How to Draw Eye Glasses

[@mariahrichardson1745]

Can you do a tutorial on how to draw big and round glasses from the front, please?

[@TigerAlif]

LOVE the surfer voice, dude... "The liney-things that the glasses are attached to and without them they'd fall off your head things..." I really want your "Mastering Manga" book as well as all of your "Miki Falls" books. You are amazing and my hero.

[@lightyagami7734]

i like when anime characters do the glasses thing

[@meredithhamilton9122]

Yah me too!! Like when they adjust them and then they get all shineh! >w

[@meredithhamilton9122]

Wha?

[@NoobReaper21]

yeah Kira (Light) dies

[@meredithhamilton9122]

ooooohhhh. You should be careful! don't go yelling out spoilers like that!

[@infinityluna1172]

Me too (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)

[@Naarii14]

Just seeing the first guy and how you drew the lenses kinda below the eyes were enough for me to finally get it! Thanks for the tutorial, it really helped, and mad respect for doing traditional art, can't be me.

[@Thollis1987]

yaaah!! I love characters that wear glasses!

[@Tetsuo315]

Love the videos and your new manga art instruction book Mark. Nose pads, bridge and tempral pieces are the parts of eye glasses.

[@keithcollins56]

Thank you so much im trying to draw my own character that wears glasses and im trying to make my own manga book its kinda like a drama/comedy/action/romance its about a poor guy that one day accidentally meets this obnoxious rich girl at first the two dislike each other but eventually they fall in love with one another my only problem is i can't draw he's hair right but im not giving up i have complete faith in it

[@bart5557]

Good luck! I am trying to learn manga this week and then draw a short anime trailer in the vacation ;)

[@kayliexanthia5171]

That sounds really cliche and your almost definitely never going to finish it.

[@bart5557]

demario foster hahaha thank you for the kind words XD

[@keithcollins56]

Weird ? :-\

[@zackrai5286]

All I can say is Goodluck if you gonna publish it make it look attractive ^.^

[@iheartshadymrmathers]

Mark I love you! I've been watching you forever and I love all your videos. Your voice is so calming. I don't draw, but I love to watch you start with nothing and have such a gorgeous finished piece! If I am having trouble sleeping, I just put on a video I've watched a million times and your voice puts me to sleep!! Thank you!! I'm also very excited to receive your Brody's ghost series, should be here any day now:))!!

[@laxuslucy4eva]

It's Alfred Jones!!!! XDD #Hetalia This helped me a lot! Subscribe!

[@markcrilley]

laxuslucy4eva Thank you!

[@ShubhamSharma-sk1vg]

+markcrilley you're really talented

[@Oof-df8zm]

+markcrilley this helps loads, I'm definately subscribing to you!

[@ThisIsDipper]

YASS ALFIE!

[@whiskeylung]

I've noticed something watching these videos, being able to see close up on the drawing surface gives you a better understanding of your pencil strokes, WHICH in turn makes me wish I had better eye sight for when I am drawing live.

[@coolgirl6236]

The man in the video looks a lot like America from Hetalia. I can't be the only one that noticed that.

[@meredithhamilton9122]

Oh no, you are not. HAMBURGERS.

[@Pandadude-eg9li]

Oh god!

[@meredithhamilton9122]

Oh hell yes Hetalians.

[@eligiles3639]

That's just what I thought!

[@MsCrazyKayKay]

I'm so envious of your talents! I drew your GLOMP chibi picture and me and my friend drew it on my iPad. It took us forever! I really want you to see it because we are inspired by you, the artistic genius

[@durazmomo]

A-America? Is that you???

[@laughingpotato78]

ur profile pic goes with the comment :3

[@durazmomo]

laughing potato why would I be mad at America?

[@CodeBypass]

Really enjoyed your video, people seem to think that drawing glasses is simple, when it actually takes time and detail. I also really liked your how to draw manga book, was worth the cost and really good concepts.

[@lotuseatingstone]

THE GUY ALMOST LOOKS LIKE AMERICA FROM HETALIA

[@MsCrazycat717]

yes! Thats what I thought!!!!

[@xYURIxLUVxXD]

DOESN'T HE?! XD

[@e.g.b3170]

Hetalia FTW!!

[@cynolover]

@@e.g.b3170 YAS

[@haleyo3053]

OMG YES

[@highestcount]

I'm diggin the time-lapse intro. Much cooler than having a partially drawn thing suddenly sprung on us. Value.

[@801iykwim2]

The guy reminds me so much of America o.o

[@kennethrussell7]

Hi mark! You're so good. I don't know if you've made a video on how to draw feet (with and without shoes) but I really want to learn from you and your style. Thanks

[@MaddsPop]

In here (In the comments) You can easily see the Hetalians..and how they see America in the boy drawing...I admit..HOLY MOTHER OF MAPLE he looks like Alfie!! So...that's all.. Canada outie~!

[@MaddsPop]

Saffana Akmam Of corse~!

[@daniellelynn6800]

I barely watch Hetalia, and I definitely noticed it being Alfie :3

[@lukasthelordofyaoi3972]

My time has come. *[Faint Marukaite Chikyuus are heard playing]*

[@roderichedelstein1059]

***** || Holy cow I thought I was the only one. xD Alfie--

[@MaddsPop]

Hhahaa America-san

[@roderichedelstein1059]

|| I was trying to draw Alfred (from Hetalia) but since I didn't know how to draw glasses I checked your channel and when I immediately saw this video I had to click on it 'cause Apollo's Sacred Holy Cows or whatever they're called that boy looks so much like Alfred! Honestly, this helped me A LOT! Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much. x3

[@richardedelstein2483]

I thought it was Al when I first looked at it, Roderich!!!! XD

[@addieduque4322]

your are so good i get inspired by you but at the same im a little jelly at you cause you draw way better than me and that makes me give up on drawling manga mabey i should your just so good but you make tatorials so your actully helping me thanks so much mark,some of my charcters have glasses

[@markcrilley]

Thanks! :)

[@takeshitarugo2281]

wow you're drawing skills are amazing... all of you're guidelines really helped me in my drawings... thank you so much...

[@punchingcinnamon9120]

I clicked on this because I saw America in the thumbnail...

[@eylam90]

I'm impressed with the way you covered this subject once again you are a great teacher :) but I do wonder if you may be able to do a seperate video on how to draw sunglasses, because some of them are very different then normal glasses.

[@alquirahollow3762]

the guy looks like Alfred from hetalia..(=w=)

[@kaylindicker8778]

This helped me SO SO much thank you so much!!! But do you have a video on how to draw glasses from a half side view???

[@ericcabernessa9100]

ughhhh.....glasses?? duh~~ even can't make a circle T~T i am 13 , never hold pencil for DRAW , even when my math teacher ask me to draw circle...i will hide under my table like for 10 damn minuets :v

[@litzyramirez7618]

Lol 😂😂

[@WinryRockbellElric]

Hey, Mr. Mark! I'm glad you finally did a "glasses" video. I've watched it a bunch of times now, and I've got the hang of it! I've found that adding a few slightly diagonal lines across the frames adds a nice shiny look. It makes it kind of get the feel of glass. :D Thanks for being my art teacher! Stella

[@yurayuradaa]

The boy look like Alfred in Hetalia. have he watch hetalia? o.O

[@JellyFishDots]

I saw Brody's Ghost in the scholastic magazine! You're amazing Mark Crilley!

[@jumbowlshrimp4823]

I'm great at drawing girls! Terrible at drawing boys:(

[@yomiyomi3241]

so true

[@adoseofdork174]

Yeah same

[@zeldiyanarafat1627]

im good a t drawing boy but so hard when drawing girls

[@faisalmashhadi4330]

YESS!! The blushies. Truly a mark crilley video!

[@pacificskyfish]

You're welcome!! I notice he gets a lot of questions like that and they are really nice pencils!!

[@RoseKB22]

I got Mastering Manga in the mail just last week and it's great! Absolutely beautiful! :)

[@gregputnam7243]

Mark, do you sign your work? Or is "laying down the pencil" your signature in videos?

[@CrispyBacon101]

@MKZ4345 instead of starting from the right to the left (right handed drawer), start from the left then to your right. If the pencil smears on your hand (because sometime you'll have to go back to add detail or shading) and starts to mess up your drawing then you can do two things (at least what I do). You can either lightly erase those smears and go over that area again or can sightly pick up your hand. it also wouldn't hurt if you wash you hands every once in a while.

[@Ninjaskittlecandy]

Thanks! You really helped me. I was pretty bad at drawing anime before , but then I watched your videos and I think I boosted up my drawing ability by 50%!!!

[@saratalbot2274]

Btw Mark, the part of the glasses that go around the ear, (since I have them) they are called arms I'm pretty sure. @Markcrilly

[@RafaelBorgesRDB]

@pereztaastic I use both, and I must say that contact lens are WAY BETTER. Don't worry about touching the eyes, because it will not happen after a little bit of practice (and they are more resistant than you think). You only must be careful with your nails, your eyes humidity, lens cleanness, and the correct side of the lens (if you reverse them they will still work, but your eyes will itch and burn a lot!). Greetings from Brazil.

[@margie138]

so exciting! I am going to buy a copy of Mastering Manga at the book store tomorrow :) treat myself as b-day gift.

[@tarell676]

Another great video! Really giving a lot of tips and help that really work! And the videos are fun to watch so makes learning more fun :) The one thing I hope to find soon is how to use watercolor and colored pencils ;)

[@ozzieschinchilla]

That was amazing. Thanks Mark Crilley!

[@RefinedSorrow]

One other great thing I see here is that glasses can in many ways be used as reference lines to ensure that ur eyes are in fact even and in the right spot... Thanks Mark!!

[@KlutzyPanda]

I really needed help drawing eye-glasses, so thank you!! I'm glad, I didn't realize you made a how-to-draw video about this until now. ^^

[@chocogirl18]

@MKZ4345 you could start using plexigalss when you draw. it is see through, and it wont smear the lead on your hand or on the paper

[@aylasdfghjkl]

My question about this is SUNGLASSES. The frames are basically the same, yeah, but I wonder how you would incorporate the shading- would you completely black the lenses out and makes them opaque, or simply color the area you're seeing through them darker, or what? I'm not asking for a specific video about that (that seems really useless) but perhaps sometime when you find yourself drawing a character that might be outdoors, give them sunglasses and mention your thoughts on it perhaps. Thanks:)

[@hokkohono]

Hi!! I saw all your "How to draw" videos yesterday, this is very cool! I don't know why but today, when I took my pencil, I was drawing better! I just made some good drawings, better than I have ever done... You have a magic power ;) Your videos makes people better draw! -Sorry for my poor english, I am french, I hope you understand me anyway-

[@zegct1]

You have NO IDEA how much this helped me. I don't even draw in this particular style, but your tips are so universal that they apply to pretty much everything! :D Could you do a video on facial hair, as well?

[@RooKiE18DummY]

I wonder if you could possibly do a video on the box guide line he used. I found it very interesting and a extremely versatile technique. I think Mark Crilley is BA. Because of him I've been trying to hunt down Dixon pencils. Lol

[@iAmPesukone]

@MKZ4345 Draw very lightly at first so you don't have enough stuff on the paper to smear your hand. Then use something more permanent that doesn't smear around. YOu could sketch around using a H pencil and when you think you're done, switch to markers or something. Or, have a fingerless glove in your hand. Some fabrics don't smear half as much as skin does. Also, try to work from the far corner of the picture towards the corner closest to your hand.

[@nessiejake4eva14]

Hi Mark, I was wondering if you could do a video step by step on how to do 3/4 profiles like if someone was just turning around. I'm trying to start my own little book and I'm having trouble with that. Also, i'm having an issue with legs in motion. That would be awesome! :))))

[@logomaximus]

the parts of glass...the over the ear thingy is called a "bow" the thingy over the bridge of the nose is called "the bridge" the things that rest the glasses on the face on the nose is called "pads...your videos are great especially helping retrieve old knowledge..

[@Lukge5xxx]

Thanks for the elevator waiting music! ;D I can't wait til the next video, and the only part of any one I have drawing is honestly head and chest, getting the proportions correct, any tips?

[@LemonCookies]

id have to ask. any tips on drawing the nose and placement from 3 quarter views and other perspectives. thank you.

[@michelle40085]

Both of them looks good with the glasses..and they also look beautiful together as a couple.I love it...

[@OnlyLegend101]

OMG me and @BethanBubbleGum have been uber-fans of yours for years and today our art teacher started the topic MANGA and we got to draw along to one of your re-posts! It goes without saying.... WE LOVE YOU MARK!!!!!

[@bee.g.g]

I am so jealous! You are SO good! But now because of your tutorials, I think I am starting to improve! Thank you so much!

[@jennybear2902]

Do you think you could do glasses in profile? I have quite a bit of trouble with that and would really appreciate it!

[@DouglasDundee]

Mark, you have indirectly given me the definition of the word 'authentic' :] And oddly enough, I needed to answer a question for my spanish homework, but I didn't know what authentic meant (it's a cognate). Thanks to this video, I can be graded accordingly :]

[@emiliojimenez4406]

hey mr. crilly, i love your work first of all but i draw manga on my free time and iv been wanting to make my own sports related manga and well iv tried to draw a lacrosse helmet and im having some trouble with it. any tips? possibly a how to video for helmets?

[@iluvtacos1231]

Great video Mark, I luvs it!! Also, as a glasses wearer for 10 years, I have no idea what any pets are officially called asides from the lenses lol Btw, I love your Mastering Manga book, its so helpful thanks a ton!

[@loganhue5510]

thank you sooooo much mark not just for this video but for all your videos i really enjoy them and they really help me i dont own any of your books but ive read a few and really wanna get some (especially Brody's Ghost) again thank you so much your the best

[@samihendricks9870]

This helped me alot with my charecter Riley. He's super nerdy and I just thought he needed glasses( totally just called myself a nerd-i have been wearing glasses most of my life).I was wondering though-Could you show us how to draw...Drew Carry style glasses? im not sure how else to describe them...kinda like the new 3d glasses at the movies....hope that helped describe them better. :/

[@DeliciousCherryBomb]

Mark you are a drawing master!

[@Geck0GC]

what if you want the big eyes?

[@J_Themborn]

Just wanted to thank you for this video I don't normally like going to something but thats usually because of someone trying to force me to change the way I draw. anyway this is the first video of your I saw and I found it very helpful since I just started drawing characters w/ glasses my biggest concern was fitting the eyes into the lens and making it impossible to tell if they are wearing glasses at all. I'm gonna try out the styles you showed on this vid.

[@Das0815Entlein]

have you ever made a video just for chlothings? this would be very helpful, thank you! expecially for shirts.....and maybe skirts? but your drawings are awesome!!

[@kitchennoob4940]

Nice video dude. If you are taking requests i was wondering if you could do a 3 different way video for older people. Preferably realistic manga, slightly more manga-like, and exaggerated manga like in previous videos. Thanks.

[@TrebleSketchOfficial]

THANK YOU! I've been DYING to learn how to draw glasses!!!!!!!!!

[@ChewylovesSlits]

Yay! Surfer Dude is back!!!

[@CornMonarch]

Oh my God, people have started to ask me to draw them, and I have a friend with glasses that wants me to draw her. This is helping me SO MUCH! :D

[@GoldAcer123]

@markcrilley can you do 3 different positions on scarfs maybe one being blown one laying around a neck etc.

[@swedishgirl98]

I ordered Brody's Ghost today! I'm so excited! :D

[@SilkeWay]

just one question.. why are the ''supports the struts. the linny things that the glasses are attached to and without them they'd fall of your head thing? '' (

[@TehEvilWolf]

I love your surfer dude voice, it cracks me up XD "Keep on rockin' man! Keep on rockin' in the free world!"

[@addictedtodesigning]

mark you are such an inspiration

[@BiggesBEPfanEva]

Do you have any recommendations to beginners (of this art style, I suppose) ?

[@bart5557]

Buy a how-to-draw manga book. After you completed that, try to draw what he does in his videos ;)

[@02EvaUnit]

OMG I was so scared that he might not do the blushies. Mark Crilley knows how to bring the suspense!

[@raidingyt5497]

Amazing, just, amazing. I wonder if I will ever be as good!

[@MrDindjemek]

@MKZ4345 napkin under your hand while drwawing helps me. try starting in the opposite direction of your hand. Right handed? try to start at the left side.

[@deturner21]

Nice drawing and just FYI the part of the glasses that go behind your ears are called the arms and the part thats on the nose is actually called the bridge

[@MewWolf5]

Can you also do more of a plain front view of glasses and glasses in profile as well?

[@ayyXmomo]

I want that how to draw book. You are just so amazing. You are so kind & a great artist. wonderful. absolutely wonderful!

[@renetharpe2437]

I love the inspiration you give in your videos mark crilley, they help me alot! :D :)

[@sakura8112]

I agree, very happy and cheerful. Gotta love Mark Crilley :)

[@yordancho]

IMO you can never have too many videos showing how to draw faces. Also a video on dramatic poses would also be nice :)

[@NoTeaForYou44]

Wow you are one of my idols! I have learned so much from you and actually get to go to a manga art school now! Thank you! :)

[@Demonic_Penguin]

I was wondering if you could show us how to draw manga wepons or another video on how to draw mech like charters

[@lunerlilly]

YAY!!!! Now I can try to draw myself as a manga character :D

[@HotenFif]

yeah mark, i think you should make a video about several different types and styles of glasses.

[@789emerald]

I love your videos and I can't stop watching them I've learned so much Thank you. I was just wondering if you could please draw a sad fairy on a flower I have always tried but never could ,thanks your a wonderful artist

[@CBeard98]

i used to get so agrivated at how i draw on notebook paper with all the lines.. they i noticed how you make ur anime drawings so perfect .THE LINES , THANK YEW !! lol

[@SammyPinkAngel]

I got all of the miki falls and I have to say......... I was so moved I loved that book

[@Oceanflower13]

Hooray! The surfer dude is back!

[@ladybluebusiness8437]

thank you for saying its ok if you cant make a perfect circle or oval...as an artist it sorta is a relief to here it from you ^_^

[@OSarubiO]

Once again, I love your art! It's awesome~

[@KyokoKerasaki]

6:40 It's sometimes useful for people (especially nearsighted people) to lower their glasses entirely. I'm nearsighted myself, and usually do that when I sing in my church choir, as I need to lower my sheet music in order to watch the choir conductor :)

[@AdWelp]

Is it a special black pencil he is using?

[@ZeenockRulerofWorlds]

I too am doing an am manga, but mine is for a project at my school. It would be nice to have you do a video on a fight scene (including action lines plz). my manga has bladed weapons as well so a large video on how to do fight scenes with different weapons ( you could go into some detail with how to draw the weapons like how to draw scythes and swords and guns). I would appreciate it as well. GREAT drawing btw, keep it up. :P

[@animefan199802]

my friends call me a great manga artist but after watching your videos i felt like i was a speck of dust in a huge dust bunny.....your videos are soooooo awesome!
