"The darkest light is lighter than the lightest shadow" are so simple words but honestly the most important thing when it comes to values. Truly understanding this concept improves every painting a lot.
why do i feel like this is a riddle
@@woelad1422 i feel like it needs to be translated to english
About specifically WHY does halftones always lies closer to light than shadows(I always thought it will be exactly halfway between)
*Lightest dark darker than darkest light
What the hell does that even mean
I’m just commenting to advocate in favor of marco’s head class. It’s so incredibly worth it, I feel like watching this after having studied his class adds a whole new dimension of appreciation for the subject. Thanks for putting so much incredible knowledge out, Marco, you’re saving the dreams of a lot of artists who won’t have access to formal education
Thank you, Drids!
nice
@@marcobucci Hey there, i just got your head class and i agree it was extremely well done, i could already paint faces decently but this really rounded out my knowledge and brought me to that next level of understanding.
I was wondering if a similar class for body anatomy was in the works, because it's more of a weak point for me, and i'd love to buy one!
I should add that, while you can approach virtually any painting using these value groups, this is not the only value system out there, nor is it an exhaustive list in and of itself. For instance, highlights are not included in this lesson (I plan to do an entire lesson on them in the future.)
ALSO - At 5:16 I began discussing that value group using the term 'Ambient Light.' Then midway through I switched the term to 'Reflected Light'. My bad. To clarify: they are the same thing!
Thanks for watching, and happy painting :)
Thanks 😇 it was helpful 👍
Your videos are all very helpful, I have also purchased your head drawing course and it is awesome. Can you also do a video about how you measure a face and draw an accurate portrait? Thanks😄😄
I love these videos, they are so helpful!
So glad you touched on this technique! I've used it for quite a while in my portrait work but I don't think I've ever heard it discussed this thoroughly! The closest I've seen someone else come to broaching the subject is when Jeff Watts talks about "Shadow mapping"!
One way that I learned, and that helps keep your light and dark families separate, is 'middle-out' instead of 'outside-in': block in with the lightest dark and darkest light values, and keep them at least 1 or 2 value steps apart. Then work up to the lightest areas and down to the darkest ones, and save those 1 or 2 steps you reserved *just* for those places where you might need to transition the lights into the darks more softly.
I've been a professional illustrator for 8 years now, and I think this is the most clear breakdown and demonstration I have seen of how to practically handle lighting.
Thank you, this will definitely make me more considerate of my lighting.
I clicked, heard his voice And became very happy
why is so
Holy shit yooo it’s SauceBucket here lmao just starting digital and need to binge these
Hi coen
0:15 seconds in and I’m already mad at how good he is
The clear communication, the logical process and the overall quality of these videos are what make you the best painting teacher. TH-cam it's full of people explaining values, but the concept never really clicked until I saw your videos. Thanks !
That's great encouragement, thank you!
What an insane amount of info packed tightly enough to view while on my lunch break
I learned a lot more by watching your videos than I learned in art school in 5 years. Your videos are brilliantly done and your art is gorgeous. As an italian art student, I can say with certainty that we need much more teachers like you in our country, Marco.
In a almost related topic: I wanted to recommend to all of people struggling with values and colors that Windows 10, let you put the screen in grayscale (Windows+Ctrl+C) This will help you to see the values in your works if this have colors.
Thank you very much Mister Marco! I'm practicing this and i'm getting better faster than i tought.
An incredible demo. Marco is a great guy. I purchased a few of his lectures and emailed him about a problem and he responded and fixed my problem within 20minutes. I can't say enough about him. Thanks Marco!
You're the best on TH-cam right now, thank you for your lessons. I've been watching for a few years now and it's always teaching me new things! ❤️
I'm thankful for lessons speaking about Values! It feels rare to find the workflow or methods others have used to do value studies or come to understand them
Yeah, Marco's Asaro Head class is mindbogglingly helpful
here's a hint: Skillshare trial month. your very welcome.
Marco, you are the best!!! Thank you for breaking the value structure down to manageable steps.
Thank you for breaking down value into such clear and digestible parts. Been working on a portrait that needs exactly this adjustment.
Thank youuu! I seriously love your content. I've been improving faster than my usual pace since I started getting into your channel.
Your videos are an absolute godsend, this is exactly what I needed. I’m able to replicate photos pretty well but don’t have a good understanding of values or forms or anything it’s only something I’m starting to learn and your videos are simple enough to be able to apply to my work but include a lot of valuable information, thank you!!
You are such an incredible teacher. I am a hobbyist artist trying to improve my composition and painting and your tutorials and lessons have done wonders for me! Thank you so much for these videos!
thank you Marco!I think that you're might be the best teacher on the internet,I have all your skillshare videos and I watched all your TH-cam videos through and through,and i can safely say that there is really no one teacher like you in the world!i wanted to tell you that for a long time drawing felt stale to me but you brought back the joy I had in it as a kid(my eyes are actually welling as I write this)keep it up man,you're amazing!
Thank you Marco Bucci for making such wonderful videos ! Your time and effort is highly appreciated !
i purchased this course a while ago and i am currently doing the 100 heads drawing challenge. after every head I try to find my mistakes or see what I am struggling with the most. Then I go back to watch your course. I already improved a lot just by doing this! Thank you for this amazing course!
Can't believe this, just when I was looking for more content on values and thought I've seen it all - seems like the Universe is on my side for once, in the endless struggle for improvement :D Thank you for the great content Marco.
Thanks Marco, you may have just saved me a year worth of experience to understand this concept. I never really understood value painting and how professional artists have a way to interpret tones in simple black and white alone.
This is JUST the video I needed right now, thanks again Marco! Your content is invaluable
All of this! Thanks! - I do this all the time with my paintings and also with my photos. I learned from black and white photography to draw lika a camera. The Tone Curve is my best friend. It helped me a lot!
nice to see u here!!
Du hier? :D
I've heard these terms before so many times, but they're finally starting to click. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for the new lesson!
Both "creativity and the campfire" and "Understanding and painting the head" have been very helpful.
Especially "creativity and the campfire". It calms me down everytime I feel lost.
True. Creativity and the Camfire needs more recognition.
Same here when im going through an art block or having bad time im college i listen to the book just to help! If you really liked marco's booki suggest watching Steven Zapata on TH-cam! He's really calming makes the audience focus in the moment of drawing!
Thanks for the demo Marc! Really helpful when it's all put together!
Marco, you have been delivery great art videos for years. Easy to follow, easy to understand which leads to applying much faster to personal work we do.
I am going to give the Video head lesson a try.
Edit: Purchased. I will support you. Thank you.
Hey, thank you so much! I've been working on studying this sort of lighting lessons but this video summed it all up so nicely for me! I've got to watch this again!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us ♡ you are one of my favorites TH-cam art teachers.
Many viewers wrote this, but you are definitely the best teacher of this field on youtube. My honest congratulations ! And thank you.
This is amazing! I was just looking for something like as a form of practice. Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation.
Currently struggling with values. This helped a lot.
I’m so freaking glad I found your channel. Your teaching r so clear!!!!
This video is so VALUEable~ 😮💨 but for real, one of the first videos who actually explains while are being applied in a painting, and everything so well explained! 🥹✨
Best explanation on how to approach definition of form. Great work.
I always felt like my studies got a bit mushy when I added half-tones but what you said about keeping them in their respective families makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Thanks Marco🙏🏻This was super informative. You made understanding planes and value so easy. Very much appreciated.
I love your tutorials! Thanks for making this!!! Very clear and useful !
That was, THE THING I needed, I´m still trugling a little bit with applying color values to the pice, but thats a matter of pratice, Thanks a lot Marco!
Excellent Marco, these videos just rock!
I am getting that course for sure!!!!!!
this is so helpful! I feel like I learned more from this video than from years studying at art college
I paint alot lately and this kind of breakdown really help me alot ,Thanks Marco.
Great stuff Marco
Thank you Marco! it's a pleasure!
Amazing video bro and i picked up drawing after like 25 years and learning a lot from video's like this so big thumbs up and hope to see more video's about value.
Best art teacher ever! Thank you for saving my life
Super helpful! Thanks a lot Marco
Your videos are just always so helpful. You make me want to pick up my stylus and draw everytime you upload.
Super informative! Love this breakdown as it simplifies the thought process and makes it less daunting.
Thank you so much Marco! You are amazing
drawing the head was a struggle for me, and it wasn't sketching a hundred loomis heads that got me over that hump, but Marco Bucci's planes of the head course. something about knowing each plane and which planes should be foreshortened or hidden, really turned the head into a 3D object that I could visualize in my mind.
Great job my friend!,thank you so much for this!,I will sure buy your head class as soon as I can afford it,thank you again!
Great video! And I loved the fact that you used a 3D program to interactively demonstrate the concept of half-tones.
Very informative. Thanks for this!
-"Oh cool, a painting of Neytiri!" was my first thought when I saw the thumbnail.
Nice vid. This is so different from how I usually paint (starting with mapping the volumes, shade the ambient occlusion & then add the light source depending on other aspects of the scene to complete composition). One thing that's similar though, is I'm also obsessed with Asaro head. Sometimes I start the day by drawing it from various angles. I recently sculpted a female Asaro head too. I suggest everyone make or buy one. It's totally worth it
I followed this video step by step trying to replicate that portrait - it's a far cry from your work, but I learned a lot! I love the structured approach :)
wonderful video. I'm sure that this helped more than just me. Thank you!!
You have no idea the perfect moment in my learning journey that this video arrives.
You are the best Marco. Your amazing clarity of ideas and unpaired teaching skills make it a pleasure to learn from your videos.
Is it possible to purchase the video lessons from your website for someone else?
I am in Argentina and economically things are in a bit of a stir. Conversion of foreign currency is being limited and taxed so I would lose a hefty percent in the exchange.
If one of my freelance clients in the US could purchase it for me, it would be really helpful.
He can use your account for transition may be
Just exchange the account, i have heard about the horrible taxation in foreign countries.
Lucky me living in Hong Kong :)
This is fantastic!
This is one of those things on the internet that one truly feels lucky to have run across in a sea of things. 🙏🏼
Honestly, you're probably the biggest reason why I've stuck with art.
new marco bucci vid hypeeeee
always great teaching and made it simple to understand!!
clear and concise. great as usual!
You make it sound so easy! 😊
mr bucci, your vidos are so informative, yet so simple, and your way of clarifying the picture is sublime. you have my upmost respect dear sir :p
i really beleive your channel will keep growing and growing because it is what you deserve. keep up the beatiful work👌
Very helpful video, thanks for sharing the knowledge
Excellent video. Thanks.
Thank you so much! Great video.
These videos are the best! Thanks for share your knowledge
i have always struggled to understand lighting, but your explanations always just click somehow. thank you so much for providing these videos for free!
This is beautiful
Thank you so much for this Marco
YES FINALLY SOMEONE EXPLAINS IT IN A WAY I UNDERSTAND, I just watched this and the ambient occlusion series
i was getting sick of people explaining like "ahhh its intuitive, i cant really explain it to you". Please, this was beautifully explained right here and know I realize some of the tutorials id been following for light and shade are very one sided, ie, don't really get into the details of causation, and how different hue strengths have different weights and therefore different "mileage" in ambient shadows, absolutely brilliant, I definitely understand them now, brain is lighting up like Jimmy Neutron, thank you for making this
This is very helpful. Thank you
I know ambient occlusion for more than a decade - 3D software stuf. Yet I saw one designer talking about a fast rendering approach taking into acount just AOC - But just today it rings the bell. I think I´ve never used it in my charcoal pencil drawings. I´ll keep an eye on it.
Thanks bro!
Thank U, God Bless you, you are one of my fav artist that give tutorials :D
Amazing video as always! Small nitpick: the work at 1:24 is actually N.C. Wyeth's work for Treasure Island.
You're my hero! You have just saved me hours of searching for the right artist, so I thank you for your "small nitpick"!
I have been trying to figure this out! Thank you!!!
I just fought for my life at a portrait of the ole lady and this technique made magic happen. First try at this fourth painting this month just got motivated to persue a worthwhile hobby
Another super-informative tutorial from an expert instructor🙂
thank you so much!! that is so helpful! and that painting looks beautiful!
I'm learning so much from you , thank you .
