[@thomasprovot8851]

Kathryn Trout he worked hard to get to this level, its a bit sad to throw it out and replace it by «talent»

[@leviticus3000]

it is fair bc it took him tons of practice-

[@mangaentertainment]

Love the style of your male character eyes!

[@chele1520]

you are the most helpful guy that draws manga all the other people either speak japaneas or draw naked women

[@cheyberryc9324]

draw naked women..

[@Foxhunter258]

Wha

[@GRANDCHASER999]

OMG LOL I`ve been subscribed to Mark Crilley for about 3-4 years and I`m just realizing he`s right handed.

[@faeriiberrii]

your such a great artist and you have a relaxing voice

[@faeriiberrii]

YOU FORGOT THE NOSE FOR THE GIRL!!!

[@tysmchannel]

Sarah Backus lmao!

[@faeriiberrii]

What does imao mean?

[@tysmchannel]

lmao stands for "laughing my ass off". I found it funny because he mentioned in his video that we pester him by pointing out little mistakes.11:30 - 12:00 "You guys keep me on my toes, I will never get lazy".

[@faeriiberrii]

Lol xD

[@raquelferreira8977]

The male eyes look like Erwin's or Jean's from Attack on Titan ☺

[@jules9784]

+Raquel Ferreira Finally someone said it!

[@zainabtouqir5640]

literally

[@m9ant]

+Raquel Ferreira Yes

[@hemlixx3504]

Yeah!! xD

[@the_trippy_galaxy]

They also look like levi's eyes to

[@MeefCast]

I am incredibly jealous of your drawing skills.

[@AngelKnut2011]

I really appreciate how well he can draw emotion, especially the serious look. I always feel drawn into the expression. Thank you Mark Crilley. You're my Art-Hero lol

[@LaalByersGaming]

markcrilley , I honestly don't know what I would have done without your videos. Usually, I find KZbin drawing videos unhelpful, but recently, I've discovered - or rediscovered, as I remember seeing a few of your videos maybe a year ago - some extremely good ones! I'm twelve, and I love writing and art. I'm writing a graphic novel, and since it's my first attempt that I think is a good idea, I need to be thinking about how to draw characters. I've drawn my main character before, but I want to change him. Thanks again, LaalByersGaming !

[@xBasuraMan]

OMG I USED THIS FOR A PROJECT AND IT CAME OUT SOO NICE. I WISH I CAN SHOW YOU THE DRAWING Thank you so much for this video

[@ryangovender2101]

You're an awesome guy Crilley not to mention an Amazing Artist Mahn.... you teach me alot bro, it's people like you who Inspire me... Stay Awesome Mahn

[@khan6020]

I used to think that drawing eyes were impossible... But it changed until I saw your video here! Thank you Mark!!

[@djquickstarr]

Hey Mark. Could you make a video showing how to draw the eyes of a child and how it differs from the eyes of an adult? I feel as if either my young characters look extremely mature for their age or my adult characters look so young its hilarious. ID REALLY APPRECIATE IT! YOUR AWESOME

[@wackypackman1]

child eyes are more of a round-ish type of eyes aand adults are more like...well....like the adult eyes in this video..may not be much help....its probably better if he explainns...

[@YiPeaches]

In case you were not aware, he did a video on drawing three different of people; he did male female separately. It is realistic and not manga, though. A manga child's eyes are very round and large, while an adults eyes are more narrow. Everyone's style is different though; when I draw manga children I tend to make their eyes very large and square, while my adult eyes are narrow and very round on the top and flat on the bottom. Also, a child's eyes typically have more highlight bubbles while adults have only one or even none at all. Plus, older characters often have small lines directly underneath their eyes; the older the character, the longer the line. I hope that helps you, since it would be an awfully long paragraph to read if it is bosh. :)

[@djquickstarr]

:) no no, the length is quite alright. Thanks for sharing your experiences, I really appreciate it Nina

[@YiPeaches]

You are welcome. :)

[@katherinecoye6407]

This is amazing. Thanks for the video, it was really helpful!

[@markcrilley]

+Katherine Coye Thank you Katherine ^^

[@gabrielclements1119]

+Katherine Coye kinda weird that mark would still respond to other comments after almost 6 years

[@katherinecoye6407]

+Jibbly Jeb You have a solid point there.

[@EmeraldLilly94]

i always have this trouble. all the eyes i draw look tha same and the male eyes look a little girlish

[@masonmcmanus4441]

holy crap I didnt even know you did brodys ghost lol I LOVE THAT MANGA keep going with it ......!!!!! :-)

[@goe5]

Thank you Mark, I've got back into drawing after watching many of your videos. Hope to become a manga artist someday.

[@t.w.5993]

been watching your videos for years . I love your guidance

[@diaspiano]

You know what you are for me? Youre a defense for us right handed artists. Every time some idiot says left handed people are better artists cause they use the right side of the brain, and all that bullshit, I tell them to see your work. Tks man!

[@flanders8381]

The video is flipped

[@slayestslayslayer]

Dude u offended me....I'm left-handed.....

[@jsmurley1289]

Eiichiro Oda does a ton of eye variants in One Piece from the 2 lines and a dot for Luffy to Akainu's sleepy realistic Japanese elder eyes. Speaking of which Nico Robin appears to be an exception to the typical female anime face where she has generally small eyes as well as a prominent nose bridge. Also I'm curious how fast it takes to do just one panel from blank sheet of paper to finishing the inking?

[@ambaya86]

Please draw Light Yagami from Deathnote!

[@lortenasist7774]

I can't say for sure if he drew Light, but I do know that he drew a Chibi version of L, which in that video he drew actual L first.

[@belyndaca]

mark your awesome! you absolutely inspire me to draw! i have NEVER drawn in my life or have ever thought i could draw. i have never had a class or had anyone explain perspective to me, and with your videos I'm learning so much!

[@SOULarLioness]

Wow! You make it look so EASY!

[@Xfinity69]

Looks alot like tite kubo's style

[@mwalker3868]

Jean and Christa's eyes from Attack On Titan amiright

[@imalittlemonster09]

SAME THOUGHT bruh

[@mwalker3868]

Bruh friendship

[@imalittlemonster09]

bff (bruh friends forever)

[@mwalker3868]

We are bruhs for life

[@imalittlemonster09]

WOwow im bruh friends for life with corporal...but all your friends die so..bruh life will be short (like you)

[@poofypoofpoof123]

Can you draw a child's eyes? I get confused between a girl's and a boy's eyes, when they are young. Also, how do you add wrinkles to clothing? When do you know you have to little or too much? What are some action poses for females? (That aren't all boobs or but.)

[@mingshichi8663]

its realy helpful to me and you should be grateful that mark is nice enough to use his time and teach you how to draw and mark is a very good manga artist

[@Alaina_BrokenSmile]

Hi Mark, I know I have a one in a million chance that you might see my comment but I just wanted to take the chance. I have been following your tutorials for about 7 years now, I just wanted to tell you that you inspired me and it was manga that my Grandad and I bonded over. I have wanted a tutorial book of yours for a very long time. My Grandad passed away almost two years ago and today I looked in his old art room where I found “Mastering Manga” and “Mastering Manga 2” books, so not only did you inspire me and help me improve but you did with my Grandad before he passed and I just wanted to say thank you.

[@the_trippy_galaxy]

Like captain levi eyes

[@lolatheprofessional3883]

or Erwin

[@hicosexistence1046]

Abby The Professional definitely LEVI!!!!

[@lolatheprofessional3883]

Alfred F. Jones the eyebrows tho!! Levi's got the thinnest damn brows and Erwin's are thicc

[@BillAlreadyExist]

Christina Grohs it looks more like Jean's

[@UcanDraw]

Can I pleassseeeee ask u a HUGE question Mr. Crilley?? All eyes go from the outside to the inside? In other words, even when the head is turned 3/4 , the eyes act as thought they curve like you are seeing them from the front? I am having trouble trying to describe it: but for example, you put the eyelashes on the female eye on the outside of the first eye, then on the outside of the 2nd. This is how the perspective works? Sorry if it doesn't make sense. I am learning so much and just excited while I am typing too! haha

[@RoccoDesta]

It just doesn't look right on the inside :P Also if you look at your own eyes in a mirror you will see that the lashes are more clear on the outside. Does that make sense?

[@UcanDraw]

Rocco Desta thank u so much! this does help explain it now, it kind of just clicked for me finally. never realized how wrong I was with drawing some eyes, this is why I love to draw though.... I am always learning something new!

[@biancamerrell7522]

You're already asking a question. =)

[@drewsniff9357]

Mikasa and Eren off attack on Titan, Or Natsu, Erza, Lucy off Fairy tail, Or Yoshida Haru and Shizuka Chan off My little Monster

[@jessicab5448]

Yas! Wrote all the animes I love!

[@BillAlreadyExist]

drewsniff no it looks more like Jean's eyes from AoT

[@Bergzore]

The iris of the left eye should actually not be condensed considering the eyes are looking at the viewer. That is, if you're going for (semi) realism. I just noticed this and thought I might point it out. I'm not trying to be Mister Know-It-All or anything. You're definitely a more seasoned artist than myself. On another note, I find many of your videos very helpful. Appreciated and subbed.

[@junefulsom7007]

Mark you are just sooo awesome! When I was little my baby sitter taught me how to draw manga, I have tried to find good videos to draw with but none of them fit my style just right. But when found one of your videos.... well, I just love them!!

[@darkshadowswag19gaming30]

Can you do male eyes in different forms? I'm having a little problem drawing them. Just not so angry? Thank you!

[@markcrilley]

DarkShadowSwag19 Gaming Try my "100 ways to draw manga eyes" video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX7Jq4qvhKp_jtk

[@dragonouv6563]

+markcrilley Man you are great 😃

[@Sperkelderg]

Is weird that at around 7:50 i thought he said gays instead of gaze

[@aravyu]

Chloe Zheng Lol

[@zeininsky]

It did sound like gays

[@moniquemcglaun6410]

thanks, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video I'm totally subscribing to your channel! !!!!!#!

[@markcrilley]

Thank you!

[@MsAwesomepro]

You totally rock!!!!!!!!!!! I've read Brody's Ghost and its fantastic! I am a good artist but I do have or should I say had problems with drawing manga eyes but after seeing this video..... I just couldn't stop myself from trying it out myself and I actually got it right! Let me just say you are so talented at drawing!

[@TheEatMeDrinkMe69]

I love how Tite Kubo draws just about everything! He's just ridiculous! Have you seen a video of him just drawing? He just freaking uses a Sharpie and doesn't even plan or anything..... Wow.

[@leviathann6435]

Yup, definetily Bleach eyes, no doubt

[@wolfscare287]

ichigo and orihime

[@303chanman]

Toshirou Hitsugaya glad I ain't the only one who noticed. Oh and Toshiro, get back in the war brosef.

[@leviathann6435]

303chanman XD, good one

[@wolfscare287]

Liviana Dumitru thanks I really appreciate your input on that

[@bellabergmann5631]

***** lol thats Renji's eyes...

[@ihavecripplingdepression9562]

what are you doing here Jean? GO TO KILL TITANS NOW!

[@natalieromanidu8516]

I ask as crayons you use in this video^^

[@kellieholbert365]

ok, i dont see how he makes all of this so easy!! he always draws his lines in like five minutes while i spend two hours in math class just getting a jaw line.

[@azifazeez]

usually it takes 2 - 3 hours for me to draw a manga... but watching your video and draw.....only 12 minutes nessecery..... great work...big fan....i have almost every video of yours....

[@psychopathy9942]

Jean?

[@hemlixx3504]

Yes It is,It is 🐴

[@BillAlreadyExist]

Psychopathy99 yeah xD

[@hxsokie5174]

The male eye looks a little bit like levi's

[@BillAlreadyExist]

Dragon Meari nah more like Jean's

[@anrecadongilay4392]

nahh I think its more like levi's but jean's close too

[@BESTGAMER325]

you did not draw the females nose MARK!!!!!

[@turealclarke]

Same thing actually :p

[@detectiveshovel]

They don't have a nose mark they just have a nose like a backward L but more pointing out.

[@monsterhuntingpro]

Thank you Mark I really had problems before watching this with my manga eyes so this helped me a ton, so once again thanks.

[@ajax7586]

You are the Bob Ross of manga. This has helped me so much. Thank you.

[@NhungNguyen-sm9db]

Can u tell me what kind of pencil this u use?

[@jaydenbrown4980]

He uses a black colored pencil for the really dark outline when he is finishing up his work, but its usually a regular 2B

[@NhungNguyen-sm9db]

Thanks

[@meesteryellow]

Nhung Nguyen He used a black Prisma pencil crayon to be exact. Normal colours and Prisma colours are different. Prisma colours are used for shading purposes which makes drawings stand out. Normal pencil crayons and pencils makes drawings look plain.

[@NhungNguyen-sm9db]

Oh thanks

[@sharpshooter6638]

***** hello jellal

[@Sludgy101]

your drawing is always on point! i'm really impressed how you can draw so well without using too much erasers

[@sajararahmaesaldo2405]

yeah?

[@christianmortensen9228]

It comes with practice because when you start drawing all your really doing is training your brain to communicate your thoughts through visual images.

[@timeisgold7793]

Thank you so much .i am not an artist by profession but my passion in drawing consistently stikes if I have a spare time.love your tutorial..again thank you

[@yuuuta0]

omfg you are so talented. you drew those eyes absolutely perfect. I wish I was gifted with the ability to draw as good as you!

[@sequoia5934]

I learn from this dude when i was younger

[@reapergod14]

Man I love mark crilley's work.

[@SDINVADE]

You should post a video focusing on the differences between a child's eyes and an adult's eyes for manga

[@darudesandstorm6078]

I like doing my drawings in those papermate biros, it means you only get one chance but it gives a really definitive look.

[@TheMisy01]

I always forget to shade too. But seriously you inspire me so much. I bought your how to draw book,Miki Falls,and Brody's Ghost. I think Miki Falls comes in third on my favorite book list next to Sailor Moon and my all time favorite, Fruits Basket.

[@colstafford637]

I gotta say but you an absolute great artist mark crilley!

[@piratesparrow]

This video is super helpful! Me and my younger sister both learned a lot from it.It was especially helpful for me, seeing as I hope to become a manga artist myself!Thanks Mark!

[@tntrainbowzgreen362]

Well, I'm not sure if you already do this but I would recommend doing the same step for each eye at the same time (If you draw the top of the eye, draw the other top of the eye on the other eye) so if you mess up, there if fewer erasing and (most likely) will be about the same level and the same size. Hope I helped.

[@fishiitnt1460]

Omg Thank you so much! This helped me improve my style in Manga :D! My own style eye's were so narrow and too far apart (also too high ;~; ). I spent almost an HOUR looking for a good how-to video. I am sooo glad Ifound this one! Thank You sooo much!

[@WeAreBorg359]

Mark, you're an excellent example for aspiring artists everywhere. Once I can manage the cash, I will definitely consider investing in one of your books.

[@HH-xs2gm]

I am coming back to watch these videos. I love anime, and I love to tell story.

[@Gamereaper150]

Tea Kitty same, I gave up drawing for a couple years for it to back lash... so now I'm back on the grind learning again.

[@ShooterAbby]

He uses a Prismacolor in black and also a Dixion Ticonderoga. They both work really well

[@trgonzo10]

I love your "anacomically" correct way of describing proportions. "In an anatomically correct drawing, the eyes are one eye length apart, but in MANGA..." It serves a very useful purpose both ways :D Keep up the videos, and I'll be back with another comment...real soon.

[@brigitabryant9131]

I seriously fangirl you and your amazing art skills. I seriously just love your videos, I'm addicted. Im so glad i found your account. Its so helpful.

[@squidrog]

the middle of the eyes are exactly half way up the face if it helps at all. So when you draw at an angle, angle the halfway line with the face.

[@ImFrelled]

Prismacolor puts out several different kinds of black pencil. The one Mark uses to "Ink" with is PC935.

[@ulkakh1216]

i really like the way you draw and explain the sketches.....

[@lakshya13012002]

I've just bought your Brody's Ghost volume 5 and I want to understand the style of making eyes in many a style . That's why I m seeing the video and it's amazing

[@ThatTurtleIsAFanGirl]

I understand how you feel. There are days where you just want to chuck your art supplies out the window and burn your pictures. And watching other artists who can draw a perfect eye in a mere 2 minutes, can make the feeling worse. But, all artists go through it. Some more then others. There are times where you just have to walk away and then come back to practicing, and eventually your style will evolve in to great works of art. :)

[@dob0]

Nice tutorials! What I would like to see is a video on how to draw expressions with closed eyes etc.

[@travisyap3871]

THIS IS SO HELPFUL MAN I WILL SUB 14 YEARS IN THE FUTURE ITS STILL GREAT

[@fortheheckofit8956]

This is INCREDIBLE!!! Can't wait to go read your manga now! The art you draw is stunning and I felt like the both pair of eyes we're drawing me in. (No pun intended) love it so much! You rock!!

[@frodoev4375]

Your artwork and videos are just 100% amazing! Could you do one with a child with a pet? Or something around those lines, I would really appreciate it.

[@blacktogami3811]

this guys good enough to make his own anime series... bet it'll be awesome!

[@apriljones1013]

I used to have the same problem. (Still do, sometimes.) It gets better with practice, and it's helpful to use guidelines.

[@danasunglao8191]

Thank You MarkCrilley I will follow your footsteps no matter what:D

[@Thaabuddha]

i just want to say thanks because you helped me draw way better then i used to your an inspiration

[@voiceonearts]

I certainly want to get into your series just because I've watched so many amazing videos by you, so appreciative of all the amazing help! I hope to start really getting into adding characters to my artwork in the near future.

[@markcrilley]

Vapur13 Thanks!

[@kale158]

markcrilley can you please do a video on how to make anime becaouse i wanna make anime for my favorite youtuber and i don't know how

[@FrancoLacapra]

Handsome male eyes!!! Nice tutorial, thanks a lot!

[@ultimateruleroftheworld5268]

Thank you so much Mr.Crilley! I'm creating a book and you have given me an idea for the cover! Plus this video has helped me with my art skills, thank you!!! Also can't wait for the video tomorrow! :3

[@MsRoseruby]

Who here is still learning.o/.Let me remind you one thing most people just started drawing manga(if you started drawing a year a go this still counts)and your saying 'My drawing looks horrible' or 'I should just give up on drawing now'Well Mark is where he is now though a lot of time and practice and he never gave up.You should always keep trying you'll get there some day. P.S you'r not going to get better over night be patient with your self.The time will come when you'r happy with your drawing

[@Vrono21]

Man, it's been a long time since I've watched these videos, really good way to refresh the mind on how to draw!

[@mangalover5073]

I started to watch this video to see how you markcrilley draw manga eyes and I tend to draw male eyes the same way you drew the male eyes in this video but not always and for female eyes I've never really stuck with any style what so ever

[@jazmynewilliams5082]

For those who are asking what kind of pencil he is using: it's a black viridian prismacolor colored pencil.

[@zubychowdhury8956]

u'r the one who inspired me to draw anime and now im obsessed ! OTAKUS AND MANGAKAS WILL RULE THE WORLD ONE DAY!!!!!! ( concourer pose) >.< KEEP DRAWING! UR AWESOME!

[@birudagreat1427]

I was really struggling when it comes to eyes in drawings. Thank you for the video and keep up the good work!

[@Winner4good]

I'm thinking of drawing manga and mark is really helping me a lot .....thanks mark

[@michaelbailey985]

You've taught me so much and all my family is either moving away or dying so I would just like to say thank you

[@sethsworld2578]

Ur drawings are amazing and have inspired me to keep drawing!!

[@n2xaqualine]

Although this is a "how to draw eyes video" I was really waiting for the tip of the nose and the start of the mouth. Just to see the expression on the male and female with these eyes. Oh well, my imagination can take care of that! Awsome video.

[@snowflake6551]

Oh Mark, you're the BEST drawer!

[@kumozumo]

ahh I remember when I started drawing I watched mark a lot, I even bought one of his books

[@analhairs]

I have to be honest, at first, it appears as if his drawing is gonna be terrible or messed up, but it just turns out... so cool.

[@coltonoshiro4370]

I'd love to see a how to video that covers facial expressions (sad, happy, angry, etc.) and how the physics of the mouth and eyes change to convey that expression

[@Ulquihime04]

If I could draw like you, I would never leave my room.
