RapidFireArt

@rapidfireart

Hi, my name is Darlene and I'm a Vietnamese Canadian self taught portrait artist. This channel is for anything artsy that I want to share with the world (speed drawings, tutorials, reviews and other art entertainment content). Although I'm still learning how to draw, I like to share my knowledge to help and encourage others. It took me many years and a lot of trial and error to learn how to draw, so I try my best to make drawing tutorials that are easy to understand and apply. I strongly believe anyone can learn, as long as: - they have the right attitude - they learn from the right teacher(s) who fit their specific learning style - they have/develop good observation skills - they apply good practice You can find free tutorials on my channel and a lot more on my website (rapidfireart.com). If you're a complete beginner, check out my FREE drawing course: http://rapidfireart.com/how-to-draw-for-beginners/ (Don't worry, I won't even ask for your email) Darlene

Marco Bucci

@marcobucci

Welcome to my channel, glad you stopped by! If you've watched my painting videos before, thank you! If you haven't yet, well, there's a bunch of content waiting for you right now. I'm a professional artist, with more than 15 years' experience in the film, TV, game, and print industries - primarily as a concept artist and illustrator. I also happen to believe that it's the duty of experienced artists to pass on what they've learned, with no BS and for as low-cost as possible. It's for that reason that I'm a passionate teacher. I have taught at CGMA, Academy of Art University, Centennial College, and more. My videos on YouTube range from painting fundamentals, to applied painting demos, to insights into how to grow (and work) as a creative person. More art lessons available at www.MarcoBucciArtStore.com

Mark Liam Smith

@markliamsmith

Hi! I’m a colourblind realist painter dedicated to helping you learn to draw and paint. If you’re into drawing, you’ll find some helpful how-to-draw videos that will build your skills and your confidence. If painting is more your thing, then you’ll learn color tips and discover various paint techniques — and, of course, learn to paint a range of different fruit, flowers, and other still life staples. If you like my tutorials, please consider becoming a patron at patreon.com/markliamsmith for access to exclusive drawing and painting tutorials (and lots more). About my colorblindness: I've learned to compensate for my colorblindness by mastering color theory and developing a unique approach to color. If you’re not colorblind, my approach can complement your understanding of color. And if you are, then hopefully it can give you the confidence to paint in full color and come to view your colorblindness not as a weakness, but rather as a strength.
