[@charlotterogers6158]

You are an amazing artist. You always inspire me when I'm drawing. Thank You!

[@markcrilley]

Charlotte Rogers Thanks Charlotte!

[@lunasperidot8760]

I come here thinking:There;s nothing this man can teach me. 17 MINUTES LATER WTF have I been doing with my life?

[@JimmyFingas]

man this guy is like swoosh swooh swooh with that hair and im like dam dam dam get it together man.

[@leewoo-jin]

I feel you

[@JimmyFingas]

XD im getting the hang of it it take me atleast 6 re-do to get the hair right. Check out my drawings s1264.photobucket.com/user/Street_Smarts_Ramsey/library/?sort=3&page=1 Note the crappy one is from when i first wrote the comment above. oh and let me know how i did

[@leewoo-jin]

You're pretty shit :). You're welcome

[@JimmyFingas]

man I don't even understand if im getting a compliment or if I need to put in 110% on my next drawing

[@naomijay6132]

Shotin Play You're pretty good with shading, the hair on your characters is a little too close to it's scalp and I think you need to work on your face proportions, but I'm not really that good myself. Check my pic out at this link: www.pinterest.com/pin/558798266238174165/ My 12 year old sister drew this: www.pinterest.com/pin/558798266238174860/ She's really great at drawing, cause she takes advanced Art classes and through art she wiggled her way to anime, She is WAAAY better than me!

[@alexandragregory7061]

I've watch you show plenty of times. I love you work.

[@aisato5607]

I've been watching and watching for years now and I finally got my school to but Miki Falls..... Mark You are a wonderful story teller. I was so inspired to finish one of my works because of you.

[@taavixx1326]

Thank you so much sir! i started drawing again because of you and i love it :D your videos are truly amazing and really good explanations. don't stop making great videos!

[@DarkClown06]

I'm still having a lot of troubles when drawing hair, I cannot get that natural curved flow of the hair, it always ends up looking like my drawings have knives in their head. :/

[@WickedO1]

Sameeeeeeeeeee

[@WickedO1]

lolllllllllllllllllllllll

[@leilafuentess]

[@WickedO1]

[@dinahhampton4891]

[@galaxypanda4793]

SAME

[@jayson2006]

I found out about about markcrilley really late (2014) and i'm starting to watch his old videos out of all his videos this one of the most helpful vidoes EVER !!!!!! thanks

[@Amber-tk8hd]

Everytime i keep watching these vids. it keeps helping me over and over. But mostly im watching you draw it instead of drawing it myself.

[@artdecoangel9189]

Omg thankies!! ,without you I would still suck at drawing Love your Art :P

[@erictounge4549]

Angel Wing thankies?😮

[@faythemartin4278]

mark crilley is the bob ross of the drawing world

[@alexandriahenry647]

how do you draw so small but so detailed? Whenever i draw manga, it always takes up most of the page. A video or tips proportion control would help. [i seriously need help people]

[@samistrickland962]

Yeah that's what I need help in

[@alexandriahenry647]

finally some one who gets me, i have no idea in the world of how someone can draw that small but SOOOO detailed

[@samistrickland962]

i know right!

[@alexandriahenry647]

HIGH FIVE! (holds up hand for high five)

[@turbotortiose]

Alexandria Henry This may be a little late, but I think you'd have better luck by drawing with a sharpened pencil with a hard lead, because it creates nice crisp lines. Also, mechanical pencils with 2B leads are good too!

[@catherinemaestrogoodrich4128]

You make it look so easy! I took me half an hour to get those perfect lines. Thanks for making these videos!

[@natalieharding3854]

Thank you! You're now one of my newest role models!

[@JamiesonM]

Its okay Mark, I say "Fantastic" way too much. As in more than the 9th Doctor in his entire season in one of my singular days on earth.

[@OnlyDarien]

He isn't good at drawing HESSSS AMAZING XD lol

[@ithinkimoutofmayo]

The secret is in the pencil!!!

[@taavixx1326]

the passion is in you!

[@blakeconnealy1349]

the talent is in Mark Crilley

[@comradepepe5463]

Thanks Mark!!!!! I sometimes just listen to your videos wile I draw. Your voice helps me draw. I'm so weird I know but it really does help!!! :)

[@ObbsyWobbsy]

Very helpful video. Thanks. it was nice to hear how you decide how to divide the hair and create strads

[@danlizlouie4366]

ur amazing

[@BreyerCrazy1413]

;-; give me your heavenly gifts

[@JDSwagger66]

am i the only one that thought the bun looked like a rasengan at first?

[@UncleBlizzard]

Whoa, It's like you can SEE how the finished artwork actually looks while you are working on it -- so confident!

[@andremendoza3395]

dude I just read your manga! both of em they were amazing! brodys ghost has a very cool story

[@camellia1942]

I can't draw hair i can draw literally everything manga related but not hair

[@blakeconnealy1349]

that is me too

[@camellia1942]

Bomb Catcher now i can actually! just keep trying you will eventually learn too! But Can't do the shinyness of hair tho..

[@blakeconnealy1349]

Nightmare Fuel me neither, but I can do the shininess of the eyes

[@camellia1942]

Bomb Catcher same

[@blakeconnealy1349]

Nightmare Fuel ya, it's easier. So you finally can draw hair now?

[@G0d0fHope]

This is really a good video. You shade a lot, put a lot shadow on to your drawings, and also have detail behind the outlines you've marked on your picture. This is really helping me with my characters that I struggle with. Thanks Mark. :)

[@Shou_Fang]

I drew something for the first time in my life! And it looks pretty friggin' awesome! Thanks Mark!!

[@butwhatifyoucould]

You have helped my enthusiasm level for drawing reach an all-time high. Thank you. (And you're right; drawing Manga does help with photo-realistic technique.)

[@bigmouth0317ab]

SO glad i found this video. This definitely helped me hash out a few issues I have been having.

[@Deathkitty419]

Part of the reason he's soo good is because he knows all of the tricks and tips to do everything.. something that takes lots of practice and repition. thats why i love him

[@P0nt0x]

Oh Mark, as always you never cease to amaze me.

[@NasiaWords]

I'm thinking of starting my own manga series and your vids are being a MAJOR help!!! Thank you!!

[@peridotdoesstuffgaming595]

Dear Mark Crilley, you probably won't read this because this video is so old and you are a busy man. You have inspired me all of my life to unleash my creativity. I am 14 and Ive watched your tutorial since I was 8. I'm sorry to bother you, but you are the best person in the entire world to me and you have taught me so many things. Thank you. -Emily

[@AwesomeFawkes]

Thank you for making so many videos! I find them really helpful and they help me to become a better artist! Keep up the great work!

[@ZandarianTheHoly]

this is all just amazing. I have learned more and improved more by watching your videos than the years i have by drawing. Thank you :3

[@GfmDragon]

These videos are helping me a lot and I did not know book 2 was released so I'll be getting it soon. I was also surprised when you used an eraser because out of around 15 videos I've watched this is the first you used one.

[@MrRobert6610]

love it when you fast forward it when you are shading the pencil stays in same place and shade just appears like Haxs! :3

[@bunnyinaboat]

Lol I just recently discovered to joy of Drawing Manga and Anime and thanks to you I look like I have some sort of sense on what I'm doing! Thank you for teaching me on the ways of Manga

[@Gilarnan]

Your quite good at what you do thanks for the video..ohh i love the sound your pencil makes when your in time lapse its so fun!

[@shivanisharma5139]

hey, mark, I saw your videos on demand and it made me draw bettter thank you so much!!!!!!

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

I was just curious, what steps do you go through to make your manga? Do you draw it by hand first and then edit it with a Pen Tablet? Just wondering as I'm currently working on a little manga project myself.

[@trolololinator]

Hey Mark !! Im wondering if you can do like a beginners guide for drawing and how to get started and all. Thanks !!

[@samistrickland962]

Great job! You have really helped me improve in my drawing. I don't even think i'll take art next year. All I need is KZbin, lol. Thanks again!

[@mewkitty4580]

I don't need to learn Manga/Anime because I taught myself. And mikecriley is good I know. But I taught myself anime/manga.

[@samistrickland962]

That's awesome! I wouldn't be able to do what little i can without his help

[@musicgirl27100]

wow,you were a great artist!you know,last time i watch one of your video "100 ways to draw manga eyes" with my friend,and it was helping me to learn,thx so much!

[@russelldragonslayer]

why is every line perfect!!!!! i wish i could draw that wonderfully such pizazz

[@SophiaAnime321]

You were the reason why I got interested in drawing. Thanks so much.

[@antonen2012]

Thank you so very, very much Mark! You really have helped me alot. Im a 14 year old teenage boy who really likes to draw. When i was like 7years old i wanted to be a "drawer" Now im really into Manga like Naruto,Fairy tail,Bleach ect.... And then i thought why not begin to draw manga. Well here i am and i just want to thank you so,so much for helping me. I hope i can almost as good as you, ofcause with my own kinda style. :)

[@GodOnStrike]

4:18 what track ya got playing, Mark? So nice and calming

[@lookierebuddy2]

Very nice stylization, well explained.

[@markcrilley]

lookierebuddy2 Thank you :)

[@Robert64ish]

I struggled with drawing Manga/Anime until I watched your videos, thanks MarkCrilley, yoooooou DA maan!

[@noragarg2802]

Your videos are so helpful!

[@dicemm5544]

I'd really like you to make a video of how to draw guide lines, especially the circle for the head

[@beauxyeux4674]

you are simply AWESOME!! Just love your talent!!

[@kaylarichardson8784]

I used two of your videos for the first time, and the thing I just drew was the best I have ever done before.

[@erictounge4549]

+markcrilley have any videos of how to draw long ponytails in all directions? and in different styles(sorry if this is asking too much)

[@kittykat45054]

i luv the miki falls books! my cousin introduced me to them!! they're awesome!!!!!

[@wolf_of_ice2943]

This video was so helpful to me, thank you so much for making it. I understand how to do manga hair so much better now. thank you so much

[@howzmysite]

I like your style of drawing, it is so realistic!

[@alexandriahenry647]

i like to call it mangaristic

[@raidingyt5497]

As man, no matter how hard I try I can never make it as good as this. It's like perfect!

[@SuperPurplelover19]

I'm learning a lot in your videos ! very helpful !

[@tomas-pm3mc]

This really helped me draw some manga hair! Thanks :3

[@kiarabyrd8642]

i have been drawing for 19 years yall make it look so easy

[@MrThegamelord]

you are awesome markcrilley

[@ZeeMuzic16]

Hey Mark. Could you make a htd video or at least just a demo of using colored pencils?

[@metozalee]

Beautiful!! Thank you very mush!!

[@metozalee]

adorable bunny boy!!!

[@carmenhoh0429]

thanks to him, now i can draw more realistic-looking manga hair! love your tutorial!

[@otis8252]

This guy deserves a medal.

[@ROCkUguys13]

i dont know what he uses but i use staedlier pigment liners, and sometimes an 8B pencil, you can get those at micheals, hobby lobby, staples, and AC moore.

[@sweet9angel4lena]

@msp2041 A kneaded eraser, most of the time those are some form of clay that you knead repeatedly to keep it soft. I does make a great eraser and picks up nearly every thing you dont want without messing up your drawing

[@Kiapa]

Your explanations are very detailed but I guess I'm just a slow learner. Great work and arigato goizamasu for posting so many guidelines on drawing. I'll keep practicing until I get it! Just asking but do you have an email address can refer to you on so I can show you my drawings? Just asking.

[@DeusXPersona]

THAT's how Mark's vids make me feel! HE MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY yet I CAN'T DO IT!

[@DawnofTheTruth]

You should just try doing only circles or squares as practice. That's what I do, it is tedious (practice practice) but it's worth the results. I believe it also depends on how you hold the pencil (or whatever used for drawing) as well.

[@Haruhi1114]

Awesome Hair Designs

[@iowntwentymugs]

Thanks so much Mark, mine actually looked pretty decent, I only tried the bun girl so far, but am really excited in trying out the other ones. I have a question though, I was wondering if I could send you the final drawing to you, I want to know what I could improve on, and who best than you too help?

[@LovableWolfBat77]

I've watched all your videos, now I'M saying indicate in almost in every sentence! Oh well, I

[@nikkijenkins2500]

Do you think that you can teach us how to draw Yu-Gi-Oh Characters or maybe Soul Eater characters?

[@ForteCrossHelzRollin]

Yo Mark, is there a chance you can do a tutorial on how to do detailed long hair? You've done some videos with some-what simple types of long hair, like in the "Four Different Ways" video and in your "Curly vs. Straight", but nothing nearly as detailed as like in your "draw an innocent looking manga girl." Any chance we can get something a little more line-by-line for that detail'd of hair? TY for any response =)

[@niconicoknee3301]

been watching your videos for a very long time i love the way u draw it helps me alot i hope i can draw good like u one day :D keep up the good work -liz

[@dustinbolt9499]

Wow! Luv this vid! ur very artistic!! :D Btw, love your book Miki falls!

[@daisy3446]

[@fluffy1612]

[@emilysakura7726]

[@alexisstvictor5135]

[@smallvampire14]

I love the way tou draw

[@yain180]

@TheMike199978 IDK his, but if you are new then you should use a 2B a 4B an H and a 2H maybe a 4H thats what i use and they pretty much cover all my needs

[@HagelinH]

I'm bad at drawing off the top of my head. But I can mirror any drawing. Any tips?

[@SilverFilmsStudio]

@revanmaster He is! I am really excited! It's called Mastering Manga with Mark Crilley! It's coming out on March 8, 2012 or something like that, but you can preorder it from Amazon and Barnes and Noble!

[@jinj7105]

you are amazing.can i use a fude pen instead of prisma colour

[@ayang005]

@Lilot2508 I'm sure his darker pencil (color pencil) is a black prisma pencil. :) Hope that helped.

[@essie7198]

you may have already done this (cuz i just found your videos and i love them! but ive only seen like... three :/) but can you do a buzzcut one? i've experimented with hairstyles and i can manage most exept for that! and really curly hair, but i think i've given up on that one

[@ishouldtrustamber]

Nice! Im gonna do this tomorrow. Thanks for uploading. Because usually my hair looks like needles lol. This will really help

[@jhonxd5426]

can you please make some video (Manga Girl Hairs) to give us Ideas or techniques like the Triangle shape technique that you did last video , and this elegant hair and bunch more. BTW sorry for my English Hahaha

[@ALporpoise]

@markcrilley Can you make a video or guide on where to draw highlights? I tried, but mine just looks like a white hairband.

[@ryenweston605]

This guy is magic... pure magic.

[@FlutistGirlxR]

Hey Mark, I like to draw anime characters every now and then but I've always wondered how people create their own anime character. I'm a huge fan of anime ever since I was six or seven maybe. Love Bleach, Inuyasha, Naruto, DN Angel, Lovely Complex and it continues. The main character(s) in each Manga series are different. It could just be the creator but I've always wondered how you create that unique character. How do you make them look different from the thousands of other Manga's out there?

[@XDGB97DX]

@kira17kazu no crees que es extrano que tu seas la unica persona que le dio un consejo a mark en espanol?

[@90funnygurl]

Can you do more hair like the first one? So pretty

[@dillencarman4390]

love your anime your so precise and your think out everything before you did love ya man your helped me alot with my anime drawin

[@randomguy546]

can you draw a long hair male? i have long hair and ive always wanted to kinda base a character off me. i have about shoulder length hair and it curls at the end a bit and its combed back
