Painting & Art Style - with Batman 

Thanks for watching, everyone! And correction: I think the better word is 'vernacular,' not slang. Oops! But you still get the idea :)

"style is different dialects of a language" absolute gold.

"wow those are some very full lips batman"

Bucci gang, bucci gang, bucci gang.

4:29 "Wow those are some very full lips Batman" 4:32 Batman: 😚

I think the most important thing that I learned in this video is that you admitted that you're essentially adding in random colors during the beginning phase of the painting. I know you're still adhering to color theory and everything, but I've always struggled with understanding where artists got the little different splotches of colors within each main area of value. Saying that these color choices are not entirely deliberate is really enlightening and I think I'll try applying this mentality the next time I paint. Thanks!

THANK YOU! Finally a pro artist that doesn’t dismiss “style” and explore different styles!!!

I liked the first drawing as it looks all dark and gritty like something you see on a movie poster or a video game front cover.

"Bring chaos into order" Yes! I feel that too when I'm painting or drawing. Thank you for putting it into words and so much thanks for your videos, they're so helpful and inspiring!

this isn’t showing how to steal styles, this shows to just OPEN YOUR MIND!!! BE DIFFERENT AND EXPLORE 👏👏

This video is just a work of art in itself. You did such a good job explaining how you were creating the artwork. There wasn't a "Draw the rest of the owl" sort of moment. Showing the closeups of the jaw was really demonstrative as well. Thanks

As full of wisdom and well presented all your videos on painting are, I have found that this one in particular has helped me the most with my art. I have spent years trying to grind fundamentals and do studies every day, anxiously sitting in front of the canvas and clenching my stylus like a gun was pointed to my head, ready to go off at the slightest mistake. What this particular exercise of yours showed me was that painting was, first and foremost, fun. I looked at you laying down big shapes on the canvas, playing in that puddle of chaos without caring about how wet your boots were going to get. It has offered me so much comfort to see that art can, and should be an exploration. I have started doing personnal projects alongside my studies and letting loose a little bit on the canvas, and I have never felt better about painting. Thank you for everything you're doing for the community, Marc

OMG! This is incredibly well explained. This just goes to show that painting is just a mosaic of shapes of different varieties coming together and we have to train our mind to see that way. The end result is affected by how you feel about those shapes. Thank you so much for your videos!

Every lesson of yours clarifies the fundamentals so much more and makes me eager to learn and explore it more!! This one was truly mind-blowing! You, Sir, are a master!

I love the approach of blocking in with texture at the beginning to influence the direction of your work. I’m an amateur musician and some of my best stuff has started with ambient recordings of the outdoors, then building on that.

My, this video was a very pleasant experience.

Lately, I've binge-watched a number of your videos for a fresh perspective on things...and I think it is safe to say: You are my hero when it comes to colour and digital paint!!!

"Ordo Ad Chao"... that's all about in this Universe. Amazing.

@Marco Bucci You are my favorite tutor cause you say not only what you are doing but what you think and what decicions you make during painting and this is the most important. Sharing and describing thoughts, proccesses, decicions BEFORE you lay a stroke is the greatest lesson and not everyone can do this.

The second one was really my favourite

Dude, this was Sick!

This is one of the best videos about style in art I've seen so far. Even though I am a traditional and not a digital artist it was extremly helpful and inspiring. Thank you!!!

That explanation of painting was poetic

I love coming back to Marco's older videos. They're all so very useful as important reminders. Also interesting to hear how Marco's voice changes over the years!

Thank you again Marco. your videos helped me to improve my skill. now i get a lot of work, and i'm living well from my art. :D you videos are changing not only my art, but my life as an artist. no words to describe it. so, just thank you very much.

Your explanation by closing in on the corners of the mouth is so interesting! Learned something new. Such quality content. Thank you!!!!

The last one is like a bunch of colourful sticky notes shoved into a plastic jar that just so happens to be in the shape of batman.

I work traditionally, but I was mesmerized watching this. Also, these style "dialects" are very relevant to any method. Awesome!

Great demonstration!! I liked the first one you did the best. I have never thought about starting with random 'textures'. I generally build up 'random' colors and keep refining to get an oil painting look in my digital portraits. I digitally paint much like I would paint traditionally.

it's like magic seeing you do these

can’t believe such wisdom is available for completely free

He's the best teacher any painting student can have, it's just so enlightening.

the fantastic juggling of form and color. stunningly!

WHY THIS CHANNEL IS SO UNDERRATED ?!?!?!? it needs to be 10 mil subs

That 18 mins is jam packed with info but is smooth enough to surf. Phenomenal. I really appreciate it and am excited to experiment.

Of all the art channels i follow, yours is the one I have learnt the most from (Some of which I have been subbed to for over 2 years). Only been around since your latest three videos, but I have been able to take so much of your advice to heart. I recently won an art competition by following your advice on abstraction! Thank you for making these wonderful lessons! Also, nice name!

You know an art channel is good when you feel like your own art will be better just for watching

I really love your videos. Coming from someone who focused on drawing and is now trying to add in painting and increase my skills, these have been very valuable. Thank You

I lost it at "wow, that is some serious full lips, batman"

This is by far the best & most helpful explanation of style I've ever seen. You articulate it brilliantly! Thank you.

Ughhh.. these videos are always so informative and great..I could hear these exact concepts in course material for years, then a ten minute Bucci tutorial and my mind is blown. HOW!? Thank you, Marco!

style number 2 is fantastic

This was really inspiring! It's given me a fresh way to think about my art. Thanks for the video!

Mannn you're a genius. Your way of explaining and discovering things is just amazing

This was extra-didactic, so thank you for that. My favourite techniques are Batman number 2 and 3. I still can't believe how you can master so many different styles and rock them this hard. Needless to say you gained a follower!

Dude I learned more from this video than any other digital painting video i have ever watched. Thank you. You are so direct and clear.

I really hope i have that taste in picking colors that would work together.

You got my subscription with this video! Your thoughts on chaos may be the best advice on painting I've ever received.

"Style" is a determined pack of elements that flow together through a common criteria stream.

Batman #3, very beautiful, very very beautiful !!!

My man. I could even listen to you talk about painting without the video! So glad I found you! Big thanks for sending me here Shaishav!

number 3 was sick. its simple and fast

2 minutes in to your narration and I know you are a master at what you do.

Thank you, Marco. Your videos are an inspiration that got me back into art. Best of luck with your work.

Your videos are really great. You are honest and straight forward about how photoshop painting is dependent on fundamentals but also give insight to how it is an amazing tool that can really give you beautiful and relatively fast results. As an analogy, it is like a missile that you need to guide with fundamentals or it can blow up in your face. Keep up the good work I've grown a bunch by watching your videos.

Am I the only one who got confused by all the layer manipulation at the second batman? IS there a good tutorial about those layers digital painters seem to use regularly? Can't believe he painted that without a single brush stroke, wow.

batman is also my favorite thing to sketch I saw this video last week after finishing one lol many thanks for this and many other great vids

That is one of the most helpful advices i've heard so far about art. I really thank you for your insight on it!

You're very well spoken. Great tutorial.

Great points. Well explained & demonstrated, as always. 👍🏾 My fave of the four are 1 & 3.

great work, new subscriber

16:30 struck me as very similar to something you could program a deep learning program to emulate. Thank you for the video. I'm realizing more and more lately how important the fundamentals are for many things.

This is hands down the best video I've seen about art styles and about how to develop them

This is amazing my mind is totaly blown which almost never happens with art videos anymore because of how many i watch but this is beutiful and astounding and ahhh its great

Marco you are with no doubt the best art RU-vidr there is

They all look so bad ass!!!!

2 wonderful styles of Batman: painterly, and blocking in shapes. Chaos into order :)

DUDE that was a sick experience

loved all 4 styles..

Love it!!! LONG LIVE THE BAT!

"overworked" very right analogy for this. I don't like overworked over rendered pieces but somehow my clinets always ask to make things sharp and clear

That chaos part, yes that was my whaaoooo moment. Earned a sub!

Wow, pretty cool, I like #2 & 4 Batman's (I'm partial to the impressionist movement)!

oh my GOSH !!! Man thatz Brave really courageous..and sure an eye opener .Thankyou

This video helped me SO MUCH! I discovered your channel just a few days ago and I'm wondering WHYYY, I WISH I HAD DISCOVERED IT SOONER D: You are precious and you paint wonderfully and, wow, you definitely know what you're talking about. Your videos feel like a stunning masterclass packed with information shown and told in a great, understandable way. Oh, and your voice is very nice c: Have a terrific day, dude. Keep creating 'cuz you're just the best. Peace

I do the second style 😍 definitely love it

Marc you are the best teacher. Thankyou for making these videos

I really enjoy the second style you use in this video and have trying to replicate it. Thank you for making this :)

I always seem to underestimate the power of shape.. and this video was a big reminder. Seeing so different approaches and hearing your thoughts about them is helpful and it's easy to find something to implement in ones own approach. Your videos are gold for aspiring artists, man.

I can't decide which painting I like best, they're all amazing work!

Fantastic styles, very precise and easy to learn tutorials. Thanks!

Wow! This tutorial is mindblowing 😧

His was a great video to watch with some very helpful examples.

That second style omg. So awesome, gonna try it later!

wowww. thanks! nad as you say, the basics came first, then the style. we use to get obsesionated with the style, but that came later.

Holy crap!!! This is awesome Batman.

This man blew my mind within 1 minute and 29 seconds, let's see how the rest of the video goes

15:43 really liked that line

This is one of my favorite videos on youtube.

I can watch this 5000 times and still enjoy every second of it :-)

2nd one was the best, I love how it looks

Batman 2 is such a great look :O

Dude. You're so talented

cool i love the randomness and exploring the uncomfortable breakthrough in one comfort zone. Exploring wild colors and shapes to achieve cool artistic styles. love how you compare the different ones as well! This will help me break out of my artist Fears! Thanks Man!

woooow... I need to have a smoke and watch it ten times more to really understand how to use styles so freely in personal works))))) Man I adore you lessons!!!

I love this video so much and have learnt so much from it! Thank you so much!

I learn something with every video you post, man! It's greatly appreciated!

Batman shows how to draw himself in different styles. Marco himself sounds like Batman

Marco, I am really happy I found your channel. So many interesting and challenging ideas.

this was so much fun to watch. brilliant as always :D
