To this day you have taught me so much, and here I am at Nearly 26 years old, having watched you since the channel's inception, and still learning something new. Thank you, Mark.
Mark has been invaluable to many of us. Been creating my own manga story for over a decade now and many of the techniques that I’ve used I learned from him. Thanks, Mr. Crilley. 🙏
I made too many drawings with fine details first, this is important to remember to do it like this video demonstrates with large forms lightly rendered, then small details after. When I observe this convention I always appreciate my efforts more. Thanks MC, for the reminder.
5:00 - I'm always hesitant to erase part of my drawing to have something else overlapping it... (especially when I've already added details) But I'm gradually getting over it because it really helps to give the drawing a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, it can make the illustration look even better!
Literally my drawing inspiration when RUclips still ran on cat videos. Thank you so much Mark for all your great advice and art artwork. I literally draw my sketchy lines the exact way you do, and I think it’s cause of the shear amount of Crilley I used to watch back in the day
Thank you Mark for showing us your secrets. I really like hearing your voice. I don't draw (I'd love to, but I feel like I am too scared and intimidated to try), but watching your videos and listetning to you talk and explain your techniques somehow calms me down. Cheers from Poland, thank you for being YOU for so many years. Take care!
7 years ago i watch your miku drawing and learn how to draw like that. Now im studying architechture at the most famos university about architect in Viet Nam. Just want to let you know you are my best teacher.
It's so awesome you're still making videos, you're a huge inspiration to me and the reason I started drawing art, particularly anime art. I found your channel when i was about 12, I am 23 now! I had a bunch of your novels and your "how to draw manga" books when I was in high school. Thank you dude, you've created soooo many manga artists. I'm a professional now also this video is STILL very helpful, even with all of my training. You teach more in a single video than the all classes i took combined
I started watching when you only had about 10 videos posted and I loved every single one. I learned so much from you all those years ago. Now I'm back and realizing how much I still have to learn. I'm so impressed at how much you've grown as an artist . Thank you for everything
I 💖 your videos. I’ve been drawing and painting, off and on, nearly all of my life as a hobby(now 65), and I still learn something new from you. (PS I’ve bought several of your books - they are great!)
I really liked the part where you said “just touching looks kind of awkward. Either pull it away or commit to it fully overlapping.” (Not exact quote). I’ve seen this in my own work but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong that clearly. The only thing I find odd is no mention of using a reference photo for maximum authenticity and accuracy. Any reason why?
Thank you you Mr Crilley you solved my problem of how to draw backgrounds and people in perspective together. This is the video i was waiting for without realizing it!
Wow! Once again you've taken a topic I've been struggling with, and broken it down into simple steps. I've always found these kinds of details difficult, and after watching this and looking back over old drawings, I can see that I haven't been overlapping the elements enough. Plus, the technique of laying in the basic shapes and then adding detail - that's brilliant. Thank you, Mark! Totally agree about perspective. It's kind of inescapable. When I finally devoted some time to learning about it and practicing, I found that my drawings started to "read" better.
Can we appreciate that this man has been making videos for a little over a decade, hasn't updated his quality or changed his video style and yet is still teaching and entertaining effectively
Do you have a video or can you do a video on drawings where a character doesn't actually have an outline but you can still tell their form and face using line strokes? I know mangas do this a lot, I'm particularly thinking of a picture from the Berserk manga.
I wonder if you can use perspective to spot Photoshop and tampered pictures . Meaning, studying the photo for any lines that don't follow the perspective🤔
i was 11 when i first seen this channel, i am now 20 and still learning. im a far better artest now, but still very far to go. art is beautiful and deeply personal. im so glad i stuck with it
I think a quick perspective lesson would have sufficed. Especially for what looks like a simple one-point. Also for background design the best tip I was given was to design around a function. For example this girl is studying, ask yourself where is she? Her personal room? Library? Then ask what would she need to study? Using this example it looks like she's studying in her room. To study she would need a light source via lamp, her sources are books hence the book shelf, she'd need papers to write on so extra paper and pens/pencils etc. How would she organize the pens? Via cup or pen tray etc. From there is gets easier because you can personalize the room now by adding toys, pictures, posters. I know this is long but this is what really helped me out when it came to backgrounds.
After the details were put in (before shading), I almost felt like the picture, and figure, was a bit crowded. Maybe it's my personal preference, I prefer simpler styles, and if that involves some 'dead space', especially around what I want the main figure to be, it feels more comfortable.
i started watching your how-to and instructional videos in 2012, or maybe sooner, and you've been a big help and helped me keep up my motivation. Thank you! (^ ^) God bless
For me one of the biggest challenges is when to add more details while drawing my comic: sometimes I feel like I start adding more and more and distracts from the focus of the scene, while other times the background of the panel still feels somewhat empty. And, of course, perspective also is a beast to be tamed.
My high school art teacher called two lines merging together like the inkwell and lamp "mergers". Mergers were the first thing he'd look for whenever you brought him your work
You should do do a video on how to draw hair at various levels of neatness, one end having really need and brushed/combed hair and the other end having messy and unkempt hair
Mark, thank you for doing this with pencil and paper. I have only ever seen this kind of tutorial in digital art and it is amazing to see the process you use!
Don't know how many times you've helped. I always come back to your videos when I'm not sure what to do with a certain part of my illustration or simply forgot how to do it. Thank you!
I kust want to thank you for making these! Im 19 and so much of my early artwork was following your tutorials when i was like 11. I feel that you're who pushed me to really learn how to break down a drawing
I’ve been a subscriber since way back when, during the creation of Miki Falls videos. Back when Mark was art RUclips’s soul creator. I learned so much from you that I feel I owe all of my thanks to you for the artist I have become and the progress I have made over the years. Your teachings have and always will resonate through me. Thank you sensei 🫡🙏🏻

I've been watching your videos for 8-9 years now, ever since I was a tiny art noob with no talent whatsoever. Here I am now as a professional artist 🙏

That was cool, thank you. Another perspective in illustrating

Great video. Very relaxing and fills me with confidence. A master of the pencil
Such amazing talent.
I love it
Thank you!! Still practicing perspective and I love detailing my sketches
A great video! As I try and make my own comics, I find myself referring to your videos on topics like this. Thank you for the excellent content
this is fantastic
Drawing everything in perspective sometimes feels really irritating, but really the end result is worth the patience, thank you for the tutorial Mark!
Thank you for this ❤ 👍 😄
Thank you. I needed this, my drawings always look so empty.
Great video!

Fascinating. I learned a lot, thank you Mr Crilley.

You are the GOAT Mark, I've been learning from you since I was 12 and now I'm 25, cannot thank you enough for introducing me to art 🎨☺️
i started watching your how-to and instructional videos in 2012, or maybe sooner, and you've been a big help and helped me keep up my motivation. Thank you! (^ ^) God bless
You rock, sir. I do large-scale murals, and whenever I get a mental block, the teaching on your channel always saves me.
Hat-tip from Dr. Love
Mark is this Emily from Comic Book Lesson? 🙂
Me searches RUclips for this exact video.
Sees mark Crilley made the video I needed.
😮
Wonderful video, Mark. This is something I have a horrible time with, so I appreciate the how-to. :)
Yaaaaas thank you so much for this video!!! Very informative! Thank you Mark
Thank you for your detailed insight and perspective on the subject! 😉
Surely i found this video useful. You thaught me all i know about drawing.
For me one of the biggest challenges is when to add more details while drawing my comic: sometimes I feel like I start adding more and more and distracts from the focus of the scene, while other times the background of the panel still feels somewhat empty.

you are really good at drawing cartoons ~~^^
