Who else loves his sense of humor? Lol it's like we're all kids and he's the dad telling us a funny bedtime story. Idk 😆😆😇

In order to be a successful manga artist you not only need to be a great drawer but you also need to be a good story teller as well. Mark is a phenomenal example of both in a way I can't explain.

I like videos like this because you don't have to necessarily use if for sleeping , you could use it to make your character look dead or if you draw it standing up and not on the side , it looks like she's floating. Good job as always.

Blushies while sleeping indicates the type of dream she could be having.

You really just showed me how to draw three things: 1. How to flesh out the body after drawing the stick figure correctly. 2. How to draw a bed. 3. How to draw hand details while balled up and open. You wizard!!! You’re amazing and I’m glad I found your channel. You’ve been really helpful!

Solution if you can't draw sh** like me. Draw a blanket and just draw the face. xD I have zero talent

7:58 They're simply called three-quarter length sleeves :)

Extremely good idea to show a full-body pose in such a unconventional way. It really teaches how to draw bodies in different poses. Thank you.

I think Mark should do a "Draw your life" video.

I dont know why but i laughed so hard when you drew the stick figure. It reminds me of something dark

Your videos on using guidelines to draw complex poses are a HUGE help in getting proportions right, and making it look more natural. It's especially helpful if the reference you are using is not for the type of character that you actually want to draw (for instance, using a mattress ad to draw a sleeping child...if you were to just drew what you saw, it would look all wrong). Using guidelines allows you to adjust for your individual character's "characteristics." (Yes, pun intended.)

3-quarter sleeves (as in 3/4 opposed to full sleeves). LOL. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.

Thank goodness... Thought he was gonna forget the blushies... Never forget the blushies, Mark... Never...

Your drawing videos are always a lot more entertaining than others so I don't get bored no matter how long they are.

Excellent video. I'm just starting to draw, I'm currently learning how to keep things in proportion. I tried a few poses before but the minute I take the arm away from the characters side or move the leg in a different direction I risk making them wonky. I guess drawing the stick figure first could prevent allot of that which is something I might have to try. If a person is having a very emotional dream I'm sure a person can blush while sleeping.

Thank you so much for making a video about using guidelines. I'm a beginner and I'm not too prideful to say that I honestly need to use guidelines most of the time. I'm looking forward to more guideline videos.

when i read brody's ghost book 1 that part when Talia says: My hands go straight through everything............ I NEVER REALISED THAT SHE PUT HER HAND THROUGH A BOX FULL OF MIKI FALLS BOOKS

The cuts on the capri pants are usually just on the outside and not on the inside. But that's being nit-pickey and everything looks great since you're not drawing this for a fashion spread. And you make the feet and the hands look so simple. Has encouraged me to get the good drawing pencils out. Thanks again.

I HATE Criticism……it cuts at the heart……like I am an incompetent dumbbell. One never knows if criticism is disguised jealousy or not…….. what is their ulterior motive? You, Mark, have such a good attitude about it………no ego……..

I have been watching you all day and have done 11 drawings so far. You are an amazing drawer . You're really talented

This is awesome Mark! Keep up the good work!

Twinkle twinkle little star Why is art so fucking hard Up above the world so high I can't draw the other eye Twinkle twinkle litt- FUCK Damnit, what the-? I give up 😑

I love your drawing, you make something that's hard look so simple.

That had 1 view when I cliched it,it took 0.5 secs to my phone to load, and it got 287 views. Magicrilley!

lol the sleeping blushies :D

This is a great drawing! The narration was also very clear, and I managed to copy the image decently. Thank you.

Great Awesome Video Mark! Your videos are always awesome!

Your videos rock, I learn so much each time I watch you. Thanks!

OMG FRIDAY IS MY FAVORITE DAY OF WEEK WHY- Last day of the week for school NEW VIDEO FROM MARK CRILLY AND NEW FAIRY TAIL EPISODES :33333

Never Ceases to amaze me. You just have a an eye for perfect proportions.

"Old Man Time Lapse, get back in here" :)

Mark, I absolutely love your videos! You're so humble and such an amazing artist! Thanks so much for making these! :)

Great, lesson Mark again, Thank you!!

I haven't had the chance to read any of your books but I did use to have ur how to draw book b4 it got taken from me ina move, I didn't know it was you who drew it untill I started watching our videos about a week ago I have found your videos very usefull in my manga thank you

It's a "three quarter sleeve" Mark, very comfortable. :) Loving this pose by the way! Another job fantastically done!

you're videos are always really helpful, thanks Mark :D

Yes!!!these types of videos are your best!!! I love this tutorial!thank you Mr.K haha

I love this video! I have been struggling with shading and this helped a lot!

Phew this is hard, but fortunately this video helped a lot

I'm currently Making a Manga and this is such a big help! I'll totally Be liking this vid!

Mark-Thanks for your videos..a great series. When I hear criticism, I consider the topic and not so much how its delivered. If someone takes the time to say something it must mean something to them and it could mean discovering a factor I had not thought of and could even improve future projects.

it's funny how a couple of years ago i was looking at your videos on how to draw, and now I'm coming back to them for inspiration xD! so i guess you can say that your videos inspired me to become the "artist" i am today cx thank you!

Great video! Thanks mark,it was helpful

You should draw an entire drawing like this but teaching all the aspects (like the facial features, clothes and fingers). Then when you'd upload them make them a series so whenever you come across with a place or feature that doesn't relate to the video's topic you'd have a link for a different video explaining the making of for example hands. Then we'd have an entire teaching experience of one particular drawing with all the aspects. I hope you understood and I am aware of the fact that you'd already done how to videos about hands and ears and so on but this was just an idea or a suggestion. Loving these videos Mark ! You're an absolute dream teacher ! I don't want to exaggerate but you really have lighten the spark within me to draw again. I haven't been drawing much for years but now I have gain maybe too much inspiration, haha. Thank you a lot !

Nice video Mark, have been a fan and subscriber for quite a long time. The folds on clothing always trip me up when doing character illustrations though. Thanks for the helpful tutorials and entertaining commentary!

Just purchased "Mastering Manga 2" and I am loving it!! I have immensely improved! thanks mark :D!!!

Amazing work!

Hey Mark! I have an idea for a video. Maybe you could do a blindfold drawing challenge?

I have been watching your videos ever since they started and it has really helped with my drawing and the way I draw. These videos are really helpful thankyou x

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time😊

Throughout all the time (I believe longer than a year?) Of watching your videos, reading your books, and seeing your fan base grow so much, I am always supprized to see you respond to your fans.

I just read the entire Miki Falls series... I love it so much! I love your art ❤

They actually got your books on a norwegian/swedish online store now, so I bought your Mastering Manga books as soon as I noticed :) They've helped me so much when it comes to improving my style and how I draw now! :D Thank you so much for all the great tips, both in your videos and your books :)

Good afternoon. Yesterday I drew along with this video but I made the character one of my male OCs. It came out very well and I feel is one of my best drawings. Your instructions were great and helped me do a pose/angle that would have otherwise been difficult and near impossible. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm gonna try to follow along with some of your other videos for my OCs. 😊

This felt like a less focused topic perhaps? But I really liked it because we could follow you from the conception of the drawing and you talked us through the various stages (composition, proportions, hair, big toes first and slightly turned up, etc). Thanks as always Mark you’re awesome 👍🏼

Even though i reckon i can learn most if not all of it from your videos i'll be buying your manga drawing books asap

Three quarter sleeves ! :) great tutorials by the way

Wow this is amazing! I have been dying for a good pose tutorial! You never fail to impress me Mark Crilley :)

You really are a great help thanks for teaching me how to draw better!

I love your books btw

Thank you for this. Really helped a lot.

To be honest mark I like the long explanations it helps me understand more, though I'm not sure others feel the same, but great video :)

Will you make a Mastering Manga 3? If so will it feature more complex poses?

I find your videos very entertaining. I catch myself laughing at various points thanks for putting up these videos and teaching us with such a light vibe :))))))

Thank always for teaching us

Great vid love her she is awesome needing this for a sport injury image so I just made her into a ballerina loving you vids and who reads this give a great big thumbs up

Thank you for the tips it really helped

This was amazing!

You make it look so easy..

Always learn new drawing methods in your videos great video :D

It's a three quarter sleeve :) You also gave her a "boat neck" neckline on her top. You'll be a fashion designer yet, Mark!

Hey Mark, fantastic video just like always, I also hope that in the future you can tell us in a video on how you figure out the guidelines and where to put them for them to be effective, I just give up on them in my own drawings and just end up guessing the placement of stuff.

Thank you so much mark! this really helped! I'm so glad you make such awesome videos! never stop! :D

when I follow you tutorials I do so well with drawing !!!

Can we wake a deal shinigami's eyes style? Half of my lifetime for ur drawing skills, how 'bout that?

your channel is helping me so much omg

Thank you Mark. I'm a better artist after every video! Mastering Manga helps tremendously, as well.

Thank you for another amazing video Mark! n_n

just amazing mark great video

Thank you that was such a great video

Amazing Video!! It was super helpful! This will be great for a drawing I was working on! ^-^

I love it it looks ok

I love mark's videos and always have, his art is brilliant, but I kind of feel that because his drawing are so "correct" (like how he hardly ever needs to erase), they can also be quite stiff, it is usually only when he does pose drawing such as this one though. Not hating, just trying to give constructive criticism.

I have a book that you wrote on manga, and I’ve read it so many times. I didn’t realize it was you on the video, and now I finally know how you sound! 😂

Thank you M. Crilley You are the best

During the end of the video when mark started to shade even more I was like dude you won its over end the vid!

You really help me how to drow poses

Lol adding the blushies, you can't end a video without the blushies~

When you first drew the base stick figure I thought it looked like a dead person (fell off a building) xD Wow I'm horrible

i just bought a second copy of your book!!

Hi Mark! I'm a new subscriber. I received some new sketchbooks for Christmas and dedicated one of them to just be for practicing drawing people. I've been drawing along with you lately and have really enjoyed your videos. The number one thing I've learned about you from this video is how "adorkable" you are. Lol :) Love your videos, you're very talented and you teach very well :)
