This series is awesome I see all these time lapse vids on youtube and you wonder exactly what goes through the artist's mind when they go from step to step, and a series like this really gives us an insight into the mind of someone who knows what they're doing. Thanks Mark.
Hey mark, there are those of us who enjoy the full no timelaps because your explanation of your choices and comments are really helpful. Sure not every video should be like this, but even if you give us just an idea of your thoughts and choices and why you make them it helps immensely.
Mark, Thank you so much for this sequence of new video lessons. I anxiously await the final two segments. I'm following along with you step by step. You've taught me a ton already! It is so much fun to get back into illustration! You are an inspiring teacher!
Its a nice change of pace. Seeing how an actual illustration is done from start to finish is nice. It is very motivational in terms of wanting to draw. I cant wait to see the rest of these videos, and to see what you do after.
Yeah putting it all together in time-lapse when you're done is a good idea, and also it would help viewers get a better idea of just how much you usually speed things up when you do timelapse for future reference. I love these videos Mark, I don't get bored at all
I totally agree!!! I know he said that he wouldn't be very proud of the drawing at the end of the video but I love it like this, though I am interested in what he is going to add next because he has a knack for adding detail.
Thank you for taking the time to show the process you go through to complete a work. You even included the eraser, I can't wait to try this kind of follow along because I am one of those who have had struggles with water colors, but will now try again!
mark, i want to thank you for everything, you introduced me to the world of manga drawing and without you, i would never be as good as i am today. your tutorials have been the source of my inspiration and they give the strength to draw every single day. i am an haitian 11 year old kid, probably your only fan back there and i am an aspiring manga artist. keep up the videos and please make one about character design, it would be so helpful! like so he can see.
Your videos on illustration techniques (such as drawing chrome, leather, explosions, and stone surfaces) are the most helpful for me. It's not so much the tools you use but the decisions you make (and how you explain those decisions such as where to put a different color and why) that are more valuable then most art school classes. Keep it up! P.S. - the Ahh video was amazing, but for different reasons entirely.
I love the slow-moving nature of this video, and I love the idea of a four-part video series! I hope you do more multi-part series like this in the future!
Hi Mark. Loved the no time lapse videos so far! I like hearing your thought processes as you are drawing and correcting and painting. I'm fairly new to illustrating, but your how to videos really help alot!. I've been following you for about 10 months now. You're awesome and the new link is AHH-mazing!
The link was AHHHHH Mazing! LOL! Very cool! I loved the anamorphic can, freaky! Thanks for doing this narrated illustration series! it's really helpful!
OK, I just checked the Ahh video in the description, and OMG> My jaw actually dropped. That was AMAZING. I didn't know anyone could draw like that, my gosh I was (and still am) very impressed! Well done, well done indeed!!
I was just about ready to give up on drawing because music has taken up more of my time (I play my guitar for hours upon hours every day) of late. You, Mr. Crilley, have renewed my passion for drawing.
Thanks again for yet another great way to start the day, Mark! I know I can't speak for everyone, but I'm really enjoying the non time lapse videos (if anything, it proves that you aren't cheating by sprinkling magic dust on your artwork and fast forwarding through it).
man thanks i've been watchin' your vids since 1 'n a half years and thanks to you now i can draw e-very-thing!!!!! from manga to super realistic illusions and they are good i own everything to you
This really reminds me of a children's book illustration, which makes me really happy! I tend to use a lot of bright colours when I paint with watercolour, so I think I'm going to try this and see what happens. I really like your long videos, they're nice and I'm looking forward to the next ones! Thank you so much for this! :D
I've been following Mark's videos for a while now and there is something on his channel for all levels of ability. He also produced a great book on How to Master Manga which you can get on Amazon and no doubt other places too.
You said this would look messy at the end of this. It looks awesome even though it's not finished. I really like watching your videos. They help me a lot with my artwork. Thanks so much for what you do :)
Nice. Enjoying this series a lot. It's impressive how you get watercolors to give the effects you want on smooth Bristol. I decided to give watercolors a try and ended up switching to watercolor paper, which for me has been way more forgiving.
This is really cool, it reminds me that every artist as parts during the process where it doesn't look so perfect. Good Job! I think this is amazing. :)
Awesome video, Mark!! These narrated illustration videos have helped me with a class project for my graphic arts class. It really helped me out on how to apply watercolor on my illustration and the various techniques shown will help me along the road :)
That's it dude! You've really hit your stride with these no time lapse video. Throw in some of the voices you do, speak frankly about the process....Lovin these videos man! Keep it up!
1. watched part 2 as promised :) 2, can´t wait for part 3 and 4 3. very interesting to see the whole process in realtime 4. learning a lot 5. one of these "realtimers" every 6 month or so? maybe? 6. thx so much 7. you are awesome!!!
More more morrreeee!!!! I definitely love your work. I only plead to you to make more, no time lapsed videos! I also think you should make another few, with water color with touches of color pencil. Ive have never done water color before, this video completely changed my perspective on water color. I loved no time lapse, you should diff make more, more often!
I love this!!! I have been drawing this with you, and I really want you to do more real time drawings, your videos have helped me draw better than I have ever thought I could, thank you sososo much, you are like an art teacher ^-^

Your answer helps me a lot. No serious. I mean, watching every thing again would probably take me days, given the time available for me.
LOVE the real time, so I can draw and paint along with you. You're a great teacher, Mark

After many months of hesitation, yesterday i finally started my first watercolor/mixed media illustration. Thank you for inspiring us, Mark!
Why do his grass scribbles look better than my handwriting
hahaha true lmao

I think it's already looking good. It's not disappointing at all! Thank you, Mark.
It's amazing how even just 1 inch of the panel extra (when you zoomed out) makes a difference!
Wow, thank you for this video :)
I feel that it gave me more to watch this and how to use watercolor.
Thank you again!
Keep up the great work!! :D
I really like this 'no time lapse' stuff. In a way, it's refreshing. And it's nice to hear techniques from you as well.

Thats the best 20+ minutes video of real time drawing. Really awesome work. Even I couldn't plan and draw at the same time
+alexandre Dart Thank you!
Listening to you talk helps me concentrate with drawing and writing. Thanks man.
I love the slow-moving nature of this video, and I love the idea of a four-part video series! I hope you do more multi-part series like this in the future!
No time lapse WOO HOOO!!! Thank you Mark... your work is so very very inspiring. Will check out your work now.
I enjoy these, they let me think about things in drawing I never notice before. Keep up the good work.
Can't wait for the last two videos. These are seriously a great help. You have inspired me to try water colours!
These real time videos rock! It'd be awesome if you did more of these. I think a lot of people, including me, would be grateful!
Thank you for these real time videos Mark! They're super helpful!
I'm amazed by your stile! I can't wait to see the end of this drawing
Hi Mark. Loved the no time lapse videos so far! I like hearing your thought processes as you are drawing and correcting and painting. I'm fairly new to illustrating, but your how to videos really help alot!. I've been following you for about 10 months now. You're awesome and the new link is AHH-mazing!
You are creative genius! Thanks for sharing with us and teaching us how to improve our own talents.
The link was AHHHHH Mazing! LOL! Very cool! I loved the anamorphic can, freaky! Thanks for doing this narrated illustration series! it's really helpful!
I like how the suggestion toolbar arrange the "self portrait eyes" and the "how to draw Mouth and lip" together. Mark looks funny xD
OK, I just checked the Ahh video in the description, and OMG> My jaw actually dropped. That was AMAZING. I didn't know anyone could draw like that, my gosh I was (and still am) very impressed! Well done, well done indeed!!

You're worried about three minutes to tweak your drawing? It would take me half an hour!
man thanks i've been watchin' your vids since 1 'n a half years and thanks to you now i can draw e-very-thing!!!!! from manga to super realistic illusions and they are good i own everything to you
Definitely looking forward to the next two parts. That was excellent. I enjoyed and found it interesting, watching your progress.
This really reminds me of a children's book illustration, which makes me really happy! I tend to use a lot of bright colours when I paint with watercolour, so I think I'm going to try this and see what happens. I really like your long videos, they're nice and I'm looking forward to the next ones! Thank you so much for this! :D
This is awesome! I really have to say I'm enjoying watching your process and looking forward to the next two videos!
Mark, that coke ad is utterly AMAZING in every way....I just wanted you to pop the top!
I love your long videos because I just draw or browse pictures while you talk cuz your voice is so soothing for some reason lol
Love these videos. Having a bit of an anxiety attack knowing I have to wait till Friday to see more progression lol. Great job Mark as always !
loving the 'no time lapse' thing!
That Cola 3D Drawing, omggg was sooo amazing!!
I love drawing while listening to this...it's like drawing with somebody.
I like the format a lot. There is no need to apologize or explain why you're doing it.
love your water color work. its pure amazing. and enlightening .
You don't know how happy it makes me to hear you say "I'll be back with another one.....real soon" T_T
Mark Crilley you're absolutely brilliant at drawing! I wish I could draw like you
Wow. Your so talented Mark! The way that you drew that 3D Coke bottle was amazing
I've been following Mark's videos for a while now and there is something on his channel for all levels of ability. He also produced a great book on How to Master Manga which you can get on Amazon and no doubt other places too.
Looking forward to the next video, half way point looks great.
MOAR OF THESE. I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE 25 MINUTES I WILL WATCH THEM.
That coke vid was insane! I thought it was a real can! My mind is blown.. you're amazing, Mark
I can't wait to see how this crillustration turns out!
You said this would look messy at the end of this. It looks awesome even though it's not finished. I really like watching your videos. They help me a lot with my artwork. Thanks so much for what you do :)
Awesome, Mark. Cant wait to see the rest. Been following for about a year. Purchased "Mastering Manga", me and my four kids love it! Bless you
That was amazing. Even after I saw you draw the can I couldn't believe it
Real time is sweet. I get more out of these than I ever did in any of the college courses i took.
Nice. Enjoying this series a lot. It's impressive how you get watercolors to give the effects you want on smooth Bristol. I decided to give watercolors a try and ended up switching to watercolor paper, which for me has been way more forgiving.
I adore this series.
it would be good as a sort of recap cause people can forget over the weeks, great idea XD
Watercolor and colored pencils?
I learn something new from you with every video, Mark :) can't wait to see the final product!!
This is really cool, it reminds me that every artist as parts during the process where it doesn't look so perfect. Good Job! I think this is amazing. :)
I enjoyed this no time lapse approach quite a bit.
I can't wait for part 3 and 4!!! I learn alot of helpful tips from these videos! :)
Awesome video, Mark!! These narrated illustration videos have helped me with a class project for my graphic arts class. It really helped me out on how to apply watercolor on my illustration and the various techniques shown will help me along the road :)

I love these videos it turned out way better than you said it would be.
You cant picture something 100% in your head. YOu can only picture the great details.

some really good pavement artist - perspective benders in Brighton where I live. Always blows my mind when I see them. Like your can, very slick..
Loved it! awesome! can not wait to see it finished.
Everyone makes mistakes, but it takes an expert to know how to recover. Look forward to #3. Tanks.
Don't worry, Mark! We love the series. :3 I've learnt a bunch of new techniques to use. :D Thank you!
The magic of colour!
It's starting to look quite nice!
I love how you say "rea thing" at the end!

You should make a video on why you chose to do a certain cover illustration on one of your books and what you should include in the cover art
That coke drawing was incredible
Great video, Mark! :D Thanks so much!
By the way, that Coca-Cola drawing on the AHH site was mind-blowing!
