If you're struggling with the lasso tool, try using the pen tool. Once you you got what you want to select, right click and then "make selection", you'll get smoother results
Back in the day, it was just practice, and/or lassoing a larger or smaller area, and then expanding or diminishing the selection area under the options. But honestly, just use the magic wand. Especially in CSP.
I've been watching you on Deviantart and TH-cam for like 10 years now. Your tutorals and artwork have been such a huge inspiration and I really want to tip my hat to you for helping me get where I am today in the industry as a character concept artist. Wouldn't be here without you. You'll always be my favourite artist.
Your way of sorting the shadow, midtones and highlights it's pretty smart! I'm gonna try to apply it on my next drawings instead of doing a mess with lots of layers
Definitely a great system! Following this system will ensure you hit the basics each time love it. After that you can take some artistic chances and choices
for my own sake: layer 1: sketch the anatomy layer 2: sketch in the clothing and folds layer 3: line art next part is to separate each different colour used into its own layer grouping, and make a separate layer per group for: midtones shadows gradient highlight then add details to where needed, such as the face, and finally alpha lock the line art and change the colour where needed/desired. hope others find this useful as well.
The gradient maps/ gradient layer has carried my rendering the past few years, it’s also a good way to add some easy metallics like you were rendering by really reflecting the environment, helps with some effect passes or when doing really shiny materials
I study full time at college and work on projects, so I don't have much time to draw, which makes me very sad... mainly because drawing has been my biggest passion since childhood. Your videos help me keep that desire to think about drawing even if I can't due to time and tiredness, every now and then I go back to some classes to remember how to do certain things or just to feel that "desire" to draw! I love your videos, thank you very much for keeping the artist's soul inside me.
He uses a separate layer marked purple to add gradient shadows. This gives more depth and clarity to the shadows. He uses a lasso tool to achieve a hard edge on one side and a softer edge on the other to create a more realistic look. srry if u dont understand not rlly good with explaining.
You basically use a low opacity airbrush and paint where you want the shadows, that way they don't look so harsh once you paint the actual shadows with a hard edged brush, hope that helped 💜
basically he uses airbrush (brush with soft edge) and using the lasso tool to select a part and airbrush it to make some gradient. good for making hard edge also soft edge really quick
I just want to say you're one of he best youtube teachers I've come across. I learn at least one thing from watching you and you're good at making them entertaining too!
Thank you. I've been struggling with coloring for awhile but you've showed me a new way to try things that actually makes sense. I'm gonna try these next time I draw.
Amazing! Sometimes a full drawing process video is more effective than the explanation itself. I mean, theory is always good, but seeing how a pro applies theory on his drawing is a huge help, thank you Marc!
Took me how many months to figure out you bearly even blended the shadows... Western and animation is what I'm aiming at and this helped. Anyway Thank you for re-railing my track to my goal. I got exhausted due to my stem midterms exam....
sweet! I just started developing an alternative anime style to my main style and this will come in handy to help me with shading and rendering. thank you!
This was very helpful, I'm gonna have to start experimenting with putting theflat color, shading, gradients and highlights on their own layers since I'm so used to doing it all on the same layer.
Thank you for sharing this, it has answered so many little questions I've had. I'm looking forward to trying the new brush and this whole idea this week!
Thanks for this man! I do a tonne of flat cell shaded art and I'm always a bit scared or reluctant to use gradients. But seeing the way you're using them definitely makes me rethink hwo I'm painting.
I notice that in order to pick proper colors for the drawing you go in a diagonal towards the upper left corner and for shadows towards the bottom right corner. I think it's a nice technique to pick the proper shading colors for all those color flats that we keep wondering if using a single color set to multiply over them or just go out of our comfort zone and start color picking.
bro just gave my self esteem a huge boost, just drew something that I'm proud of and now with this I feel like I can make some professional looking art😅
Hey Marc, thanks for this video; it really helped answer a lot of questions I had with an earlier colour process video you did re: using separate layers for flats, and clipping masks! Couple of remaining questions if you wouldn't mind indulging me: 1. what's the purpose of the Inner Shadow Layer FX you use on your main silhouette layer (when working with your painted values technique)? 2. When flatting, do you turn off anti-aliasing for a really crisp selection?
Yeaaaahhhh!!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT! I tought I was doing it the wrong way, but i just needed a little advice! Tysm! (By the way.... what a huge bunch of layers LOL. I use just 4 and my Device explodes haha)
me who does construction after the sketch, confused on why I need to do 4 sketches before I'm ready for line art. Idk how I never thought to do the basic shapes construction before the sketch but it sounds like it would make it a lot easier hahaha
How do I know I'm still getting the right proportions while drawing in foreshortening? btw this classes week helped me to think more about my drawing process and it made me definitely want to try drawing again, was like a sign 😭🙏
Dear Mark, I dont knwo if you take requests, but could you please share your approach on metalic matterials, like armor? how would you color and shade a medieval armor?
I'm not Marc (and I hope he posts a tutorial relating to this soon), but a tip to hold you out for a while is that metallic materials are super shiny. You can use the blackest blacks and the whitest whites (in their respective areas, of course) and you're pretty much set. Adding reflections of color like the sky or the scenery around the metallic object will add to the shiny and hard effect. Medieval armor, however, won't have super pushed shading, but the process is very similar. First, you pick your shadow color, then add bounce light, reflective colors (grass, the sky, hair, etc), and finally, highlights. Here's to hoping Marc makes a tutorial for this! I'm still learning myself tbh haha
Hello, Marc! Great video! Been watching your content since my brother introduced me to you, which was around a year or two ago, which was also before I came up with my art alias, Shirokotei (SHEER-OH-KOH-TAY). I just want to say your videos are a life-saver when it comes to learning art. I’ve watched numerous videos of yours and improved quite a bit because of you. (I’m Not pro level yet, but around mid-beginner to lower intermediate.) Bottom line, though, thanks for everything you do! Edit: Question - Do you take requests for characters to draw for your art lesson videos? If you do, I was gonna suggest Byakuren Hijiri from Touhou 12
At 7:48 how did he manage to get those "lines" on the hand with the gradient. Those below the thumb or right of the middle finger below the index finger? Did he use a soft eraser or something? I can't get that effect to work using both clip studio's default or his brushes so its a skill issue on my part. If anyone could answer this I would be really thankful!

Im tired boss
I'll never understand how people get so smooth with lasso tool
The more you do it. The easier it becomes
@@teamili7957 i got parkinson the moment i click on lasso tool

Steady hand, comes with practice
Back in the day, it was just practice, and/or lassoing a larger or smaller area, and then expanding or diminishing the selection area under the options.

Marc just want to say how I appreciate your lessons and humour and enthusiasm! Awesome!
Facts and consistency

thanks so much Shelly! that's so nice of you to share! what an awesome turn of events and it's an honor to play any part in it :D

Following this system will ensure you hit the basics each time love it.

for my own sake:
layer 1: sketch the anatomy
layer 2: sketch in the clothing and folds
layer 3: line art
next part is to separate each different colour used into its own layer grouping, and make a separate layer per group for:
midtones
shadows
gradient
highlight
then add details to where needed, such as the face,
and finally alpha lock the line art and change the colour where needed/desired.
hope others find this useful as well.

We losing our balls with this one 🔥🔥🔥
I've already lost one of them
I wasn’t born with them but I plan on getting some I think
without context this is probably even funnier
There's no we on that bro
Denji didn't have his balls in the first chapter, neither does Occult-kun. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree (CSM -> DDN)
incredible how clear you can describe your process, not many artists have it sorted to such a degree
I appreciate the fact that you post these lesson.
Thank you for the lesson.❤
I love Marc's commentary, he's funny and he makes every lesson so entertaining to watch. Happy Sunday all.
I study full time at college and work on projects, so I don't have much time to draw, which makes me very sad... mainly because drawing has been my biggest passion since childhood.

gotta do a video just explaining the line coloring and gradient work cause your on another level
Nice seeing Momo and learning about your process. My sunday is saved^^
As a noob, I understood everything except the gradient layer. Didn’t really get what he did to make it look like that 😅
He uses a separate layer marked purple to add gradient shadows. This gives more depth and clarity to the shadows. He uses a lasso tool to achieve a hard edge on one side and a softer edge on the other to create a more realistic look. srry if u dont understand not rlly good with explaining.
He paints it. No secret sauce there. I watched again and you can the palette changing colors. Looks like just good ol paintbrush to me.
The video completely glosses over how he does it
You basically use a low opacity airbrush and paint where you want the shadows, that way they don't look so harsh once you paint the actual shadows with a hard edged brush, hope that helped 💜
basically he uses airbrush (brush with soft edge) and using the lasso tool to select a part and airbrush it to make some gradient. good for making hard edge also soft edge really quick

Love the crispy cel shading sir.
This is probably one of my favorite episodes ever. You’re the goat
Thank you. I've been struggling with coloring for awhile but you've showed me a new way to try things that actually makes sense. I'm gonna try these next time I draw.
Truly saved my life, now I’m enlightened! Thank you so much!
Marc thank you so much for that app recommendation! It really is a life saver and I'm very glad it is free
It’s like this man exactly knows what I need. Great video as always🔥
Amazing! Sometimes a full drawing process video is more effective than the explanation itself. I mean, theory is always good, but seeing how a pro applies theory on his drawing is a huge help, thank you Marc!
Ooh this looks awesome, it’s so organised with all the colour coded layers too!
Took me how many months to figure out you bearly even blended the shadows... Western and animation is what I'm aiming at and this helped.
Anyway Thank you for re-railing my track to my goal. I got exhausted due to my stem midterms exam....
Senpai starting the week off PROPER (as usual)! THANX! 🙇
thanks sensei i just finished my line art for a fanart of cyberpunk edge runner anime this was a big help
I've some recent realizations on Hand vs Digital, I'm going to be hoping over to doing a bunch of hand drawn stuff for practice.
Exactly what I needed for my current projects, thank you Marc💜
You are great Marc, I've learned a lot from You, I'm loving Dan Da Dan
I needed this 😢 perfect timing Marc
just for you! 😘
I've been following you for 10 years 😫👌🏾❤️

i got excited trough this video, more and more until the end
you make it look so easy
My favourite artist drawing dandandan this such a treat
Tried out that new ink brush today, love it
Thank you, Marc!

hell yeah!
Marc is definitely in the running for best art teacher.
Love you Marc, your art is amazing.
Love your works, teach.
Yeah new video! Highlight of my week man
Best art teacher ever😃😃
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO OR A SHORTS, showing How we can do the de outter glow part in clip Studio
thank you sensei
the dandadan music drop haha
The savior has returned with a new technique!
He makes it look so easy ToT
A new video, yay!!!
AWESOMENESS SIR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

1. just style choice, I like the silhouette to be well defined
2. no, the lineart covers the transitions
Thanks! ❤
Amazing ty❤

cant believe someone leaked marcs secret process
how dare he!
Yeaaaahhhh!!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT! I tought I was doing it the wrong way, but i just needed a little advice! Tysm! (By the way.... what a huge bunch of layers LOL. I use just 4 and my Device explodes haha)
oooomy gaaawd that pen. imgonna fight u bro,
by the way i follow you for my art upgrade.. thankyou for all the knowledge 🤟
Thanks pookie ❤
Just tried out the new brush. It lags behind the cursor REALLY badly in photoshop yet works perfectly fine in CSP 2.0.
Not sure what's going on there.
me who does construction after the sketch, confused on why I need to do 4 sketches before I'm ready for line art. Idk how I never thought to do the basic shapes construction before the sketch but it sounds like it would make it a lot easier hahaha
How long am I able to use a stylus/Digitalpen before I need to replace the tip. (tryna to learn to draw)
I changed mine maybe 3 times in 20 years
I would like to congratulate everyone who learned how to draw with marc brunet 🎉🎉🎉
I either just watch or put it in a playlist I’ll def watch later 😅 No learning happening with me

You make it look so easy to do. I don't think I can do it with my little Wacom Intous
Always harder than it looks, but you can do this on literally any tablet, even a 2x3 inch off brand one ;) I did for many years!
uyy uyy uyy aother vid from Professor X! Thank you wise man!
Really helpfull teach!
I could have sworn you already had a full process video and then I looked and its *four* years old lmao.
Time has meant nothing since 2020.
How do I know I'm still getting the right proportions while drawing in foreshortening?
btw this classes week helped me to think more about my drawing process and it made me definitely want to try drawing again, was like a sign 😭🙏
I have slept yet and looks like I'm not until I watch this
I'm not the only one that saw this on twitter right?
Nope
Whats twitter? 😉

May I ask how you decided the halftone for the skin? Just a darker and more saturated version of the her skin from the anime?
Marc sensei do you still use that model with the light coming from the chosen direction as refference even today?
Hey mark! I love your videos! I was wondering if you offer procreate brushes similar to your free PS brush pack.
Thank you!
DANDADANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNMMMMMMMNNNNNNN
Present!!!
and of course add a noise filter so it will look more professional
I like animation! ^^
Do you no longer work with greyscale value layers before colouring?
At 7:48 how did he manage to get those "lines" on the hand with the gradient. Those below the thumb or right of the middle finger below the index finger? Did he use a soft eraser or something? I can't get that effect to work using both clip studio's default or his brushes so its a skill issue on my part. If anyone could answer this I would be really thankful!
Nice one Marc, but I do not know how to apply the gradient 😂
just paint it with a soft brush! it's just to break up flat colors so it doesn't feel so.. flat
I wanted to see how you made the cool background :(
Nice and easy 👌
piece of cake :D
Hey Mark! what's your recommended canvas size when doing landscape and portrait?
