I've been watching your videos for around 7 years now, i love your work, and books, well, hundreds of videos later, i can say that i'll never get tired of listening that greeting of yours, it's a warm and soothing feeling, like drinking hot chocolate

[@markcrilley]

Thank you Gabriel, I appreciate your many years of support!

[@TheRealSpaghettiOhs]

markcrilley I'll be back to watch another one,, real soon :D

[@wayne5856]

markcrilley ilove Johannes

[@kemphoss-4791]

Crilley you forgot to add the blushies!!! the blushular region looks awfully plane!

[@markcrilley]

"The blushular region"-- I love it ^_^

[@thischannelisdead5303]

I think it looks more helicopter...

[@slimeydeity1301]

markcrilley how do your drawings come out so clean and perfect?

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

Freckles look cuter!

[@nemo9540]

dear mark, I just want to say thank you for your kindness. I really appreciate your taking the time to make these incredible videos and sharing the knowledge you have acquired over the years. I have learned so much from you and i look forward to your future tutorials. Again thank you Mark.

[@markcrilley]

Thank you Alan!

[@mrskittykatkins]

I don't always watch your videos like I used to because I feel as if I have passed the anime/manga style art and have moved onto painting but I love coming back every now and then. There is nothing like hearing the same cheery greeting at the start and the calm voice that gives great drawing tips. I have bought a few books (or borrowed from a library if I cant find a copy) and have been watching for years so it's always nice to see a video :) x

[@rollinsthomas4934]

I try my best with all my strenght, and I keep saying done give up and since I saw this video and drew that drawing almost as good as mark, I have now know to keep trying. Thank You Markcrilley

[@paigea.m3297]

Hey Mark! I was working on one of my (failed) Original characters, and was looking through my Manga drawing book, when I noticed a name that looked VERY familiar..! I had seen the name somewhere before and decided to check the back of the book for the "Authors Notes" and it said near the bottom, "I wouldn't be able to have written this book if it wasn't for my KZbin subscribers..!" That's when it clicked!! This book, it is YOUR book! Your "Mastering Manga" Book! My BFF bought this book for me for my birthday, and I have been using it for many different pictures and it has helped a load! I just wanted to thank you for writing that book because it has helped me, VERY much!! I hope you have a great day, and continue your amazing work to help me learn how to draw better! Thanks..!

[@markcrilley]

Thank you so much ^_^

[@paigea.m3297]

markcrilley No, Thank you..! You don't know how much you've helped me learn..! :D

[@redalert697]

I think i could draw face from below, but thanks to your video and "indication" lines i think now it become much more easier, thank you from the bottom of heart!

[@jacquelinebarry17]

I enjoyed this video. I just received 2 books of yours. Realism and Manga 3 and I will be going through one at least tonight. Thanks for your great contribution to the art world. Its also great that I can receive art orders in the Caribbean. The only thing is its costly but worth every cent.

[@markcrilley]

Thank you so much, Jacqueline-- hope you enjoy the books!

[@rollinsthomas4934]

Jacqueline Barry

[@npcrookeface]

I definitely admire you in your skill and versatility. You have both helped and motivated a young artist like me, along with many others.

[@Cherry-qm9vv]

I found this to be very useful, this is the angle I have the most trouble with, and this trick could really help.

[@Rogues1138]

Thanks Mark. I've been drawing on and off for years... drawing everyday and challenging yourself is the key to success. thanks again for your videos...

[@azuregriffin1116]

I had to pic music over art for GCSE and quite frankly I picked right. I can't learn music from as good a teacher as this brilliant guy.

[@coconutcolibri3757]

well you got me back into my hobby of drawing , huge motivation to start drawing and with these videos i can make my drawings actually look good.

[@mahmoudelzayat7111]

mark crilley I love your art so much me and my brother learned so much from you thank you!!!

[@nomadicgamer9466]

This character you did is just so beautiful! Love the advice on such a hard perspective to draw.

[@markcrilley]

Thank you!

[@kylerweisgarber5436]

Thanks again Crilley. I wish I could show you just how much you've helped me with my art over the years. And hey just Got Brody's Ghost I can't wait to get into it!

[@markcrilley]

Thank you Kyler!

[@jesseanderson29]

Thank you SO much for posting this! I'm a 3D animation student with minimal drawing skills and an assignment to do 100 drawings by the end of the semester and your clear and step-by-step videos are helping me go from being an incredibly terrible draftsman to being only a moderately terrible draftsman. :3

[@roseannshetler9149]

You are such an inspiration! I think I've watched every single one of your videos, and I never cease to be amazed! Never Stop!😄

[@markcrilley]

Thank you RoseAnn!

[@elisabethglaeser9766]

I just finished following this tutorial and I think it turned out pretty good. Thanks Mr. Mark!!! I always find your tutorials fun and followable.

[@shaunatramutolo2983]

I just bought your first Drawing Manga book and I can't wait for it to be delivered. This was an amazing demonstration. I am brand new to drawing and I hope I can learn to do it well. I have subscribed to your channel and will be looking to you for tons of guidance. Thank you for doing these for us!

[@markcrilley]

Thank you so much, Shauna!

[@GRex7777]

No idea if you'll have time to see this, but I'm happy to announce that I FINALLY found a decent job that's gonna start soon, and my first paycheck is going to amazon to order the rest of Brody's Ghost and the Mastering Manga books :) Love your content, been following you for years and suggesting you to anyone I know who's just starting.

[@markcrilley]

Thank you so much for your support! Hope you enjoy the books :)

[@elisabethglaeser9766]

Followed this tutorial. Loved it! Thanks Mark!

[@markshellhammer3117]

Love learning from you Mark! There seems to be quite a few characters in your head with you, and I must say I love that even more. :)

[@viridinubes8296]

Just a small note: I like the fact that you say how much time it takes you. I makes me realise that drawings needs time. That is something I have struggled with, since you see so much good art made whit speed up fotage. So just saying that something takes more time than it looks, I appriciate that.

[@karabii]

crilley, ive waited years for this video, do you know how much suffering i went through to do this worms eye view??? now, i can finally be an art master with this video.

[@jamiebenson6079]

I swear I could be late to my own funeral.Yet never late to a mark crilley video

[@TheRealArtDoctor]

Cool just what i needed, can you do Eagle view ?

[@markcrilley]

Here's bird's eye view: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bonRZ4yoftF5bZY

[@thatchristianboy5517]

Mark, how do you make detailed clothes...? :I

[@Coffeesharkle]

Matthew Rose yeah mark pls do a clothes folding video pls :)

[@jorexcalamba410]

Can you do human view :)

[@vigilantspirityt]

I love your videos so much. watching your videos gets me inspired and want to draw more. thanks for your support in videos

[@helenatomicevic2644]

I whant to draw like you when i grow up.You are my idol.You are best.

[@bhawyasrivastava7027]

o yay!! u drew so well n just by watching this narrated version, i was able to draw the exact same drawing as you drew. i like all yours how to draw videos. thanks...

[@markcrilley]

Thank you :)

[@caelephaisking3842]

hey, i just wanted to thank you. i want to become a mangaka, and, since i can't go to an actual academy yet, i'm right now working on "training drawings" to get better so... Thank You for being the best teacher i could ever find!

[@ibrahimmoustafa9506]

Luca Alessandrini dude same

[@caelephaisking3842]

Ibrahim Moustafa well then, i wish you luck!

[@ibrahimmoustafa9506]

Luca Alessandrini thanks man 😄

[@kyuuketsukikun420]

I started drawing anime stuff about 7 days ago with utter garbage but after watching several of your videos mainly facial structure/ features i am able to produce your average DeviantArt type stuff

[@guneetbal6829]

This is so helpful! I really hope you continue with these videos

[@illumenos]

In my experience the part right below the eyebrows doesn't get much shadow usually, so leaving a bright line between the shadow of the eye and the eyebrows themselves works really well.

[@beesilva9085]

Amazing tutorial! Inspires me to draw again

[@heathersmith9070]

Mark you should do a video we're you show your art portfolio

[@Atomsk7991]

My new math rock band name "Trapezoidial"

[@SantaWessels]

Thank you Mark ... really enjoyed your teaching. :-)

[@techh9171]

this video helped me thank you very much I've improved my drawing seeing your videos

[@Lola-gb3vj]

life saver crilley. you are life saver to our drawing hands x}

[@ronnieray2455]

Hi MARK, I love your videos. You're a great talent!!! and a great teacher. Ive improved my drawing 100% from your instructive videos. And you literally make me laugh out loud!!! LOL Thank you!!

[@thoutkooper]

This is the "food wishes" of drawing. I love it. (find it on youtube if want to learn to cook)

[@azimovist]

And of course,for those of us who have no regard for elegance,the solidly embellished shnoz is an ecstasy!

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

This is a tough one. Thank you. I am going to redraw it according to your instruction, but aimed in the other direction and a child's face.

[@eltacemiraslanov1782]

thanks markcrilley! i love you!

[@Justinsgamez]

The problem is worms don't have eyes

[@chiquewunder]

Justinsgamez 😑oh yeahhhhh

[@muppetmaster04]

Justinsgamez are you familiar with earthworm Jim? ;)

[@vladimir4614]

i heard about worms species that have eyes, they also have rocket launchers and a lot of other stuff...

[@Justinsgamez]

no actually im not

[@solarxo5798]

exposed lmao

[@AmanaHB]

very helpful, this specific view is very challenging , thx for making it easier ! ♡

[@savimonet4640]

Hey mark I've been watching you since I was 12 yrs old. You inspired me soooo flipping much as an artist. Although I'm still learning would you show us how to draw every hair type. (Thickness A-C and curl/straightness 1-4) there's a bunch of video on KZbin to show you the difference

[@jcepri]

Good job drawing the snoutal region.

[@brendaevangelista7783]

This is GREAT, Sir!! She's so beautiful! I do have a question though....how do you create a background around the character and make it blend well? My problem is that the hair never looks right against the background I create....especially when doing watercolors. if like to know how to make it look like a cohesive image.

[@kjersti_lynn]

When he started drawing the hair.. I couldn't see the drawing as anybody but Nancy Drew (like the mystery book series character) But really, this is a very helpful video. 💕

[@sarahlongshore2605]

This is a beautiful piece! !!!! I have always had trouble with this view. if mine ever looks decent it's always a mistake.

[@memoali3362]

wow .. you are amazing artist.. l love your videos..

[@HansRickheit]

Great video. Beautiful drawing. I'd be interested in seeing how you'd draw a more extreme worm's eye view.

[@markcrilley]

Next time :)

[@MANNY100123]

you need to do more perspective stuff, Crilley! It's my favorite! :D

[@gil5695]

great video as always mark! :)

[@dianamaria2538]

I hope I will one day be able to do drawing without always looking at something like a video, like you!

[@malachicushion3059]

Nice I've been wondering when you would do this. May you pls make a 'how to draw space eye view' video. I also just started reading your akiko series and I'm hooked. 😃

[@akimaz_5195]

mark thx for inspire me , i always wait for your new vid :)

[@mightybellarts]

I have a rather cartoony style right now, even though I'm trying to turn it more realistic. I like to color things with more of a structure, so it would help to make it more realistic.

[@CrimsonFlagg]

those lines under the nose and the dip is called the philtrum. just so you know

[@susie7301]

*sighs in admiration*

[@NytheCreates]

Hey Mark I really enjoy your water colour videos. I was wondering if you could do one of your real time video challenges again and while you do it maybe go through your colour selection?

[@ErnsCadeus]

love it ,it help a lot

[@marijnkieboom3506]

drinking game: take a shot when mark says: refocus the camera

[@dominiqueritchey6795]

Amazing video. Thank you.

[@frankreiserm.s.8039]

I'm going to draw her in a larger square, facing in the other direction, with a little girl's eyes, thinner lips, red hair in a ponytail, and with lots of freckles. This will make it more challenging for me and will make me learn manga better.

[@destinyzcreationz8951]

Could you do an in depth video on drawing a realistic face. Focusing on shading? Maybe include your photo reference. Like choose one specific person ?

[@warlordera5409]

Sounds like a great suggestion! I would like to see that too. :)

[@whereistumble]

just brilliant

[@sitlos.]

Very nice, old school crilley. Great video sir. Learned a lot. Thanks again and hopefully we will see more real soon. 😂.

[@Artistmodro]

What I always wondered, do you read off from a script? because your commentary is on point ^^ I guess its just practice.

[@markcrilley]

Thank you! No there's no script, it's all made up on the fly. :)

[@MisterTgarage]

WOW MARK 50 LIKES 0 DISLIKES MARK=LEGENDARY CONGRATULATIONS

[@vigilantspirityt]

You should draw a picture of fan art with white colored pencil on black paper. the fan art should be a marvel character but you can do what you think you can do.

[@SteffenVadla]

Awesome!

[@weyoume0]

If you would like to and if you have time to, would you do a ; How to do a drawing in fisheye perspective (or 5-point perspective)? Cheers

[@m.abdulahad7953]

man!!! it was magic, happening during time lapse😎

[@thirteenfury]

Unless you've already covered it and I missed the relevant video, could you please do a tutorial on how to draw different hair textures? Straight, wavy, curly, frizzy, kinky, spiky, buzzcut, etc. Personally I struggle with doing anything outside of generic "makeup commercial" wavy hair.

[@huskytzu7709]

I always have difficulties with this view but somehow I always end up drawing more in this view and end up enjoying it 😂

[@huskytzu7709]

That godlike shading tho T-T

[@miracleman-4495]

thx for this i cant draw realistic so all i do is challenge myself into making this a realistic anime drawing and colouring it once again thx u rock

[@tjbisse1994]

no blushies!?! what are these shenanigans!!

[@ishanmadhav2471]

Went from place to place, Only to return back at your Sir Really Appreciate your help have a good day! :)

[@jaclyncohen2147]

I think Crilley and Jazza are long lost relatives😂

[@jaz2584]

Mark I was on this app called musical.ly and we were talking about art KZbinrs and everyone said you baylee and jazza first!! As their top 3!!

[@Awood2207]

markcrilley, Such a great job on your drawings...you are definitely a great inspiration of mine. Where are the best ways to request some tutorials since I have a couple I'd like to request. The first request is a how-to-draw anime character (any character) but I would like to see you do one in full color with Prismacolors (since I'm having some trouble in properly utilizing the rich color layers of skin, clothing, and hair). The second request is a how-to-draw Noctis from Final Fantasy 15 video game (colored or black&gray).

[@elisabethglaeser9766]

Aah! So hard! I really like this tutorial though.

[@yourmom9931]

Good timing.Can you show a sideways birds eye view please

[@dollrescuerchannnel600]

mr. crilley sir, can i ask question? how did you published your comic books? is there a requirements before your comics published?

[@markcrilley]

This vid explains how I got published: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-Ucpt7bK9jpZo

[@dollrescuerchannnel600]

Thank your sir, by the way... i like all your videos and all your work. its really inspiring for me as a beginner in comic artist-ing.

[@dollrescuerchannnel600]

I hope sometimes you post a videos on how you draw ur drawings RATHER THAN on how to draw a drawings Did you draw sometimes without measurements and patterns? because i do draw my arts especially my comics without any patterns. Because thats what im comfortable with. Am I Wrong?

[@lovelypeter1515]

Gary Arsenia i am not crilley but you are not wrong there is no particulair way of making art just do what you like and works for you :)

[@Artimisia]

THank you so much ... ur my teacher .

[@cristinab2477]

Mark Crilley, I have a confessions to make... When I see eraser crumbs on your paper, and I have the video paused... I blow on the screen thinking the crumbs will go away. I forget that it is not actual paper in front of me. I did this for the first time when introducing my younger cousin ( who is starting to take drawing more seriously) to one of your videos ( and the channel as a whole), and I paused it to explain something to her, and she didn't know why I started laughing so hard. She didn't see me try to blow the crumbs off the screen, and immediately face-palm afterwards. It was painfully and stupidly hilarious! #ArtistHabits

[@butterknifebandit5560]

Great job! Have a nice day!

[@PausePauseDevilFruitUser]

man this its super helpful.

[@Merisu_Sheep]

So lovely

[@jenn1726]

Amazing!!

[@jessicafoster1196]

Love it. You're awesome! :)

[@cheeseburgerofdeath]

Man I miss this page

[@pure-_-luck_2721]

love it crilly

[@TenguBird]

Hate to criticise the work of the amazing Crilley here but the end result is a bit off. The proportions of the head don't necessarily squish like that and the left eye is too far from the nose.

[@mrfrost745]

I don't know if markcrilley would read this so i would like his audience's opinions as well. I have always avoided guidance when it comes to drawing because i want to be original. Because by being original i could understand how 'I'' draw. This helped me experiment different art styles and sought to understand more about the ''foundations'' of drawing. So my question is, is this a healthy practice for an artist,or is this a habit i should get rid of?

[@ΜαγδαΜιχ]

could you do a how to draw a fox? your drawings are amazing and you have helped me a lot

[@Chronuz]

Bird's eye view is equally as hard to draw as well in my opinion.
