How to Draw a Manga Eye, Line by Line

[@alpharratz]

You are like a personal art teacher. Doesn't rush, and explains what to do step by step. Thank you.

[@aliza_h]

If it weren't for this video, I wouldn't have any idea what manga (or anime) was, and I wouldn't have started drawing it! I've met many friends through my love of anime and drawing, and I've gotten considerably better in the past two years. I've had lessons from a professional, even subscribed to an anime magazine! Watching this one video led me to look further into drawing, and thanks to you, I've realized my dream! God bless! :)

[@markcrilley]

So glad to hear this A.H.!

[@midnandlinkforever]

I watched this video over 10 years ago and it’s the reason I started drawing. Thank you for everything, Mr. Crilley!

[@Jokervision744]

Yeah, same. But I didn't continue. I just saw how easy it is to start, but so hard to fail. I guess I could try another scoop and see if it tastes different to fail. When it's a good mix for my taste I could keep on going.

[@breyerhorselover130]

Twinkle twinkle like star Why is art so f-ing hard?! Up above the world so high I CANT DRAW THE OTHER EYE.

[@mimibahiti]

HELL YESSS

[@koreyblunk8927]

[@hanaeve__]

Twinkle twinkle little star Shit-what the- I GIVE UP.

[@aWERFRGT6545BGFG]

twinkle twinkle little FUCK damnit what the i give up

[@metamax813]

I am literally just getting into drawing manga. This is about the fifth video I have watched on eyes, and you are the first one to suggest the little accents from the bottom of the iris up, the ones you weren't sure of the name, and what a difference! Thank you. Subbed.

[@markcrilley]

Thanks so much!

[@shomidja9672]

Yea it really gives that something realistic to the eyes.

[@mikethompson7046]

can somebody please tell me how they are called ? I really love the look of them since forever ^^ I used to spend some time in front of the mirror just to look at them because they are so fascinating.

[@ayah1211]

Thanks, usually when I want to learn an art skill I go to your channel! your practically my art teacher.thanks you :)

[@markcrilley]

+LPS ayah Thank you!

[@EzyoMusic]

I go to Jazza and Baylee because I didn't know Mark before (but I do now). :D

[@valerieboudrias9102]

Animoo Ayah same

[@DullBeach]

I was only a small child when I first watched this video,now I'm old;so much nostalgia going back and watching your videos!

[@artsyflamingo3077]

Thank you, I have successfully drawn a manga eye!

[@0bsidi4n42]

I'm always just like, "oh yeah I can totally do this!" Then I follow along and soon my paper has tons of holes in it from stabbing it from anger because I can't even draw a circle. XD

[@nightcorelover5817]

Lmao XD

[@geralynmercado2485]

Same

Or wearing it down by erasing over and over again. :3

I remember seeing a screenshot of this video when I was in 7th grade and just amazed by this and tried to draw like this for so long. Now a few years later I finally found the source. Thanks for inspiring me so much you've helped me improve my art skills

[@smileycupcakescookie]

I just noticed that this is the video from his picture! Btw, markcilley you're awesome, I binge-watch your videos. Keep up the amazing art!

[@markcrilley]

smiley cupcakes Thanks! :)

[@JudojugsVtuber]

markcrilley hey man i've been trying to draw anime females as im trying to make my own manga about a female only world and i just want you to know you have helped me learn so much. the only problem i have is that i can't figure out the chin, cheek bone lines to do...have you made a video of how to do that? cause so far i looked for like half an hour and couldn't find it....and other videos aren't as good as yours i've discovered. so any tips or a link to your video if you have one?

[@lmoTK106]

This is where I began my journey to the ocean of art......Lots of shit happened in life but I always find myself coming back here and remember who I was, who I wanna be.....never let go of what I love !

[@elliem9937]

hey would you be able to do a tutorial on drawind on the computer plz im going to try it out on photoshop eliments

[@epicman890]

i hope to draw like you one day

[@stridermatchim6087]

[@opieaa7527]

Mark, I love how you comment on your old videos. It really shows how much you care for your viewers.

[@markcrilley]

+opie aa It's the least I can do :)

[@Tahira204]

This is so amazing, now that I'm starting to learn that stuff, I never realized that when drawing anime you had to stop yourself from doing all theses lines connections, and make it more simple. It's awesome how a line can really add depth to a drawing. And we don't notice the difference that much when watching anime! It's awesome!

[@maecagampang8620]

I watched this tutorial for the first time 7 years ago and this is the video which made me want to draw manga. I immediately then collected Miki Falls through the years and all your other works. 😄 It's truly amazing to see how far you've come. I love coming back to what made me fall in love with drawing even more Xxx

[@markcrilley]

+Mae Cagampang Thank you so much Mae! :)

[@SelenaAmayaMoon]

I remember watching this video when i was very small and I can definitely say that this has been a huge part of my life considering it basically introduced me to the internet, manga, anime and my love for drawing. Thank you for introducing me to my only passion and talent in this world! :)

[@markcrilley]

Wow-- Thanks! I'm honored :)

[@mallathefamer4982]

This is good 😍😍

[@vanessakleinart]

this is THE video that made me want to be an artist. i went through my whole anime phase and now i focus on oil painting but wow, where would i be without this video?

[@Animegus4]

Mark Crilley sir you are incredible you were the one who introduced to a world of drawing filled with guidelines through your book Mastering Manga. You have insane artistic ability please continue drawing!

[@saisuraj8859]

I'm really amazed to see u draw the eye very easily.Your drawing actually made me like manga and i just purchased your mastering manga 1 and 2.

[@phonecert]

Wow... I've been watching your videos for three years now, and this was the first one I saw. After seeing this video, I got really good at drawing eyes, when before, I was... well, really bad. I watched a lot of your other videos and drew, watched, laughed, etc. You inspired me to become the artist I am today because of this video. Thank you so much, Crilley.

[@woopidoo]

It's quite sad that you have so many people viewing your videos that this will just disappear in the amounts, but I'd like to thank you for helping me out with drawing aswell as stedying my shaky hand greatly! I love all of your videos and have been with you for quite some time now. I really hope you see this to see my appreciation (:! Have a great day.

[@markcrilley]

Thanks so much for your kind words! :)

[@jacinta8204]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS!!!!!! I just now saw the vid and I facepalmed myself... how did I not think of markcrilley the FIRST time?! Love your vids, mate!

[@DarkDax]

Been wanting to starting drawing Manga for a while now and you are the perfect person to learn from. Your videos are simple yet detailed and just pure helpful. Thank so much man! You're awesome :D

[@NekoSamaIru]

Seeing you draw manga for so long made me want to draw it as well. So I got your books Mastering Manga. I just started it. I love how easy you make it. Thank you!

[@markcrilley]

sasclom2 Thank you for your support! :)

[@altheaespinosa6776]

[@RamsonRulez]

This is what started it all for me 2 years ago my man Crilley! ,you made me discover my talent.

[@cheesi]

We watched this in an art class today at school, and we had to try to follow along, and I just wanna say, thanks for the tutorial, it's the best thing I've ever drawn =^.^=

[@markcrilley]

+CheesioTheCat :3 Thank you!

[@1201batman]

[@2fabulousgymnasts661]

My friend told me about you and my friends are really jealous of my drawings now! Your a life saver!!

[@mattking4236]

I find your videos really help full as i'm a beginner at manga and so far my friends are almost envious of how good i am at it

[@racoobi]

THANK YOU! I am developing my art skills, and it's kinda a hobby for me now. Crilley, you rock. I even did the winking peace sign (my favorite) :)

[@XxLeeLightningxX]

I can listen to you just talk about lines all day... O.O its soothing.

[@GenGrahamDjinn]

I must be at that adolescent stage where I fall in love with EVERYTHING, because I just obsessed for a whole video over the way you pronounced 'mascara'.

[@natsulynn7869]

Thank you so much, I haven't drawn manga style for such a long time, and this freshened my memory up!

[@tmshaw2003]

I'm 11 and I think you are amazing! You were born with a gift!

[@dannimay3496]

[@OrcaMorca]

I Love this video. It was this video I first found with Mark Crilley. THANK YOU MARK CRILLEY FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!!!!!

[@cleop7469]

The only reason I only drop by this channel when I am bored is because I get mad at myself for watching these amazing videos. Mark Crilley is just way too good for me and when I follow his tutorials, It ends up looking like a splodge. But I LOVE his art.

[@markcrilley]

+Pointless Gamer Hey I'm glad you watch my videos at all, whatever the reason. :)

[@cleop7469]

+markcrilley Drawing is my hobby even though I have never been too good. You, however, are amazing :D

[@mommatara73]

[@secretboo2057]

I have never got into drawing Manga until now. This is amazing, you've got a talent. No doubt you're verified. ~Alleh

[@iNightra]

This has been really helpful as I had just about gotten a basic eye shape that I liked but couldn't really find an eye with a pupil that I liked but this has been really helpful! Especially including the lines in the iris (I don't know what they are called either)

[@KirbyBirb]

Thanks for that Video you help my SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUNCH and continue so and you are the BEST MANGA TUTORIAL DRAWER ON THE WORL... Again Thanks for the Help.. YOU ARE AMAZING

[@juliastewart3105]

You are so talented!!!! I'm only 10 years old and because of you I can draw very detailed Manga!!!!!

[@Princeoress]

Dear Markcrrilley,i know you're not going to read this but i think your videos are amazing,and you have inspired me to ignore what people say and just keep on doing what i believe i can do best,and that is drawing,if you read this i just want you to know that,you have inspired probably more than the views on this video,keep up the good work!

[@naylaj9285]

Very helpful. I am a new manga/anime drawer and am going to take lessons. Until then, I have been watching your videos! Thanks it really helps.

[@nicolemarie011]

[@Tatenak]

@markcrilley Hello. :D Quick question Mark. Why do you darken and outline the highlights on the iris? Highlights have no borders, they naturally blend in with it's surroundings. Thanks for taking the time to read and answer. Keep being awesome.

[@kokos963741]

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!! Best drawning on the world.

[@ARIGATOUIKKEIKE]

He made it himself because that's just how awesome Mark Crilley is.

[@jotarish2]

[@tomasm1255]

Can you do one explaining about the head positioning like how to make the head tilted to the left or right etc. b/c thats what i have trouble with most and eyes like figuring out what kind of eyes i want to use.

[@simplyem4494]

[@yuliofri]

[@ExRedRain]

oh god, as soon as i clicked this video and heard his voice i knew that i would learn something by the end of it. *7 minutes and 20 seconds later* :O I LEARNT SOMETHING! *subscribes*

[@Aratlikecreature]

This is a late thank you, a few years ago an 9 year old girl who barely knew how to draw a straight line sat down with a notebook and a sparkly pencil sat down at her desk and watched a video on how to draw anime/manga eyes, from that moment one that girl learned other techniques and became a creative person, all because one video inspired her to create beyond the boundries of Crayola rainbows and construction paper projects. I can't thank you enough Mark for how much you have inspired me and guided my journey from the starting of drawing anime girls over and over to working on drawings with life. You have my thanks and I will never forget the one guy who took the time to teach me and millions of others.

[@kurorozu6728]

I'm always starting with the eyelash and based on that i draw the Iris... but this way works pretty good, too. you're awesome!

[@ihavenonameonlyrage8313]

[@PaulorsWagner]

Hi, your drawings are AWESOME! You draw really well. Thank you for sharing your knowledges with us. But can you say what stuffs do you use to draw please (pencils, pens, brushes)? Many thanks.

[@Sapalas100]

I just wanted to ask, what pencil fits the best for shading, for lines, and that kind of stuff You know, I really apreciate if You will response, I'm using B6 so far. And one more thing. PLEASE DON'T STOP DRAWING!

[@almasbalabaev5011]

Hi,Mark!!!Your drawings are AMAZING=))and I have one question.What kind of pensil are you use ?

[@dbridgecfc9494]

beautiful art work mark just beautiful

[@CVMultiKill]

Did you use charcoal pencil? Or is it some type I don't know of

[@marshingo]

He uses a black Prismacolor.

[@Bwissrly1159]

Okay first of all... subscribed. Secondly, what kind of pencil do you use? I have a regular Staedtler pencil and it's good for rough outlines, but I really can't get much shading or texture etc from it. Any suggestions? And fantastic vid! thanks so much!
