the possibilities are endless. What was really blowing my mind as I watched this was the amazing skills of the coders who create this software.

Honestly, this should not be free - thank you for the insanely high quality :) Between Adam Duff - for Therapy, Marco Bucci - for pointed Technical art lectures Sinix - for form, colour and digital art lectures (and chroma corps) Marc Brunet - for form practice Proko - Hosted colour lectures, warm ups etc, Ethan Becker - for a good dose of sadism to tickle the childhood memories Trent Kaniuga - for the businessy concept art side We really have such an amazing community to learn from :)

People really underestimate how much the natural texture and physics of traditional media add to a painting. I hear so many people talk about how digital art is so much easier, but whenever you see traditional artists move to digital art you’ll often notice their pieces look more lifeless. It takes a lot of knowledge and skill to learn how to make digital media do what you want to do as that textures and physical interaction of elements isn’t there by default to add life and hide imperfections. Both media have their eases and difficulties

This is the fastest click to watch video of my life. Again, thank you for your guidance, master Marco Bucci.

Hey Marco, I know your work is very much inspired by traditional art (and it's a joy to look at) but I'm wondering if you might consider doing a video on digital brushwork that doesn't necessarily emulate traditional media. I've definitely seen digital art that has fantastic brushwork but doesn't seek to look traditional or like a particular medium, yet when I try to research or find resources I always end up at results which are very much "how to make your digital work look like watercolor/pastels/markers" etc. Some examples off the top of my head would be: Alexinatree, EliOli, Loish, John Loren, and DeadSlug (not all of his work but definitely his Spirited pieces with backgrounds) Their work looks digital, but still feels alive without emulating a particular traditional medium. It's more expressive than a lot of digital art, but more subtle than the resources I usually dig up.

So is this just one giant sponsor for painter? :I I was just waiting for Marco to explain how to do these in other Programms as well.

This is literally just and ad for Painter. I came looking for a tutorial that would show me how to get similar effects using any digital platform. He says that you can do it over and over again, yet never shows you that it's possible himself.

Get a load of this guy. Real modern day Wile E. Coyote aren’t you? Real hard man. For real though that was a good bit at the start. Don’t ask anyone but I guessed digital 😉

I love that digital allows you to imitate traditional-looking paintings even if you short on budget (because i can’t afford myself so many instruments for traditional painting)

I love how after the video talking about using a variety of brushes. The annotation at the end shows a video all about how you don’t need to use lots of brushes. Nice touch :>

Every single time I see a tutorial of you I think "I cant believe im watching this for free". Payed for 40h courses that haven't taught me HALF of your 10 minute tutorials! Thank you so much Marco!

I'm so glad you keep posting!!! you're my favorite art channel and am so glad videos are still coming out. also this perfect timing because I just got photoshop and I've been having a blast!

You always blow me away with your videos. I am a traditional artist gone digital and you've helped a lot so far, but this video helped things click. I can see how much fun you have and it reminds me to have joy and levity in my work. I'm a teacher too, and nor only is your artistry amazing, but your teaching skills (including editing your videos and all) lend to being concise and demonstrative. I don't mean to gush, but your audience can tell how much love you put into sharing your passion, so I feel inclined to reciprocate that love and truly say thank you.

I really appreciate that you explain that in many ways;there are no exact and\or specific means of creating a visually pleasing image.The variables allow lots of freedom! Thank you Marco!

Your videos are such a good learning resource. Short and to the point with just the right amount of info for me. Thank you for keeping up the good work (and the paper texture!)

as someone who started just a few months ago in digital art, I thank you from my heart for this. The transition from traditional to digital has been very enjoyable bc of your videos.

Sei un grande, davvero! Ti seguo da anni e senza di te molti concetti sarebbero a me sconosciuti. Continua così, questi video sono oro colato per moltissimi artisti.

Always look forward to your videos and you never disappoint, thanks Marco!

I love how a lot of this advice can be really helpful for traditional stuff, I don't work digitally much but I still find myself applying a lot of what you teach in my traditional artwork

Marco did it again. Another great video from a great artist and teacher.

I love your art tips videos, I've improved so much thanks to them!

Always great. And it’s nice to see you in person ✌🏻✌🏻 you rock man

Dear Marco. You are the best teacher to ever be. Thank you.

this is an amazing video. layering different media sounds so simple when you say it, i dont know why i never thought of it.

This channel and some traditional art channels have helped me get to where I am digital painting. I haven't been posting much but I did a digital self portrait. I think it came out nice. I am one year in and I think how far I got is a testament to the information available online.

Thank you very much Marco, I learn a lot with every video, you always give very valuable tips to improve creativity, i love it. When i started to draw i had fear to use colours because their mixes are very complicated, and slowly i'm experimenting new techniques, mixes, you taught me that mix adds more nuances and emotions to drawings, and is part of nature, "embrace the grey" :) . Ah, and the video talking about highlights, so precious!!!, i'm enjoying a lot trying them on tonal papers portraits, they give so much life! :) . Thank you for everything you do, it helps a lot!

Wow, that was sooo good and inspiring! :) Thank you for sharing those tips on how to modify the workflow.

Your videos are so interesting, informative, and concise. My ADHD brain really appreciates the cadence you have speaking and your lively videography. Really one if the best art accounts I have come across and I am obsessive about art videos. Truly, thank you. You've taught me more than I've forgotten from school!

Luterally every video this man makes is pure artistic knowledge gold. I always learn something

This is gold thanks a lot for every tip and knowledge you share Marco

Maestro Bucci! Your stuff has always impressed but I gotta say, these last couple of years have been a revelation. Thank you so much for the no-nonsense education.

Another stunningly good video Marco ! Thx.

Nice, I'm sure this video will be really helpful for me. Gotta say though, I really love your shelves and cabinets for your traditional art supplies!

this is the first time i've considered making a purchase from a video with a sponsor, great work!

This channel really helped me expand my knowledge of colors.

Finally he gave us a hint bout digital painting! Ain't you the best Marco 😊 Thanks man

As always, Mr. Bucci continues to make some of the highest quality stuff on the internet. I got painter for free with my Wacom tablet, along with CSP, and I completely ignored it! Unbelievable how much I've been wasting that limited license lol

i love every videos in your channel ! great artist give away high quality contents

Just watching Marco splatter digital paint on a digital canvas is so satisfying. Downloading corel paint right now. So inspired!

I recently bought Clip studio Paint, it's also really good for brushes and traditional painting effects! this was such a good lesson! thank you so much for putting such a great quality content for free.

great vid! so much cool methods in here. Also it'd be so much nicer if other programs had these type of brushes as well, especially PS since it's used in the industry so much.

This just blowed my mind! I use painter but just scratching the surface of this amazing software.

This is gold. Now I have a reason to use Painter again.

My favorite type of the beginnings when the video starts with a good question that makes you think

Wow!! Best lesson I have seen about digital painting. Pro and A++ .. thanks for your time and effort.

Why is every video by this guy an insta click must watch, literally makes some of the most useful content to any artists. Answering those questions I've always wanted answer, but never known how to ask.

yaay neww video, marcoo, i bought your class abt the head and imm so happyy, its so good, i learnt so much already 😁😁😁😁😁😁

NEW VIDEO! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My My. Traditional drawing video that i didnt know I needed. Awesome !!!

Krita is the closest program i can think of that properly emulate traditional stuff. But even that doesn't hold a candle to how painter does it. But maybe the new version does, haven't really tried it. I prefer medibang.

I learned so much in such little time! thank you

the brushwork and shapes segment really resonated with me.

Ayyyyyy, it’s time to get that knowledge Jammed through my thick skull

Gorgeous lesson, thank you very much!

I've been professinaly working with painter since 8th version and I cant tell you this man is on another level.

After buying corel painter, I've had it for years and stuck with the standard airbrush, flat color, and a bit of oil to blend with the occasional experimentation with effects brushes. This video has shown me I have a much more interesting and powerful program on my laptop that I should try more with. Thank you for the tutorial!

This was so cool! I am so inspired! 🎨 Time to practice!

More Painter videos please. This was awesome.

Oh you lovely man! Great video. One thing about difficultly with hands. I remember seeing a special on yoshitaka amano or the ghibli studios. While his sketches are very rough in style, he or one of his representatives mentioned about starting with hands and feet to get the hard part out of the way and it helps the anatomy come together more clean. I did play with starting with hands in my figures (after some study and warm up) and i noticed a huge improvement for myself. I hope this method can get you out of that hole we all dig ourselves into. -airfive-

Fantastic video with tons of gold nuggets of painting wisdom tucked in! The experimentation and controlled chaos you introduce to workflow really does make painting a joyful and fun experience! Excited to go home and get crazy with different textures and brush shapes.

Painter's 3d brush makes painting look more digital that a circle brush

So Happy to see another Painter fan! Watercolor and ink are my favs

Thank you for this awesome content!!

Fantastic lesson!

thanks a lot ! that helped with my ink drawing i was getting bored of even before putting the brush on the paper. i just went crazy with the colors and it looks so much more interesting ! I'll go in with some gouache later on to add more texture !

Amazing videos. Wish you all the best!!!

First for the first time yes! Love your work Marco ❤️

I have been a Photoshop person for quite a while, but now I have to try this. Thanks, Marco!

thanks for the free paper texture and for the amazing lesson! :).

Aka marco flexing how many traditional art mediums he has

thanks you i needed this!

You deserve wayyyyyy more subscribers, WAY MORE

It's always a GREAT day when Marco uploads a video 💕😍😎😋😁🥰

love that intro! smooth :D

amazing video, never heard of this app but you sold it for me extremely cool

Was just binging your videos when this dropped :D

Hail master Marco Bucci, always inspiring and inspiring...

Well, obviously this is up my alley! : )

Freaken insane! I don’t know about all those stories about your childhood…- you are amazingly talented!

Was asleep when you uploaded the video , but great guidance as always ❤️ thanks

Houston Sharp has a great brush set, its free and the one he uses it on his pieces you can see he has a painterly style, (there is a bunch in the set but all I use is the pen and the oil paint brushes, the oil thick paint brush in particular) and when I used it alongside the advice in this channel and BoroCG and its has brought HUGE life to my drawings, like I literally see the difference, one of those rare moments in life where I see myself visibly level up lol P.S. Also, if you are going for the oil painting or gouache look I recommend sticking to only a handful of brushes that are similar, and rare use of airbrushes, paint it like how you would in physical, put the tones, then find the midtones and sample in between to simulate the mixing, if you sample multiple times you will get multiple different mid tones between your brushstrokes which will make your drawing have richer toning and more painterly look

thank you for this video!

You had me but in the opposite way. I was actually thinking this is definitely digital. Some of the brush strokes are too digital-like. Then when you said "wait this is actually drawn on wood" I was very surprised.

Wow, this was really helpful

Thank you for adding English subtitles

I just watched 18 minutes ad and I'm not even mad about it.

Clip Studio Paint chanched the whole Game for me. I was Glued to the screen your Videos so educational and fun to watch

Super helpful!

6:20 the abstract colors look like a parrot perched on a terrace with some plants on the background Thanks for the video! Salute to the best master ✌️

Awesome video ! Txs 😊

Extraordinary 👍

thanks for thisss

Marco is the best teacher ever

i'm afraid that by following this video i'll mainly be trying to copy your style of brushwork rather than trying to find my own style. You're explanation is still great though, i often try to erase "mistakes" in my work, but i see now that those "mistakes" are what give the piece it's personality and uniqueness.

You got m for sure 💯💯💯💯

Never have I clicked so fast !

Bless you, Buccinator

This changed my perspective on Corel painter,I never explore it.thanks!

For anyone that is starting out and doesn't have the money for an overly complex program like Painter, I would recommend ArtRage Vitae or Rebelle 5, both of which are quite powerful and do an award-winning job of simulating natural media but are less overwhelming and have a more user-friendly interface. (Not to mention they cost a LOT less.) Rebelle 5 even claims to be the very first digital painting software that accurately simulates real pigments and color mixing.
