Thanks Marc! Will be leaving my notes here so I can find them later.

1. Copy what you see (whether real life or photo reference, just do your best representing it)
2. Study what you copied (study the fundamentals, learn more about what you just drew. anatomy? perspective? color theory? look into it, educate yourself, find the answers to the questions you likely had while copying)
3. Draw from imagination

Instead of seeing and copying, you can observe better and take in more information and you have studied relevant theory, so you can construct drawings with solid structure instead of just copying.

Repeat. When drawing anything for which you have more experience:

News steps:
1. Construct what you observe (observing is more than seeing. there's an analysis to the process now since you know more about the theory. you can understand what you see better)
2. Study the fundamentals of what you observed (instead of copied)
3. Practice from imagination

Repeat until Art God. Ez.

State of mind (how good you are at focusing): MOTIVATION
1. Urgency: Well-researched fundamental of learning. Makes everything you learn stick a lot better.
- Learn with the intent to teach.
- Publicly announce you're working on a project
- A bet
- Setting a clear goal for yourself on schedule
2. Study DELIBERATELY
- Study w/o distractions
- You can have music on for creation process, but when STUDYING ART, no phone, no music, avoid all distractions
- Study with structure (you need a curriculum to follow from simpler to more complex notions)
3. Pareto Principle (80/20 rule)
- 80% outcomes caused by 20% of causes
- 20% of theory allows you to create 80% of what you can imagine
- So focus of learning and practicing what will give you the most results

ART FUNDAMENTALS:
- Construction
- Perspective
- Gesture
- Anatomy
- Design
- Color and light theory
- Composition
- Storytelling

Don't get lost of details that have very little impact on end result. Focus on few skills that will allow you to do the MOST.

It's not always obvious what 20% of study will give you your 80%, but it's such an important thing to try to find out if you want to get better faster and working less. Often looks like ignoring extreme cases like complicated poses or perspectives in favor of subjects you are most likely to draw frequently, like neutral poses, simple perspectives, character construction and getting good at that first before moving onto more complicated things.

Unfortunatly the urgency one does not apply to me because I frequently freeze if I have this kind of demand, but the rest is great! Specially the observing techniques.

[hatdogngnanaymo]

i love how marc is still super humble even tho he’s such a pro

[anubisgodess]

I'm starting to get back into the fundamentals of my drawings it's a little annoying but I know I have to so watching this will hopefully help me to just be a little faster.

[FeministCatwoman]

I have a full time job and very very little time to practice like I want. Often I am exhausted and simply don't have the time to do it every single day for hours. These videos are absolutely invaluable to me! Thank you!

[kaizze]

When it comes to anatomy I force myself to "construct" the boxes first then place the landmarks, then connect them all. This way I can draw pretty much accurate to the subject especially I. Life drawing sessions.

What I really try to avoid is to just "draw" I always end up with a deformed alien 👽

[eliasdemeyer]

Ah yes, we all have that sometimes that a little version of yourself sits on your shoulder and tries to tell everything you want to say before you.
Beautiful intro again😂😂

[lune]

Anyone noticed that he drew her other arm behind her back but still drew the hand. What a legend.

[lovelieteddie]

yesterday i was extremely frustrated with my work on my new tablet (learning digital) but once i took a break and listened to some of your videos i calmed down and am going to take a fresh look at that piece today :))

[hiimhunter]

For me I've found when I structure things out I tend to do better in terms of staying focused I've also made a goal this year to try and complete one piece of fan art each month so I actually draw rather than just practice 24/7 and not draw. Even tho it's just February right now, I've felt from January to February I've already improved a fair amount. It's honestly one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences I've had with art

[GQ-frud]

This is really helpful actually. I've recently realized that while I can draw hands very well from observation, when I get to drawing my characters, I can't seem to imagine anything well... Even though I've watched your construction videos! This video showed me that I forgot to practice just drawing hands from imagination rather than references! Thanks Marc, I'll try this out in my studies!
...Though the whole "No listening to music" while studying thing might be a rule I cannot follow. 😔

[lorddoge]

I havent been practicing much because im tight on schedule but I bet master marc will help me evolve again thanks master marc 😎🔥

[misci]

I can't believe how fast time goes by when you enjoy things. This video was very informative and probably one of the best art tutorials I've seen in a while, and the way you describe things is so clear and good for keeping viewers loyal to your channel :)

[aspiringanimator]

Ok you are now officially my best art teacher on YouTube. I love how you have videos for everyone. My schedule this year is so… booked and don’t really have much time to practice. I will try to follow your advice

[katzmeyer]

idc how long it takes, as long as we have Marc as our teacher - we’re in good hands 😌

[BobbyBlackhearts]

Your videos always arrive precisely when they need to, almost as if you were a wizard. Thank you so much Marc for your continuous hard work to provide precious content to everyone, those of us who cannot yet afford your class.
I love your videos, always a highlight when I get the notification that you uploaded and I'm not even mad that you broke my screen!

[jessflower.photos]

I've been in an art slump for a while now because I felt intimidated by all the things I needed to practice, but this video has really helped me understand what I need to do in order to improve! Thank you so much, I feel inspired again!

[davidek]

Thanks a lot, Marc. Your teaching it's priceless. Well, it has a price, and I'm very excited for getting your art program in the future, for now, you just earn a new member of your channel, hoping I can thank you enough for this skill and determination you're giving me! <3

[geets]

Thanks a lot Marc for this video! I was starting to feel hopeless about improving my art due to university stuff but after watching this video I became full of positivity and felt really happy that such life saving strategies exist! Thank u again my art teacher! 🥺🙏🙏
