Holy... How can one person have so much talent... I've only been drawing for like a couple of years and they look like trash compared to this. My sketchbook is right in front of me and I'm scared to even try this because I know it won't come out as good

Nope it's NOT boring - it's fantastic to see your technique! :) xxx

re:"Guys, we have new record" --Actually, the longest video I've done is 24 mins 53 seconds: 'Weathered Surfaces: How to Draw & Paint Them.' :)  ~Mark

Sorry for the lack of manga-related videos lately, friends. The next video will involve manga-style drawing, I promise! ~Mark

U are an AMAZING artist. I was just wondering how to maker her mouth look like she is smiling. It is kind of hard to make her look like she's smiling even if I try my best. Thank you!

really inspiring vidio! May I ask about what is the black pencil that you used in the begining of the video?

You see this is what I love. He doesn't just draw anime. Its a mixture of everything. I love an artist who can draw more than one thing.

Shading the human face is an aspect to art I want to get the hang of. It enhances the picture so well! Thank you, Crilley!

THE PENCIL IS YOUR SECRET! Im just kidding! Thanks for this video, my youtube channel art will be great! thank u so much, your a great artist!

Do a vides that talks about the planes of the face ((if you find this comment interesting or like the idea like the comment or he won't see!))

its amazing how even a light tone of shading adds so much depth, thank you, this video is very helpful

I really admire Mark Crilley I find that unlike other manga artists he really goes into depth/trouble into helping and teaching others like us and myself who are at the beginning of drawing and I feel he is one of my inspirations :) I've been drawing for about 3 years now and I hope I continue to learn and improve and with the help of Mark Crilley!! :D thanks

Hi Mark. I've been looking through your videos, but there's a ton, so I thought I would ask instead. Do you have a video on how to take a real person and (draw) turn that person into manga. ... Kind of a reverse vision of this video. I hope you know what I'm asking for. I would like to draw my friend as a manga/cartoon character, and you're so good at explaining what you're doing and what to look after and be careful about, so if you don't have a video like that, I really hope that you'll consider to make one. Thank you. Sara.

I haven't yet found any of your videos boring....I learn a new technique with each one. Thank you so much Mark for your inspirations!

I've been watching your videos for years now, and I'm appreciative of every single one of them, and I feel like I've learnt a lot when it comes to facial features, hair and shading. I've been learning to draw (especially manga style) since I was 12, and I'm coming up to being 17 and in college where I'm taking an Art and Design course. I'm taking a bit of a detour with more realistic drawings, and I think the key to realism is the shading and knowing about light. Thanks for everything Mark :)

Mark your the man, I literally could watch and listen for as long as it takes you to complete your wonderful drawings ... you definitely have a voice for radio 😂😂

Well said. I love these extended videos. They are not boring at all.

Almost 100! Congrats Mark and don't stop now!

watching you create beautiful art is never boring!

This isn't boring at all! In fact, I'd like more of you talking about drawing in real time. I'm learning so much!

There is nothing boring about watching a master at work Mark.

the warmth from your finger helps blend and it just makes the shading look better.

Mark, love your videos. Your a huge help and insperation to anyone who has discovered you! Id having trouble with interiors, living rooms, kitchens etc. If your in the mood, I'm sure it would be a huge help to others as well. thanks for all your good work man!

Amazing Shading Mr. Crilley! In fact, this deserves a new word: SHADEMAZING!

AGAIN!!! YOU AMAZE ME MARK CRILLEY!!!!

man this specific technique of shading saved my drawings. thx mark

at school I draw a self-portrait, the teacher gave us a week of class periods to work on it, so about 4 hours in total. I spent over half of that on the shading and discovered that I love shading. So this video has been very informative and fun to watch. Thank you :)

i dont find the videos boring at all. I think for those who do, then can just froward this video. For those who are serious about realistic drawing, they will watch it and yea you can talk your head off...cos that is how we learn...and that is the aaaah moment for me. I am an artist and always struggle with getting the proportions and shading just right....so these videos are very helpful for me...i actually started back drawing..i have not done that in many years. And thank you for your time.

I don't draw, but it never fails to amaze me at how sure and steady your hand is when you draw. It's fascinating, and it makes me wish that I had the talent that you do?

Beautiful work on this one Mark! Love your vids :)

Congratulations on all your success Mark, you're a great artist and you're perfect for this KZfaq tutorial business! Please continue everything you do!

thank you so much for uploading the videos, this one literally save my life, thank you! Hoping there's more shading videos

it so wonderful to see you bring another amazing face to life, thank you so much for spending as much time as you could showing me this vitally important part of drawing, reading books does not match watching someone do the technique for real and as always im blown away by your expertise and skill. I was taught shading but with lots of pencils, working from light to dark, hard to soft lead, seeing you work with just one is fascinating and inspirational.

the talent is strong with this one. looks awesome. your tips really helped me improve on my art.

This video was veryyy useful it literally brought the drawing to life please do more of these..

Very helpful video. Thanks Mark. And I have preordered Brody's Ghost book 4 and I can't wait.

Grabbing my art case, and heading off to try this!

Mastering Manga just arrived on my doorstep! Yay!

I have watched many videos by you on drawing and especially on Manga drawing. I went to my art store and your book on mastering Manga was there so I bought it. I just want to say thank you for giving me a new outlet to art and making it fun in your videos.

I would totally like to see another shading video. This was great.

Thanks for this... I keep seeing videos where people speed up the shading etc.. Those can make you feel it's easy and quick. I prefer this type of video. Thanks CRILLEYYY

You upload great tutorials sensai. This one looks beautiful

No! It is NOT boring to watch you shade, it's very informative.

Your drawings are beautiful ,and your shading methods so contrasted to my own. I have learned very much from this video, Thank you

Just wanted to say a special thank you. Like every other artist wanna-be I began at a young age with paper and pencil and was a fair artist by about 16 yrs, however over the years the need to earn a living meant that I still wanted very much to do good art but completely lost my "touch" after nearly half century of work as a psychologist without time to practice, but watching you is helping me re-learn all the fine points I'd forgotten when even the high end (and very expensive) software didn't preform like I wanted. So a big thank you for re-introducing me to old friends (paper and pencil) and helping me regain confidence lost after years of working in a media that never preformed as I intended. Sincerely, Gene

I'm a casual watcher but I like hearing you talk about shading and drawing...it's all very artistic to me

A shadowing tutorial would be most appreciated Mark, thanks for awesome work!

Thank you for a sorta real-time shading video. I could never quite grasp how you did that!

Helped me alot with my shading techniques, thanks mark!

Really great mark,i love your videos keep the good work!.

SOOO good. Im glad there was not much time lapse. If you run out of things to say, just tell us stories about you and your art history, part of what makes an artists talent is his past! and I also would love a sketching tools video

NO! NO! I BEG YOU!! IT'S NOT BORING!! I have taken up art over the past 2 1/2 yrs. and I have come to believe that shading is almost the most important realm of becoming a good artist...it is not having any "outlines", only separations of light and dark. But, to accomplish this, we must be able to master shading. So, please....BORE US SOME MORE!! Let those who don't want to watch as you teach this, watch one of your tie lapsed. Thanks SO MUCH, for this gift, of REAL TIME!! KT

You are a fantastic teacher with a great voice

Your videos are always so helpful in my improvement as an artist. Thanks so much.

FINALLY MARK.... some realistic work :D love it

i love watching your videos...I have been drawing for about 16 years and i am still learning so many new ways to do things.

Dude you're awesome to put these tutorials out there. thank you

Wuaaaaa, great! I am new at drawing portrait/faces. I really appreciate your patience...which is what I need. I watched many videos of how to draw faces and yours are the best. Thank you so much. And no, they are not too long. They are "impreted" in my mind and I am going to look at them again and again.

Beautiful and informative! Thank you! I like the geisha idea and the idea of doing separate videos for different areas.

you're not boring at all :))) I really enjoy listening to your voice and you put a smile on face

work of art.go Mark !!!!!.keep up the good work.

I enjoyed this video very much mr. Crilley. You are awesome!

video number 100 has to be EPIC!!! EPIC MARK!

MARK YOU ARE EPIC!!! You have some crazy talent. Oh, and i LOVE brodys ghost!!!! :)

Markcrilley this is not boring at all thank you for the video.

Thank-you for this shading video. It was not boring at all and gave me some really great tips and ideas.

I haven't seen your videos for a while and I gotta admit: I MISS YOUR SOOTHING VOICE WITH WORDS OF GREATNESS!

we missed you mark!!

Your bodies single handedly taught me to draw manga.

Great video man. Really helpful way of understanding shading using the object analogy. From New Zealand

Mark you are ny art hero ad you have been for years. I love you and all my art work is inspired from your videos. Thank you :)

Man, I've looked your videos before and admire your drawing! Now I realise that all videos are yours and I must say that you are master! You have great eye, fingers, imagination, this is perfect, everything is perfect. You make me to back to the days I thought I know to draw, and with your help I think that I could do something with little talent I have. Thank you for all videos, and I'm sorry if my english is not understandable. All compliments :)

My gosh!!! You have so much visual information in your head!!!... Dang!!

Nothing boring about your videos. I love watching how you draw and you are quite entertaining as well😉👍🏻

I don't feel bored with this video...its ok to be slow but I learn a lot...tq for doing this video...i really appreciate it

This is a brilliant video! And you are so talented! Thank you!

Stunning!

Interesting video. I was glad to see that shading should take a while as I have tried to make it happen too quickly. Thanks!

The next one has to be extra extra special, Crilley! It's your 100th how-to-draw video.

YOU ARE JUST FREAKING TALENTED!

The subsection of the subdivision is the greatest word ever

Great job drawing and you make it look so easy

you're very well spoken and quite funny, therefore I find these videos very interesting and never boring. But you're right, I wouldn't have attempted to watch a 50min video as I would have to skip and would be afraid to miss the explanations. it's just perfect the way it is, thank you!

I love this style of drawing!! :) thank u so much for the video it helps a lot

Thank you for making videos like this :) You are an amazing artist, and your videos has helped me become better at drawing :) Again, thank you! And keep up the good work!

That is beautiful.

Ooo! The eyes are so big and beautiful!

marl honestly i am as usual stunned by your work...i really want to reach your level if possible and honestly i really appriciate all of your videos...the realistic ones more since i want to get into realist drawing...this video was amazing..amd i hope you can make more vodeos on shading amd realisting drawing....i am so greatful..thank you so much...!!

you can put a sheet of wax paper under you hand when you're going to touch any pencil marks, it keeps everything from smudging and you can still see what you drew under it

dont worry, you could never be boring! this video was really helpful, thanks!:)

Just the way you said "Kick it into Time Lapse" made me think of the time warp.

this is beautiful

I might be new who start following your tutorials,but i must say that you are one of the best that i have watched so far.Wile i watching your videos i did not get bored at any minute don`t worry about,and i must say as long it is your video that`s better,even if you don`t speak,your hand and your work speak it self. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with rest of us.

Thank you very much. And wow, you kept your promise, how to shade before the 100 th video. Thank you so much

i have read all of the miki falls books. they are really good.

Wow, the lips look like they were pasted in from a photo, so realistic! Beautiful. I learned a lot. Thank you.

you should make a video explaining how certain object are shaded, for example, you could start of with a sphere, then work on a multi-sided object, and objects with pieces protruding or indentations and slightly curved surfaces and clear, transparent objects and explain how the object is shaded, and the shadow it casts.. just simple shapes so that time lapse wouldn't be needed. Love your work Mark, you've helped me so much!

This is a SPECTACULARLY beautiful drawing... There are no words to describe what I feel when I look at it. My God, those lips.

love your tutorials btw

Woooow!! You are SO good at drawing!
