I drew this and was so, so pleased with the results that I kept looking at it. Thank you for all your helpful tutorials and tips, they really do help improve being able to draw and understand what you're drawing. What I like the most is that you draw things across a wide spectrum, not just a one trick pony!!! Thank you!

I have drawn these lips, I was fairly happy with my first attempt. I'm just about to try again, right now. I love your art Marc, I like how you just do what feels right. I have seen far too many "precise" tutorials, where you lose the chance to develop an individual style. Thanks for the video...

[@K_610]

I followed this tutorial back when I was 10yrs old, I loved the results that I still look at the drawing now and wonder how I did it. Now, 3 years later, I picked up the drawing and decided to do it again. Even I can say that I improved a lot in my art skills during the past 3 years. So I did it again. Even happier with the results than I was last time. Still not even close to being perfect but I'm hoping over the years and practice in the future I will be able to accomplish being able to draw this properly. This video helped me a lot when I had lost all hope of becoming an artist, i thought i was a failure and that i wouldn't get anywhere in life cus i had no talents and that the one thing i actually loved, I was terrible at. But watching ur video made me realize what te phrase "practice makes perfect" actually means and I dont know how much i can thank u for that. Ur tutorials r rlly something else and I hope u continue to post videos like these cus they truly help people like me to accomplish things they couldn't even imagine of doing so, thank you. I know this may seem dramatic and cheesy and stuff but I mean......... I dont even know I just.... dont know SHUKRAN (thank u in Arabic)

Wow, amazing talent, and your verbal is just as good. Wish i could have seen and heard your videos when i was young. My Dad drew after studying face and tried you teach me. Like you he said pick the darkest and lightest spots because after the basic centering outline that is where the eye will go. I didn't "have it", but wanted it. Never stopped trying. Thank-you so much for sharing your talent Mr. Crilley. I am a fan. God Bless. George B. CT

[@everettwhite9874]

Mark, my friend I can't thank you enough for all the videos you've posted. Your detailed instructions has helped me improve my drawings significantly. I haven't drawn much in several decades, until a few months ago. I had completed about 10-15 drawings which I thought I'd completed until I started watching your videos. After applying your drawing tips for eyes, nose, and lips, etc., I was amazed how much my drawing improved. Thanks Man. Subscribed? Yes Sir, after watching the first video. Keep posting them...

Me too. Even took college art classes (graphic design) then all my work was taken and I was too upset to pick up a pencil. There was a time when I couldn't go 2 days without drawing something, my whole life since I was a kid. I'm a perfectionist and if I wasn't as good as I used to be I couldn't handle it.

[@karissaweber3432]

i tend to use my finger to smooth the shading out. what is your technique on keeping the shading smooth?

[@jacksonohno]

I think they're called um, blending stumps! Yeah, they're really awesome and you get down to the details. You can use facial tissues, and cotton swabs(Qtips)

[@karissaweber3432]

Yeah I've heard of them. Thanks!

[@jacksonohno]

Using your finger is a pretty bad method, actually - it never really gives you the effect you want. You also can't get to the small stuff.

[@karissaweber3432]

Yeah I can understand that

[@SilverSparrow5]

I use a combination of blending stumps and regular paper towels. Works pretty good for me.

Thank you Nettie; I think people fixate on art supplies since it's something you can just go out and buy in a single day, while skills may require many years to acquire.

[@bellesmom2012]

I understand your views on not explaining your tools but I don't agree. (Good thing it's not my video, right?) I feel that it can only benifit people be ause then they can make a more educated choice when purchasing their own tools. As an artist I have a hard time believing that you don't know what number that H Prismacolor graphite pencil is. The people that watch your videos are surely bright enough to know thaat any pencil mark will look different depending on what surface you use & by the amount of pressure you use. It will also look different viewed off video. You are a fantastic artist, don't "dumb it down" for the people who admire your work, also if you read the comments about every fourth one is a request to tell which pencil you are using. If you think that your fans do not understand the breakdown of "art store" pencils make a video explaining them. A student will get a ton more frustrated if they are trying to get the look that you are showing with printer paper & a school pencil. They are so much more likely to give up without this knowledge than with it. Great job on the books and thank you tons for all the help you give all the future artist!!!

[@iikou3925]

you sound like you are writing a documentary about your life getting art pencils! no offense

[@catalinarodasmendizabal9207]

+bellesmom2012 I think the same here,. I was close to asking which number the darker graphite pencil was, but I guess Im gonna find that by myself. ( Im gussing it might be 8B or 9B Grapite Pencil).

+bellesmom2012 Because the tools don't matter, like at all...Any pencil will work, tools dont help you draw well

[@mya6506]

I was just thinking about how artists always draw better because they use professional pencils but then I saw he was using a regular pencil and I got happy because all the tutorials I see they use a expensive pencil I don't have. He proved to me anyone can draw with just an ordinary pencil😌.

+Dayjeunay Alexander-Robinson OMG! You're right lol. I was grumpy & I do get frustrated with tutorials where the artist glosses over that. Anyone that thinks a regular #2 school pencil on printer paper will give the same result as a couple of "art store" pencils on let's say Arches hot press watercolor paper has not tried it for themselves. The right "tools" in any job make for a better result. Try it and I think you will like what you draw a ton better. Sorry to sound like a know it all though, he (this artist) is tons better than I will ever be & he is a great educator as well.

dont give up

[@bearach5163]

I know what you mean... check out my latest stuff @bearach_minter on instagram

[@amayalobato]

Agreed.

[@Emily-ty1nb]

What I hate is when you have the perfect darkness to your shading, then you step away from the drawing, and when you come back to it, your shading is either too dark or too light.

[@kiwifruit6524]

Honestly if you just take a pencil and some scrap paper and practice shading it becomes much easier and over time you can start to draw stuff like the lips in the video but this drawing is actually quite advanced so i wouldn't suggest starting with this. one way of practicing shading is to draw simple shapes and to choose a point where a light is coming from (ex top right, bottom left, anywhere really) and you would shade it so the shape looks like it has a light shining on it. thats how i started shading :D

I dont have the proper pencils with me to follow along completely, but I am going to come back to this video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! This video has inspired me to tap into some realism drawing practices. So excited to watch your other videos!

[@morganmills8520]

I love the video, but i find it a little offensive that you think all girls wear heavy makeup. I can't stand makeup, and most people i know can't either, but besides that i love your video and after some more practice i think it'll help.

[@markcrilley]

+Morgan Mills Sorry if I made it sound that way-- I honestly didn't mean to!

[@morganmills8520]

Hey it's fine, it's not like you knew 😊😊

[@clarabrarurerr2065]

+Morgan Mills lol no offense but there is always something offensive to find in a Video. you just draw Girls with Makeup most of the time, idk why. i´m a Girl myself and i never wear Makeup but i draw my Girls with Makeup anyways. i´m not into sixpacks but i draw my guys with sixpacks anyways. so what. it has nothing to so with real life, ist just a drawing.

[@morganmills8520]

I know I guess it just went to my head. When he started talking about it i guess something just made me go into offensive mode.

[@clarabrarurerr2065]

Morgan Mills thanks for staying cool :) i hoped for this not to escalate :) i can kinda understand it tbh

[@fatimaramzaner]

I tried it and it went really well. Thank youuu :') I love it how your videos are not boring at all, you keep the other person excited and make them laugh. I laughed so hard when you said 'spooky flashlight' You're an amazing artist.

[@markcrilley]

+Fatima Ramzan Thank you Fatima!

[@markcrilley]

+Jasmine Henderson Thank you Jasmine :)

[@JasmineHenderson]

markcrilley You deserve it!! :)

[@TheRealSathorael]

I just wanted to say thank you. I haven't drawn in years and this video inspired me to buy some nice paper and some artist pencils. I am definitely pleased with the outcome. I drew something similar but nowhere near the same and I'm very happy with it. you're truly an immense talent and fascinating instructor. thank you.

[@drew4373]

Your video honestly didn’t grab my attention the first few seconds but you ended up being pretty amusing to listen to..so I stayed till the end. Thanks.

[@1213nanee]

I am a self taught artist, and I find that your illustrations are very helpful! THANK YOU
