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!!

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

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.

Love it Marco, when I grow up I wanna be like you 🎨🖌

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.

The fact that we’re watching this level of content for free is absolutely insane. Thanks man!

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 :)

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!!!

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.

"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 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. :)

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!

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.

I'm going to have to watch this a few more times to absorb every single nugget of knowledge from it. This was so impressive!

I was not expecting this to be the best Intro to Blender tutorial I have ever seen. You covered so much and so clearly!

My brain is tingling from all the good information your feeding it. It’s ridiculous how many UKposts 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

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!

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

Came in with low expectations, but everything from that blender section to the end blew me away. I'll definitely use this a lot.

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! ^^

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

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!

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.

Out of all the artists I follow, you're the one I least expected to make an arcane video, but I freaking Love it!!!!

Being a subscriber of marco bucci was the best thing I did in 2022

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

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.

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!! 😍💗

That was one of the most useful videos on Blender I've ever seen. Simple, concise, understandable. Brilliant! Thank you:)

Love to see your Blender videos, the 3D+2D workflow is very powerful

I have never seen anyone make Blender that easy for artists/painters before. Simply mind-blowing. Thank you, mr. Bucci.

I feel like I just gained an entire lecture's worth of knowledge & understanding in 20 mins - thank you so much for this!

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!

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!

This video is not only a masterpiece, but also a masterclass. Thank so much for your work, Marco!

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 :)

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!

Im blow away by how much i learned in this video, ive even been using blender for a while and learned more about that as well. thank you

THANK YOU for teaching me basic blender for illustrators in like 11 minutes in a way that actually makes sense!!! Gold star!!

your reading on character contrasts really opened my eyes keep doing what u do marco!

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!

Man you are a compressed art school So much premium grade value teaching in such a short video . Woaaaw. Million kudos Bro !!!

Arcane was such a great show and the art style and animation was gorgeous! Thanks for the video!

Love that clipstudio have a 3D functions to allow us to do this directly in the same software and sceen 🙂. Loved the analyst!

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

THANKS for the honesty, simplicity and niceness...and art.

The production value for this video is insane. Nice job

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!

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.

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

Wow! So much packed into one video. It'll take me a long time to digest all of this! Thanks a lot!

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'm in awe at how you mind works. Brilliant! Thank you for this.

This was one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. Thank you

Incredible work! Arcane and Marco are a match made in heaven!

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 ,❤

This is one of the best videos on art I have ever seen. Thank you so much

I came here to learn how to paint like arcane characters and now I'm downloading blender, god bless you Marco, you're amazing!

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.

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

arcane AND mini blender tutorial in the same video?? truly a christmas miracle

This is the exact video I was hoping for ever since Arcane came out lol, thank you!

Best unexpected quick-go blender tutorial I've come across.

Thank you it's is incredibly clear and concise, I am so grateful you put so much free tutorials like this, thank you !

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!!

Hands down the best Art teacher we have on UKposts ❤️

My goal for 2022 was actually start to learn to painting by trying to replicate scenes from Arcane. Now this tutorial will be my guide on that journey, thank you! I hope you do more tutorial about this serie. Greetings from Perú

A great study into Arcane's style, AND a great Blender intro? Nice!

As a 30 years old boomer, I don't know Arcane, but I know blender. And your intro to it, is one of the best I have ever seen. You're insane Marco.

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~!

Arcane AND new Marco video!?? best Christmas gift !!! ahhhhhh 🤩🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉✨

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: 👁👃👁

Fantastic video, man! I've been sharing your channel a bunch lately, really great breakdowns.

Oh my gosh, what an underrated channel. So glad i found you. Bouta binge watch some vids

This is why I recommend your channel to all my artist friends

i don't know where i'd be without your videos, you're the best

This video is more valuable than gold and should be added to the periodic table.

U HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I WAS TO SEE THIS IN MY SUBS !! Cant wait to make more fanart w ur tips 😍😍

Everybody's talking about Arcane but no one has broke it down like you have, thank you!

A beautiful and accurate evaluation of the art style. I couldn't ask for anything more. Consider me subscribed!

This is the fastest best blender tutorial I’ve ever seen. I almost gave up on blender :)

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.

I have seen like 2 hours +- of Blender tutorials and didn't understand a thing, your 10 mintues tutorial made me finally understand xddddd

That lightning-fast basic Blender tutorial, woww!

I came here for the arcane artstyle and now Im saving this for the amazing blender tutorial lol thank you!!

This video is extremely helpful man, thank you! 3d ought to allow me the time to try out more iterations for my environment designs. Also that filter->find edges trick you showed is so life changing wth.

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 can't wait to put this to use! Thank you so much for all of this helpful content

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!

easily the best art techer on youtube

The mini blender tutorial is God sent 😂👍 Thank you this was very informative🙏

I can’t believe UKposts is free I feel like I should be paying millions for how useful this was

Thank you so much!!! I've been wanting to paint my friends in arcane style Im so glad this video exist

Man I was there when you had 20k subs, now you've exploded to 700k how does time flies

I love the way you teach Blender, thank you.

This is magic! Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge Marco ☺

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS AND THANK GOD IT WAS YOU

man really managed to fit a 3d-2d tutorial with all the basics in in one 20-minute video

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.
