I bought Brody’s Ghost book a few weeks ago at my school’s book fair and finished reading it the day I bought it. It’s really awesome!!! It cheers me up knowing I have a book made by the amazing Mark Crilley. (I think I may be commenting too much. ^ u ^;)
Ok so i was like “Mwaha!!!! i finally got the eyes,face,body and ear right!!! bring it on hair!!”mark: ok so ill be doing this in time lapse…And then i was like ill still give it ago!! *Mark draws hair…*Me:Are you kidding me!!!! its just so wavy and all over the place, i can hardly draw a pony tail!! DX

well im trying to be an artist now and its a yes and no because no artists drawing is ever perfect and when i mess up i erase it or try to incorporate it into my art, but i have many times crumpled up art i dont like, but not ever artist does that
@2001elijah meganelly2000 forgot to tag u in his comment but he answered for u.Artists never rub out and a mistake is pure gold to them. The mistake can be turned into something to add to the drawing so any drawing an artist does will never ever be perfect. Ever.meganelly2000 1 hour ago

hello! me an my friend were 13 and we want some tips on how to draw characters from our imagination? we have all the tools but we can draw manga real good but not the thing we are aiming for! we started to make up the story and it’s pretty good, but do you have any art tips? please reply! ^_^
thank you so much, I drew along with the video, and it came out near perfect! The hair takes so long for a beginner like me oh man xD Wish you moved up the picture though to see how you got the top of the head, but it’s okay. Glad I am subbed!
at 2:13 (might have been 2:14, not sure) i think you said my name acidently when you were saying Eyelash you said Ailish (my names irish so it sounds funny, pronounced eye-li-sh) just had to say that because it was realy wired Grate vid, realy helpful < (“)
Hello I am Sara57126 I have a request please look at it some of my videos.Who is the beautiful you were sent to 73 people on. That you like and to which you do not like living on the earth and living somewhere else? I would be very happy, who do you load my comments there.
@killerscigars Hmm, I try everyday to draw my best, and same here, I cannot seem to get anything good or correct! But, practice makes perfect; I can’t draw poses on angles, but surely I can draw them straight. I hope you improve, and good luck!
I got told off in art for drawing in a style similar to yours. The teacher said it isn’t art, of course I argued and so I got a detention. My detention was with the head of art so I explained how this art style is more beautiful and requires more skill than most other work from modern artists to which she agreed. She talked to my art teacher and now I can draw all the hentai I want.
Last year I drew this in my sketch book, and I brought it to school. As I was adding some details onto it one of my friends came up to me and absolutely loved it! She even asked me to draw her the same version of it but to make it look like her. Ever since then I’ve gotten a lot of drawing requests, and it all began with you. I sincerely thank you Mark for helping me approve my drawing skills, and hope you keep making these awesome videos Thank you so very much!
Mr.Crilley YOU ARE AWSOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME i always try to draw alongside you but i never get past the face so i get the eyes, mouth and nose and sometimes the head but NEVERRRRRRRRRRR the the body or the hair soooooo im verrrrry glad that you made that drwing book =D but im still going to watch your channel and try to draw my own pictures and put them on my channel and ill have your book to help me =)thank you verrrry mouch mr.crilley <3
OMG OMG OMG THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! I CAN SUCCESFULLY DRAW ANIME NOW! IN YOUR FACE JOE DICKSON! hes a kid in my class who thinks i suck at drawing which i never did, but i got better over the month and hes in for one suprise >:3
Mr Crilley, I am impressed with your technique. While I watched this video I drew “alongside you” per sey, but when you moved the videos speed up, the hair I drew came out slightly messy though.At any rate I shall continue to draw along to your videos and such
YAY! thank yew! i drew the happy, angry and sad chibi’s and, as my first ever free-hand drawings they actually turned out really good! though not as good as yours! Is the black prisma color pencil what its actually called or is it like a brand? i think i may need one, normal black pencil isn’t really working in my favour xD
