Featured course
Knowing how to use Color and Light in your artworks is one of the best skills to learn as an artist because it will help you take your artworks from good to great.
Key Takeaways
“Grit and mental toughness. Every day, make sure you are making something and pay attention to it. If you ever get frustrated, look where you were 5 years ago!”
- Marc studied Computer Science at Harvard and got into thriving startup scene in San Francisco before it went bust in the early 2000s and he picked up art again and funded study at Academy of Art University from his severance package
- Marc is very meticulous about time management and improving in that area. He uses a Kanban board to progress with his projects and he practices all the time, no matter what happens, even if it’s only for 10-15 minutes.
