  4. Well done! This honestly helped so much, it gave me so many pointers and tips, and I actually feel inspired! By the way, I noticed how you held your pencil, your fingers were far up, and your index finger bent like that. You’re double-jointed, right? Is that possibly a good way to hold your pencil when drawing? I hold my fingers very close to the brown part of the pencil. Once again, lovely job and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos! You just earned a subscriber!

    Is it alright if, in my first drawing tutorial, I put a link to one of your manga tutorials in the description? I want everyone to know how awesome you are. XD Even I look up to you, and I’m not easily impressed about drawings, being a manga artist myself. :)

    Mark, you are amazing! How can I get in contact with you? I want to become really good at anime, and there’s no one who teaches with simplicity the way you do. Anyone can grasp things from you because of the way you teach :)

    Hey, could you upload a tutorial on how to draw those base heads? I’m new to drawing manga style (in fact, just new to drawing in general). I watched your “eye placement” tutorial and did a fine job if I say so myself, but that’s the only head I can do…Can you help?

  13. You oughta make a bunch of how to draw books. One for each aspect of characters: Clothing, faces, hair, poses, character placement, scenery…I have a book with all of those in one, but one book for each of those would go so much in depth, and be so helpful

    Anime artists don’t take the time for details, but they do color and h***, they make moving pictures o-o Manga artists draw pretty details that might make you stare (drool) a little longer at a picture. Don’t have a battle of the artists… It’s all about art.

  17. by watching other peoples manga drawings that people mad I get an idea of what I should draw I don’t know why but Mark Crilley just only seems to give ideas. I still won’t unsubscribe him I just might only watch his new videos, its only the people who are above my level they aren’t to high above my level they inspire me to draw more manga, I get this twist in my stomach when I watch them I sorry Mark Crilley it just seems tutorials just seem non-inspiring to me for some reason I’m sorry.

    Well Asian to me, someone who was born in Asia, Asian blood ( 100% ), knows Chinese, Japanese or Korean.I am “Asian”, and its even insulting that you would call it “asian” because even Indians, are Asians yet you distinguish them differently, remember there are multiple types of Asian, meaning that Japanese itself should be on top….

  19. Well, no matter, just practice :) I personally have a notebook that is for drawing only, and i draw regularly at school… My drawings kinda suck compared to all the pros out there, but I still like to do it, and it makes me happy when I finish a drawing… It doesn’t matter if you’re good or not, if you like it, just do it, just by doing it you’ll get better at it :)

  20. I’ve found that Mr. Crilley’s video’s don’t teach me anything… And yet they help me improve immensely. Let me explain. Whenever I watch, I think, “Damn, I wish I was as good as him…” and then by the third or fourth video I’m all “Screw sitting and watching, I’m gonna go practice!” So even though I’m not following the tutorials verbatim, they still inspire me to draw. Thanks, Mark :)
