Shading a Face That's Lit From Below

[@fluentinoppai6271]

Crazy mark is still making videos. I was big into them a few years ago but hadn't really watched in sometime so I checked the channel out and here we are. It takes some impressive dedication to keep the creativity going through so many years and videos.

[@chubbycatfish4573]

This is campfire story teller lighting.

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

true i agree

[@onbrandnewt]

I remember watching your videos when I was 9-10 years old trying to get better at art and now I’m in an AP art class in high school, I’ve managed to come so far in art and I owe my start to you :)

[@mr.skeemz4530]

i started watching Mark in 2013. He is absolutely the best teacher when it comes to teaching all aspects of a subject. He's like a college professor I swear.

[@stevenpowerssmp]

This is why I buy your books...your love for art and sharing with the world. Thank you Mark.

[@lulgrim]

I've just come back to say thank you for making me start drawing Mark. Thank you.

[@Millicomics]

I am literally drawing a panel about this same topic ! You read minds Mark ! Have a great weekend !

[@tahmidahmed3332]

Just wanna let you know that you've taught me well. From watching you In 2009 to now selling art through commissioning proves these videos help a lot.

[@Paper_Smith]

Wow! That’s a great way to make someone look intimidating!! Thanks for the tutorial! 💚

[@AnnaHans88]

It does! Now I'm thinking about the psychology behind it. Why does lighting like this give off such a creepy vibe?

[@_den_5348]

Oh my god I was trying to find his videos cuz I remembered how much I liked them and I was pleasantly suprised he still makes videos😭😭😭👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Freaking mad respect for Mark, always been an inspiration to me and everyone. Even after years I still remember this guy. You're amazing Mark, words can never compare.

[@Mikejguevarra]

Just wanted to drop in and say I subscribed probably 10 years ago as a kid and loved watching your videos - I still remember going to the store and picking up stationary to draw chibi characters from your videos! Thanks for providing good Bob Ross vibes on the internet Mark :)

[@minlolanda]

It's incredible how I watch you since I was a child and I still don't know anything

[@cckongg]

Hahaha defienetly same!

[@Shmaples]

His incredible teaching goes in one ear (and eyeball) then out the other. There's nothing to be done. 🤷‍♀️

[@dementiaravenway]

Your videos are what inspired me to continue doing art when I was like 10 years old. It's very relaxing but also informative.

[@mali_aac]

Its been a while since I watched this. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this guy is the cause of how im so much better at drawing now. Nothing but MAD respect for this guy

[@RealSupaHotFireVEVO]

I first watched your videos in late 2007 or early 2008, where I used to be 9 or 10 years old. Thank you for your hard work. Although I don't watch as much as I used to, you're still an inspiration.

[@priyankagrover5880]

Always waiting for mark the legend

[@JosueMartinez-ww1vj]

Amazing!, looks like she just opened a chest full of shiny diamonds!!

[@ticonofruger573]

*Insert Minecraft reference here*

[@Phloggers]

@@ticonofruger573 don't mess with us minecraft fans we think notch invented diamonds

[@pedrobarnez5502]

Yeah!...thanq for you for your imagination!

[@ticonofruger573]

@@Phloggers What do you mean by "don't mess with us"? I am one lol, I just can't think of a good reference XD.

[@prajalrai2474]

Man, thank you mark! I’ve watched your videos growing up and it’s brings so much nostalgia whenever I come across your videos. Thank you so much for everything

[@sociallyineptspider-man2366]

Started watching you when I was 12, now I'm 17 and almost finished making my own manga, you've been the best art mentor I could ask for

[@StanMan14]

I never thought about doing this. Really helpful.

[@MarliesDraws]

Thanks for the amazing tutorial again! I love listening to your voice but your tutorials are also very helpful so they're both relaxing and educational 😊😅 Great drawing, the lighting is fantastic! The face actually looks very friendly, usually only villains are lit from below 😂

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

love your shading mark

[@PatrikVorg]

YESSSS I needed this.

[@artofrenga]

Great tutorial Mark! Very well explained

[@RMeitzen]

If you had drawn this in black paper or added a black background it would make the shading pop out even more in my opinion, adding to the spookiness. Regarding doing more of these videos, I'm all for it, the unusual lighting helps me understand the planes of the face better.

[@_den_5348]

I swear one day when I finally make money, imma spend them on Mark. Literally looked up to him when I was younger.

[@ThisJustIn81]

You're such a good artist. Thank you for all your videos. So amazing to watch.

[@joblakh]

I think the ears would be shaded darker, almost completely actually. Most of the time you'd get that lighting by holding a flashlight under somebody's face, certainly most references would be made that way, and that would cause shadows to be cast diagonally the further from the center of the face you go. I think this might also be why the outer edges of the brow are darker and why the sides of the face are almost completely covered in shadow.

[@SuzyNuyos]

This was such a detailed explanation. Very helpful, thank you.

[@LetterheadStudios]

The assymetrical nose is actually quite cute.

[@2jojojojojojo]

Love you Mark!

[@arrowmoons]

LOVE THIS VIDEO MARK!!! 💖💖💖

[@thatguy779]

This woman is telling a REALLY good ghost story by a campfire

[@WhatIFeelLike]

Hi Mark I love your video's and have been watching for 10 years. Just a thought, I would love to see these videos in 4k if that's possible. Regardless I'll be watching it just would be even better in super high quality!

[@ninjje2151]

I was wondering if you have a video on how to draw a person from a birds eye view and one of looking up at a person also these tutorials are very helpful

[@cometmoon]

I think he does.. You need to search his video play lists.

[@albertmalcampo9784]

Great tips, will follow you, from The Philippines, Salamat, Thank You.

[@lachauntiswashington231]

this is beautiful and amazing

[@equesdeventusoccasus]

[@pedrobarnez5502]

I'm a good artist but your drawings make mine look silly...you are really something man

[@samuelArtsoffical]

Nice drawing

[@Zaxnafein]

Mark Crilley always drawing them waifus.

[@shayquattrucci4327]

The wolf tutorial video you did, the answer to your question: tapetum lucidum is the name of the area around a wolfs eyes.

[@INDAREVISH]

you are still alive! Haven’t visited the channel for a while

[@davvworldsart]

You had me at "lit"

[@ericmccullough5856]

I was thinking lit from below during a candlelight service at church singing Christmas carols. Context is what makes it creepy.

[@memoriessomeonewewillnever732]

That was crazy

[@707alice]

omg thks! just what i needed!

[@MusicalRaichu]

thanks that was very helpful faces lit from below don't look creepy to me they look cute

[@zesty2023]

That looks like realistic Krysta from Ferngully.

[@GKOALA7]

Can you please show how to draw male faces/bodies? You tend to draw only females and I would greatly appreciate... I think we all would... learning more about the male anatomy. Thank you.

[@Benvenuto.G]

Oh Hi Mark.

[@HimanArtists]

Awesome

[@1MightyR]

This is awesome. Thanx for the lesson. 😊🔥

[@KEDARTS745]

AMAZING

[@shadroid]

Questions and a comment. Could you would you could you please do a stippling challenge or how-to? The opening of Brody's ghost was obviously sketched from my apartment. How did you get in and why didn't you wake me? REALLY important: could you try and please get yourself cast as a voice actor for some anime? C'mon you know you want to.

[@Stephen-T-Clark]

That chinular region has a name! The mentolabial sulcus!

[@DrewPeacock01]

[@xvgreen8586]

[@Mckindley]

[@holyshaman]

[@sukeban_ex]

Looks like Yulia from T.a.t.u.

[@ygood113]

[@barsabe]

Can you answer this question pls. Did your channel helped you to improve as an artist?

[@sandstretch]

[@DonovanPresents]

How about a face that's lit from above?

[@loschistesdechuck8854]

[@NexenTriz]

[@robertmcdougall1816]

Hey mark, what do you do for a living now? There’s no way these videos are bringing in enough revenue to support anyone. Maybe though.
