[@sasto65]

I'm a big fan of realism, so I love that you talked about, "tightening up" this drawing. That's rare to hear, but it makes for beautiful work. Great video! Thanks.

[@Iloveflowers2024]

I am focusing on learning graphite drawing at the moment but thinking of trying some color at some time and found this video and I did not know you could mix water color paint, pastels and colored pencil. I learn something new all the time. I'm learning so much about techniques, tools, materials. Art is so vast. There are so many styles and mediums. You Tube have so many incredibly talented artists. And it looks like Mark Crilley is one of them. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@simchavanderveen592]

I'm a 14 year old girl from Holland and I am obsessed with your videos! I have watched them all, and I really want to become an artist like you!! You are AMAZING!! I have no other words to say!

Kisha_ sensei I'm sixteen and my artwork is on Instagram as well. My username is talia_garrett16. I love Mark Crilley's videos. In fact, it was his videos that taught me how to draw and helped me improve. Before I discovered his channel, my drawings were terrible. I learned more from his teaching than my own art teachers in school.

[@marven.p6703]

I'm only 10 and you could basically say I'm amazing for my age check out my channel

[@alyssaermes626]

+Simcha van der Veen omg same gurl! I'm from Holland too only I'm 13. but that doesn't matter. I think it's clear we all love and adore how he does this.

[@karinuchiha4236]

When I first saw this eye I couldn't believe it was a drawing I thought it was an image or a real eye!

[@koo44m]

Ikr, the only thing that convinced me it was a painting was the paintbrush

[@wyndibro]

Me: Oh! I can do this! :D ~Two hours later~ Me: Oh...Oops, I got paint everywhere...That doesn't look like an Eye... XD

[@julias1873]

That is exactly what I did

[@Ella-zb8nb]

He he that's funny! :-)

[@joannvu1754]

+Ella Marshall LOL :) ;)

[@ChristianDa777]

Lol his books suck I read them they are stupid. But he draws great! Great job!

[@wyndibro]

I've never personally read his books but in my opinion they look great.

[@ignaciorodriguez3060]

MUY BUENA EXPLICACIÓN.

[@MiladySteph]

I love painting with watercolors and using dry pastels to add extra depth and blending. I didn't even know about dry pastels until I saw this video. Something about mixed media is so satisfying.

[@MrDrewwills]

O_O Can someone please explain to me how this is humanly possible?

[@nadiaterezon]

Pratice through trial and error and be in a good mood. :D

[@MrDrewwills]

Thanks.

[@pam5296]

I second ranaspana!! That was the most incredible thing I've seen!! For people looking for the books at Scholastic book fairs, if you don't find them there, you can order them online through a teacher who has an account. Win-win again, as you get the books and the teacher earns points to buy more for their classroom. THANKS for these tutorials, Mark!!

[@shinsjr1562]

You are the best ...I don't know what words to describe you - phenomenal,amazing, creative.All I want say you are really talented I'm so so so jealous.I try my best to imitate you but I don't know how to copy such a talented person!!! Luv Yaaa!!! ; ) P.S Sorry for the random name I have.

Vand Icescevwrbe You're very welcome!

[@Jere4319]

Watched it again, lol Funny thing about the human mind; we don't remember all we see. I forgot how many types of painting materials you used and oh it is beautiful. I love the freedom and validation you bring to the table to use not just one kind of paint but a variety. It really is inspiring for me to go ahead and use all these 'tools' I have on hand in a mixed effort. Thanks again.

This was so good. You sir, are a great artist, and deserve an award. Or at least a cookie. ;P I tried to find your books at my school book fair (scholastic) and I couldn't find them. I looked at every book, and I even had one of my friends help me, but with no success. I might get them on my kindle so win win. XD

I've been learning from you for a very long time and now I can draw full anime charaters and I have been doing animations and drawings for a long time because of you! You are such a wonderful person! And you are very unknown and I have been telling my friends. I have a question, do you have a drawing book? Like a How-To, because I looked and there are no good ones out there!

[@hazelbeaman9987]

In case you never got any reply... There are some books my Markcrilley out there. I have some and I recomend them

[@winterquinnhawkings]

Hey! Thanks! I posted this a long time ago, and I finally got a reply! Thanks! ^_^

[@romina2557]

You really helped me in improving on eye drawling's. The most interesting thing is I watched your other basic video on a realistic eye and then a couple days later I found myself drawling with no computer near by. Somehow I guess I memorized your tutorial. Thanks! You rock!

Sofie koforbryrdudeg I think he meant "What the fuck" as in: 'This is really good' not 'This is really bad'.

[@easilyamused713]

Yes, yes exactly. I meant "What the fuck" as in "how can anyone do something so perfectly"

[@MukeshSingh-tt4tb]

You can't draw that

[@cbviau1332]

Excellent art lesson. Your eye is so realistic. I will use your technique when painting my cat's blue eyes. Thank you for sharing your skills and love of your craft.

[@geniechow6888]

Thanks! I often wondered what other artists do to achieve a certain effect. This has been very helpful.

[@cherrylynnkirby]

I enjoyed that. I'm a pastel portrait painter and never do photorealistic, but you're right, as you said in another of your videos, it's a good exercise. I've been playing with a drawing program on my ipad (because it's so portable and there's no mess) Going to try this on there. Thanks.

[@paylynn8815]

i love how realistic this looks and i love how you do the realistic eyes they really look like a real eye or a pic. taken

[@danidunn4551]

I can't believe it! You're an amazing artist, so beautiful! Right now I'm drawing something "big" for me, and you encourage me to keep going cause I was going to quit! Don't know, I was a bit disappointed, but no sir, I'll continue and thank you for that! Please keep doing this amazing videos

This truly shows mankinds greatness at its finest.....that realistic Eye was awsome. and if just could have backed off a bit so one could see it from distance, then im preeeeetty sure one couldnt tell the difference between a photo and a painting. feel proud of your gift, because it SURE is :D

The hardest part is putting down the pencil! Thanks for your nice, calm and warm tutorials. You make me want to use my art skills again.

[@somethingwhatever1678]

Oh god! That is ten thousand times better than any drawing of a eye I could ever do!

[@akirencat]

I wish I watched this before my art project. It's a head to shoulder portrait (idk if that makes sense), and you are supposed to make it look as realistic as possible. I haven't started colouring but looking at what you're doing with the pencil to draw the eye may help me quite a bit...I regret my life, not being aware of this ART PROJECT

[@RandomBubble]

I remember when I used to watch his speed drawing of an eye and my sister and I would draw with him. It was very challenging for our age (6-9) I’m 15 now and he’s been my main helper in improving my art :) thank you

[@kryspark8601]

I was reading a miki falls book last year and I totally didn't know mark crilley made them you make awsome books mark keep it up

[@Sammytroubleful]

I suspect you have lots of followers that enjoy the time lapse. I'm not one of them. I'm so happy I found your site as I am a newbie but am really enjoying this. Please do alternate videos with no time lapses for those that are new to drawing

[@markcrilley]

+Sammytroubleful Have you tried my "no time lapse" series? Four videos, not a single second of time lapse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haKWloZqaKeWhtU

[@Maninawig]

I love your tutorials Mr. Crilley. They have helped me a lot, yet I feel a little flustered with this video, since I have looked throughout your tutorials, and have found many eye tutorials, yet still find the iris' complexity overwhelming. Could you make a tutorial strictly on how to shade and color the iris?

[@alexandraguzu]

I don't understand why do people unlike this ,you can just comment below but why unlike it?do you know how hard you have to work to be able to just sketch it?,!(in case you don't have a natural talent!well done Mark it's wonderful!

[@lalitadubois]

Wow...the eye really DOES look realistic. Your a really good drawer. Awesome job.

[@Don19762]
