Twinkle twinkle little star Why is art so freakin' hard Up above the world so high I can't draw the other eye

2:45 my drawing skills

i have improved my skills very much from last months because of this guy

I love how your not too serious and takes it cool and even joke, keep being you!

I have not drawn in exactly 3 years and I have forgotten your existence. You've motivated me before, with your tutorial about drawing clothing and the thing you said in the end, somewhere the lines of "If someone said, You can't do it, tell them Mark Crilley said you can!" Man I've missed you. Thank you so much.

I was drawing it perfectly up to the hands, then my mum walks in my room, glances at everything I'm drawing, asks something pointless and ruins my workflow :/ idk why but I hate showing others my drawings

I have issues with drawing lightly and details, i overdo it on the details and struggle with dark, uneraseable lines. This really did help, thank you. :D

I was watching a lot of your videos and not commenting would be dishonest: thank you very much for your videos, they're of great help. The way you indicate how the muscle is constructed in this particular video is a time saving for learning body proportions. Thanks again !

What a great starting point for anyone who, like myself, wants to draw a basic body! And the narration is done perfectly-I feel like you're talking directly to me :)

I love your style Mr Crilley, always so humble even when you are teaching things you are expert about. Thank you for all the content you are making available on the channel.

Love, love, love this simplified video. So much easier to understand and figure out then so many others I've watched.

Yet another amazing and helpful video, this will be extremely useful! I especially appreciate you including the basic stick figure, as that is how I usually frame up all of my poses :)

Hey Mark! I love your art, I learned how to draw anime and such from your vids and I appreciate that you're taking the time to make these. I've learned so much, and because of you, I've improved so much! I'm now working on portraits and they look realistic. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much mark crilley! 😵 You have no idea how much I needed this video. This helped me a lot!!! Again, THANK CHUS

OMG I needed this video i'm terrible at drawing the male body!!!

FWIW I really like your longer videos! I don't have an artistic bone in my body, and learning how talented artists break their art up into little steps is really cool to learn!

Thank God for this guy! and all the other artists that share their knowledge.

i tried drawing soldiers in a war scene the soldiers did end up looking like they've been through war with all of those missing parts and disproportunate arms and shit

Sup Mark. Gave the thumbs up. Learn a few things with this video. I want to congratulate you for the "balls". Even though you knew at some points that you weren't accurate still you showed us the reallity. Specially on the feet section (both hands and feets I find them devilishly hard to draw) you totally were aware that they're a bit off but never the less you kept it on. So straight "A" for the courage and reallity check (at least i felt it). Thank you so so much.

You know what mate, I have gotten used to cartoonish art, and realised i need to learn how to do basic bodies. You helped a load with that. Thanks.

Thank you, this is honestly the best male body tutorial on YT.

I like how clearly and slowly he talks really helpful

I really could use help drawing muscular women. One of my characters is a very buff young lady and I always draw her looking too much like a man with breast implants lol

it's amazing how simple it seems to draw everything bit by bit but the big picture looks amazing. Thanks a ton for the vid. Amazing source for reference

Very helpful to me. The 7 1/2 heads is so true. Everything you talked about great!

this helped me because i suck at drawing hands,the arm muscles and the leg muscles. keep up the good work!

Thank you very much for the tip on the shoulder width. I appreciate it.

MY MAN U JUST EARNED A SUBSCRIBER THIS HELPED SO MUCH AND I LIKED AND TURNED ON POST Notifications!!

Just found this video and I’m sure it won’t be the only time I watch it. This was so helpful thanks a lot ☺️🙏

This has been a really nice video. Very informative. Thank you markcrilley.

Thank you sooo much for this video, when I read it, I know it will help me a lot, the time lapse one was really good too.

One of the best on KZfaq!.

Woah mark, been a while since i watched a video of yours, but god damn you're still as amazing a drawer as ever! hopefully with enough practice i can become at least half the artist you are :) Keep up the great work!

Amazing!! I really love your art style...

Very helpful, thanks Mark!

I love watching your videos. You're such a good teacher and you sound like a kind human being. Thank you and God bless.🙂

It was very helpful Mark,thanks!

Well Mark, i'm glad you asked, and yes, you are right. Depending on how much you train the chest muscles it will more or less push the nipples downward. However, if you train the lower chest more, it will push them up. It also has to do with just the genectics and muscle formation of the person. Im into bodybuilding and drawing so this video was really great, Thanks! Love and support from your buddies up here in Canada, keep inspiring! ✋🏽

Well worth the thirty minutes. Thanks!

This video was very, very informative, Mark. So much goodness in a single swoop -- good references and excellent, excellent commentary. I have to tell you, I got caught red handed, openly chuckling at the Arnold impersonation as well as the bit about the six pack. These videos are always a treat, Mark. Thanks so much.

Mark you are awesome. Been seeing your video since day 1. I love your novel Brody's Ghost. Those illustrations are fantastic. Keep doing video and be the greatest youtube art teacher.

Mark, your tutorials are always entertaining AND educational! THANK-YOU!

absolutely fantasist video, as always i learned so much.

you are an amazing artist. I am only in middle school and I learned a lot from your videos! I watch this channel more than any other art channel

These are really awesome!

BRO I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO MAKE POSES WITHOUT THIS VID!

I had no idea how to draw the male body, this was so helpful!

Your videos are great. It seems like almost all how-to-draw channels all focus on the "riskier" elements (because thats what gets the views) of art and it's hard to try to learn drawing while staying away from that. Great video as always :) Thanks ~Me

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

I'm in art school and this actually really helps when doing turnarounds for characters.

You are a very good instructor, thank you.

excellent ! Thank you. Very helpful.

Thank you for the many drawing lessons you give for free. They are fantastic. It's a pity that not a single book has yet been published in Dutch. I wish you good luck.

You are an inspiration and I have learned everything I know from you.

SOOO HELPFUL!!! Thanks Mark!!!

Awesome! Thx u for the video!

Thank you very much!Your lessons is awesome!

Thank you so much for this it helped me! Nice job!!

I actually have one of your books. mastering manga. my uncle got it for me for Christmas one or two years ago. I knew you had a KZfaq channel but my friend got me to get on here. it's wonderful. I needed this because I stink at drawing males.

Nice work man well done thanks you

Perhaps I should start using this line method. Great vid, Mark! I didn't know you had books published.

You are such an inspiration!! Keep on creatin!

I love all of your videos! My main character is going to be built for running and will have bigger arms and more slender legs, comparable to the runner Trey Hardee. You're helping me draw from my mind and experience instead of being useless without a real life reference, so thank you very much!

This Helped me a lot.Thanks! :)

Really nice video! Thank you

Very good! thank u!

oh you're married awwwww!

Thx for so cool and simple tutorial.

Nice job ! thanks for all information ^^

Great vid💕

few tips when looking for reference material for very fit characters (though this tutorial is from over a year ago). If you're looking for the herculean style build when making a more superman type character (or someone with that type of build) you'd be better looking for a "classic physique" bodybuilder, or a bodybuilder from maybe 15+ years ago for example Frank Zane or even a younger Arnold Schwarzenegger (man looked like an Austrian Superman when he was around 16). Current bodybuilders competing for Mr. Olympia would share a physique closer to that of The Incredible Hulk, but the Classic Physique competition has builds similar to that of a stronger superhero type. Another thing to keep in mind, is that what you see on stage and in most pictures of bodybuilders is what they look like while dehydrated while also have a very low bodyfat %, a competition build wouldn't be practical for someone fighting crime. So you may want to look for pictures of your reference during the off season or look at athletes like swimmers, football players, etc. tl;dr "Mr. Olympia = Hulk physique, Classic Physique = Superman/Greek legend, highly visible muscles = not hydrated/hungry"

I got both of your books tooo!! its soooooo good.

loved this tutorial it was really helpful

Omg thank you this weekend I am going to chapters THANKYOU so much

i just like to listen to these tutorials while i draw because i find your voice so calming ^~^ it helps, surprisingly.

I love your commentary ❤️

"the photos I look at" ~ mark krilley

Great video. Thank you.

Thanx : I had a school project and I had no idea on how to draw so thank u so much

LOLed in Pump Iron xD This video is really good!

so helpful. thank you! 😊

It's beautiful !!

Totally agree with you when it comes to drawing feet, especially when the persons facing you

Thanks so much for all of the help Mark! My only request is a body profile, that would do me wonders. :)

From what I can remember when I tested this out. 7 heads tall equates to about 5'10 which is the average height of an American male. But cartoons (anime, comics, ect) tend to have large heads in proportion to the body and if you are used to looking at them a realistically drawn male head tends to look tiny. The width of the shoulders when facing forward on a real human male is about 3 heads, its rare to see this in cartoons. That said, I have notice that American superhero comics will often make the head on the smaller side if they want to character to look buff...broader shoulders gives that effect.

i love this it's more intuitive i don't love too technical stuff

This is a great reference video. It is a great pose to use for character and costume design. I like the way this character was charted. Less lines to worry about than with the heads heigh method. I will try this method out for sure.

You are a amazing artist!!!

Thank you for the help

Nice video. I will draw this later.

nice work Mark! can you draw a really large character? I would be curious to see your style :)

your books are in my library and people love them including me

Thank you sir !

thanks dude, I followed your toturial and my oc looked even better now. though, I made the neck a bit to long

nice, thank you

I feel very educated. Thank you good sir.

I got myself into trouble by give myself a lot of practice drawing heads and faces to the upper body, but never the lower body, so now I'm trying to learn to balance out the quality of my art 😅 I've barely ever drawn a full figure before, so this will help a lot. 5 years late, but thank you for the tutorial!

just WOW!!

The more I watch Mark's videos the more I realise that I'm not great at drawing, I'm just adept at following instructions! :P

Every since I picked up my first crayon I always wanted to draw properly. But after years of trying I just couldn't do it on paper. Recently I found out I can draw a lot better using computer software but I had no idea how to draw characters for my writing. This is the first video of yours I've seen and it has helped me so much. I've went from stick figured to decent looking drawings of my characters and I would like to say thanks for all the help your videos gave me :D.
