An essential guide for a new generation of artists to learn professional-level art skills—no student loan required!

Now a successful artist, illustrator, and YouTube star, Marco Bucci once thought you had to be born with art talent and go to an expensive art school to have a career in art. Unfortunately, he couldn’t draw and didn’t get into art school, but he heard that drawing was something you could learn anyway, so he set off on a self-guided journey of becoming an artist. In Debt-Free Art Degree: Foundations in Drawing, Marco shares what he learned to help you become a successful artist without experiencing the same false starts and setbacks he did.

With QR codes to video demonstrations to solidify your understanding of the techniques and concepts, this accessible yet comprehensive guide offers:

• Affordable, high-level art instruction for serious beginners and seasoned artists seeking skill enhancement or a career in art
• A logical curriculum that avoids information overload
• Connected lessons, exercises, and demonstrations that pave the way to strong drawing skills
• Instruction on essential art principles such as working with 2D and 3D shapes, gesture, form, color, and more
• Advice and encouragement to develop your personal artistic vision while building foundational skills

Marco Bucci was not artistically gifted as a child. In fact, he just plain couldn’t draw. He only began his serious study of drawing at the age of 19, when he read that it’s actually possible to learn. This news was a revelation, since Marco (like many people) believed one had to be born with a special talent. But through being exposed to the right kinds of information and practice, Marco now makes a living as a professional artist, working on everything from feature films, to commercials, games, book covers, children’s book illustration, and television with such companies as Walt Disney Publishing Worldwide, LEGO, LucasArts, Mattel Toys, Fisher-Price, and Hasbro. Marco teaches through his own platform, through other online schools, such as Proko.com and CG Master Academy, and has taught at several art colleges, both physical and online. He lives in Toronto, Canada.
