    At first I was like: Oh! I might become an artist, I'm not bad at this!"
    Then I was like: Oh wait, people have hands...

    I absolutely adore this character! I'd love to see more drawing of iconic characters with your own artistic twist. Even if they are full time-lapse drawings.

    "I'm guessing the narrated version takes long to edit, so it always comes out second."
    --100% correct. :)

    "I know I'm just "another fan" but I'm so grateful"
    --You're not just another fan to me; it means a lot to me that you took the time to share your thoughts. I'm dying to know how you used the explosion tutorial to make a present for your dad, though! ^_^ ~Mark

    My lil sister said to comment that at 1:39 it looks like a fish is swallowing a person.. yeah, she's a little odd...
    Anyway, thanks for the drawing tutorials Mark, they've helped me a lot with my artistic abilities=)

    Thank you. This was amazing to follow. It was my first time drawing a full face, hands and torso. Even though you didn't teach that part the timelaps enabled me to get a handle on it.
    Thank you again.
    Will be looking into your other videos on how to draw faces, hands, and other anatomy.

  • @BranFlaixx
    @BranFlaixx 11 лет назад +27

    Wow, stunning!!
    Hey, Mark, I think you should do a video giving tips on inking. You make it look so easy and pull it off flawlessly in this video, but I know from experience how frustrating it can be to get inked illustrations to look just right.

    "Do you do live commentary or after your done recording talk to us?"
    --All the commentary you hear is done live while I am drawing the image you see in the video. None of it is ever recorded later. ~Mark

    mark I love your videos and I recently used your technique of mixing up media as you say for my first project at art school. I am so grateful to you because my tutor really liked it and so did my classmates, especially because everything was hand done whereas most people used photoshop or illustrator. Thank you so much mark and please please please put up all your music you have created as a playlist!

    @nikkicherruault8047 11 лет назад

    I just could NOT draw scales on anything and I would never be able to figure how to do it. This helped me SO much with creating the scales and the small details that go with it. I will definitely use this as a reference. Thanks Mark!! :D

    Your tutorials are awesome, but that's just because you're an AWESOME artist! My skills and techniques have grandly improved. I think more disney-based videos would be very awesome. You, Mr. Crilley, are a generous and talented man, to share your techniques and tips with us. we all really appreciate it, so keep up the awesome work! c:

  • @coralolszewski2844
    @coralolszewski2844 11 лет назад

    I think the way you time lapsed the fish tale was perfect because I could still see the way it took shape. Time lapses are good for that reason

    You know what- I discovered Mark a looong time ago back when comcast was still affordable. Found him on OnDemand. I have to say I still love Mark. My artistic abilities have become much better not necessary because of his tutorials but because he gives me hope. I guess I figure hey if mark is still around then I might have a good time slot in here too. I hope to someday showcase my work! Thank you Mark(although you mot likely wont read this.) You are one of the reasons that I am going to pursue art in college this year!

  • @BelovedandLoveless
    @BelovedandLoveless 11 лет назад

    I'm so thrilled you did a Mermaid video, I love drawing them.
    I guess I was hoping for more of a focus on the tail... Things like, how long to make it before it's just... too long and just how curvy it can be before it's too much. I guess I was thinking more guideline oriented. Perhaps next time? :)

    'crilley-cues'. Totally going to call them that now XD
    This was really useful, because the scale thing can be applied to lizard-type creatures too, and I'd been looking for help on that for ages! Also, I love how much you think we hate time lapse.

  • @stdragongrl
    @stdragongrl 11 лет назад

    You can usually get them at an art supply store. I know I got mine at a Michaels, but I don't know if you're from a different country or not. You can also order them online, but you probably can't get a black Prismacolor on its own.

She's really into mermaids right now so I'm going to embroider an underwater scene with a mermaid. However, I have to draw the picture before I can stitch it and I've never tried to draw a mermaid before, your video was so helpful. Thank you very much.
