I've been watching your videos for around 7 years now, i love your work, and books, well, hundreds of videos later, i can say that i'll never get tired of listening that greeting of yours, it's a warm and soothing feeling, like drinking hot chocolate
I don't always watch your videos like I used to because I feel as if I have passed the anime/manga style art and have moved onto painting but I love coming back every now and then. There is nothing like hearing the same cheery greeting at the start and the calm voice that gives great drawing tips. I have bought a few books (or borrowed from a library if I cant find a copy) and have been watching for years so it's always nice to see a video :) x
dear mark, I just want to say thank you for your kindness. I really appreciate your taking the time to make these incredible videos and sharing the knowledge you have acquired over the years. I have learned so much from you and i look forward to your future tutorials. Again thank you Mark.
Hey Mark! I was working on one of my (failed) Original characters, and was looking through my Manga drawing book, when I noticed a name that looked VERY familiar..! I had seen the name somewhere before and decided to check the back of the book for the "Authors Notes" and it said near the bottom, "I wouldn't be able to have written this book if it wasn't for my TH-cam subscribers..!" That's when it clicked!! This book, it is YOUR book! Your "Mastering Manga" Book! My BFF bought this book for me for my birthday, and I have been using it for many different pictures and it has helped a load! I just wanted to thank you for writing that book because it has helped me, VERY much!! I hope you have a great day, and continue your amazing work to help me learn how to draw better! Thanks..!
I try my best with all my strenght, and I keep saying done give up and since I saw this video and drew that drawing almost as good as mark, I have now know to keep trying. Thank You Markcrilley
I think i could draw face from below, but thanks to your video and "indication" lines i think now it become much more easier, thank you from the bottom of heart!
I enjoyed this video. I just received 2 books of yours. Realism and Manga 3 and I will be going through one at least tonight. Thanks for your great contribution to the art world. Its also great that I can receive art orders in the Caribbean. The only thing is its costly but worth every cent.
Thanks Mark. I've been drawing on and off for years... drawing everyday and challenging yourself is the key to success. thanks again for your videos...
Thank you SO much for posting this! I'm a 3D animation student with minimal drawing skills and an assignment to do 100 drawings by the end of the semester and your clear and step-by-step videos are helping me go from being an incredibly terrible draftsman to being only a moderately terrible draftsman. :3
I just bought your first Drawing Manga book and I can't wait for it to be delivered. This was an amazing demonstration. I am brand new to drawing and I hope I can learn to do it well. I have subscribed to your channel and will be looking to you for tons of guidance. Thank you for doing these for us!
No idea if you'll have time to see this, but I'm happy to announce that I FINALLY found a decent job that's gonna start soon, and my first paycheck is going to amazon to order the rest of Brody's Ghost and the Mastering Manga books :) Love your content, been following you for years and suggesting you to anyone I know who's just starting.
crilley, ive waited years for this video, do you know how much suffering i went through to do this worms eye view??? now, i can finally be an art master with this video.
In my experience the part right below the eyebrows doesn't get much shadow usually, so leaving a bright line between the shadow of the eye and the eyebrows themselves works really well.
Just a small note: I like the fact that you say how much time it takes you. I makes me realise that drawings needs time. That is something I have struggled with, since you see so much good art made whit speed up fotage. So just saying that something takes more time than it looks, I appriciate that.
Thanks again Crilley. I wish I could show you just how much you've helped me with my art over the years. And hey just Got Brody's Ghost I can't wait to get into it!
hey, i just wanted to thank you. i want to become a mangaka, and, since i can't go to an actual academy yet, i'm right now working on "training drawings" to get better so... Thank You for being the best teacher i could ever find!
I have a rather cartoony style right now, even though I'm trying to turn it more realistic. I like to color things with more of a structure, so it would help to make it more realistic.
I started drawing anime stuff about 7 days ago with utter garbage but after watching several of your videos mainly facial structure/ features i am able to produce your average DeviantArt type stuff
o yay!! u drew so well n just by watching this narrated version, i was able to draw the exact same drawing as you drew. i like all yours how to draw videos. thanks...
Unless you've already covered it and I missed the relevant video, could you please do a tutorial on how to draw different hair textures? Straight, wavy, curly, frizzy, kinky, spiky, buzzcut, etc. Personally I struggle with doing anything outside of generic "makeup commercial" wavy hair.
I'm going to draw her in a larger square, facing in the other direction, with a little girl's eyes, thinner lips, red hair in a ponytail, and with lots of freckles. This will make it more challenging for me and will make me learn manga better.
Hey mark I've been watching you since I was 12 yrs old. You inspired me soooo flipping much as an artist. Although I'm still learning would you show us how to draw every hair type. (Thickness A-C and curl/straightness 1-4) there's a bunch of video on TH-cam to show you the difference
Hi MARK, I love your videos. You're a great talent!!! and a great teacher. Ive improved my drawing 100% from your instructive videos. And you literally make me laugh out loud!!! LOL Thank you!!
Hey Mark I really enjoy your water colour videos. I was wondering if you could do one of your real time video challenges again and while you do it maybe go through your colour selection?
This is GREAT, Sir!! She's so beautiful! I do have a question though....how do you create a background around the character and make it blend well? My problem is that the hair never looks right against the background I create....especially when doing watercolors. if like to know how to make it look like a cohesive image.
Nice I've been wondering when you would do this. May you pls make a 'how to draw space eye view' video. I also just started reading your akiko series and I'm hooked. 😃
markcrilley, Such a great job on your drawings...you are definitely a great inspiration of mine. Where are the best ways to request some tutorials since I have a couple I'd like to request. The first request is a how-to-draw anime character (any character) but I would like to see you do one in full color with Prismacolors (since I'm having some trouble in properly utilizing the rich color layers of skin, clothing, and hair). The second request is a how-to-draw Noctis from Final Fantasy 15 video game (colored or black&gray).
When he started drawing the hair.. I couldn't see the drawing as anybody but Nancy Drew (like the mystery book series character) But really, this is a very helpful video. 💕
You should draw a picture of fan art with white colored pencil on black paper. the fan art should be a marvel character but you can do what you think you can do.
I hope sometimes you post a videos on how you draw ur drawings RATHER THAN on how to draw a drawings Did you draw sometimes without measurements and patterns? because i do draw my arts especially my comics without any patterns. Because thats what im comfortable with. Am I Wrong?
I don't know if markcrilley would read this so i would like his audience's opinions as well. I have always avoided guidance when it comes to drawing because i want to be original. Because by being original i could understand how 'I'' draw. This helped me experiment different art styles and sought to understand more about the ''foundations'' of drawing. So my question is, is this a healthy practice for an artist,or is this a habit i should get rid of?
Mark, I'd love if you spoke about this subject. I'm currently having an internal struggle, I'm wondering what to do if you don't feel as if you get adequate praise for your work. I'm confident in my art, but I feel like other people aren't appreciating it.
hey mark!!!.... well i use only a lead pencil for drawings and the results good in terms of structure and all but the shading process kind of blurs the whole drawing..... any advise, on what should i do with that????
It's funny, every time I see one of your tutorial videos, I get confused by your use of guidelines, but I've recently seen a video that felt like it could explain it. Would this form of guideline usage be some form of variant on Reilly's abstraction methods perhaps? I'm very used to using proportional relationships and divisions to put down how a face would end up looking in different angles, so the current use of guidelines confuses me
Mark Crilley, I have a confessions to make... When I see eraser crumbs on your paper, and I have the video paused... I blow on the screen thinking the crumbs will go away. I forget that it is not actual paper in front of me. I did this for the first time when introducing my younger cousin ( who is starting to take drawing more seriously) to one of your videos ( and the channel as a whole), and I paused it to explain something to her, and she didn't know why I started laughing so hard. She didn't see me try to blow the crumbs off the screen, and immediately face-palm afterwards. It was painfully and stupidly hilarious! #ArtistHabits
Hate to criticise the work of the amazing Crilley here but the end result is a bit off. The proportions of the head don't necessarily squish like that and the left eye is too far from the nose.

markcrilley No, Thank you..! You don't know how much you've helped me learn..! :D
Crilley you forgot to add the blushies!!! the blushular region looks awfully plane!
"The blushular region"-- I love it ^_^
I think it looks more helicopter...
markcrilley how do your drawings come out so clean and perfect?
Freckles look cuter!
I definitely admire you in your skill and versatility. You have both helped and motivated a young artist like me, along with many others.
I try my best with all my strenght, and I keep saying done give up and since I saw this video and drew that drawing almost as good as mark, I have now know to keep trying. Thank You Markcrilley

I found this to be very useful, this is the angle I have the most trouble with, and this trick could really help.

I had to pic music over art for GCSE and quite frankly I picked right. I can't learn music from as good a teacher as this brilliant guy.
well you got me back into my hobby of drawing , huge motivation to start drawing and with these videos i can make my drawings actually look good.
mark crilley I love your art so much me and my brother learned so much from you thank you!!!
I just finished following this tutorial and I think it turned out pretty good. Thanks Mr. Mark!!! I always find your tutorials fun and followable.
Cool just what i needed, can you do Eagle view ?
Here's bird's eye view: th-cam.com/video/8Xn6YrIlF74/w-d-xo.html
Mark, how do you make detailed clothes...? :I
Matthew Rose yeah mark pls do a clothes folding video pls :)
Can you do human view :)
Thanks again Crilley. I wish I could show you just how much you've helped me with my art over the years. And hey just Got Brody's Ghost I can't wait to get into it!
Thank you Kyler!
This character you did is just so beautiful! Love the advice on such a hard perspective to draw.
Thank you!
Love learning from you Mark! There seems to be quite a few characters in your head with you, and I must say I love that even more. :)
You are such an inspiration! I think I've watched every single one of your videos, and I never cease to be amazed! Never Stop!😄
Thank you RoseAnn!
hey, i just wanted to thank you.
i want to become a mangaka, and, since i can't go to an actual academy yet, i'm right now working on "training drawings" to get better so...
Thank You for being the best teacher i could ever find!
Luca Alessandrini dude same
Ibrahim Moustafa well then, i wish you luck!
Luca Alessandrini thanks man 😄
I have a rather cartoony style right now, even though I'm trying to turn it more realistic. I like to color things with more of a structure, so it would help to make it more realistic.
Followed this tutorial. Loved it! Thanks Mark!
I started drawing anime stuff about 7 days ago with utter garbage but after watching several of your videos mainly facial structure/ features i am able to produce your average DeviantArt type stuff
I whant to draw like you when i grow up.You are my idol.You are best.
I swear I could be late to my own funeral.Yet never late to a mark crilley video
I love your videos so much. watching your videos gets me inspired and want to draw more. thanks for your support in videos
o yay!! u drew so well n just by watching this narrated version, i was able to draw the exact same drawing as you drew. i like all yours how to draw videos. thanks...
Thank you :)
This is so helpful! I really hope you continue with these videos
Mark you should do a video we're you show your art portfolio
This is a tough one. Thank you. I am going to redraw it according to your instruction, but aimed in the other direction and a child's face.
Unless you've already covered it and I missed the relevant video, could you please do a tutorial on how to draw different hair textures? Straight, wavy, curly, frizzy, kinky, spiky, buzzcut, etc. Personally I struggle with doing anything outside of generic "makeup commercial" wavy hair.
I'm going to draw her in a larger square, facing in the other direction, with a little girl's eyes, thinner lips, red hair in a ponytail, and with lots of freckles. This will make it more challenging for me and will make me learn manga better.
And of course,for those of us who have no regard for elegance,the solidly embellished shnoz is an ecstasy!
Hey mark I've been watching you since I was 12 yrs old. You inspired me soooo flipping much as an artist.
Although I'm still learning would you show us how to draw every hair type. (Thickness A-C and curl/straightness 1-4) there's a bunch of video on TH-cam to show you the difference
My new math rock band name "Trapezoidial"
Hi MARK, I love your videos. You're a great talent!!! and a great teacher. Ive improved my drawing 100% from your instructive videos. And you literally make me laugh out loud!!! LOL Thank you!!
life saver crilley. you are life saver to our drawing hands x}
Hey Mark I really enjoy your water colour videos. I was wondering if you could do one of your real time video challenges again and while you do it maybe go through your colour selection?
hey mark can you do another "draw this again" video
Amazing tutorial! Inspires me to draw again
This is a beautiful piece! !!!! I have always had trouble with this view. if mine ever looks decent it's always a mistake.
This is GREAT, Sir!! She's so beautiful! I do have a question though....how do you create a background around the character and make it blend well? My problem is that the hair never looks right against the background I create....especially when doing watercolors. if like to know how to make it look like a cohesive image.
Could you do an in depth video on drawing a realistic face. Focusing on shading? Maybe include your photo reference. Like choose one specific person ?
Sounds like a great suggestion! I would like to see that too. :)
If you would like to and if you have time to, would you do a ; How to do a drawing in fisheye perspective (or 5-point perspective)? Cheers
very helpful, this specific view is very challenging , thx for making it easier ! ♡
those lines under the nose and the dip is called the philtrum. just so you know
Thank you Mark ... really enjoyed your teaching. :-)
The problem is worms don't have eyes
Justinsgamez 😑oh yeahhhhh
Justinsgamez are you familiar with earthworm Jim? ;)
i heard about worms species that have eyes, they also have rocket launchers and a lot of other stuff...
no actually im not
exposed lmao
great video as always mark! :)
this video helped me thank you very much I've improved my drawing seeing your videos
This is the "food wishes" of drawing. I love it. (find it on youtube if want to learn to cook)
How do you always draw so small
Great video. Beautiful drawing. I'd be interested in seeing how you'd draw a more extreme worm's eye view.
Next time :)
Nice I've been wondering when you would do this. May you pls make a 'how to draw space eye view' video. I also just started reading your akiko series and I'm hooked. 😃
Good job drawing the snoutal region.
how comes that the highlight in the eye is on the left and the shadow underneath the chin goes to the left as well?
Mark, can we get a Mikasa (attack on titan) drawing any time soon? the trailer for season 2 is already out and the season itself is coming
markcrilley, Such a great job on your drawings...you are definitely a great inspiration of mine. Where are the best ways to request some tutorials since I have a couple I'd like to request.

mark thx for inspire me , i always wait for your new vid :)
thanks markcrilley! i love you!
wow .. you are amazing artist.. l love your videos..
I hope I will one day be able to do drawing without always looking at something like a video, like you!
When will you do another speed challenge?
Coming soon :)
can you show us how to make skin tone with colored pencils?
you need to do more perspective stuff, Crilley! It's my favorite! :D
You should draw a picture of fan art with white colored pencil on black paper. the fan art should be a marvel character but you can do what you think you can do.
Very nice, old school crilley. Great video sir. Learned a lot. Thanks again and hopefully we will see more real soon. 😂.
Mark can you do the Wolverine? I drew some of them but doesn't look like portrait of Hugh Jackman. so can you do one please
mr. crilley sir, can i ask question?
how did you published your comic books? is there a requirements before
your comics published?
This vid explains how I got published: th-cam.com/video/NN1AhE7J0o8/w-d-xo.html
Thank your sir, by the way...
i like all your videos and all your work.
its really inspiring for me as a beginner in comic artist-ing.
I hope sometimes you post a videos on
how you draw ur drawings RATHER THAN on how to draw a drawings
Did you draw sometimes without measurements and patterns?
because i do draw my arts especially my comics without any patterns.
Because thats what im comfortable with.
Am I Wrong?
Gary Arsenia i am not crilley but you are not wrong there is no particulair way of making art just do what you like and works for you :)
i made a good drawing of character, its hard to keep constient!with the character he looks different everytime i draw him
what do i do?
I don't know if markcrilley would read this so i would like his audience's opinions as well. I have always avoided guidance when it comes to drawing because i want to be original. Because by being original i could understand how 'I'' draw. This helped me experiment different art styles and sought to understand more about the ''foundations'' of drawing.

I think Crilley and Jazza are long lost relatives😂
Mark I really want you to do a video on the human body from profile. I have seen the face from profile and I would really like to see one on the body
hey can you do the same with manga
hey mark!!!.... well i use only a lead pencil for drawings and the results good in terms of structure and all but the shading process kind of blurs the whole drawing..... any advise, on what should i do with that????
love it ,it help a lot

I been asking for this video for years! Thanka Mark, keep up the great work! #NotificationSquad
Mark Crilley, I have a confessions to make...

*sighs in admiration*
WOW MARK 50 LIKES 0 DISLIKES MARK=LEGENDARY CONGRATULATIONS
just brilliant
hi markcrilley his this tutorial can also do for male face
love this video... I am still learning how to do this ..
drinking game: take a shot when mark says: refocus the camera
could you do a how to draw a fox? your drawings are amazing and you have helped me a lot
How do you film your videos? Do you use phone, camera? Is there a certain kind of stand for them? or is your left hand just that steady
Awesome!
Amazing video. Thank you.
Could you draw someone's head looking down please? I have a hard time doing that...
Hate to criticise the work of the amazing Crilley here but the end result is a bit off. The proportions of the head don't necessarily squish like that and the left eye is too far from the nose.
