Don't worry, my friend. I am almost 32 and I just watched Arcane last weekend with my partner. I LOVED it. It has no right to be that good lmao. But it's SO DANG GOOD!
UMMMMMM THIS GUY LITERALLY GAVE US A: -painting lesson and theory concepts -how to use blender -how to paint using 2D into 3D structures THIS IS INSANE I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO DO ANY OF THIS BUT I WANNA LEARN IT ALL WOWOOWOWOWW SO IS THIS HOW THEY DO IT IN THE SHOW AT 16:25, “2D BACKGROUND” WITH 3D CHARACTERS WOWOW THANK YOU FOR THIS
16:37 finally, an actual good take on using 3d models in 2d art. im tired of people calling it cheating while others know its value and use it *consciously* in their work but never take the time to explain for those who dont *why* and *when* to use it.

@@Valkyomi What I mean is some tools will allow someone without skill to cut corners and develop bad habits. Someone who relies on tracing can develop a great understanding of light and value but lack actual drawing skills. Some tattooers are good examples of that, some can't draw well but can recreate what they see perfectly if given a solid outline.
@@cal5750 That's not how it works, for some people(like me) manually sketching a piece from scratch isboring and exhaustive. To me, I just wanna render out the ideas into art as fast as i can, I dont care what method or tool i use. Like almost every other artist, i started with traditional art, very tedious and time consuming, then i switched to digital sketching, much more enjoyable but still tedious enough as it is. As time went by, i still kept looking for better and faster ways to bring my ideas out into reality, until i discovered 3D. Now I've correct balanced workflow for my art. I dont care about my skills in sketching a character from scratch, all i care about is having the character i want in my piece. It's not about whether you can draw a face or not, its about the final artwork.
you just did a blender tutorial in a few minutes with such clarity that I learned more than watching hour long tutorials. your teaching skills are seriously underrated
I have been waiting for someone to make a video like this and seeing this coming from you, the only one who helped me get so much better at art, just made me sOO happyy!!!
In this short tutorial, you made the best and most cohesive Blender background modeling tutorial I have ever seen. I couldn't stand those 30 minutes long videos teaching you how to make a basic sphere. You go straight to the point, as always. Thanks a lot Marco :)
Probably one of the best take on the artstyle of arcane. Ive always been interested in making a realistic style but also having that anime look too, so when i saw arcane... I was amazed. Every shot is perfect, the paint and the blending of characters and the background is on point. Im downloading blender right now, and from what ive seen in your video, I think it would help me with my backgrounds since i struggle in making sketches of it even though i have a clear idea of what i wanted too make.
Little fun fact about the show: They actually used a lot of traditional painting, so analog not digital, and projected those as textures on the 3D models. It would be really cool Marco, if you could show us that, too.
"Cheating" seems like a powerful indictment for incorporating additional skills. None of us are cheating for using digital media and thus not needing to learn how to mix pigments or understand how color changes as various types of media dries or cures.
I've always said digital and traditional artwork are created very differently and one should learn how to do BOTH. Why? Because one day, you might need to create something and not have the access to technology, internet, or electricity. Or vice versa. The fact is, [ctrl]+[z] is a crutch. I dare you to draw something with a brush pen only. No pencil. No eraser. No [ctrl]+[z]. Just confidence. You can throw a crutch traditional artists suffer from at me if you want to! I'm just saying both are great. Painting/Drawing/Sculpting, in general, are all disciplines. They command respect to get anything out of it. Refuse to respect it, then you won't grow, right? I love what you said. It just provoked thoughts in me. I mean no offense and come in peace! I promise. ☺
its only one frame, imagine making a whole 9episode consists of 40+ mins each episode, really props to the animation team of Arcane they really did an amazing job on making this show possible
Just wanted to learn the Arcane painting style and it definitely helped me on some things and because of you, I've now learnt how to use Blender. This channel is just godlike just like the artist himself. Thank you!
My brain is tingling from all the good information your feeding it. It’s ridiculous how many TH-cam videos I’ve watched trying to learn something about art and nothing had helped me more than your videos and it’s not even close.. your the best! also love this show
BRO, seriously i click for the arcane artstyle study, i stay for the blender tutorial. Never in my life as an artist was interest in 3d modelling since i thought "it's hard" "only 3d artists use them" and "my laptop is shit" (which it is). Now not do only understand and appreciate 3d modelling, now I want to do it myself and learn! fr this video is a blessing in disguise and not only for art studies.
Just wanted to say *congrats on reaching exactly half a million subscribers :D* Also, these painting tips are INCREDIBLY valuable, thank you ever so much for constantly providing the art community with your wisdom.
As someone who is trying to learn blender for character modeling, why was this more informative than ANY actual character modeling tutorials I've ever seen. Like seriously thank you, you've taught me more about blender and basic tools/shortcuts than any other blender video I've ever watched and I've spent countless hours watching blender tutorials
"I wonder how much this new laptop is!" Marco: "It uses Wacom technology" "Oh, ok so ALL of my money, then?" 😂 I absolutely love your teaching style. Thanks for your generosity in being willing to share knowledge like this for free. :)
I am drooling over this PC but I think 4k$ is a tad too much for my budget as of now. But I have been working on a Samsung book for 2 years now and it uses wacom technology for around 1k$, veeeery portable, very light, I even attached my old Razer Orbweaver that I used to play LoL, and that covers my need for all the shortcuts I could wish, making the workflow a breeze. It's of course less powerful in terms of graphic drivers and processors and so on, but still an amazing tool for a professional artist like me, within a budget that, while not negligible, is less than 1/3 for an amazing tool. Just sayin', if you maybe have such a budget and wish to work digitally as smoothly as possible.
Excellent painting tutorial with emphasis on the real big ideas with refined, economic explanation, _And an accessible introduction to Blender with marvellous results!_ Grade A as always, thanks Marco!
I was literally thinking when someone would make a video about this topic, and surprise surprise, its Marco Bucci, I love you man, your videos inspired me to try something new, Im 22 and have been drawing since I was 10 but I only drew black and white characters with only one pose, but when I bought my first tablet and thought id draw the same thing over and over, your videos opened my eyes with the joys of color and the art I could learn to create, now after half of your videos I finally am confident drawing with color and more motivated when it comes to drawing, I love you and thank you for the content, you make us newbies open our eyes.
This has just given me the digital art insights I wanted and the Blender refresher I needed. You're an awesome teacher as you are an awesome artist! Merry Christmas, Marco! ^^
Marco = not at all old. Also, I find it entertaining when you say, “I’m just scribbling in some...” and then proceed to draw and paint a masterpiece. Thanks for another great video, Marco!
So much useul info!! Also, I did not expect a mini /starter blender tutorial but it is the most welcomed, you make it look so approachable ahah Thank you so much for sharing, you're such an amazing teacher!
If I never watched Arcane I wouldn’t have found this study and I’m so happy because normal Blender tutorials are super confusing but you explain everything really well, so thank you!
Arcane viewer: this art style is so unique and revolutionary dishonored, borderlands, telltale, transistor, or any of the under appreciated indie titles and projects that don’t get the same amount of love from a multi million dollar studio: 👁👃👁
Some tips : You can render different passes in Blender which can speed up and simplify the process a ton ! For example the Crytomatter Pass, gives a different color for each object/materials so that you can just use the magic wand and select that color, eventually selecting that particular object without have to manually selecting and lassoing :) Another example is the mist pass which can help you add fog very easily in photoshop... Another passes include ambient occlusion which could help me add shadoes and AO directly in photoshop without manual painting ... Hope you guys find something helpful :) Have a creative day :)
This just came up on my youtube recommended - I'm not an artist or into drawing or painting in any way, but wow. You really have a knack for explaining complex things in a simple way. I never understood how people know how to do shadows in art or blend things or when to put lines (i DO do art, but collageing, video editing... not this medium. i tried and failed) but you break it down in a way that makes it easy to understand and that it's attainable. You've earned yourself a new fan today and I look forward to bingeing your old work and to seeing what you do next.
to be honest with you , in my head your the bob ross of digital painting , just the way you talk and appreciate art and shapes and design choices just makes me more excited and interested in art . i am watching you head studies from skill share and you even make an anatomy class which is usually boring super easy to understand and exciting to watch . i thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your great great great art tutorials ,❤
On the readability study at 6:47 The Rim light also tells the viewer about the emotions of the characters. Vi (Left) has a rim light that contrasts her shadows. It makes her pop. She is in the scene deliberately and attention is being put on her. Meanwhile Jinx also has a rim light, but it is put on the light side of her, while the shadowy side has values similar to the background. It signals that she wants to hide, is closed off and wishes to blend into the scene.
I'm laughing here alone because I'm taking a Blender course right now and you've explained the basics of movement + shortcuts way better and quicker. To factor that I didn't even expect a Blender minicourse here in the video. And also thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
I watched first 5 minutes of this video and was like- wow, I'm so happy I found a video like this! And minute by minute I was even more impressed, you talked about so many things, even blender- thank you!
Literally jumped in excitement when i saw this uploaded, ive been wanting to study arcane bc the planes for the faces are such a great reference! Thank u sm for this ur videos are always educational and helpful!! 😍💗
I gotta say that your videos make me look at what I'm doing and realize a lot of the stuff I do wrong in painting fairly often, it's a great shortcut to have things pointed out to you instead of having to paint for hours and hours then suddenly go "Oh, wait, this is why I'm doing this part wrong" Keep making the amazing videos
ive been generally unsure about what kind of art field i want to go into for so long, but this show really settled it for me. i want to create characters as amazing as these someday, and i promise i will!!
bro ive been trying to learn blender for like 3+ years and this unlocked a lot of stuff in my brain. basic functions i should have understood but didnt
Honestly this video us so useful it even tells us soo much about storytelling. If you replace light and dark with good and evil you can clearly tell how its a visual aid for a greater purpose.
This is an amazing video and now I might just have to get blender, although I'm sure using 3d assets from clip paint studio is also somewhat effective. I do want to say I hate the concept of "cheating" in art. For me, taking advantage of the tool sets given to you doesn't make you a "cheater". They are just tools, no matter how many references, 3d models, or etc you have, it won't turn out well if you don't have the fundamentals down. We have the technology, why not use it? Maybe it's more impressive if you don't need these tools, but I'd rather use these tools and have something more accurate while being more time efficient than trying to do it alone. Because the only reason I'd figure you'd do it without a tool set is either: a) you went so long without it that you feel more efficient without it or b) you hold some artificial pride and think that using tools makes you "less of an artist". Which it absolutely doesn't and I genuinely don't think that's the perspective many people in those fields feel either. So please, don't feel discouraged to use tools that could honestly improve not only your work, but your skill too.
Thank you for this amazing video! Accessible and articulate, so even a beginner digital painter like me can understand and feel inspired by it. Really excited to try some studies now.
I had given up hope of finding an Artist's Guide to Blender of sorts, and I didn't expect to find it in this video, but lo and behold! Thank you for the brilliant tutorial, as always!
I just clicked this for fun and intrigued with the style but Blender was a surprise there! It's not a shame to do 3D if you cant make it on 2D. besides, that's what technology is for, to make your work easier. I'm gonna learn this one when I get my new PC~ Thank you Marco!
i've been wanting to draw some backgrounds inspired by arcane because honestly that show was a source of inspiration for me, it made me so EAGER to draw and that hasn't happened in a long time. then i went to my subs tab and found your video and it was like a gift from heaven because i was wondering how could i paint in this style, so thank you so so much
Great tutorial, I'm getting into digital painting as a last chance of getting good at painting after years of only being good at sketching and 3d. This was really good help thank you
thanks for the vid i love it, when i first saw arcane is was instantly asking my self how the style works and what is made with 3d renders and what is drawn and ur video realy made me understand it a bit
Thanks for the little blender tutorial, I actually learned how to make character models in blender last month and have been wondering on how I could use my blender knowledge to make backgrounds for art!
I started watching your videos and I'm actually learning a lot. I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into your content. As an artist, you are being super helpful. So thank you a lot!
I think your videos and drawings are amazing, even I don't understand anything about what you're talking about (because I'm Brazilian and I'm using Google translator to write this) I love your channel :)
I finally watched Arcane so I'm also watching this video. Thank God you were doing this on a ConceptD laptop, because Acer made it so hard to find reviews and artist usage of this laptop.
What a banger of a breakdown vid~! I have been thinking about using blender for a lot of the backgrounds in the graphic novels my wife and I are planning, and now having seen you break the process apart like that, I'm sold~!

This style of drawing reminded me of Breathe of the Wild
I know this is an arcane study but it was also hands down the best and most comprehensive blender tutorial I've ever seen. Keep up the good work!!
there are also shortcuts like shift+a to add meshes and others you can look into to help speed things up later on when you master the program. :D

bro ive been trying to learn blender for like 3+ years and this unlocked a lot of stuff in my brain. basic functions i should have understood but didnt
Honestly this video us so useful it even tells us soo much about storytelling. If you replace light and dark with good and evil you can clearly tell how its a visual aid for a greater purpose.
This is why I recommend your channel to all my artist friends
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS AND THANK GOD IT WAS YOU
This is an amazing video and now I might just have to get blender, although I'm sure using 3d assets from clip paint studio is also somewhat effective. I do want to say I hate the concept of "cheating" in art. For me, taking advantage of the tool sets given to you doesn't make you a "cheater". They are just tools, no matter how many references, 3d models, or etc you have, it won't turn out well if you don't have the fundamentals down. We have the technology, why not use it? Maybe it's more impressive if you don't need these tools, but I'd rather use these tools and have something more accurate while being more time efficient than trying to do it alone. Because the only reason I'd figure you'd do it without a tool set is either: a) you went so long without it that you feel more efficient without it or b) you hold some artificial pride and think that using tools makes you "less of an artist". Which it absolutely doesn't and I genuinely don't think that's the perspective many people in those fields feel either. So please, don't feel discouraged to use tools that could honestly improve not only your work, but your skill too.
Thank you for this amazing video! Accessible and articulate, so even a beginner digital painter like me can understand and feel inspired by it. Really excited to try some studies now.
I had given up hope of finding an Artist's Guide to Blender of sorts, and I didn't expect to find it in this video, but lo and behold! Thank you for the brilliant tutorial, as always!
OMG THIS STUDY IS JUST WOW, WHERE IS YOUR MILLION OF FOLLOWERS? YOU DESERVE IT MAN. PLUS YOUR VOICE IS SENSATIONAL I REALLY DO LOVE YOUR CONFIDENCE 😍✨
I just clicked this for fun and intrigued with the style but Blender was a surprise there! It's not a shame to do 3D if you cant make it on 2D. besides, that's what technology is for, to make your work easier. I'm gonna learn this one when I get my new PC~ Thank you Marco!
easily the best art techer on youtube
HE SAID IT WAS COMING AND IT'S HERE! Early Christmas present.
I know nothing about art, but I love Arcane. This video was pretty awesome and quite fascinating.
i've been wanting to draw some backgrounds inspired by arcane because honestly that show was a source of inspiration for me, it made me so EAGER to draw and that hasn't happened in a long time. then i went to my subs tab and found your video and it was like a gift from heaven because i was wondering how could i paint in this style, so thank you so so much
Oh my gosh, what an underrated channel. So glad i found you. Bouta binge watch some vids
That was one of the most useful videos on Blender I've ever seen. Simple, concise, understandable. Brilliant! Thank you:)
man really managed to fit a 3d-2d tutorial with all the basics in in one 20-minute video
That lightning-fast basic Blender tutorial, woww!
Great tutorial, I'm getting into digital painting as a last chance of getting good at painting after years of only being good at sketching and 3d. This was really good help thank you
Ahah yesss ! sso happy it came out. I'm one of the people who bothered you on instagram asking for an analyzis of the show ! :)
thanks for the vid i love it, when i first saw arcane is was instantly asking my self how the style works and what is made with 3d renders and what is drawn and ur video realy made me understand it a bit
I want to like this video like 100x times! Thanks, Marco!
That's an amazing drawing. I'm a new to the channel here and I was not expecting a blender tutorial thrown in there, but this made me want to try it.
Thanks for the little blender tutorial, I actually learned how to make character models in blender last month and have been wondering on how I could use my blender knowledge to make backgrounds for art!
Thank you so much!!! I've been wanting to paint my friends in arcane style Im so glad this video exist
I started watching your videos and I'm actually learning a lot. I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into your content. As an artist, you are being super helpful. So thank you a lot!
I came here for the arcane artstyle and now Im saving this for the amazing blender tutorial lol thank you!!
Arcane AND new Marco video!?? best Christmas gift !!! ahhhhhh 🤩🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉✨
I think your videos and drawings are amazing, even I don't understand anything about what you're talking about (because I'm Brazilian and I'm using Google translator to write this) I love your channel :)
@@absolutezippo7542 Yes, I try to make drawings even though it doesn't work out well ksksk. I am so happy and grateful for your kind comment!
Me who knows nothing about art:
“YESSSS FINALLY AN ARCANE ART HOW TO VIDEO!”
I finally watched Arcane so I'm also watching this video. Thank God you were doing this on a ConceptD laptop, because Acer made it so hard to find reviews and artist usage of this laptop.
What a banger of a breakdown vid~! I have been thinking about using blender for a lot of the backgrounds in the graphic novels my wife and I are planning, and now having seen you break the process apart like that, I'm sold~!
