I’m just commenting to advocate in favor of marco’s head class. It’s so incredibly worth it, I feel like watching this after having studied his class adds a whole new dimension of appreciation for the subject. Thanks for putting so much incredible knowledge out, Marco, you’re saving the dreams of a lot of artists who won’t have access to formal education

I clicked, heard his voice And became very happy

I forgot you were the goat. My fault, G

Crazy thing is that when I see this kind of video from start, and I still have no idea how it become how it become.  Like I know intellectually how it technically done and yet my brain is still "HOW??"

I've been a professional illustrator for 8 years now,  and I think this is the most clear breakdown and demonstration I have seen of how to practically handle lighting.
Thank you, this will definitely make me more considerate of my lighting.

I should add that, while you can approach virtually any painting using these value groups, this is not the only value system out there, nor is it an exhaustive list in and of itself. For instance, highlights are not included in this lesson (I plan to do an entire lesson on them in the future.)
ALSO - At 5:16 I began discussing that value group using the term 'Ambient Light.' Then midway through I switched the term to 'Reflected Light'. My bad. To clarify: they are the same thing!
Thanks for watching, and happy painting :)

Coming from someone who was always told "wow, youre such a great artist"- I arrogantly always avoided any basic training. Well, I've realized that I can very much learn and develop so much more skill by learning the basics and understanding it. Your videos have been a go-to for me, and I tell you, I've never felt more humbled. Thank you for all your work and videos!

0:15 seconds in and I’m already mad at how good he is

mid tones being part of the light family and not shadow is so eye opening.. It might fix my issue of values becoming muddy. Brb gonna try it!
Edit: AND Reflected light closer to the shadow family 🤯

The clear communication, the logical process and the overall quality of these videos are what make you the best painting teacher. YouTube it's full of people explaining values, but the concept never really clicked until I saw your videos. Thanks !

Damn this is WAY harder than it looks

You have no idea the perfect moment in my learning journey that this video arrives.
You are the best Marco. Your amazing clarity of ideas and unpaired teaching skills make it a pleasure to learn from your videos.

Is it possible to purchase the video lessons from your website for someone else?
I am in Argentina and economically things are in a bit of a stir. Conversion of foreign currency is being limited and taxed so I would lose a hefty percent in the exchange.
If one of my freelance clients in the US could purchase it for me, it would be really helpful.

Yeah, Marco's Asaro Head class is mindbogglingly helpful

here's a hint: Skillshare trial month. your very welcome.

What an insane amount of info packed tightly enough to view while on my lunch break

nearly a year later, this video finally makes sense to me

In a almost related topic: I wanted to recommend to all of people struggling with values and colors that Windows 10, let you  put the screen in grayscale (Windows+Ctrl+C) This will help you to see the values in your works if this have colors.

Thank you very much Mister Marco! I'm practicing this and i'm getting better faster than i tought.

I've been coming back to this video every year since it was posted. Thank you, Marco. Your dedication to sharing quality learning materials means a lot to me.
