Thanks so much for doing all these videos, Evan, and for going to the incredible effort of flying all the way to Michigan to make this happen. I can see you put many hours into the editing process, doing everything you could to make these videos as entertaining as possible. It was lots of fun hanging around with you, & here's hoping our paths cross again soon! ~Mark
Mark is someone where if someone asked me, "Who is your hero/inspiration/role model? I'd say Mark. He's amazing and he showed me what I wanted to do when I grew up. Thank you Mark.
when he started talking, i was like "oh my gosh! its him! thats that voice was that i listen to for hours a day drawing! this is the man who helps me draw for hours. holy crap its actually him. this is sadly a huge deal to me."
I wait only for those realistic turtorials, Mark. When I follow your tutorials step by step for the realistic drawings, I end up with a realistic drawing even though I am a beginner at the age of 61. I think you should create a separate channel just for realistic things. Thank you so much.
It's kind of weird that I owe my drawing abilities to Mark Crilley. One day after watching one of his tutorials I decided to draw along with him. When I finished I was so proud ( even though now I think it's kind of bad ). I used to think that I couldn't even draw a stick figure right, but it turns out all I needed was a boost now I'm working on making my first manga comic! Thank you Mark.
the moment when mark says... "when people say you good..But you wanted somebody to say..hey,you can do it better,let me show you how" that kinda true tho...~
It's nice to finally put the voice to the face. I was having a hard time watching this because I'm so used to listening to his voice only and watch him draw. I would have to look away at something on my desk a couple of times because I can't believe I am actually watching Mark Crilley speak to make sure it really him, I would have to look away and think " oh it is really him" lol weird but this is the first time I see what you look like Mark. Lol.
Love this interview. Mark crilley is amazing, but the Interviewer is also very good at what he does. I like how he doesn't constantly try to talk over the interviewee but manages to ask the questions and be involved actively. Very well made video, and a big fan of Crilleys. Double Thumbs up!
man this was a fantastic interview. i now know how Mark's life of drawing started because, every time i watch his videos i find them hard so i now know that u have to have almost 7 years of practice or more. Thanx for this interview cartoon block. It really inspired me a lot.:D
Im going to become the video game producer version of u Mark Crilley your an inspiration towards us teens who can see themselves creating amazing video games and im going to give you a special thanks too you for just being awesome
Hi! I totally agree with the way of thinking '1st do something on your own without being paid realizing your dreams'... I think that's an excellent advise! Have a good one!
I can confirm that putting your video's on youtube is an amazing success. I'm from Belgium (Europe) and even I bought your book 'mastering manga'. Well done!
An artist that influences me on a daily basis is Takeshi Takeuchi. He works at Type-Moon, the same company that made Fate/stay night and Kara no Kyoukai. I really enjoy his work and his style really influenced mine.
Dayummmm, Crilley's with Dark Horse! I didn't even realize after half a year of watching... I gotta get to the comic store more often. Keep up the good work Mark.
Mark Crilley is my inspiration. I dont intend on doing anything with drawing. But I have always loved to draw since I was a kid and he has inspired me to get better and improve for myself.
Never was into drawing, wasn't my thing, around 25 something sparked in me while in work, little by little Mark has initiated my love for art, he is a true master and I thank him for any progress i get into this new found passion, so Thanks Mark, Like this video !
i read akiko on planet smoo when i was a kid.... i never knew the author at the time, but i am amazed that i was connected to mark crilley before i even knew who he was or his art work of today, that is amazing, my mind is completely blown away.
Wow! I remember reading that Aikiko book in elementary-middle school at least 4 times.. Never even knew it was a Mark Crilley piece. Brings back memories lol
its awesome how manga and anime can connect many kinds of people from many cultures, country's etc. And have a common interest in anime and manga that we all can share and enjoy talking about and make new friends around the world.
My influences are my mom who is an artist, Mark, and all of the shows, books, and comics I read! And really something that drives me is knowing that one day I'm going to look down and there will be a finished manga series that says "by Jaina" on it!
I wish I could ask this guy how to get a show out there, my dream is to get my characters to be seen by the world, I have so many questions sadly he will never see my work
Mr. Crilley is exceptionally cool because of his art style... I had had his videos as reference...nowadays as you asked who is my influence I'm gonna take the name of Mr. Kim Jung Gi, a Korea based illustrator, I'm mostly obsessed by, because his extraordinary technique to draw the artworks without initial rough lines..just wow..I know this takes a lot of hard work to be at home in..and more necessarily passion..I'll be doing my best. Thank you ;)
I was influenced by my art teachers and friends. First I saw my friends draw then my art techer gave us tips to improve our drawings so I got better. Now I started looking into how to draw and I came across mark crilley and thought that his art work was amazing and I tried doing it and started drawing more and more. At school people tell me that im good at drawing and thats because I watch mark crilleys youtube videos
5% PEOPLE CAME TO LEARN ABOUT MARK
95% CAME TO SEE MARK'S FACE
+Wendy Sky Marvell yeah, basically..I thought he was just hands.. no body.. (metaphorically speaking)
same
+Wendy Sky Marvell Hahaha my thoughts exactly
I'm one of the 95%
+Sky Dragon me both
Mind Blown... I always thought Mark was just a talking hand... Mother of god this is a lot to handle...
Lol!
you could've just searched him up on google images in the first place.. olol
Made my night
Me too :0
It is very weird to hear that familiar voice coming out of a face. It's like a strange surreal mind warp moment.
Thanks so much for doing all these videos, Evan, and for going to the incredible effort of flying all the way to Michigan to make this happen. I can see you put many hours into the editing process, doing everything you could to make these videos as entertaining as possible. It was lots of fun hanging around with you, & here's hoping our paths cross again soon! ~Mark
Wait Mark Crilley is a person????? I thought he was just a talking hand!!!!!!! XD XD XD
same D:
I thought he was a anime character, like that on his profile picture on RUclips. xD
This is so sudden, I don't know how to react...
Ikr xD xD
i THOUGHT HE WAS A CROISSANT
I've followed him for years and this is the first time I've seen his face omg he's actually really good looking lol
i just searched him on google and they had a picture of him
tokyoterrorart Yeaah but hes a lot older and mature when then when that picture was taken
Mark is someone where if someone asked me, "Who is your hero/inspiration/role model? I'd say Mark. He's amazing and he showed me what I wanted to do when I grew up. Thank you Mark.
Nice half quote
WataKashi that beautiful
Exactly
I follow Mark's style of speaking, i get great attention.
OH MY GOSH HES A PERSON XDD
So weird to actually see him o:
yep he isn't just a hand and voice!
aw, he has such a nice face in terms of his expression, I mean, he looks like a good person :) I adore his videos, his jokes, his accents, everything
when he started talking, i was like
"oh my gosh! its him! thats that voice was that i listen to for hours a day drawing! this is the man who helps me draw for hours. holy crap its actually him. this is sadly a huge deal to me."
so that's what he looks like....
Ya Ikr O_o
You tubers never look what they sound like.!
The Chuckled Gamer wut
I'm a little disappointed that he isn't as pale and nerdy as I imagined
Guys I agree -_-
I'm watching this again after so many years. Mark will always be the person i admire the most.
THATS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT HE LOOKED LIKE
SAME
LOLOL SAME
SAME!
Jian Bin Zhao wtf
Definitely did not expect him to look like that. The voice doesn't fit the face. XD
I agree this is relatable
And I thought he was still at 30 and down
No the voice totally matches the face
I honestly thought he was a fat glasses guy...
I thought he was like 20or25
Omg, he says that "with 375 THOUSAND subscribers" so solemnly.
And here Mark is now, with all his more than 3 000 000 subscribers!
Congrats, Mark!
YYYEEEEAAA I CAN SEE HIS FACE THE MYSTERY IS OVER!
Right lol I thought it was going to be like kakashi
The Wizard That was the perfect thing to reply with!!! Lol
Lol thanks
I know right!?! I was so happy it's unbelievable
I thought he was like... 20 years old xD
I wait only for those realistic turtorials, Mark. When I follow your tutorials step by step for the realistic drawings, I end up with a realistic drawing even though I am a beginner at the age of 61. I think you should create a separate channel just for realistic things. Thank you so much.
I've loved art all my life. I stumbled across Marks videos on RUclips. He's so inspiring! I love him! Thank you Mark!
This whole time and I've only ever known what his hands look like!!!
me 2 and hearing his voice 😃
And his eyes (he did a self portrait video)
Oh look, the talking hand grew a body :D
lmaooo
haha
Talking Hand evolved into Mark Crilley!
XD
Haha
Crilley is so talented and extremely intelligent.

Handsome isn't he? ^o^

It's kind of weird that I owe my drawing abilities to Mark Crilley. One day after watching one of his tutorials I decided to draw along with him. When I finished I was so proud ( even though now I think it's kind of bad ). I used to think that I couldn't even draw a stick figure right, but it turns out all I needed was a boost now I'm working on making my first manga comic! Thank you Mark.
the moment when mark says...
"when people say you good..But you wanted somebody to say..hey,you can do it better,let me show you how"
that kinda true tho...~
Im not used to seeing Mark Crilley with a body so the entire video i was either watching his hands or listening to his disembodied voice. lol!
haha
I CAN DIE NOW, THAT I SAW HIS FACE
oh wait there is still Kakashi.

I would have to look away at something on my desk a couple of times because I can't believe I am actually watching Mark Crilley speak to make sure it really him, I would have to look away and think " oh it is really him" lol weird but this is the first time I see what you look like Mark. Lol.
Now he has over 2 mil subscribers. I love his videos cuz I have been getting into drawing lately
Is it bad that this is the first time I have ever seen his face after a year of watching his video?
Dudette
mimisway202 nope....
my art inspiration is Mark Crilly
That's so weird.
For some reason I imagined him in 20s - early 30s.
Love his voice.
Love this interview. Mark crilley is amazing, but the Interviewer is also very good at what he does. I like how he doesn't constantly try to talk over the interviewee but manages to ask the questions and be involved actively. Very well made video, and a big fan of Crilleys.

Mark's such a cool guy
I'm just gonna be honest, he's pretty good looking. I enjoyed seeing more than just his arm
Mark looks different than I expected!

Hi!
I totally agree with the way of thinking '1st do something on your own without being paid realizing your dreams'... I think that's an excellent advise!
Have a good one!
YAY.. AND HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST A HAND
He is a lot darker than I had imagined. More handsome, too.
+Sally Branwen You know he's the gray-haired guy, right?
+Gustavo Passos Ok and?
+Anime Disciple I think that he thought that Sally believed that Mark was the one on the right due to the use of the word "darker".
This was really interesting! and I must say: Mark you´re actually quite handsome!
I always thought he was in his 30's I'm heart broken
samee
his about 50 years old
+J TZH OMG I did too XD
Diogo Baptista why are you heart broken?
I can confirm that putting your video's on youtube is an amazing success. I'm from Belgium (Europe) and even I bought your book 'mastering manga'. Well done!
Yep, me too. In my book he's an celebrity artist.
if you would tell me he was a talking hand and a wrist i'd believe you. mind blown. omfg
I'd like to see your how to draw books... not even own it, just read it. But I've never seen the in Australia :(
