Thank you for listening to my request :), the lack of improvement in painting and shading has been getting closer to art block recently

[beplay]

I was struggling to shade my art less than 5 minutes ago, please warn me next time you break into my home.

[jamfilledjars]

This is _perfectly_ time, wtf.

I’ve been wanting to study how Jin Kwang Park (a South Korean artist who is my biggest inspo) does his shading, because all of his renders look 3D, but are in fact 2D. This is absolutely wonderful.

I really need to buy your course, lmao.

For the Krita users, the directional shading brush exists as Shading Pencil in the Krita 4 default brush pack. Basically tilt the pen in the direction you want to shade in. I couldn't get Marcs custom shape to work, but I am not very skilled at brush creation. The default brush does the trick though.

Edit: Using this brush isn't as flexable, but it works for folds and small areas just fine. If anyone has advice on how to get it to work more like Marcs brush please feel free to share.

How does a nine minute video explain complex shading techniques THAT concisely?? My guy, you're a magician at explaining things in understandable ways. I've never been so tempted to spend outrageous amounts of money on something, more than I am your art school

[zambiemaster]

Marc, I've loved and watched SO many of your videos for the past three years now and i'm one day hoping to become a student of your classes! I wanted to ask though, you've taught us how to shade, color, render and everything in between for people, hair, skin and so much else, but have you ever made a class for us fantasy creature illustrators? Such as fur rendering, scales, how to go about making magic creatures and such! I'd love to know how a master like you would make magical creatures into an image.

[nobelthegr]

Finally I saw the previous video and the shading was unreal thanks for making this video 🙏

[StellitaKay]

Could anyone please recommend a tutorial explaining how to paint extruded and embossed parts of a form like in exercise 3? Many thanks in advance.

[M_Deez]

Hi Marc, love your content!! Can you please make a video about using and understanding gradient maps, I see artist that use them and I think that type of work flow is so cool! Sending lots of love from the Philippines!!!🌟🌟

[prettyspectrum]

All I have to say is THANK YOU. A lot of information online, even more about art, is so straight foward. Is all the " You do this/ all you have to do is this" but rarely says how. Showing exercises like this is so helpful. Thank you for showing the brushwork, I have tons of problems because my hand is so heavy and I need practice. And you showed here what I needed

[Envy_Level_Zero]

I started doing art by carving and adding details to photos. Making seamless edits.

[Cod_Imperium]

You... You... You absolute genius!😭😭😭😭😭 I binged your content for a week straight and it's like I'm a new person, I drew like I've never done before, I have nothing but high praises for you sensei, you're an absolute genius, thank you so much!😭😭😭

[bll]

Marc, once again, you kicked butt! When it comes to shading, I love using the lasso tool first, then use a soft brush, for example. It really lot for good edge control. Plus, I really like to use color picker + lightly build up my values with any brush. Exercise 3 and 4 are really good tips. Also, nice Armored core 6 shoutout too!! 😊

[artshurin]

2:02 finally i've got Marc Brunet smudge tool brush :'3

[tenshiart]

YES!! Yes yes yes, this is the stuff we need more of, Ive always wondered how I develop these techniques instead of just copying (which isn't bad) this is a nice gradual way of learning the values and forms whilst also keeping some creativity and room for developing a style. Can you do more things like this video? Like showing how we develop other skills using exercises. This is perfect

[sapnavora]

armoured core 6 reference, best vid ever (this was also really helpful, thanks Marc)

[basedoppenheimer]

One thing I like doing when trying to get the values right is to think like a 3D modeler.

I first define the "mesh" of my 2D piece, and I establish the following convention: darker shades for things away from the viewer or have higher depth; lighter values for things closer to the viewer or have higher heights; grays for flats or in between those dimensions.

After I do that; I then shade again but using an external light source and I "bend" the lighting according to the mesh of the character, then I add the external shades and that's how I have shaded and lighted. Miscellaneous details like blush or dirt I add after I have defined the mesh but before lighting.

The magic poser web resource is so helpful! Thank you for the lesson. I paid the class fee ✨

[Astryca]

Ive done a bachelors in illustration and bought marcs program. and i gotta say, it holds up very well!

[anaroman]

Idk what it is about your teaching style but i love it. You make learning understandable, enjoyable, and break things down clearly. Your an awesome teacher and artist I learned so much from watching your videos and i get excited to practice new skills and techniques iv learned from your channel 🫶
