I love how when he talks, it's not: "so like, when you wanna draw dis thing, like, you do a line like that, and then like, TRY to make it like dis" and instead has a planned and scripted breakdown of the lesson and not just improvising like most art TH-camrs do.
Most art youtubers aren't professional artists. Teaching is also a practiced skill that I feel like a lot of artists seem to ignore and think they can just teach as easily as they can draw.(Just look at the endless supply of incredibly bad unscripted but affordable gumroad videos even from professional artists)
Proko, moderdayjames and even some of sinix design videos all are scripted, high quality art lessons. You should check them out. Also there's a lot of great art tips out there so....
"Intuitive" artists who try teaching that way deserve to be kicked If you can't put your process into words you can still be a good artist but you shouldn't pretend to be a teacher
This is one of the reasons TH-camrs like Marco or Proko and a few others stand out. Knowing what you want to say in advance is critical to making an educational video that's exciting and engaging rather than boring you to death. Lot of people make videos with the best of intentions, wanting to help, but ending up spending 15 minutes to explain something that should take 15 seconds.
@D.A. Botos This is a comment being added in during the recording. he is not drawing and speaking at the same time. And you are very quick to criticize him.
Honestly you are one of the best art instructors out there. This content is rich with so many good pieces of information, theory, and practical tips. Thank you for taking the time to share with us your knowledge.
There are many good artists in this world, but very few good teachers. You are blessed with both. Thankyou for being an awesome teacher. Love from India
Last June I opened this video to study character design. As you said that gesture, form and anatomy were important, I left character design classes aside and studied these items. Now, after almost a year and a half of studying, I'm here again and everything you said in this video makes more sense than before. Thank you so much for your inspiring and detailed lesson =)
@@laylajameel1836 I spent 2022 studying anatomy. In 2023 I started some silhouette studies, values and perspective observation studies. I feel that my arts have more personality and life now, because thanks to the foundations, I have greater creative freedom and am not dependent on references. I started studying Blender this month (March 2024) to model and get help with more complex work.
I started my digital painting journey in 2020 and your channel was one I happened to watch. Now I am getting into character design and again I am here.
oH mY GOSH for the first time i tried drawing with boxes to make things 3-d and EVERYTHING just came together like MAGIC!!! I knew i was missing SOMETHING but i never knew what!!!! THANK you!!!
Thank you dude! I’ve really been needing someone to go through and explain their process step by steplike this. It’s actually pretty unusual that someone does this, a lot of artist will speed paint at x1000 and talk about their process in a very abstract sense that feels more like a self-help guide for depression/anxiety but never really talk you through specific decisions they’re making and why. This was really useful to me.
So... I just got into drawing after 12 years. Been playing around for a few weeks and I’ve been...happy, and but felt locked into what I was doing. I didn’t feel any progress. The simple practice of line of action is so much fun and has improved my sketches immensely. In fact the line of action sketches are better than anything I’ve done in the past. My attempts always lacked emotion and movement. Now, There are stories within one picture. Thank you so much for this homework.
15:39 Proko is like an angel that fell from the sky and blessed us all around. That mad man made a series of the anatomy and structure of bones & muscles so good that it rivals the Breaking Bad universe and at the end you can't do anything but feel pain that Skelly isn't going to appear in future videos.
I gave up on art when I was 10. Thanks to lockdown and videos like these, I've realised how much of a mistake that was. Knowledge and practice will beat talent every time. 🙂 Thanks for letting me take back art.
Mr. Bucci: I have been watching your videos for a while, but kind of off and on. I came across your skillshare class (asaro head) and I thought it was the absolute best class on that website. I have watched that class like six times. And I often go back and study individual parts over and over again. I am honestly shocked to discover that the person who taught that class is YOU, the painter guy on TH-cam. You are an EXCELLENT teacher. It is delightful to discover that the two "great teachers" i stumbled across were actually the same person. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL CONTENT. Thank you!
*Man this is gold.* My fav works from Rembrandt to illustrators like John Buscema, Noel Sickles, are pencil / pen sketches. You can see the raw mastery, feeling. I prefer rough sketches over colorful, finished work. Please keep doing these drawing videos, loaded with insight / information.
I love how you comment on your drawing process! I haven't yet watched anyone doing this so well and detailed as you do. Most of the time, main principles will be explained but the character-BUILDING, the process, will not be explained. Great video! :D
Dude!! Why? I just took everything that I learned from Art School and threw it out the window. I learned more in 18 minutes. Priceless! You are a Master Instructor!!! Thank You!
I stopped drawing my own stuff years ago, my intuos pro is all dusty in her box. I have no idea why you was featured to me, but thanks god!!! Honestly, this simple 18miuntes video have at least 10 hours worth of lessons that I had to spend at least 100 hours to find with good instructions in the web!! If you're new to art, listen to this guy and do what he is teaching :D
Мне безумно нравятся Ваши рисунки. За эти два месяца, которые я смотрю Вас и Кениана Лафферти, мой уровень рисования невероятно возрос. Спасибо Вам, Марко. Thanks!
Hey Marco, long time clicker-of-your-videos - the brush you use for your gesture here at 00:53, what's the deal? I've seen a lot of people around artstation etc using what looks very similar, I can't really make out what is different about it. It looks almost like it's "doubled", or something. Thank you!
This is so great! I missed you, man. And I'm sure Proko appreciates the shoutout. He's definitely improved my anatomy understanding and is an amazing resource.
I AM CURENTLY IN CHARACTER DESIGN CLASS FOR MY 3D ANIMATION CARREER, PLEASE GIVE ME MORE!!! Seriously, this was one of the best videos i have ever since in my life about character design! take all my money Marco.
thanks a lot you are able to help those talented gifted ones who cannot afford to go to an art school to light themselves up! seriously u are an art God!... thanks a lot 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wow, i had just been studying character design and gesture drawing for the last couple weeks and this video just put everything into one neat package! I really hope to take these practices to make some convincing video game characters, in the mean time in off to practice! Thanks a ton for your teaching
Thank you!! Need more semi realism character design tutorials, so many are super cartoonish which just isn’t what I’m looking for. This is perfect thank you!!!
Thank you sir Marco! This will help me. My mind got rumbled of finding youtuber artist. Other youtubers are jumping lessons etc. Please continue to teach us! My goal is making character design realistic. My problem is painting and costumes garments etc.tryingvyo research things abt that
Thank you! Especially for showing your process from Gesture through Form. So many art vids I see start right on Form, but god that's hard to do unless you already know how to do it. Going from gesture through boxing in the silhouette was exactly what I needed to see to figure out what I need to do!
Watched a few of your videos, just subscribed because I realised I'd now watched several and enjoyed them all, click on your page to see what else you've done. >"upload 3 minutes ago" > Character Design Literally what I'm trying to specifically improve on at the moment, god fucking bless.
Great video! Interesting how you started with the gesture. I’ve typically started with the sillohuette just to feel out the shape language and sillohuette, but I definitely have been working in a more cartoony style. Inner starting with the gesture is a great way to feel out the acting/ expression range of the character. I’ll be sure to try this approach on my next project!
Your lessons are always amazing. There are so many valuable information and i like the way you deliver it - clearly and get straight to the point. Thank you so much for provide us such awesome videos. I'm really really grateful !
I watch a LOT of drawing tutorials. This has to be one of the most in depth and informative ones I've ever seen! I cannot believe you're just giving this away for free?!
C'mon, do you HAVE to be this good!? lol I love your teaching, been getting my mind blown by the content on your Skillshare recently (including the course on drawing the head you mentioned on this video)! thanks for sharing all this!
Great video! I would like to see people watching the drawings and paintings being made just as they watch a movie, a musical show or play ... and obviously paying for it in the same way. I mean, not just us designers looking for improvement.
Thank you this was super super helpful ! I did concept art at uni for 4 years and I think I learned more in this video than I did the 4 years I was there 😅
As I was watching the development of the character, I had some thoughts: Why would a guy that big, need to hold the sword (looks like a katana) with two hands? I liked the imposing aspect of the character. Love how you approach the design from the energy and essence of the character. so motivating.
This video is amazing! I started using some of the rough drafts in the beginning for inspiration and created my own art style! It is perfect because of this! Thanks so much!

1:50 was literally the smoothest transition in all of TH-cam
You need to watch @LinusTechTips then. Linus is the king of sponsor segues.
Yes.
These 3 videos taught me more about character design than anything I've seen before, it feels like a steal to watch it for free

I've seen a lot of people around artstation etc using what looks very similar, I can't really make out what is different about it. It looks almost like it's "doubled", or something. Thank you!
That's a great idea. Creators don't normally do things like that.
I'm on the app. If I try to join, it does it on the web and wants me to create a new account. Seems to not recognize that I already have one.
Figured out how to get in. :)
Thank you so much marco there are so many videos on TH-cam that skip these topics.
You are just awesome. Not many people can make such engaging and insightful videos about art. It's clear you put a lot of thought into these.
This is so great! I missed you, man. And I'm sure Proko appreciates the shoutout. He's definitely improved my anatomy understanding and is an amazing resource.

wow I was searching for something like this for months!!
FANTASTIC workflow and insights.
DUDE thank you SO much! You have opened my eyes to the general art style that I wanted, the S's and C's for sketches has helped me sooooo much!
I just learnt about silhouettes the other day, rewatching drawing vids always helps
Absolutely loved this tutorial, Marco. Thanks a lot! Looking forward to the following parts.
This is honestly teaching me more in less time than I ever paid for in art school.
I watch a LOT of drawing tutorials. This has to be one of the most in depth and informative ones I've ever seen! I cannot believe you're just giving this away for free?!
as someone starting to learn how to draw, this is pure gold. Thanks a lot for your work
Nice work, Marco!
the best of youtube that really help us with quality videos.., love you man, ty so much
these are so helpful! As someone who is learning art at home, videos like these are hard to come by!
I am so so glad I clicked on this video, I learned so many new interesting things!
This video is unbelievably good, so much knowledge and workflow compressed into 18 minutes! Many thanks Marco!
This was one of the best art videos I have ever seen
Just found this video and it proved to be really helpful. It's crisp and well-explained. Loved it! Gonna try this out. Thank you so much!!!! ❤️
Just found this channel and it feels like I stumbled upon a goldmine!
Your timing is so wonderfully perfect
you describe every step wonderful and it's so helpful
Who else liked the video before they watched it? We just know Marco delivers don’t we?
Omg im shook how smooth the transition between you drawing and to wix.com
One of the most informative character design videos I've ever seen, really good stuff.
That Wix ad got me sold.
C'mon, do you HAVE to be this good!? lol I love your teaching, been getting my mind blown by the content on your Skillshare recently (including the course on drawing the head you mentioned on this video)! thanks for sharing all this!
1:45 I think that's absolutely a work of art
These videos are pure gold. Well done.
Wow Marco. You´re undoubtedly the best art teacher i´ve ever seen. Congratulations!
out of all the tutorials ive seen this the best one so far
what a perfect guide to character design :) thank you
Super hyped for this!!
Really loved the tutorial, helped me understand a lot. Waiting for part 2 eagerly.
Great video!
I would like to see people watching the drawings and paintings being made just as they watch a movie, a musical show or play ... and obviously paying for it in the same way. I mean, not just us designers looking for improvement.
As an aspiring character designer I have to say this a million times, Thank you!
Thanks !
This helped me for a short film project i am working on
Thank you this was super super helpful ! I did concept art at uni for 4 years and I think I learned more in this video than I did the 4 years I was there 😅
great explanations and good speed throughout, easy to take in quickly without watching a 5 hour video. Also i'll watch your 5 hour vids :)
Ive never seen a better design video
As I was watching the development of the character, I had some thoughts: Why would a guy that big, need to hold the sword (looks like a katana) with two hands? I liked the imposing aspect of the character. Love how you approach the design from the energy and essence of the character. so motivating.
Alternative for the Asaro head: applications such as Handy and Pose tool 3D, you can set up pretty much any lighting situation, has planar view so on.
I've watched alot of TH-cam artists and tutorials, and your content is absolutely outstanding!!!! I very much appreciate it
I'm very grateful for your work on those tutorials!
Thank you wix.com for sponsoring this video.
Indeed!
We love you Marco Bucci:)
This video is amazing! I started using some of the rough drafts in the beginning for inspiration and created my own art style! It is perfect because of this! Thanks so much!
