Copying top artists to learn their secrets: Mika Pikazo

Finally got this thing done! No idea if this was worth it or not, but if you liked it shoot me other popular artists for these study time episodes 👀😘😘

10/10

Holy sheesh bro. It's really hard to breakdown art like these especially when the artist puts really advanced hidden techniques! Goodjob on spotting these techniques normally one couldn't catch at first glance! Really helps level up my techniques for art!

Wait... Where have I heard her name before? Oh right she's the artist for Hakos Baelz' model, the vtuber from hololive.

Thank you! I really like this series if you’re planning on doing it more, it really helps to understand their thought process.
If you’re taking recommendations on artist to make a video out of, Wlop is amazing! Thank you for taking your time and effort, it really helps

Does anyone know how to recreate the second shading pass in csp?

Omg Marc this is just what I needed! I find it so hard to make my art interesting and learning new ways to render / add finishing touches to my art! Your knowledge in how to actually achieve the looks of our favourite artists builds exactly the bridge that I needed. Thank you so much for saving me and feeding so much more inspiration into my life. PLEASE continue the series!
I myself create in a kind of nieche where comic/manga meets monster and anthro creatures so for myself I'd love to suggest MLArty! I love their art and struggle in replicating the looks.
For an artist that appeals to more people I'd suggest loish :)
Thank you again for this video! May 2024 be in your favour!

This is genius and answered soooo many questions that i had! 🔥🔥🔥

please yoneyama mai 😁😁

This secondarie shading is just absurd.
How did she come up with that?!

hi mark, hey, i have a big doubt, maybe im just used to draw on autodesk sketchbook (its really confortable despite the limitations), do you recomend adobe fresco?

Yueko pleaaaaaase

I'm not an artist myself, but I'd always wondered about what Mika was doing to create such a unique style. The second shading pass in particular was really wild! Thanks for doing this deep dive.

I don't know English so I used Google Translate. In my opinion, the key to this style of painting is that it would be better to depict the hair and eyes as if they were made of glass.

Amazing work dude!

Mika's tecnique is incredible, thank you for the analysis and breakdown. The analysis itself was just out of this world

I always have my pen and trusty maths notebook with me whenever i watch your videos.

LAM please ✨️❤️

Do Ilya Kuvshinov!

wow

I'd love a Camila D'Errico study time! Her work is freaking amazing!

Show us the study of WLOP please, he is my favorite artist.

is mika pikazo bae's mama?

What an Incredible video. I love her art and this was so in-depth. Please please please make more of these, what an impressive artist to start with. I think your method of getting those crazy colors in the hair was really clever as well!

can you make an analysis on torinoaqua's style? i cant understand how they make their backgrounds SO DETAILED YET SO MUCH?!

I would suggest Wooma. Even if they animate a lot, their illustrations are so interesting to me

Please do more

This was really valuable. Marc really breaks down a very specific art style in a way that is easy to understand and consider applying. I’m not personally interested in making art that looks like fruit salad haha but there are some workflow and composition tips worth taking away from the video. I hope you continue to do these kind of videos!

Toni Infante

This was very interesting and helpful, even if you don't want to imitate her style, you showed that any complicated image can be studied and taken apart, to give you new ideas! Very motivating 😃

I appreciate it so much. If you will be able to do "Bo Chen" episode I think people will be so pleased with it

Thanks for the analysis for us who aren’t as knowledgeable in this field

Hope you’ll do Rella’s arts. I adore her lighting skill so much 😭😭😭

This reminds me of tppo video where he also tried to copy mika pikazo arts

LAM dayo please

woow that wa awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 like a pianist playing a song just by hearing it one time

I guess u have to do one for "suke artist" he works at riot he is really good

great video!!! I learned a lot. Please do a style analysis of Yoneyama Mai, a great japanese artist!!

This was super helpful!!!!! I would like to see more content like this learning techniques from Asian artists.

Next Artists please Kionaoki.

Im just searching how to draw anatomy and your vid just pop up, and when i watch it i feel very comfortable the way you interact(the way you teach us) its entertaining, im looking forward to continue my art journey learning to your videos!!

what site is she using to draw?

"Never went to art school"......I am shocked to death.

Hey Marc, I’d love for tutorials on how to use your gradient map technique in other softwares such as Procreate or Krita. I can do gradient map in Procreate but I don’t know how I can get it masked/on a separate layer from the greyscale.

Make Yoneyama Mai !!!!

its time to level up

Does anyone know how to get the color halftone effect in clip studio paint? Mika Pikazo uses csp as her drawing software so it's doable but I can't find the effect settings for it.

Can you do the mangaka Yusuke Murata?

hey! I cant download it your brush pack :( Istead of downloading the winrar pack , its downloading a white page . Looks like its broken
