%99.99 of every art "tutorial" video I see are either speed paintings of people showing off (which teaches absolutely nothing!) or overly long videos which are clearly not planned out because they just repeat the same three sentences over and over. So, thank you for realizing that there are actually human beings warching your videos and not just makeing it for your own amusement.
You're reluctant to not say there is a right and wrong way (rightly so) of doing art. So I will say: THIS is the right way to make an art tutorial. 👍
Thank you John; you're very kind :)
markcrilley yeah, this tutorial is an ACTUAL tutorial.
You should check out alphonso dunn! He's an amazing art teacher on youtube too!
markcrilley wait how did you know his name?
Am I being dumb?
Uh oh
@@hatotoou maybe he knows the guy personally
I had an art teacher who would make these beautiful artworks by stippling. She would get a giant canvas, and just dot on paint a teeny bit at a time until she had a completed work.
So much respect. I can hardly sketch something without getting impatient.
the maximum time I have ever spent on a drawing was like 2 hours, and I lost focus so many times. To anyone who can draw longer than that, and draw ANYTHING with stippling, really, so much respect.
My mom used to do portraits of people's dogs like that, only with a pen instead of a brush. It's really amazing to see the drawings come to life over time.
I had to make a stippled picture in art when I was in high school, it looked good when I was done but i hated doing it.
The longest time that I spent in a drawing was 61h. I was 16 at the time, It was for an art exposition in my town about "25 April" a big day from where I am. Man I didn´t sleep at all during those 2 weeks, and I was attending school so I could only start at the end of the day, some many Energy drinks and coffe consume, listening to trash metal and hard rock songs to see if I could get myself fired up. After those 2 weeks my head just became blank and I would sleep during classes and recess, not forgetting that I couldn´t even draw anything else just thinking about it would make my head flip around and turn off, at the time it was hard and a pain in the ass but now I feel proud and I laught at the consequences. But, time flies away if you like what you are doing
Do you have a picture of the end result? I'm really curious about it!
My favorite is the brush. Brings out the dragon's primal power. Stippling looks like it would work for flashback scenes.
Cyreus stippling makes it look like snow
Or like it's made of stone
Cyreus I like the brush one as well. I've used a brush pen for some of my videos but not an actually dip brush
Mine too. It looks like Sai's drawing from Naruto. I also like the 5th one. It looks like it's a Sand Dragon
I like the brush one but the stippled one looked pretty neat. Also i find it interesting that adding less detail to the scales makes it look more detailed! Perhaps because its like light shining off the scales.
jim lees art is bae
Dev Lightning i think it may because stippling adds rendering (3d modeling of the light) to the look, kind of a grey scale version of pointillism which was used by impressionists to create colors tones that are in between. plus we are used to the use of halftoning in newsprint to convey grays. In any case it's pretty impressive.
The brush one somehow makes the dragon seem more evil, and the stippling one looks least evil (more like a stone dragon statue).
Dev Lightning I do a lot of those stipple drawings mostly for drawing skulls. it's fun and the result is great but it's really time consuming so unless your really patient and precise I don't recommend it. and also mark crilly the pen you used for the stiplling you could've gone a size bigger. I would use a 0.8 or an 0.3 and 0.05 for the smaller details.
That's a great point. i went back to looking at them after reading this and noticed that the stippled one lacked any emotion when compared to the brushed one. Then I realised why: the brushed dragon has thick lines around the eye, which narrows the white of the eye, making it look angered or evil.
It's amazing how a few mm of extra ink completely changes the emotion of the creature.
Great job Mark. One of my online students just shared this with me.
I have a request: old man time lapse would be so cool! like design him or a q and a on how we want it to look and then do it? Idk I just really would want to see it
Whenever someone requests this I always give it a thumbs up and add ~ Steampunk Ol'Man Timelapse! LOL
he should do old man time lapse in like 5 different styles
OMG YES MARK PLEASE DRAW THIS MARK!!!!
If enough people reply to your comment, he just might!
😄😄😄
I would definitely like to see that one!
Only Mark Crilley:
*Says he isn't skilled with a brush*
*Goes ahead and uses a brush skilfully*
THE SUPER EXPENSIVE BALL POINT PEN xD
Tomato Artist There's a brand called "fine/ine" here and they have .05 to .8 pens for like 3 bucks, but they run out a bit faster cause they're smaller.
Tomato Artist Artist Loft has some fairly cheap but still of good quality art supplies. That what I mostly use. If you have a Micheals where you live you can pick them up there.
Yeah, that caught me completely off guard. xDD
Ik but I like suggesting cheaper alternatives lmao
Ooooo woooooowwww so expensive it probably cost a whole entire 50 cents haha That did completely catch me off guard too lmao
I know Mark didn't set out for us to compare the styles of inking and determine a "best", but I really wanted to say that the third style with the brush has always been my favourite and the style that I'm dying to learn to do.
Mark, the first time I watched your videos I was in fifth grade. I wasn't necessarily good at drawing for my age but I drew a lot. I watched all of your videos for about three years after that and then slowly stopped. I am now a senior in high school. Your videos inspired me to become a better artist and I don't think I'd be as good as I am today if it weren't for you. I want to thank you for allowing me the chance to earn this talent through the years. Not only was I able to see my art grow over the years but as I was suddenly recommended this video, I'm able to see how much you've grown as well. I wish you luck with the rest of your future and I thank you again.
Thank you so much, Bri!! You're very kind ^_^
I usually draw by the first style but it can be very time consuming... I find myself liking the 2nd one quite a lot, might try that style more often. For some strange reason it feels more detailed when you don't add a whole bunch of details, interesting!
I think it's to do with the contrast, if the whole drawing is really detailed, none of it really stands out. But if you have some areas that are jam packed full of detail and others that are empty, they both accentuate each other a bit.
DarkMagicSeptember it depends on what you're going for. The first is sort of dainty while the second gives sort of the illusion of movement,
As an artist who uses stippling in almost all my drawings, I can deffiently say that even though it is the most time consuming, I find it to be the most rewarding. It catches people's eye and gives drawings a whole new realm of depth and emotion. It's great to see another artist at least mention the style, seeings that it isn't commonly used.
I wouldn't want to do any big drawings this way but I do see the appeal. It does give a very soft, gradual shading effect which I really do like.
Rather than teaching me somethig this video kind of inspired me, which is so much more worth. Thank you!
Thank you :)
I don't envy you for having done the stippling technique. My personal favorite is the brush technique. I just feel the drawing is more alive and more accomplished. Thank you for inking five different ways. Just the time alone spent on the stippling method is enough to make make me appreciate your lessons/videos even more. Thank you.
Thank you, you're very kind :)
So thankful for your work i cant afford art school and im so glad you have these tutorials for us free of charge. I am so thankful :)
Thank you Rebekah ^^
Mark Crilley, I love that you tell people that there's not one way that you have to do it or these are the 5 inking methods that are the only way to use the ball point pen. Your just one of my favorite people! I just hate people that are like 'this is the way you have to do it or you'll never be a true artist if you don't do it this way.
Thank you Finn; I kind of say it almost too often, really-- in too many videos-- but I feel it's an important message to get out there. :)
you know what mark! I think you should have a go at combining the Japanese and the western styles to create a human character and a non human. I think it will be very cool
ooh by the way I adore your patience when it comes to stippling. The effect feels rustic and I just love it. thanks for the video!
this is a pretty great suggestion and I personally recommend it
one of the interesting things of the ballpoint pen is that the line width is very consistent, and that you have very precise control on the ink flow giving you very confident lines.
Wow! I believe this is the ONLY illustration i have seen executed 5 ways...ever!
Sure i have read how to draw books and see drawing techniques and shading but you never see the same subject repeat illustrated like this. This may seem like a simple illustration comparing drawing styles but you actually did it perfectly so that beginners (like me) can really analyze line and style.The line variation, shading styles and contrast, yes of course there are more than 5 drawing styles (probably hundreds), but these 5 are great basics.
Personally i'd like to see a combo of #2 and #3. I love the retro "comic book" feel of #3 (love the lines and blacks contrast) but honestly i'd rather use pen and marker rather than a brush and ink.
Thank you for this i learned a great deal.
Also #5 stipple...i think a person who does that manually by hand is insane, IMHO stipple should only be done digitally with a custom brush.
Thank you for your kind words :)
the brushed dragon pops, it's easy to distinguish between the head and the body, out of all methods it's my least liked to work with.
I would of liked to see a 6th dragon with a combination of all of the 5 styles you presented here.
Mark, you are an inspiration to want to create, thank you!
When I needed help on eyes years ago, I found your video. When I needed help on hands, you made a video. When foreshortening was a problem, again you created a video. Now you have helped me with inking. I have been subbed to you for years and i really appreciate your help. Continue to make great video's mark.
It's interesting to see the uniform line style compared side by side with the others, specifically the second and third styles where the line widths are more varied. I think for this particular illustration the high amount of detail, with the scale textures and such, makes it difficult to pick out individual parts from one another when the line width is uniform; the horns blend in with the neck, the smaller details on the back of the jaw are hard to pick out, etc. My instincts tell me the even line width style would lend itself more towards colored illustrations, where different colors would serve to differentiate one area of high detail from another more than the lines would, or towards illustrations with more spare details, say with less textured surfaces and such. As you aimed to demonstrate, though, all styles have their strengths and weaknesses. Again, a very interesting demonstration. Thank you for posting, Mark! A pleasure to watch, as always!
Hi Mark!
Just want to thank you so much, love your videos but mostly I love that you're not judgemental or "you're not a real artist is you do like this/ can't do this" something I've noticed on some other channels, really effective at discouraging someone 😋
You really bring out my curiosity and make me wanna try everything no matter the result! So thank you and greetings from Sweden.
Thank you so much ^_^
For me the brush technique and the stippling really give the drawing the most life and personality.
Half the time I just watch your videos to hear your voice. It's like ASMR to me.
My librarian was a roommate of Bill Watterson in college. She said that he asked the school if he could paint the Creation of Adam on his dorm ceiling, and the college let him as long as he painted over it once he left. She said she saw it, and it was beautiful and amazingly accurate. He never told anyone of it except close friends, and it was the best piece of art she ever saw. He painted it over in white at the end of the semester.
I had a friend that would do nothing but stippling. It was maddening watching him do full illustrations but the end result was always awesome. I tried several times but I just don't have the patience for that. Out of all your inkings, I like the ink and brush technique. Followed by the good ol bic pen!
In the first one I really like the cross hatching inside the mouth.
In art school we were taught that a line shouldn't look like a line because organically there is no such thing as a line.
The dragon looks more fierce in the second one as there is more indication of movement.
The 3rd one looks very Disney.
So WW2 was when the world quit the ink pot and Quill pen and picked up a pen. Even with ball point pen I prefer black as blue is very casual.
Stippling looks so Kewl :D I love how it came out despite the fact that it must have been a royal pain in the arse to do.
I loved this video. for my video I mostly use the first method. great job Mark.
I like the 5th one and the 4th one
My opinions:
First one: looks like from a cartoon
Second one: looks like from a manga
Third one: IRL DRAGON!
Fourth one: Game modeling
Fifth one: A pixel game dragon thing
Man, there is something just so wonderfully thrilling about the blue from the BIC pen. Ball point is one of those mediums that gets so much more depth to the artwork than you'd expect.
This video was great! For me, who has not had an art class since the 8th grade, this type of instruction is the bee's knees! Basics and fundamental knowledge is a huge deal when I look at a drawing and wonder just how certain effects or 'looks', if you will, were created.
Thanks, Mark!
Thank you :)
I love shading with a ballpoint. the differences in pressure and negative space in your hatch make very smooth transitions.
Amazing narrator and artist, I'm glad you have 2.6 million subs you deserve it!!! I just stumbled on this channel yesterday and I'm hooked
Thank you!
I like the brush look. It really shows where the light is coming from
So I've been with you for quite some time now, and I think this is my favorite video so far. I've tried some inking methods myself and typically choose them based on the emotions I want to invoke. I've never tried using a brush or stipling, but seeing your results is reeeeally tempting.
Thanks so much for all of your videos! You manage to keep it fresh and inspiring all the time, from your drawing tutorials across your travel videos up to your lookbacks to your previous sketchbooks and artwork.
AHh I love the brush, ballpoint, and stippling ones! They make you want to look at it longer. All the little details, they hold a lot of interest.
Mark I just want to say you are so great this was actually a really big help because I was actually about to Ink a drawing and you have not delivered me into the land of ink... Thank you
sorry there was a typo I said now delivered not not delivered
Here's a tip for you. If you click on those three dots to the left of your comment, a small window will pop up offering the option to edit or delete your comment.
Edited to add; Do you see the word edited beside the time posted? That shows I edited this comment.
The second one almost looks alive! It’s just got that quality about it that’s hard to describe, but makes it look like it could just fly off the page at any moment.
nice thank you so much Mark!!! I do some drawing and with your video you help me so much !!! you are the best !!!
Thank you :)
As usual they all LOOK AMAZING!! But if I had to pick a favourite it is stippling, I think it's very calming
Your videos are very helpful, the amount of times I wanted to learn how to draw something I said t myself "mark crilley will have a video on this"
Thank you!
Another master of brush inking is Takehiko Inoue. Entire Vagabond manga is done with brush and ink, and it is drop dead gorgeous.
aww, I was kinda hoping for a dip pen as well. The type that opens when you press a little bit.
I love how Mark is unbiased with all styles of art
Can you please do a workstation/art studio tour. It would be so interesting, and also could you show us all of your art supplies, that would be so cool to see!
This vid explains about all the art supplies I use: ruclips.net/video/xEBzCr_kNns/видео.html
Mr. Animoo Draws Agree 👍🏻
markcrilley i know this is a dumb question...but...uhhhhh....do you know who mikey mega mega is?sorry..im just asking
great work with the brush, especially for not using it all the time... hands down my favorite!
This was such a fun video to watch, and really inspiring me to go and try out some different inking techniques myself. I normally use fineliner pens (like the Microns or Copic), but this has made me want to go back to basics and play around a bit more, to see what kind of looks I can get. So easy getting comfortable with the tools you normally use. This is a great little exercise!
The brush method looks surprisingly great, I really like the strong shadow you can imitate with it. Second favorite is the stippling, it makes the dragon look like it's carved out of stone which I think is amazing!
Thanks for this video, it's perfect timing for Inktober! I hope to try out all 5 of these
Stippling gave the dragon a much softer feel like in a grassy meadow, unlike the brush which felt much more dramatic like in an underground cavern lit with torches. The first one seemed rigid and flat, like looking at a 2D dragon on a scroll. Personally, I liked the second one best, because the line quality adds a pleasing depth. Ballpoint pen is a more yeilding material than people think. I like how different inking techniques can set the mood perfectly for any setting.
Very Nice! I love the stippling technique, but it's hard for me to enjoy both doing and looking at it since I know how long and painful it is to create such a drawing.
All of these look great, but I LOVE the 3D effect the stippling has to the drawing, the 'color' contrast the ink and brush has, and the sketchy look of the ballpoint pen-because personally-I ink 'sketchy' 80% of the time.
I absolutely love you drawing tutorials, they have helped me so much! So thank you for taking time to make these videos! I sure do love them! You are an amazing drawer. I love the drawing with the first drawing, but the 08 looks super cool.
Thank you Sierra!
markcrilley You are very welcome!
Omg I was just looking through old tutorials and thought I'd look at one of yours and...and you just taught me how to INK!!!! After nearly a year of trying to figure out how, you taught me in like 10 minutes!!! Thank you Mark!!!!
I wanted to let you know that I recently have found one of your books in my school's library. The librarian really likes reading them! :D
One artist I follow uses ball point and it's amazing how much detail you can get with them.
Really shows that art tools are all about personal comfort.
I am doing Inktober and this really is going to help out thx Mark.
Gotta say, the paint brush looks reeeaaaaally good!
Definitely my favorite.
Everything you do is gorgeous
Thank you!
cupkace88 it is
Lara Salitra indeed
wow. so i read the first volume of Brody's ghost 5 years ago when i was still in public school. and i enjoyed it so much, but try as i might i couldn't find any other volumes, so i stopped looking but never forgot about it. and now 5 years after reading it, i watch this video only to find that you made the series. and i just thought that was really cool. you are a great artist and even inspired me to get into drawing. (im not very good), but thank you for giving me a fond memory.(sorry for my grammar and spelling)
Thank you Shawn!
I have you mastering manga book its awesome your a awesome Artist i wanna be like you some day
Thank you!
I really enjoyed seeing the differences side by side. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Have you ever inked with the sharpie ultra fine point? I want to know what you think of it.
Same, I only have that so I want to know
yokitron290 i find that they can be debilitating if you ever want to add detail because they bleed a lot, and the nib breaks down very easily
im not an expert, and sorry im not mark crilley answering your question, but id say use a nice ball point pen in place of the sharpie (and I'm pretty sure the ink is kinda purple) most inking pens are fairly cheap, about 2-3 dollars and they work perfectly well even if they're not the most expensive (and I'm pretty sure the sharpie coasts the same almost) but obviously if you can't get one online or have an art store or bookstore (lots of book stores sell nice ball point pens and inking pens like mark uses)
again im not an expert, but I used to use sharpies and i feel like they're not the greatest you can use for the price you're paying
hope that helped anything
Yogie that's fine ! i actually used to press really hard on the page when i was younger (ive gotten away from that now that i started using brush pens) so maybe i need to revisit the sharpie and give it another chance
+sketchycass No problem. I was really wonder what anyone's opinion was about the sharpie marker since it really does bleed alot.
Sharpie products are nice and smooth to work with, considering they're typically used for writing, so they flow across paper. However, if you plan on coloring a picture you outlined with a sharpie pen with ink, the sharpie outline will bleed due to the liquid beyond the point of repair. Micron pens are better for liquid coloring because they are waterproof. ^_^
Love the side by side comparison of different styles. A Winsor Newton Series 7 brush would make your life a lot easier with brush inking.
Hi Mark, I'm a big fan. Is there any chance you could do some more how to draw animal videos? So helpful & fun!
coming soon :)
Georgia Isabelle that would be cool
My favorite is ball point, and I use all of these methods depending on the drawing. It gives me the freedom to sketch a bit before really committing, as well as the delicate shading available. Thank you so much for this video!
I actually don't like the first one. Because all the lines are so uniform, it just looks so... boring? Despite shading it looks like there's no real depth to the picture.
subwayvesubscriber True, I totally agree. I think it makes the drawing look lower level
This video was very interesting. It's fun to see other inking techniques than my own, and it inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and try out different inking.
I really wanna do the stippling technique. But I don't wan't to screw up my drawing. ;P
Same
just print out a copy and go from there :) (If possible)
The stippling is amazing as you can really get a feel for lumps and shadows more then you do with the other styles. But honestly the brush is my favorite, probably because as you mentioned, Bill Watterson was a HUGE influence on my childhood and reason I got into drawing
Mark really like the video..When comics are been drawn , lets say Batman for example.. would somebody sit there and hand ink all the drawings, or would the colour be done by a computer software program for time sake ?
Inking can be by hand traditionally or digitally these days, but for superhero comics the coloring is almost always digital.
Thought so..nice to know .Thank you Mark..Love the art work you do.
In the recent run of Batman,the ones drawn by Greg Capullo, he would still hand draw with a pencil. Then he sends the scanned image to another artist Johnathan Glapion (He actually has youtube videos of him inking pages of Batman on RUclips) who for the most part hand inked everything. And as Mark said, another artist does the colors digitally.
Greg Capullo..another good drawing talent..Thanks for the info.
no problem! :)
I imagine the stippling technique is one that you either find therapeutic or drives you absolutely insane! I like the result though, it looks almost like a ghost or mist compared to the others. The blue ballpoint is the most similar to how I draw and I agree it's easy to be sketchy with it and feel safe, however I think on it's own it's hard to add sharper contrast so that frustrates me. The details of the scales draw my eye in the first one and personally I think clean, neat lines are really satisfying to look at but overall I like the second one the most. Definitely want to start inking with one of those black pens now! :)
Great video Mark :)
This comment may or may not get buried, but I just wanted to say that you are like the only artist/drawer on all of RUclips that doesn't make me feel bad about my drawings. I mean, everyone else seems kinda "braggy" or seems like they boast about how good they are. Your channel has inspired me to draw and try to become good at it. Thank you :)
Thank you Bethany, for your kind words!
this was über interesting!
Thanks Markcrilley, I really didn't know the best way to sketch until I found your video.
How about different paints? Acrylic, watercolor, oils, and whatever else I can't think of!
Thanks for the comment, MyaWho-- haven't seen you around here for a while! Great suggestion :)
No problem!! I've taken a break from youtube mostly.
My favorite technique was stippling when I was in high school. I remember my forearms hurting so bad after a major drawing. I loved how easy it was to blend colors with stippling.
5 words.
You are a fucking pro
Well, yes, I do this professionally, so I can't disagree with you. ;)
I just don't understand. This was recommended for me eve though I've never searched for artist/ drawing things before... meaning that I'm not that much into art. But I would never ever in my life be able to do this... I don't even care if it looks like shit, I'm still completely impressed
Nathan Rotlisberger anyone can draw if you take the time to learn
Lol, for me it would take like 10 years to draw that xD. (Im a noob)
I absolutely loved that stippled one. Kind of blew my mind.
Mark how does it feel to be one of the mostly subscribed
artists on RUclips?
I feel very very lucky :)
markcrilley oh yes you do
Don't be so shy, that's not luck, that's result of really hardwork for years!
#ahemsorryformybadenglish
That last one is a nice way to approach textures.
A combination of classical methods for the smoother parts (horns, front scale'plates) and what you did there for the scales (green) and flesh (red) using another of the shown tools would look absolutely awesome!
Mark are doing anything for Inktober?
I think the stippling technique looks so unique, it definitely looks appealing to me. But I've enjoyed seeing all the different techniques, I might give some new ones a go :)
I really like how the last one looks. I would like to give it a try but it looks really tedious.
I have tried stippling a couple of times in the past and I found it quite a lot of fun. It felt like I didn't have to concentrate that much but instead could just sit there, relax and make those dots.
when does mark crilley ussually upload vids?
New video every Friday, usually around 2 pm Eastern Time.
markcrilley thx, and wow he really replied
That last one is so cool, it's like the dragon is made out of sand or stone.
you should DO more earth based DRAWINGS or just horror DRAWING!! for this month. >:( (I just corrected it!)
fgfdhjjgj you should English or not comment on RUclips videos
well jeez my bad for forgetting the word DO! or DRAWING!
Have you ever read the manga Uzumaki by Junji Ito?
no but I think I heard of it.
fgfdhjjgj it's a pretty disturbing horror manga about people getting obsessed by spirals. It's not horror about ghosts or supernatural beings, but it's really scary. If you like horror, check it out.
I love watching your videos while drawing, sometimes I need a break from listening to edm.
Surprised you didn't plug Miki Falls. XD I guess you're just getting too many books to plug them all now.
It's true, and more are on the way :)
+markcrilley All people that has patience will have good luck .🌸🕜🕞🕣🕕🕑🕐🕒🕖🕟🤗❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻😮😎😎😺😸👨🏼👨🏼⏰⏰🎌🎌💯💯💯💯🆙🆙2️⃣🆒
I've never seen stippling before and I thought it was really interesting. It gives the drawing more of a 3D look which is pretty cool. By the way, I love your videos and you really helped me find my drawing "personality" I guess you could say. I use your 1st and 2nd mastering manga books and I really like them as well. I started drawing manga about 2 or 3 years ago and I could not draw on my own. I had to copy other drawings or pictures. Now, it all comes comes to me pretty naturally (except the body. I'm still working on that) and it's all thanks to you!
Thank you for your support, Mackenzie :)
I challenge you to a week of only stippling.
Challenge not accepted! :)
Hahaha fair enough
Frank22 I think mark wants to keep some sanity!
Madelyn Janelle Art yup
markcrilley its look like youve printed it
Wow... the stippling and ink and brush versions look GREAT!
Too soon for a creative comment 😶😶
I really like the approach you took to this topic, and how you presented it. I like how you mentioned how to you, there is no winner. I must admit, I prefer different aspects of each technique, such as the solid mouth and shadows of the third dragon, the sketched look of the ballpoint pen, and the ferocious look of the second drawing.
I really like the second drawing because it is very realistic in the way that it is not " perfect." Meaning it is not so perfectly detailed it is 2 dimensionally unrealistic and adds a lot of natural look to it.
PS: great vid : )
Thanks Mark- they are all great, but I like the dimensionality of the brush one, it really seems to pop out of the page more. The most complete master of the brush I have seen- Kim Jung Gi.
