Bronze TheSling I think TravisMcKim thought she was saying it like "Really? Like, what are you doing?" but what Learn2Draw meant was that she liked what Mark is doing. A simple misunderstanding (:
I'm soo hooked to your channel. I've been writing and drawing since I was little and have even written many short stories. unfortunately I lost most of my work to a house fire and have been in this start and stop mode for about 3 yrs now. I feel stuck. I'm actively writing and drawing again and hope to finish my first comic soon! thanks for the vids! you're awesome and I think I've had 2 of your books b4
Your story telling both in writing and narration is brilliant! xD And I love how you draw expressions, it's so classic, those shocked faces are the best thing ever! and when the guy was yelling as he's roughing up Brody his face...ahahaha LOL Good video! :D
who the hell dislike this wonderful videos??,... aw I see, let me guess, Someone who have always wanted to draw this well and never got to maybe??... Well that's what I believe.
I really enjoyed this Mark, learning how a true pro goes about story boarding was very interesting. Thank you for the inside look at your thought processes in conveying your story to the reader in a visual way. Show don't tell indeed!
Hey, Mark, you know what Brody can do, actually? Whenever Talia starts talking to him, he can always just pull out his cellphone and pretend he's talking to someone on that! lol Seriously though, great video. It confirmed a lot of different things I wasn't sure about, but had positive feelings about--the use of silence and ambiguity, namely. Thanks again. :)
Mark, I have read many of your books but I never noticed just how funny your dialogue is. When ever Landon said "babe" I found myself rolling on the floor laughing. I don't know if it was you voice or the fact that I wouldn't have expected you to use the word "babe" in a way like that. Great video, as someone who really wants to make their own comics this was very helpful and funny :)
THESE ARE THE VIDEOS I ENJOY THE MOST, MARK! Getting inside the actual process of creating a manga book, and how to choose what goes into the panels. PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE! Thanks!
i love the way the way the story,dialogue and panels move in some sort of flow, its wonderful! u have inspired me to start one comic of my own, thanks so much!!
Mark, I used to suck at drawing. I watched and followed a few of your totrials. After practicing, I can draw manga/Chibi stuff on my own almost perfectly. I watch your videos for more tips. Thank you for your help.
I have been subscribing to Mr.Mark Crilley for years now and has saw him constantly talking and showing his books which look very interesting, but sadly, it's very disappointing that I only saw Miki Falls series here in Malaysia but not Brody's Ghost series. The book looks very interesting and I really want it, but I can't find it anywhere in Malaysia. Every month I will go out to buy at least 5 new manga books, but every month, I still can't seem to find Brody's Ghost. Hummmm... What a shame...
***** Umm... Thank you for correcting... I guess... By the way, I don't like online shopping because I hate waiting my mom also won't allow it. But thank you for suggesting anyway and sorry for my bad english. I'm not english, plus I'm just 14. So I'm still learning.
I have to say, you're very smart Mark! I love how you lay out your scenes. It makes for easier understanding of the story while having a very cinematic feel. Plus the emotions that the characters had were so on point! Very realistic, indeed. Thank you for these videos! It really gives perspective to newbies like me hehe
This is great Mark! I appreciate your insight. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I’ve never drawn a comic, but I want to. Keeping variation in the camera view, closeups for intensity, snaking dialogue boxes, and the part about the interrupting dialogue boxes overlapping is great!
lol. I love how you did the old lady's voice in the Miki Falls one XD and I love how you, the artist and author of these amazing mangas, read aloud parts of your works to your fans! ^^ It's definitely a treat!
Thank you for this!! I wish I had gotten it a couple of weeks ago xD My final assignment for my illustration class is a 6 page comic based off of a short story and I am already in the inking phase of it :p This is still an incredibly helpful video, so thank you! :)
Thanks, i really liked this one! I laid down my pen for a while and haven't had time to do much drawing lately, but now after seeing this video i feel inspired to give comic creation a try. :)
OUUUU YEAH. One of the most useful video (even for experienced artists) ! I would be grateful if you can do more videos like this. Or you can do the same tutorial but with another pages of your books.
Thank you very much I was having problems with the face face face thing and now I have some cool idea I'm going to favorite this and re-watch it when ever I get stuck your awesome! Any videos about comic making are appreciated!
Mark...its not about spoilers its just that youve described all u r books in all of our video other than u r mangas that is and personally i appreciate that thnx for improving my skills...
I'm a huge fan of Brody's Ghost! I can't wait for the next issue! Seriously, great job, Mr . Crilley! You rock! Your art is amazing and your literature work is almost flawless! (I didn't like that bathroom scene very much, though. Talia caught me by surprise with that.)
In film, a directors style and choice for why a shot looks a certain way and why some things are on frame and other things aren't, the term for that is called Mise én scene (Meez-awn-seen) it's a french term for "what's on screen" but was adapted to filmmaking to better explain a directors style of film making. It can also be applied to comic book making. Just a little trivia I think you could use Mark.
I like how the conversation flowed with the third scene (Brody's encounter with Nicole's new boyfriend). It comes off very grounded and realistic whereas many artists would've went over the top and had a huge fight break out. The way the discussion played it out is what I would expect to really happen if I was in that situation.
Thank you Mark ^-^ I really enjoyed this video. I'm studying 3D animation and one of the first steps in animating a scene is to sort of "block out the scene" as they call it i think. which is bassically doing a story board like thing where the image changed every 10 seconds or so, and then go back in and refine the keyframes and change the lengths around and what not. And i feel like if i try and keep up with some tips you have used here, it could come in great handy for making, even an animated scene (:
Great video with the little secrects of Graphic Novel story telling. i did noticed @ the double page from the first example that you didn't take in account that the page would be folded ( the difference is noticible by Talia's skirt jumping over to upperbody)
I was afraid you werent going to know what you were talking about when i first read this..but your artwork is very fine and your words flow awesomely! Great job!
Hello mark crilley awesome video you done here makes me want to read brodys ghost myself. Um down to the point I just want to say thankyou for mentioning me in your last video on how to draw chibi L. It meant so much that I jumped for joy and tears of happiness you have always been an inspiration for me. So I took the chance of drawing you a thankyou illustration on my part. I will post it up eventually. Again thankyou!
Thank you so much this was really useful as I am just starting to write and illustrate my own comic story. I'd love for you to make another video like this soon :)
could you possibly do a video about some tips for when you have to draw a small character in a panel for example the panel at 7:09 when you had to draw mkki and hiro in the background
Mark if they ever make one of your books an anime I think it would just be the book word for word because you seem to really know exactly where to put pauses and everything else. Haha
markcrilley Yeah, every time I read one of your books or see clips of them in your videos I can immediately imagine it as a movie or show of some sorts. If I ever learn how to record this kind of stuff, Brody's Ghost would be the first thing I record. You make them so precise, so its easy to follow.
Thx to him I finished my stories, all I have to do is get better at drawing so my artwork doesn’t look like it was made for cartoon fans, I’m making superhero comics
Omg thank you soo much for replying im soo happy.i wondering if you could help me..my friends and i are intrested in doing draw and time lapse videos but being the noobs we are...we dont have a clue how😫It would be soooooooooooooooooo amazing if you could help us out please?Bye and keep up the AMAZING ARTWORK! 😘
Dang it! Now I wanna read more of your books! You are a sneaky salesman Mr. Crilly.
Really like what you are doing
I hope you are not talking about mark... because he is an amazing author/ novelist
TravisMcKim What? All she's saying is that she likes what he does in his videos.
Bronze TheSling I think TravisMcKim thought she was saying it like "Really? Like, what are you doing?" but what Learn2Draw meant was that she liked what Mark is doing. A simple misunderstanding (:
Amen.
Hmmmm….I think he is drawing.
I absolutly love this video! Your voice acting is great!
I'm soo hooked to your channel. I've been writing and drawing since I was little and have even written many short stories. unfortunately I lost most of my work to a house fire and have been in this start and stop mode for about 3 yrs now.

+manicoquita Thank you!
9:01 you giggled, don't lie
Damn. The dialogue is so awesome. It's like real people talking. Great job Crilley!
Skull Sliver Wow thanks! Glad you like it :)
I really enjoyed how you dissected your story telling method, a window into the mind of the creator. Very illuminating, thanks!
Love your old woman impersonation. :)
Your story telling both in writing and narration is brilliant! xD
And I love how you draw expressions, it's so classic, those shocked faces are the best thing ever! and when the guy was yelling as he's roughing up Brody his face...ahahaha LOL
Good video! :D
Your voice acting is great! it really made the story come alive, great job!
More videos teaching how to create a comic, please! A video with tips for designing characters would be awesome!
You should do a segment every now and then where people send art to you and you critique them
For anyone wanting to buy this series but unsure, please do buy it, I just finished the third volume, it's epic!
+Infinite Sky Thank you so much!
Omg know I REALLY want your books XD
Mg Teehee Thank you :)
markcrilley
OH MY GOD YOU REPLIED I ADMIRE U SO MUCH SENPAI I AM BUYING ALL BRODYS GHOST SERIES AND MIKI FALLS >.
Mg Teehee His drawing books have helped me alot! definitely get them
+markcrilley how did u draw the same thung
now my inner monologue is going to be your voice narrating every manga i read lol
who the hell dislike this wonderful videos??,... aw I see, let me guess, Someone who have always wanted to draw this well and never got to maybe??... Well that's what I believe.

*****
Then it's great comedic effect.
not everyone can afford a cell phone and this is the future so would if there was not cell phones? it's Mark's story and this is how he does it
sorry it sounded snarky, I wasn't being rude just thinking out loud as you said.
Garnet Lynne Hey, I wasn't trying to impose or anything--I was just joking. :)
Dude, your old grandma voice is awesome XD
Ikr XD
Mark, I have read many of your books but I never noticed just how funny your dialogue is. When ever Landon said "babe" I found myself rolling on the floor laughing. I don't know if it was you voice or the fact that I wouldn't have expected you to use the word "babe" in a way like that.
Great video, as someone who really wants to make their own comics this was very helpful and funny :)
Just by making this i realised how much you listen to your audience and every time you make a great episode to watch.. Thanks crilley
I love that comic relief moment in the 3rd scene where Nicole calls over the wall and Landon has to stop beating up Brody to answer her XD
Thanks! :)
Amazing Advice. :) you have a very unique yet effective way of telling a story.
Skotty DaSilva Thank you!
THESE ARE THE VIDEOS I ENJOY THE MOST, MARK! Getting inside the actual process of creating a manga book, and how to choose what goes into the panels. PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE! Thanks!

MayhemCause Thank you so much for supporting me~! :)
***** Cool,I guess we're the same then. But I'm not pure Malaysian though, I'm mix. Malaysian and Austrian.
***** Thank you for your help sir. I really thank you.
some seriously solid insights to consider for my current WIP. Thanks Mark!
"Highly useful" is a massive understatement. Thanks so much for these videos.
I have to say, you're very smart Mark! I love how you lay out your scenes. It makes for easier understanding of the story while having a very cinematic feel. Plus the emotions that the characters had were so on point! Very realistic, indeed. Thank you for these videos! It really gives perspective to newbies like me hehe
+Margie Lopez Thank you so much, Margie!
It's nice when people go through how they thought panels work together and with others. Thank you for the video Mr. Crilley I enjoyed it a lot.
I like it how Landon is so aggressive, but when Nicole calls to him a second time, he calms down.
This is great Mark! I appreciate your insight. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I’ve never drawn a comic, but I want to. Keeping variation in the camera view, closeups for intensity, snaking dialogue boxes, and the part about the interrupting dialogue boxes overlapping is great!
For miki falls i kinda like how the shading is done in a way that makes it have a slight aery feeling to it.
Could you please make a tutorial on how to draw lines and curves in a flowing motion/ smoothly? Thanks!
lol. I love how you did the old lady's voice in the Miki Falls one XD
and I love how you, the artist and author of these amazing mangas, read aloud parts of your works to your fans! ^^
It's definitely a treat!
You should be a voice actor :D
Thank you for this!! I wish I had gotten it a couple of weeks ago xD My final assignment for my illustration class is a 6 page comic based off of a short story and I am already in the inking phase of it :p This is still an incredibly helpful video, so thank you! :)
This makes me want to buy these books!
Thank you!
You have awesome voices Mark. I really felt the dialogue in your stories
Wow!! Your comics look interesting to read! I wanted to get Miki Falls for Christmas, if I do, I'll read it right away!!!
Thanks, i really liked this one! I laid down my pen for a while and haven't had time to do much drawing lately, but now after seeing this video i feel inspired to give comic creation a try. :)

Extremely helpful and Awesomesauce!!! This is just what I needed thank you Mark!!!! I need to read all of those books.
Great vid Mark, interesting to hear the story behind the story and how you come up with your ideas to create !!!
Pretty useful pieces of advice, thanks! You should make further videos on this topic again in the future.
I'm a huge fan of Brody's Ghost! I can't wait for the next issue! Seriously, great job, Mr . Crilley! You rock! Your art is amazing and your literature work is almost flawless! (I didn't like that bathroom scene very much, though. Talia caught me by surprise with that.)
