isectoid Nowadays yes, when I started no. Even now it takes me a few iterations. I don't typically do a perfect drawing off the bat, I draw several smaller designs first and then work out where my mistakes are and fix them:) This includes perspective and foreshortening
hey Mark, have you thought of captioning your narrated videos? a friend of mine is deaf and loves your work, and would love to read your advice on creativity.
Hey Mark! I just wanted to let you know I just ordered Mastering Manga 2 and 3 to go with my MM 1 I already have. I'm happy to finally be able to get them as I think you're an artist deserving of support. I think it's great how the books are clear and easy to follow along with and MM 1 has most certainly helped me improve my artwork even though I just draw as a hobby. Thank you!
Mark, you should be very, very proud of yourself, I (completely honestly) have never, ever seen a hate comment on any video I have ever watched of yours. and I've been watching you for years.
+markcrilley Definitely, probably because there is nothing to hate about your videos! 😁 can you do more tutorials about clothing, specifically jeans, or drawing hands holding something? I would really appreciate it! 😀
It's nice to hear that even Manga Master (shortended to- "Mama") Mr Crilley still struggles with his own works at times. Makes me feel better about my own budding ability.
Honestly, at this point you should do a parody video of yourself, creating a normal drawing and adding blushies to everything. The girl blushes The boy blushes Their chiby versions blush The tree blushes The moon blushes The blush blushes
i planned on doing a parody of him a while back but i never got around to do it, since i don't sound like him and the guy i know that does is out of commission
14:20 I sometimes use the squared off technique for male hands while for women I tend to make their fingers more curve at the tips. Depends on the character mostly, some of my male characters might be more slim with smaller hands so I'll give them more curved fingertips, ladies with larger hands I square off the fingertips.
Really enjoyed this vid Mark. Foreshortening is a difficult concept for me. But very interesting to watch. I would think Brody's blushies would be more exertion blushies. (he's trying hard to reach that rope, and fight the bad-guys).
I simply love how comedic u r while staying on the topic at hand. its really hard for me to draw and talk at the same time. Also u should tell us about the processing of the comic books. how r they made?
These vids will help you make your decision. This vid is a tour of Mastering Manga 1: th-cam.com/video/AbmhNc2IU9k/w-d-xo.html This vid is a tour of Mastering Manga 2: th-cam.com/video/5OJZhvj2kQM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Mark, I've been watching your videos for a bit finally got around to purchasing your books. Decided to go all in and got all three Drawing Manga books. Looking forward to reading and working out what I've been seeing here on YT. thank you
Heya Mark, I just wanted to say that I saw your Mastering Manga book today at Hobby Lobby and I was able to buy it! I was so happy, thank you for being my inspiration all these years. And great video as always! C:
Everytime i come to your channel looking for an answer, i find it. Mr. Crilley, you don't know me, and I don't know you, but I gotta tell you, you are trully my master, you have helped me and continue to do so in my creative process. Bottomline is, i want to thank you, sincerely.
Hey Mark, I love hanging out with you, your my 4 am cafe buddy. Even though I dont do manga, your techniques can easily be transfered to other stylkes. Thanks so much, I will buy your books for my 20 something year old son
Awesome video Mark! I often comment to make suggestions for future videos and I would LOVE to see you adding a background to this type of action pose, where is he jumping from, what angle? Even better, you could show different ways in which the pose can have impact and show us how to use action lines and such. I woul love to see that :) Thanks for the work you put in all these tutorials they are very helpful
Mr. Crilley, could you do a how to draw, The Starship Enterprise? your how to draw videos are SO good. i've already drawn the Millennium Falcon and i would love learning how to draw The Enterprise from you. thanks.
Use your camera and take a photo of your hand. Make it black and white. This will help you visualize how it should look. if you can print it out, so and trace it. This will help you learn how to draw the hand in any position no matter how odd.
Hey mark. I know this is a really old video to you. But for me right now its brand new(to me). Idea for whatever you make have in the future. But. To cover all sections of your drawing instructables, focus on one drawing, that you cover in a series of videos, (everything) that is in the drawing. (Face with expression) (hands) (poses) (forshortening) and so on. Kinda like progression
Thanks a lot for an other awesome video! ☺ If you haven't already done so, please consider making a video about walking and running stances. 👍Btw, yesterday I ordered Brody's Ghost volume 1. Will be happy to read it.
Big fan of your work. I've got Mastering Manga 1 & 2 which has helped me out greatly on my drawings. Thank you very much! I was wondering if you could do more videos on foreshortening? Perhaps not just the hands coming towards the viewer.
I know why he uses one hand. :) When you reach for something and you use one arm you can tilt and twist your shoulders and body more than you can if you use both. :) snd I think he is blushed because he is scared and might have worked up a sweat from all the action before he got himself into that situation. Perfect sense to me! ;)
Hey Mark by any chance do you have a video on how to draw a manga character crying with tears coming down his cheeks. If you have a video would you please send me the link, or if not would you so kind to create one.
+markcrilley thanks Mark, I would be interested in seeing more videos like that, especially with brass instruments. The reflective quality in brass instruments makes them harder to draw. thanks again
Quick question for advanced artists, just wondering on a skilled artist's mindset when drawing character anatomy. Is there a point when you simply understand artistic anatomy to the point where drawing your art isn't methodical anymore it's simply drawing from your imagination? or does the methodology of anatomy still have its place? (ie: 3 circles here, which means the arm should be here, etc etc)
Keep using them, guidelines are great mapping to posing always and it saves a lot of time trying to fix it later. People at disney etc uses it to make them stay even in shape and it's easier to move shapes around if the shapes are drawn out whether you use circles, lines, triangles, cylinders or whatever it may be. It just saves time with a blueprint.
Can you do a video on your art set that will be cool also if you do put the link of the equipment in the description on how much they Cost and were you get them from
I feel like this is a very odd question, but HOW ON EARTH DO YOU GET YOUR PENCILS SO SHARP??? I've tried everything, but the tips always break off or I have to settle for a chunky black prismacolor which does not deliver flattering linework
dang. i got on here like a nano second after i got the notification and I'm still not the first to comment. :c Nevermind that, this video is a GODSEND!! lately I've been trying to find videos on forshortening...thank you Mark!! i always enjoy your videos!!
hey mark can you do a video on how to draw characters with darker skin tone, right now I'm practicing drawing manga and I'm making a female character with dark skin (most people would say black people skin color) and I don't know what tools I need for drawing characters with darker skin colors
Draw withJazza has an app that might help you, it's called Arty Games and it's available on iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. I use it whenever I can't figure out what to draw.
I have a question, when you lets say, outlining a drawing is it better to use ink, just has micro pens, or the black prisma, and does it change how it looks because color pencils can be grainy
Whenever I try to come up with my own pose, I just can't draw them perfectly. You start some your drawings with stick figures which come out great.. Please make a video on how to draw stick figures in different poses.
Do you need any specific paper for drawing manga? And if I draw manga on the paper, then should I re-draw it in ,like Ps and save it in any folder? Or just draw it on paper, and leave it somewhere? :D
Your videos really help me... i started drawing not so long ago.... and then l found your channel, and those narrated videos are really helping me , i saw very few game characters ( i think i only saw link) in this channel , but can u do a narrated video on Dragonborn from Skyrim? this will really help me ... thank you :)
This drawing is pretty good, though I have some constructive criticism: I think the pose looks a little stiff. I think that his legs are a bit too far bent to look like he is at the height of his jump, which I am assuming is what you are going for. If you straightened his legs a bit and perhaps bent his left arm further down, it would add a stretched look, like he is reaching with all his might.
Hey Mark! Could you make a video on how to draw beards? Like, full beards? I never make them look right and you're my go to man with anime lol Thank you!!

Whoa! I was the 1885th viewer of this video, I leave the page for one second, come back and there are 1917 views.Way to go Mark!
How to drive a newb artist insane:
step 1: sneak up on him.
step 2: whisper 'foreshortening' in his ear.
Step 3: watch him go insane.
Was I the only newbie artists who liked foreshortening and perspective? I found that easier than anatomy:P
***** Does that include anatomy foreshortening?
isectoid Well, the arms looked like blobs, so I'm not sure it counted:P I'm much better at anatomy nowadays:)
***** Can you do a foreshortened human that doesn't look weird?
isectoid Nowadays yes, when I started no. Even now it takes me a few iterations. I don't typically do a perfect drawing off the bat, I draw several smaller designs first and then work out where my mistakes are and fix them:) This includes perspective and foreshortening
hey Mark, have you thought of captioning your narrated videos? a friend of mine is deaf and loves your work, and would love to read your advice on creativity.
I second that
yes he should definitely put captions to his videos
I am writing subtitles for this video this very moment, should be up within an hour!
thank you!
Hey Mark! I just wanted to let you know I just ordered Mastering Manga 2 and 3 to go with my MM 1 I already have.

Thank you so much-- I greatly appreciate your support ^^
I like how at 27:00 you can look to the bottom right and see a very familiar action pose...
13:16 - You can reach further when using one hand
Mark, you should be very, very proud of yourself, I (completely honestly) have never, ever seen a hate comment on any video I have ever watched of yours. and I've been watching you for years.
There are very few; I'm lucky, truly! ^_^
+markcrilley Definitely, probably because there is nothing to hate about your videos! 😁 can you do more tutorials about clothing, specifically jeans, or drawing hands holding something? I would really appreciate it! 😀
You're not lucky, we just love you.
It's nice to hear that even Manga Master (shortended to- "Mama") Mr Crilley still struggles with his own works at times. Makes me feel better about my own budding ability.

The girl blushes
The boy blushes
Their chiby versions blush
The tree blushes
The moon blushes
The blush blushes
Hahaha right 😂😂😂

Crilley, I love your videos! They are very helpful and I get inspired every time I watch them!😊
I hope you know you've inspired me to keep drawing more than anyone ever has.
Thank you Taylor!

Yes mark. Please make a video on how to draw open mouths. They are such a struggle ;-;

can you make a tutorial on how to make highlights and shading for hair?
Currently reading Brody's Ghost, it's amazing!!!!
I learned a great amount from this perspective by looking at it from this angle of vision_
Hi Mark,im really strugling to draw characters at a low camera angle perspective could you do another perspective drawing please???
Hey Mark, I love hanging out with you, your my 4 am cafe buddy. Even though I dont do manga, your techniques can easily be transfered to other stylkes. Thanks so much, I will buy your books for my 20 something year old son
yay I finally found a channel that does art
Awesome video Mark! I often comment to make suggestions for future videos and I would LOVE to see you adding a background to this type of action pose, where is he jumping from, what angle?
Even better, you could show different ways in which the pose can have impact and show us how to use action lines and such. I woul love to see that :)
Thanks for the work you put in all these tutorials they are very helpful
please can you explain the principle underlying foreshortening ? like the you explain the principle of 3 point prospective it would be a great help
Could u make a vid on how to draw any poses by smartly using references?

Use your camera and take a photo of your hand. Make it black and white. This will help you visualize how it should look. if you can print it out, so and trace it. This will help you learn how to draw the hand in any position no matter how odd.
This is awesome, I'm gonna do a practice sketch on this right now! Thanks for inspiring!
awesome mark crilley
i tried but i cant do it
could you do a video on how to draw backgrounds for a comic?

Thank you for supporting me Jason!
You're welcome! :) I've been watching your videos for about 10 years now.
I know why he uses one hand. :) When you reach for something and you use one arm you can tilt and twist your shoulders and body more than you can if you use both. :) snd I think he is blushed because he is scared and might have worked up a sweat from all the action before he got himself into that situation.

HEY MARK THANK YOU ...IT WAS REALLY HELPFULL
dude I got mastering manga. so far it is very helpful
Would it be considered cheating? If you used a light box for practice. Like would you gain anything using it?
great video, im wondering if you use a special sharpener to get your pencils so narrow?
Hey Mark, I was wondering if you could put the time taken on each drawing at the end of the video. I just think it would be neat.
How do you draw groups of people? I've been wanting to draw a bunch of my characters as a group but it looks weird??
I would definitely like to see you make a tutorial on drawing mouths with teeth.
Excelente grato pelo conteúdo Joaquim raphael

dang. i got on here like a nano second after i got the notification and I'm still not the first to comment. :c

Hey crilley I saw an ad for "The Drawing Lesson" in a boys life magazine!
hey mark can you do a video on how to draw characters with darker skin tone, right now I'm practicing drawing manga and I'm making a female character with dark skin (most people would say black people skin color) and I don't know what tools I need for drawing characters with darker skin colors
Hi.....i really love your drawings
I was really wondering that if you make a video about the materials you use in your drawing please
This vid explains about all the art supplies I use: th-cam.com/video/xEBzCr_kNns/w-d-xo.html
Hey Mark I have a question. I love drawings but I can never think of what to draw. Could u make a video about how to find good subjects to draw
Draw withJazza has an app that might help you, it's called Arty Games and it's available on iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. I use it whenever I can't figure out what to draw.
Yeah I tried it it's great but I think it would still be nice to hear it in video form and I really like Marks format and the way he does his vids
I have a question, when you lets say, outlining a drawing is it better to use ink, just has micro pens, or the black prisma, and does it change how it looks because color pencils can be grainy
Such has *
Mark, you should do a My Hero Academia drawing! Also nice drawing :)
Whenever I try to come up with my own pose, I just can't draw them perfectly. You start some your drawings with stick figures which come out great.. Please make a video on how to draw stick figures in different poses.
may I ask?
how can you publish your stories?
thanks...
PLZ!!! Make a video about how to draw fire in different ways.
Do you need any specific paper for drawing manga? And if I draw manga on the paper, then should I re-draw it in ,like Ps and save it in any folder? Or just draw it on paper, and leave it somewhere? :D
I am an artclub so i keep drawing i love all your videos im a kid 7 yearold girl im great
Your videos really help me... i started drawing not so long ago.... and then l found your channel, and those narrated videos are really helping me , i saw very few game characters ( i think i only saw link) in this channel , but can u do a narrated video on Dragonborn from Skyrim? this will really help me ... thank you :)

Hey Mark! Could you make a video on how to draw beards? Like, full beards? I never make them look right and you're my go to man with anime lol
Thank you!!
