How to Draw Manga Faces [Part 2: SHONEN]

[@biankapal1431]

it's a bit ironic that the shojo style is all about making the characters look like "pretty boys" yet I find the shonen style character much more attractive

[@mgilkey15]

Hey markcrilley i just wanted to let you know that your how to draw manga videos are absolutely incredible. They just blow my mind how professionally well you draw and shade in. Your videos have helped me a whole lot when drawing manga. Please continue to make more videos and to showcase your teachings. I'm honored to be known as one of your students on the other side of the internet.

[@DragoDerRebellXD]

personally i love to mix up shojo and shonen features since i love both artstyles, thats what shaped my own drawingstyle :D very informative video mark :)

[@myspilledtea]

Wow. I remember this channel when you just started out. Congrats. I applaud you on your many subs, views, and hard work, Mr. Crilley.

[@Rari1022]

A video of shonen and shojo style girls would be awesome too. Great videos!!!

[@misscherieme]

dear mark crilley, your videos are amazing, it really makes everything easier. especially "thumbs down mitten" had saved my life about ears. they make me want to draw every single time. and now i'm going to draw. sincerely, mangaka-in-training.

[@Shweya_]

i gotta keep myself from staring at the shonen guy OwO

[@jemimahcasey6734]

Help to that, just imagine him wearing a bikini.

[@Shweya_]

Jemimah Casey that would be cool. Couldn't staph staring at that either his face is too hat ヽ( ´ー｀)ノ

[@SalmiChan]

I really like the little line at the eye your black prisma color pencil made when its tip broke of, it kind of adds to the intense look of the character :D Thank you for always making these videos :)

[@mykieserban8509]

I like the shonen guy much more than the shojo :P He's like all badass and stuff x3

[@BanchanBunny]

Mark, I just recently bought mastering manga and was amazed at how easily i was able to complete the work with the help of adorable comic you! I feel like you should make another art book with a more tuned in approach to costume and hair placement! I know that me as well as all of your other fans would really enjoy this! -N.A.P

[@vyce5360]

How can I put it, the Shonen style is a THOUSAND times better!

[@Hutsauceification]

Markcrilley You're amazing I have to say thank you for all these vids, not only have you inspired me to become a better artist you've also taught me a diverse range of techniques. Thanks again man you're awesome

[@AshMae264]

Shonen & Shojo are both great designs but I lean more towards Shonen xD plus the pretty boy look makes a boy look like a toad in my view anyways

[@akou12]

I agree

[@ReeKitty]

I think these two Manga Face videos are my favorite so far! I really like both styles and I have a hard time just picking one. I always end up blending them together....but not in a good way XD

[@jaciejcjay]

5:52 hahaha! "Mark. Get your stupid thumb out of the way, will ya?"

[@Rosaeate]

before, i always make a mixture of shojo and shonen, thank you mark crilley for your wonderful tutorials!

[@pielord33321]

Ermm, Mr. Crilley, you appear to have made a slight blunder. According to my Japanese teacher (she taught us this so we wouldn't make this very mistake), "shoujo" is the word for manga targeted at girls. You have spelled "shojo," the word meaning virginity.

[@totallynotasoggybanana]

The correct word would have to be "Shōjo". So Mark's version should be fine too.

[@kairos8452]

Diana no its shoujo

[@SeireiNoRyu]

Every time he says he'll be back with another one real soon, it makes me smile. Dunno why. Just does.

[@ILoveAnimeMusic228]

That shonen is hawt XD

[@IndigoWraithe]

when doing these videos, Mark leaves the paper stationary so it stays in frame and you can see what he is doing, but he, like most artists, usually spins the page around when working so as to get straight, clean lines and not have to draw at weird angles. consequently, some of his drawings here end up with a messed up line from time to time. he's also admitted that he doesn't really have steady hands.

[@candiiiuwu]

Shonen is so much better! xD

[@sanriod0lll]

IKR?

[@jessicamcav13]

Yeah, the other is too...effeminate

[@lolapalodo7183]

Ikr XD

[@cd5898]

Kawaii-Candi ikr all of the animes i watch are shonen... i cant even bring myself to like shojo mangas or animes XD

[@biankapal1431]

+Kawaii-Candi agreed, I watch shonen exclusively. romance stories bore me to death

[@MichaelSHartman]

Showing the proportions, and difference is very helpful. Thanks. Good Job.

[@Jitsuman]

I didn't think the Shojoe looked too girly until I saw it next to the Shonen and i was like oh god he's secretly a woman.

[@itsantiepic]

"gunna try to get outta here without doing the blushies??" Lmbo!! Ahh mark, you'd be such a freaking cool school art teacher !! Love your videos :)) lots of respect for your work !!

[@RedDawnHime19]

the shonen one looks like sasuage uchiha XD but yeah, shojo dude really looks like Mj.

[@Byakkoya11037]

RedDawnHime19 Sausage Uchiha? Didn't know Masashi read Yaoi. XDDDD

[@emilymariejade6740]

The shoujo guy looks like yu-gi-oh's friend. You know that guy with blonde hair who helped yugioh to get his pyramid back... I saw that anime a loong time ago so dont blame me about my bad description...

[@saikatsune2085]

+EmilyMarie Jade Joey?

[@redicent]

lol sausage uchiha...damn autocorrects these days..

[@saikatsune2085]

Ohmygod Sausage-

[@Wesbert]

Thanks for drawing the drawings for the Delta Library. I won the manga/comic prize. And when I saw your drawings, I transported them like gold to my house.

[@gekkobakura6477]

i'm attracted to the shonen boys. :3

[@KanraNingyou]

Your thumb annotation made me LOL. And yes, you mustn't forget the all important blushies!!! XDDD

[@adrinelinerush3186]

am i the only one who thinks he drew sephoroth from the final fantasy series.

[@SugarPrincess]

+Adrianna Selby , looks like Sephiroth has had a haircut! Lol I can totally see what you mean ^_^

[@adrinelinerush3186]

yeah

[@marioprime1997]

You Mark and manga have changed my life, thank you

[@superunicornkitteno2636]

I like the shonen man (he is sexy ^^)

[@sdfjkisawesome]

these two groups are so diverse im not sure if you could even call them a style. They are like a group of styles bundled together because of almost similar features.

[@rosenrott440]

Mark you are fantastic! Its so nice of you to take time to give us such helpful videos! Thank you so much!

[@gumgumjambe]

mark crilly is a legend one of the best manga artists ever

[@jesusjrcarpio8888]

Amazing! It really helps me and all of the aspiring manga artist! Thanks Mark Crilley

[@thePcMasterboy]

This is the first day i try do do these manga stuff and Mark Crilley made my day super . I have the How to Draw Manga book and i am so happy :D . Thank you Mark for teaching how to do these wonderful draws :')

[@TurtleySweet101]

Shonen rocks!!! Mark Crilley rocks!!! Thank you for showing this video.

[@Free2playonly]

It would be cool if you made a comic with both of those characters with the differing styles. That to me almost describes how this character would react in situations.

[@anYa2305]

I loved the Shonen drawing style

[@Sparkangel820]

I took a look at your drawings and its looking really good right now. Keep it up man!

[@TheGirlInBlackBoots]

Oh my gosh!!! Miki Falls was my fave series as a kid!!!! O_O *shock* You are amazing! *bow*

[@OSarubiO]

Oh Mark~ you gotten me addicted to the blushies (hence, the emoticon)! o//w//o

[@77789star]

I like the "SHONEN" style!

[@stuartlevine2179]

I love how he says "I'll be back with another one... Real soon"

[@theelitemedic3400]

For some reason the Shojou character looks like it would be in One Piece. Nice mark!

[@JCReiki]

So, main differences: Shojo/shonen: - effeminate/masculine - curvy&flowing/angular&rough - big "eyes, ears, mouth, and hair" / small(er) " - small "neck, nose, eyebrows, cheek space" / big(ger) " Great video! I find that the two drawing styles follow the idealized (though cartoony) features of their target genders. I usually draw boys in shojo style to have slightly more bowed/narrower shoulders, as you sorta did on the right of the pic for shojo. It just seems to fit better. Thank you! :D

[@MrOpTiMuMx]

Mark you are an amazing artist and was the person who got me started drawing manga and anime props to ya brotha!!!!!

[@mittns01]

i tend to naturally draw in a shonen-ish style it just seems easier to me i feel that its more realistic so its easier to get references on a day to day babsis

[@jeniGUNSLINGER]

Cool vid, Mark! I have a request, or a challenge if you will. Perhaps you could try out a series on drawing celebrities in your personal style of Manga? I think it'd be a fun way to get creative in how you portray them. Looking forward to more videos from you, as always! :)

[@gdiggle123]

I bought your book earlier this summer ITS SO HELPFUL!!

[@REIREI29]

I love both styles.

[@SailorAnime362]

I LOVED the voice he used when he was talking about the BLUSHIES!!!! Edward Elric gets blushies, not quite often though ^_^

[@KoalaPandaThingy]

Love the accent whenever you talk about blushies!

[@RMDMX]

Damn you Mark Crilley! You are a genius! Thanks for the awesome videos!!! PS. I LMAO with your thumb comment!

[@limelightmoon]

I love the eyelids you always draw lol I have incorporated it in my style but I need a lot of work with placement!!

[@AHZ2022]

Mark I love watching your videos because of your super awesome personality!! And your talents of course! You're a cool, laid back teacher!! :D

[@coltimon]

Tune in next week for another exciting adventure as mark crilley tries to beat the clock!

[@everfire45]

When the music started playing at the end of this video, it made me jump because I was concentrating to much on the drawing. XD

[@TheAMVsyclone]

dude the shonen face looks so cool you should do more vids on how to draw them.

[@Nefariousaa]

I'm glad I read more stylized Shoujo! I definitely see very younger focused shoujo being more generic and closer the image on the left, where older (to almost josei works) vary at style and don't draw males so womanly. (Not that it's really an issue, it all depends on the artists preference! But I definitely don't fancy the more generic style of shoujo works.) But I really try and combine what I like from both styles in my own work. :)

[@adariansdjornis7902]

Hey mark me and a friend are trying to start a manga he is already good at drawing it, but I struggle with artwork. Your video helped me immensely so thanks and keep it up!

[@ChocolateFantasies]

The guy on the left just got 10000000 times more shoujo when you added the blushies.

[@WickedChild95]

I like the shonen drawing best, looks semi-realistic and just a little better because of that.

[@evilpanda15]

I love the song that plays when he does time lapse! Really interesting vid! Though I have seen blushes in plenty of shonen manga: look at naruto for example.

[@StigmataSasha]

Video on unique hairstyles for characters like how you always see in shounen manga.

[@mangaGblog]

i dont know about shojo, but in shonen the style varies alot, you have more realistic stuff like death note, and really cartoony stuff like Shaman King or One Piece. So the way you draw the eyes, nose, mouth, hair or chin(actually bleach is a shonen manga and Kubo draws the characters chins pretty pointy) is really diferent from artist to artist. Anyways, really awesome video mark, Good job

[@Kaifanatic9000]

Eeee the blushies xD I've seen shounen guys to have a very slight blush line on one side of the face! Basically not as defined as in shoujo xD Loved this tutorial mark ^^

[@mellinq]

the shonen style looks so handsome

[@FogJohny]

how to draw glasses on a character? have you covered that? or like... other facial additions... like facial hair or a cig, or scar? would be cool. maybe an eyepatch? would be cool if you did that!

[@Littlepup93]

This was very useful for me! Oh and I saw Mastering Manga in a local craft store! I just need to scrap up the money to buy it.

[@xMidnightwhite]

I think it is an interesting feature where the neck muscles are more defined in the shonen style whereas the shojo style is devoid of muscles at all.

[@prost3711]

i love your drawings every time i see that you made a new drawing video i watch it

[@WolfFurrie]

I love watching your videos! Whenever you put a new video up I get so excited that I have to yell at mt brother that you put up a new video and I have to watch it as soon as I can! XD

[@kaylatjeuh]

I always say "I will be back with another1 real soon" with you at the end :)

[@edwardmanion4943]

Crilley plz we need a Crilley music album :D

[@TheMysteriousSealSan]

mark, id like to see a video where you draw a complete page!!! it doesn't have to be from brody's ghost, but I think it would be cool to watch the process you go through to start and complete a manga page

[@adventurelover18]

yay! u put the blushies back in there!

[@Poggs38]

This and the first part really helped thanks. If you're thinking of other types of characters how about trying to draw a tsudere type character. And could you make a video on hands holding instruments, it would help alot. Keep up the good work! :)

[@gerbilstars]

XD hahaha I was thinking, "Where are the blushies?" the second just before you said that! I had to laugh about that. lol Definitely helpful! I like the shonen style more, in a way. It is definitely more accurate compared to actual human anatomy. I always feel cheerier after watching one of your videos. Sometimes I just think, "I gotta go watch a Mark Crilley video..." XD

[@IHauntYourNightmares]

Pretty much, yes. Manga is just the book version of an anime which is a type of animated show. Manga is usually made first then the show comes along if its popular enough.

[@Flokker]

In shoujo style blushies tend to be exageratedly broad lines across the entire face, which at often times seems to make them seem like they're in shock, as OFTEN shounen uses the exact same style of blushies to signify a shocking moment, other shounen like to incorporate the blushies from shoujo, only however if the style is more comicly than serious, you won't see this kind of blush in manga borderlining seinen, unless it's stuff like To love-ru, To love-ru darkness.

[@lilkhmer5]

art studio? everyone here knows mark is just a magical floating hand of drawing talent.... (but yes please do a video of this mark x3)

[@TheAdenaikeo]

dear mark i have been drawn all of your vidoes but can never come up with my own how to u make your own drawings and get ideas also would u be able to make a video on how to draw like u do with the shading and how u would hold ur pencil

[@AskSarahTan]

Oh my god, i really love you, and your videos. I'm trying my best just to support you,And i'm going to buy ''Mastering Manga'' I wish you the best. and thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

[@StigmataSasha]

Hey Mark, I'd appreciate it if you could make a video guide on with the lack of a better word "unique" hairstyle like what a lot of shounen characters have.

[@TheFluffyNekochan]

Hi Mark!! I've been a huge fan of yours sense I've first started watching and I'm glad you keep making videos! Just recently I bought "Mastering Manga" and I use it all the time!! It's really a big help to me :3 but if you would please do another video on poses that would be great! Thanx :3

[@TheSk8r4life15]

where can I get a copy of your graphic novels

[@AussieBlade1]

OMG, the Mastering Manga book i ordered is in, going to pick it up this afternoon ^.^

[@DotDotDot900]

I love your videos Mr. Crilley!

[@NemyaKK]

It's totally the style I want to draw in, shoujo drawings and shounen story :3

[@atomicsponge3793]

hey mark i have one question how long do pages in your comic take to draw

[@yugiohMCM]

I love the mastering manga book and can't wait to get mastering manga 2

[@Silvercross100]

I have to say mark, you are blowing everyone away with what you have gifted us with thus far but I am pretty sure I am not the only one out there wanting to ask this. Can you do some videos on Shonen syles like poses, body builds, pretty much disect the Shonen style. Like my comment so MCrilley can be aware of this for all of us Shonen and Shojo lovers. Keep up the good work mark

[@egregiousintent]

Great work as usual Mark! Keep up the great work :)

[@inrisusingenuity]

omg thanks soooooo much for making this video drawing shonen can be very challenging this is a huge help! This is definately a help for drawing male characters

[@XxDeadxxK1n9xX]

Mark, you should totally do a female version to this video and do a tutorial on facial hair. I would lol if you combined the two. Thanks for the videos Mark and keep cranking them out.

[@Miganishi]

As an art student I approve more the shonen style than the shoujo style; it's closer to reality and more dynamic.

[@TriangleOfDoom]

I love when he does his accents. it's hilarious. thank you for making this video Mark! =]

[@marioryanaljama2579]

well not really a problem but yeah i noticed :) though too big will make you lose control but you can add more details, while too small will let you control your drawing more but lose details.. that's the case

[@artsbybware4790]

I like the style of the nose.
