_Omg-_ _I didn't know you had a youtube account...-_ _I have your "Mastering Manga 2" book, my best friend gave it to me._

[@yipyomorgan4380]

This was the first video I ever watched of yours years ago and the very same video that made me want to be an artist. Thank you for being awesome and uploading everything. Really inspiring watching this channel grow to one of the most well-known and respected HTD channels on KZbin.

[@jarrodthekidder1]

Mark, this probably my most favorite video. I've watched it many times and it is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so, so much for taking the time to do this. Is there anyway you could do a "realistic" manga tutorial on how to always know where to put the facial features, regardless of what direction you want to draw the face? And please, tell me if this is something specifically covered in one of your How to Draw Manga books. I will be getting my first one next month

[@laineeey]

Realistic manga has become my favourite style of drawing, I love it! Thank you Mark, you have a new subscriber :D

[@markcrilley]

+Elaine Lighten Thank you Elaine ^^

*starts the video* Me: okay draw a circle 2 hours later Me: Kay done

[@michaellara695]

This video brings me so many memories when I was 10 years old. I remember that I didn't even know how to speak English but I used to watch all his videos anyway. If hadn't watched this video seven years ago I probably wouldn't have discovered that drawing is my passion and is the only thing that I want to do the rest of my life...so thank you.

[@gromidas]

love your videos dude ! I just subscribed today when I saw how awesome your content was so keep up the good work. merry christmas from LITHUANIA. btw did you film this video with a potato? :D

[@ichiban1560]

I love all of your how to draw videos, you make them so simple and easy to follow yet the end result still looks amazing. Thanks a lot for all your help!

[@jefferygrace1163]

That's such a perfect circle!

"Practice" That, I get every time I ask artists...

[@hurricaneq8411]

I'm making a come back after a 6 month hiatus and I wanted to thank you because your videos are helping me get into the natural flow again thanks

[@matsdal8071]

At first It looked like Matsuda from Death Note, when he is serius Matsuda Mode on and kills Ligth

[@FritzieLulu]

THANKS FOR THE SPOILER ;________;

[@matsdal8071]

jaja,sorry, but i'm not liying, Matsuda shoots Ligth like 3 or 4 times and then with the suicidal help of Mikami(his #1 fan), he escapes, but dies, in a couple of hours.

[@matsdal8071]

Matsuda shoots Ligth because Ligth said that his father(Soichiro Yagami) was a stupid dreamer that didn't believed in the "true justice"(kiras justice m8)

[@FritzieLulu]

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME

[@matsdal8071]

[@TheRealJSM]

[@TheLuckyBaster]

Nice drawing but quality of video sucks

[@Ovegrow120]

im so glad i found you, actually someone who knows what manga is about, and not some little kid drawing comic characters, and i actually see you published a manga yourself. and you keep on making videos im very grateful for that, its always good to know where to watch if you need some "inspiration"^^

[@sandracaraballo9830]

This was the first Mark Crilley vid I ever watched and its exactly the tutorial I am currently in need of!! Jesus, I cant believe it's been five years since I first started watching you. O.o

[@daniilrocks]

wow, this was the first video I've watched by you, i cant believe I found it all these years later. I love you man

[@trustobey1016]

I'm always coming back to see these videos every time I need motivation.

[@lupinebeauty]

You, Mr. Crilley, are the best freaking person in the world for manga tutorials of any kind. I find your work extremely helpful because i'm a beginner and soon enough i just might try launching a little story of my own if i can. I would like to thank you for your awesomeness and willingness to teach us first timers how to do things. so without further ado THANK YOU!!!

[@ilovefunnyvideos216]

i just started getting into this kind of art and i was amazed by all the detail and all of the work that goes into it. Thank you so much for helping me accomplish this drawing, it was so fun.

[@luiselu6208]

Thank you! I have always had trouble drawing the head, but with the lines at the beginning it just clicked! Thanks and very concise and to the point.

[@ameelya8956]

amazing....this is the first video that has ever made me actually draw nicely... AWESOME~!!!

[@Finreii]

Honestly, I find your videos so easy to understand. I don't even care about the video quality of the early ones.

[@Kooleen]

NOSTALGIA

[@oliluc9899]

I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and have loved all of them. The ones ive watched have been very helpful and I hope you can keep up the awesome work

[@johannaahdz]

Thank you Mark Crilley for being s huge inspiration! Hopefully one day all your help and guides will pay off. 👊

[@finchgould6538]

That prismacolor pencil is awesomely dark ! I tried my own (very cheap) black colored pencil, but it's not half as black.Gotta get me a prismacolor black pencil.

[@brenden6540]

markcrilley Do you have any videos that would help me draw a realistic manga head from the side view?

[@novumgenus7208]

Hi Mark!I what do you think? >Are usefull exercices such as drawing circles,linking points on paper with as curved as possible curves,and things like that? If so pls give me some good execices before starting difficult stuff (i think this kinda exercices helps to accustom your hand on drawing). >Mark you are special you knew that?I want to become an artist just like you i think you are special not just in art.Good job with all the stuff you do!Thx for teaching us how to draw!Best artist!

[@jonathanmathis5782]

hey have you done any big people like with pear shaped torsos and huge arms, it should at least be on par with bodybuilder proportions

[@Red13692]

Crazy that I found u 11 years ago and u helped me so much with my art

[@XxMangaMilleniumxX]

Markcriley I'm an amateur artist & I was wondering if u have any tips on drawing the circle shape quickly with out messing it up

[@subaru2022]

okay no problem for the manga, I will do inking for sure :) so no charcoal as well ! fine ^^. my final question, what pen he's holding in the 3:00 ? a pencil colour ?

[@jkbwillie]

I haven't watched you in three years, today you showed up in my recommended videos. I recognized your voice before the channel name.

[@glennmayo1126]

Hey Mark. Just starting out, and your videos are a great resource. Any chance you could redo this video in HD? Thanks!

[@niyamshah6265]

your videos are the best I have ever seen for manga. I have done manga for many years and you are very impressive in your style of drawing. can you please do a video on complex anime?

[@bugcurserecords]

So So Helpful! Thank you! Someone in my grade asked me to illustrate comics for him and the only realistic but cartoonish way to draw it that i could think of was manga! this was very helpful thank you!

[@taning666]

If I were to rate all my subscribed channel in KZbin, Your channel will be the top 1 and will stay there for a very long time. You inspired me to go back to my old hobby that i used to do since I stopped drawing during my primary school days. It's like the artistic side of myself is awake again from long years of hibernation. LOL! So my sincere THANK YOU Mr. Rilley for the videos that you continue making for us especially for the newbies and amateurs that includes myself. More power! Godbless!

[@UmbreonFlash]

Thanks to you, I have leveled up on my drawing skills.

[@ElocinLuna]

whenever you say at the very end of your videos that you hope we find them useful. im always thinking to myself "i always find them useful" im very good at drawing manga, im self taught and have been drawing for years now but need work on more complex things like poses and things here and there. and watching your videos, im memorizing all these techniques you use so i can use them when i draw too. :)

[@atleast8raccoons]

He just casually drew a perfect circle. I'm jealous!

[@LadySwampster]

What kind of pencil did you use for the eyes/nose/mouth? The lines look so clean I'd love to get hold of one! Please answer ^^

[@addicted2music241]

I absolutely love watching him, my art comes out exactly like Mark's. i guess practice and experience pays off.

[@nathanielscheurer1821]

Mark, could you possibly make a video about the techniques of drawing hair ??

[@HH-xs2gm]

I remember when I watch his videos when I was little. Coming back to watch them to regain my artistic skills.

[@archangelwarrior2556]

Hey Mark, I really want to know what kind of pencils would be useful on my drawing. What's you're recommendation?

[@kellisauer4681]

I love the realistic manga faces people draw.

[@pepsifreak1204]

Do you keep all your drawings from the videos or just toss them? You make it look soo easy!

[@thewanderingwriter4448]

I just want to leave a comment to say thank you so much for this, I've been struggeling on trying to make a decent male character but I just couldn't get the eyes or hair or any of the face right, this really helps me out and now I've been doing a lot better, Thank you Mark. :)

[@dindoalzate3289]

is it a charcoal pencil you are using,for darker lines?thank u☺

[@elizabethdidi1441]

I loooove your videos i started watching some 1year ago and thanks to them i got better in my drawings :) youre awsome :D

[@Metalheadjohny]

Could you make a video on some basics? How do your lines and shapes (circles ovals and so on...) look that good? Mine look way different...now of course I only started I do not expect to reach your level that fast but it would be beneficial to know what to strive for

[@ericrota8049]

would you mind telling me some of the tools that you use? by the way, you're really good.

[@juggole8475]

I remember watching this in 4th grade, and this video made me start drawing. man how time flies.

[@dxaviorsith5603]

Thx this video helped me a lot, I like how you break it down step by step, and then you still explain it, great tutorial, thx!

[@AlexZakharov1]

Thank you very much Mark, it is very helpful indeed :) Can you tell me where are the stores so you can order your books...

[@markcrilley]

Alexander Zakharov Online stores like Amazon are where you can find them for sure.

[@AlexZakharov1]

Great :) Thank you very much

[@DjoxTheSoulEater]

Mark you probobly heard this 1000 times but you are really amazing :) I started drawing manga few years ago and i learned most of the things ( we can never know everything about anything so; XD) But you and your drawings are my real inspiration. Just wanted to thank you ^_^

[@TrickyCustomer]

Thank you for the awesome drawing tuition, I have followed your guide and am happy with the results :-) I have learned loads and will keep at it to hopefully one day get to you standard! Subscribed!

[@kyriv4661]

is it okay to use a perfect square for manga faces or the circle is better ?

[@rachelrose1830]

I was wondering if you could make a guide on how to draw cartoons including anime because I really can't get much from your videos it would help if you made a guide. PS I am making a manga with my friends make a video with a few pionters

[@sushimyroll]

Can you use the circle to have the person's face in the middle as a portrait like drawing and behind or would it only be used for angled faces?

[@ByKrissta]

You are very good.Please tell me what pencil you use.The black one for the eyes.

[@mustafasalahuddin3426]

It's a black Prisma Colour pencil. Prisma Colour is the name of the company

[@Tiana6499]

@mike crilley can you plz do some videos on how to draw the characters from teen titans I've looked up on how to draw them but they don't explain as well as you do and they are all in time lapse.

[@LoLAgonMan]

Woa, the pencil you used for the eyes is so dark, what kind of pencil is it? The highest I have is a 3B, which is what i thought was the highest o:

[@diegotorres7441]

[@auraliab.4146]

I want to ask a question, How much money did you make when you put out your book? I'm a writer and drawer and I recently started making a story that might go out one day. So I am very curious about all the details.

[@Loempia2316]

Mark, could you please make another tutorial about how age affects the face? thanks in advance

[@pigeon1765]

I used to struggle so hard at drawing a single eye and now 11 years later I can do it in my sleep... Keep practicing kids

[@anchorart1]

Ha, even the initial circle is damn near perfect. You sir are studied and talented.

[@friebender]

@03LukaVocaloid he is right in some point holding the pencil is like training with weights you can throw the weights around the room, it will train your arm, but it isnt the efficient way to get muscles, but your right the skill is way more important :D (but if you train it wrong you wont get a too good feeling on how to use the pencil)

[@keetzalcazaren9064]

yeah........i love ur vids and ive just subscribed yesterday ^_^ u have a really nice drawing skills

[@SonicSuper121]

Do you think you could draw Sora from Kingdom Hearts 2

[@EnergieDan]

Could you do a full length male anatomy tutorial like you've done twice with the female anatomy? My proportions are always off when I'm done sketching.
