[@Accuaro]

Ayradee sucrih Thanks!

[@arnoldus6663]

dude you are the god of drawing

[@demiseduke8000]

Ohmaigod this is the only time where I drew the same thing and it was equal to his! :DDDDD Took half million videos XD

[@heartandcranium]

Lucky... well thats why they say practice makes perfect

[@dontwatchthevideo]

Actually somewhat of a long time subscriber here... and after a couple years, I have to say these videos are still great. Before, I used to just watch the videos and go like "damn, I wish I could do that," but now after years of art classes and messing around with digital art I can actually effectively use these xD. No more just gaping at the screen or trying and failing Thanks!

[@sandhyadahal3577]

you are a really good drawer you increased my intrest in drawing.thankyou so much!

[@shadowndraw]

[@nabelanoviandini5599]

[@thehenwithatie]

Black Prismacolor. It's just a black colored pencil.

[@nabelanoviandini5599]

[@jaslawrence]

Thanks to you I now draw better than I ever did in my life!! You are my favorite artist! I'll always watch your videos!!!

[@SuperNjepsen]

You're awesome and whenever I have a question about drawing something, I always go and watch one of your videos! You explain everything so clearly! Thank you!!!

[@SpyderRyder3600]

*looks at my drawing* Well, I can always SAY I intended it to be the dude from Megamind...

[@pepesquirtal4801]

I hate making the eyes it takes me forever to make them look similar

[@toujoursparfaite9725]

Looks like Naomi Misora from Death Note.

[@479210251]

Mark you truly are the greatest art teacher I've had the pleasure to learn from

[@12baysidesjer55555]

Couldn't watch this in chrome but opened it up in incognito and it worked fine, this video was super useful to me, thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@zaffie730]

The "realistic style" videos seriously helped me find my drawing style. I've been trying to do the conventional anime style, but I failed no matter what. This style is MUCH more easier for me ! Thank you!

[@fmoua12]

I love how good you are about telling us what to do! I love it!

[@REIREI29]

These vids are SO helpful. My Anime/Manga has improved drasticallly because of these video's. THANK you markcrilley.

[@EasyKnightStudio]

Drawing it really just like anything else in life, you need to put in the hours and effort to see results. Some people are naturally more artistic to start with but someone with less skill can easily surpass them but working on their abilities. Mark is a great drawer because he draws literally everyday.

[@MrSweetkid321]

This man tells us from START to END. He makes since.... You're the best! 😉

[@RoMayDrako]

I am an ex artist who had to stop due to injury, years later I have been told to pick up the pencil again I am finding these videos so useful. It is amazing what you forget after so many years.

[@elizabethbanks2236]

mark u are a true artist as we say in france magnific u are an inspiration to all and the world will remember u for your true passion for art THANKS

[@twarrior2501]

That's so beautiful the way to make realistic manga face, thank you for helping to draw almost everything in your videos. Great Job!!!. PD. Your style almost looks like found in Gantz female characters.

[@maruyu]

Mark Crilley, thanks to you, I've learned how to draw like I always wanted. Thank you SO MUCH

[@no2475]

So I just drew my first manga face. :D *feels proud* It's nothing compared to what you can do but it's a lot better compared to what I could do before I watched any of your videos. You have great skill and your videos are very helpful! Thank you!

[@Hirrient]

This was a wonderful video! Nothing too heavy, either. Thanks once again for lending your talent to us, and if you wouldn't mind it too much, I would like to see how you draw scars/scarring/bruises/wounds and moles/beautyspots. And I find drawing someone shrugging very difficult, you know? If you've already uploaded videos of those, I'll gladly dig deeper into your inspiringly vast collection of videos. Thanks for your time and videos, Mark Crilley! ˜

[@aquamarch1495]

Everyone can draw....it just takes a shitload of practice, patience, and dedication. You can't expect to draw a perfect picture when it's your first time drawing :P Excellent tutorial by the way! :D

[@applefan9999]

Can you do many more videos like this? I would very much appreciate a series of how-to videos for placement when realistic manga characters strike poses. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@barkboy712]

Your video completely improved my drawing abilities!

[@nieshadeshae9860]

thank you Mark Crilley your videos have really helped me improve my drawings, your my artistic roll model, thanks again .............yea keep the nose kinda simple.

[@logan5980]

Thanks to you I've got better at drawing!! 😃 Thank you so much, also I used this video to draw my own. 😊

[@MissZebraHat96]

thank you soooo much ever since i started watching your videos in march i have learned sooooo much when i first watched this video a few months ago i could not draw this at all ive gon through so much paper just to draw this and now when i tred it a few months layter i finaly got it! all you other videos have helped me so much to! your deffantly my roal model i wish that i will be able to draw as good as you someday. your my favorite artist and i would buy your books but i can never find them

[@guapitatessa]

we are enjoying watching your talent, Mark Thanks!I will try to develop the gift .

[@mikachirou6147]

I've been drawing since I was about twelve (I'm seventeen now) and my characters are pretty ok, I guess. My fault is probably being too lazy to do guidelines, so they tend to have a flattened look about them. Your work is pretty amazing Mark Crilley! Hopefully in a few years I can get at least a little closer to being a good artist like you!

[@Dragondenkeeper]

...I never knew drawing a circle would be hard...til now. Great video by the way, really helpful!

[@joshwaddey16]

Mark "it really doesnt have to be a perfect circle" right after he just drew in a freaking perfect free hand circle >

[@kaethescarlet9881]

This really helpful a lot! I love your videos Mark!

[@shadowcatluvver22]

I love the way you talk.... Is that weird? You like.... answer yourself... and snicker at yourself. :P It's cute. You're amazing at drawing. I LOVE watching your videos! Helps me out a lot with my own drawing! :D

[@TheShadyfan100]

your so lucky to have a published comic! and the guidelines really do help seeing as I am a beginner :D.

[@Aero8591]

so happy i found mark best teacher EVER!!

[@evermore1girl]

I am just in awe that you never have to use a rubber until you want to!

[@sgtjake95]

You're so good! I love all of your drawing videos. I'm a big manga and anime fan and I've been drawing it for about six or five years now and I'm no where as good as you. I hoped you enjoyed this comment, I'll back with another one...real soon!

[@lazurus187]

WOW, I wish I could draw as good as you, LOVE your work, a friend told me about you today actually, I'm impressed really, you gave me ideas, I could learn a lot from you, I'll spread the word

[@MonikaPopik]

I subscribed you before I watched your videos

[@KamandJules]

Omg i loved this "manga" person you r truly and artist i went right away to buy the book you have out! You have inspired me to start drawing "manga people"! (OR TRYING AT LEASE) hahaha

[@cool123247]

Thanks Mark... can you post a Video showing how to draw same manga face in different directions, like straight, 45 degrees, looking left or right and other any other tips that you may come up with (like how to draw when manga face is looking up, down, etc) By the way, I have asked few of my friends in US to buy me your books, I hoping to "Self" study using them :)

[@Iriien]

@jammer33man you can add a nose bridge with shadows (if you want with colours) also cheekbones and so on can be done with light shadows you would have to decide where your light comes from and then draw the highlights in the hair and the shadows in the face dependingt from where your light comes it's hard in the beginning but drawing is a matter of practise - as everything else is too - and don't try to do a great work everytime just keep on filling the gaps in your notebooks and so on

[@Graywolf848484]

you are awesome at draywing this is my favourite out of them all! ;)

[@guapitatessa]

Hello Mark, When God created you with so many blessing. He created you perfectly in the womb of your mother. You know Mark? God is happy watching you doing your talent and shared with us. I hope that you praise God with your talent and wisdon that God gives you. You know its one of us have a talent,and blessings. Thanks mark You inspiring me and reminding my father who's now in heaven. He had also a blessing like you. I have also that talent but, I didn't develop it. Now i'm inspired wyou.

[@jcbmusicpublishing9730]

Yay, finally, thanks, your videos are fantastic - just drawn a perfect manga face :D Thank you awesome drawing person :D xx

[@raeftuttle275]

Mark I think that you're amazing how you draw many manga characters . I draw myself but you top me

[@brritscoldinhere1]

Thanks for posting, it's really helpful. I do not understand how anyone can dislike this?!?

[@ashanteahope5769]

Is it possible that you could show some realistic eye styles? I think I prefer this look, but I don't know how to choose the eyes!

[@oscarToledano]

u sir are a great teacher i think my drawing skills got 200% better thanks i love ur videos.

[@ivanharo3921]

You have me with my first drawing and i aways wanted to draw this kind of pic and now here is my first one by that help him

[@wezturner1523]

cool i love manga. i've never been able to draw and always wanted to learn so i'm giving this a try tomorrow. considering the fact i've never even been able to draw decent looking stick men in the past its going to pose a challenge but i think if i take my time and use your other video's on manga eyes and hair i might do ok

[@ruby6348]

you really help me to draw. i was dreadful but now thanks to you i'm getting better.

[@chrisiboy123]

Thanks for your how to draw videos gives me much inspiration and able to learn and perfecting my own art style thanks alot :)

[@ValenWarden]

Now, with a little practice, I'll start drawing the characters for my book myself. My friend did most of them but there are a few I need to draw myself. Thanks man.

[@arsimmorina6183]

[@Shibby27ify]

Thanks for the videos. I love the ones you do that're on the more realistic end. I personally don't want to draw traditional manga or western comic style. I want to do something between the two. You say your stuff is to help beginners, but as having about an intermediate skill, I'm picking up subtle things you do that I would not have figured out on my own. S Much of my work as been skyrocketing by following your videos.

[@Briezelta]

almost forgot!! can you make the time lamps more fun like a little buit of song like happy songs??

[@vl_999]

thank u so much. wonderful lesson. how long have you been drawing? how long does it take to do it as amazingly as u?

[@VampiresExist0013]

Thank you!! Helped soooo much. Also, could you do a video about inking black hair??

[@annafzf]

omg the circle really is perfect ..... good job!

[@droidgamerm]

Great tutorial. I'm thinking about buying a lead holder what size of lead should I get for my drawings? I would love if anybody could help me.

[@moccasin0surgar0bear]

Thanks mark, even though what i drew looked very different it still turned out cool and realistic!!

[@TheAlunex]

Do you recommend drawing in a large scale or a small one, find it often hard to draw smoothly in a larger scale. for example when drawing a manga face

[@mernakazak]

the hard two parts for me was drawing the nick and sholders and her hair .. thank u very much it was really useful

[@ekdoetinchar]

all of Mark Crilly's work is great how did u get this good?!?!?!?!?!

[@jorelgoenitz]

what a beautiful draw...awesome!!

[@Kelpiehorsegirl95]

Who knew you could learn so much by watching someone else draw. Mark, do you think you could draw Allie Taylor from Twisted by Tayla Durham? I want to see what she'd look like a magna character. :)

[@Maaad-maaan]

Hey mark, I've been watching a couple of your videos lately and now that I'm trying to become a manga artist I've been looking for help on how to draw it. I've noticed that your videos don't really help someone on their own unless they are always drawing in profile. Which is what everyone does when teaching this. If you could focus more on how to create pictures from start to finish that would be GREAT. how to figure out where to position facial features when at an angle and lighting changes et

[@JenTheHealthCoach]

Hey my name is jen and my friend Cassie introduced me to your videos and they are very good keep up the good work :)

[@aultinbarltino]

Thank you for the drawing tips. I will definitely keep them in mind. :D Oh one quick question, have you ever drawn Chibi characters? I'm currently doing a project in college and I need some pointers on drawing them. any help would be very appreciated.

[@ZivaLunaDiviner]

mark stop saying that the guidelines are boring,pretty sure that they help a lot.(at least it helps me)

[@haidysaqr2011]

i did like that one and btw mark you're drawing is awesome !!!!!!

[@monstertruck900]

WOW!! I never new my real talent until I watched these vids

[@finchgould6538]

Crilley’s black prismacolor pencil is amazing. I can’t find them here but I bought a Mitsubishi and a Faber Castell black color pencil, both are nowhere near as black as Crilley’s prismacolor. I reckon the Mitsubishi and the Faber C. are comparable with a 4B pencil. His prismacolor is as black as charcoal! I have a 10B pencil, but even that pencil is not that dark.Oh well, for now I use a 0.7 black ink pen for the dark contours. When Crilley puts two dots on the paper, they look like two nice nostrils. When I put two dots on the paper, they look like….two dots! The girl on my drawing looks like an alien with those eyes so far apart and that small mouth. But when I compare the proportions with Crilley’s girl, it’s exactly the same! Practice, practice, practice! Thanks anyways Mark Crilley for another nice tutorial!

[@peacock13579]

Yesterday I couldn't drawn manga at all. Today I can. Thank you mark crilley I freaking love you! I have done a few manga drawings and I am really happy with them. Plz reply to this comment if u want to see them. If anyone does (unlikely) I will make a short video showing them and I will go from there.

[@RoyalGuardianStudios]

Love the tutorials. BTW, were you at A-kon in Dallas a couple of years back? I feel like we met before. My daughter and I try our hand at manga style drawings but this has really given us something to strive for. Our work is still so flat. Our work is better than it was but it can improve. Have any on backgrounds? I'll be here hitting replay often. BTW, used prismas at the A.I. for Interior Design, never dawned on me to use it like ink in manga. Thanks So Much. Tirzah @ Royal Guardian Studios.

[@charlesdutoit1991]

how do you draw the manga head of those from the manga facial expression thanks for the video mark sir but the other ones from the facial expression is much better and i would like to learn them mark sir

[@skycaptainrobb89]

@DarkCelestial1Being - well mark said as a beginner you shouldn't stress your self on drawing circles.so I use compass.but sometimes I still practice with my own hands.

[@robot01001]

Hey can you maybe remake this video in something higher than 240p?

[@Karista1234]

Oh my god, this is just perfect! Love it!

[@kiysumi]

You are amazing.You are a true artist!!

[@louisnawa]

Hi Mark, Thanks for this video, it's so much better than my art class when I was at school.

[@Maskedmelodycat]

Watching others sketch is a painful process but still very helpful. Thank you :)

[@ilovefinn924]

Awesome tutorial. Really helped me a lot: )

[@VCLEARVENOMV]

[@claudiajulianaramirezcabal8653]

[@ssage7808]

This is the only forward facing realistic manga video I could find because the rest are all at an angle And tips for adapting it into a male face ???

[@lulu8803]

Your videos are very helpful thank you very much and it helps a lot..... Very great job...Very talented :).... and speaking helps also Very nice !!! like it!

[@ViveeNess]

did u use BOTH of your hands to add in the shade to the hair ?! ... cool

[@LauWo]

@Mark Crilley: Thank you so much for your helpful video's!! Really great way of learning how to draw manga :D One question that's bugging me and something I just can't figure out: is your hand resting on the paper or not while drawing? And: I just started so maybe that;s the problem but I always spin around my paper to draw and you don't... How to practice that? Are you standing? What position is the paper? TY :D

[@isaac50006]

mark you the best ive seen
