Been watching Mark crilleys vids since I was 8 and he Def. Played a big role in me developing my drawing talent and curiosity =) from memories of my brother showing me my first mark crilley video which was how to draw a Manga girl to him responding to my Facebook drawing post where I tagged u made me go nuts as a kid because u were my KZbin idol, which made me want to work even harder. Even if I don't comment alot I'm watching almost every video. Currently 9 years later (still watching his videos) I can finaly just draw what my imagination wants and I can put everything on paper and you played a huge role in that because you sparked that curiosity as a kid and taught me the basics before I could develop my own style, thankyou mark, keep doing what you love!

I have to say, Mark, after these last ten years and following you.. it's been hard- graduation, health issues, job issues, people's negative attitudes and not fully understanding, it really weighs you down. Art has been my escapism. Feeling that all of my 'good' writings and drawings were from back in college and now not being able to reach 'that' again. But now I understand that was another time and place, and this new year and new decade is promised with self-care and healing so I can get my strength back to work and help around the house and get back to sitting in a chair to do my art. It absolutely does take time and we need to have humility to understand and not rush the healing process or the art process as they both coincide with each other. Thank you for this video and it's something I can rewatch when I need a boost. It was much needed you have no idea.. and I know others will benefit, too. Thank you

Mark, you are an absolute inspiration. Envy and imposter syndrome used to be my worst problem. I would get so irritated seeing so many artists with such distinct styles, and I would shy away from feeling good about my work. It was beaten into me that seeing another artists influence in my style was bad and unoriginal. After finding the comic that stuck with me, I decided "I dont care if I'm ready yet. I'm making this NOW" worked on the story & character designs and premiered it online half a year later. I regained my confidence (albiet, having to fake some of it at first), started thinking for myself and just kept going the way I wanted. Still working on that comic currently and despite many pitfalls along the way, I'm feeling happier than I ever have. Got a big stack of comics I look to for inspiration from time to time, and you bet Brody's Ghost and Miki Falls are in there. Thank you Mark, for being you! Keep up the great work.
@jamisenjohansen4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for lifting up the spirits. This, combined with coffee, made me pick up that pen again. As artists, we can see from various perspectives, and we often get trapped in looking through negative perspectives on ourselves. The world does a very good job at being against us, all the time; so logically, it doesn't make much sense for us to be against ourselves too. We need to keep focusing on that PMA: (Positive Mental Attitude). Whenever you draw something you're not quite satisfied with, take a break from it, work on a few other things, then come back to it, and start again on a new piece of paper. Try changing the angle or the expression just a little bit, and then you'll have something you're really proud of. I've also struggled in meeting deadlines, and that's been a major area of stress and depression in my life; so I came up with mini deadlines, as checkpoints on the way to the final deadline. I divided everything down into manageable little predictable segments, and allowed myself room in my schedule for some flexation. Without adding free-time to your schedules, deadlines will just pile up, and you'll be even more stressed during emergencies that throw your schedule out the window. I think it's also important to work on your project every day, unless you really need a vacation from it, even if it's only for a minute. Often the hardest thing to do is just pick up that pen and make a stroke with it. If you get yourself used to picking up that pen every day, eventually you'll find it easier to get into the flow of things. One more tip I learned recently: If you have a complicated background, and a complex foreground, draw them on separate pieces of paper, then combine them. That way your background won't be at a weird angle, because you can't see what's behind your foreground character. And, you can rotate the background or foreground, and even resize it to make the scene you want to show really pop.

I'm talking 20+ miles everyday. So ill share advice from that part of my life for it may help someone. 1. Its not always gonna be fun and easy. But always have a smile on your face and it will make that challenge seem a lot smaller 2. I dont always run in 70* weather with no humidity. I run in the rain. The snow. The cold. The heat. The running trains the body. The weather trains the mind. So continue to push yourself past your limits and into the areas youve never gone 3. This one is from my art days in highschool. Pay attention to ALL criticism. Even the a-holes who are mean. My art capabilities seemed to broaden when I took the taunts and jokes to heart then drew purely from my emotions and made growth with my skill

That "make that thing" advice is so true. Because that "thing" you want to make changes throughout your life. I actually held off on creating this one story because I wanted to reach a certain skill level first. The time rolled around years later, but I had totally lost connection with that original "thing" because I was in a completely different place in life. By then, there was another "thing" I wanted to make. Make that thing now, because that's where you are right now.

You are inspirational in many ways but this video sheds a different light on the artist’s process. Your quotes and thoughts are very timely. I can honestly say I have gone through all of the experiences associated with your quotes. Your advice and thoughts are comforting and every artist can benefit from listening to this video.....well I might say all your videos offer insights. I agree that being transparent is difficult specially when you are having hard times. Wish you great success always!

I've been making a video game, and the only way I'm gonna get this thing out there is to accept its imperfections. Otherwise I'm gonna be polishing this thing for the rest of my life.

Thank you very much for doing this video ...... For years I have been sitting on the side line's and doing nothing , no more .. I did a video called why I show my bad art go watch it may help you..... I am a very lazy lazy artist it's time do some thing about it. No one really watchs my videos and my Instagram page no really looks at my art but, at first I was mad because, no one likes my art work, but not anymore I am okay if you don't like or watch my videos,but goal for 2020 is finish art school and better artist... Thanks for caring about us lazy lazy artist..

I haven’t really tuned in here this year, but I’ve been a long time watcher. This video really popped in my feed at the right time. It’s good to relax again with good advice and the sound of that paper. Keep doing what you’re doing, you make KZbin a nicer place to be!

Thank you for this video and for your kind words of encouragement :) I graduated from college last year 2018 and have yet to get a job in the art field.... I was so burnt out after college that I had grown to hate creating & it had become a serious anxiety trigger for me. I'm trying to find the joy/pleasure in creating again, b/c I am not fulfilled in my current non art field job. I want to make it happen, but it's been hard to get back into the habit of creating again when I'm often so hard on myself. Trying to start practicing again and just letting myself be at whatever level I am at in that moment.

I really needed this. When winter break came around I was so excited to have time to do art but instead I didn’t feel motivated. this video gave me an uplifting and I definitely want to create something right now.

WHAT A GIFT . . . you've bestowed upon those who've been blessed enough to find you and this wonderful video of yours, Mark Crillery! The timing was perfect as I was considering WHAT to say to my FB group peep artists in regards to saying good-bye to 2019 and hello to their 2020 Vision for next year. Wellah! The ARTIST'S PEP TALK. I only found you yesterday and am so grateful I did. Your video link to this wonderful talk was shared, some have already watched and commented back to me their appreciation. Way-to-GO and inspire us all, Mark. Wishing you and yours a most wonderful and prosperous and FULFILLING HAPPY NEW YEAR. =)

Thank you so much for this Mark! I’ve truly struggled with my art these past two years, so this video truly has been helpful.

I have 3 artists who inspire me and I will paint something in their style to try and figure out what they are doing. But then I'm afraid they will feel I'm in their space. But then one of these artists actually took an idea from me and solved one of her paintings! I felt honored.

I kinda needed this, I made the mistake of not learning art while I still had the time, mostly because I could never finalize whether I wanted to do art as a career or not. When I did, I was unfortunately already in my senior year in high school so I knew basically nothing. Somehow I made it to art college but just the pressure of not being developed or not knowing anything compared to my classmates who HAVE been drawing for 10+ years or so gets intimidating or has sometimes pressured me into just quitting all together. I guess just the fear of unemployment or not knowing what to do after college because I dont feel good enough is whats really getting me. So thanks for the pep talking Mark :)
