Just buy a book called "How to draw manga" on Nook, Kindle, or ebook. It taught me how to in less that 2 week's. I sucked at drawing circle's, but it taught me practices, how to lossen up my rist, and now i'm drawing manga. AND I USED TO SUCK!

[magg33]

my girl looks anorexic :(

[xDutchZomBieHD]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Why is this so fuckin hard!

[WhitneyWombat]

Could you please create a video on the shading? Perhaps explaining the way to shade depending on the direction the person/thing is facing and how dark or light you need to shade in areas? What you do is WAY too hard for me because I literally CAN'T DRAW, but I would really appreciate it if you could do the shading video, if you haven't already of course! Thanks!

[pookys129]

thumbs up if you failed on the oval part and gave up(:

[CupCakesTakesOver]

8:55 And I'm done with the head!

[lenleee1]

The making of hentai - documentrary is very interesting

[lenleee1]

Its interesting to see how manga is drawn and hentai. Hentai is becoming an art form that many manga artist are converting over. I watched the making of hentai and relized that hentai is an art not a porn. watch the trailer or download the documentary if you dont see it as i do or look at forms.

[TheFlyingFlea1]

Death Note! Death Note! Anyway, I drew this a while back, but I forgot where i put the picture. I think I threw it away. But this video is actually helpful.

[MsAgus096]

[TiagoSilvaSantosMigu]

Je te remercie je t'adore je vais te commander ton livre je suis mtn un moyen dessinateur <3

[wawis231]

[Artisiticdreamer]

Mr. Crilley

But wait how to we draw a manga face dead on.

[Ficko4]

@Artisiticdreamer

That's a good/hard one,don't mention that please,i can barely draw/copy this from Mark :D,Don't steal my dreams >.< :3

[smileyface12363]

Thanks sooo so so soooo much! I NEVER thought i would be able to draw it and make it come out GOOD! Although i made a few minor changes to it... I made it look like the girl wasnt flat chested, was wearing a long sleeved shirt, and i shaded in pencil just like you did but i went over in pro colored pencils lightly to give it that colored tint. The hair was tinted blonde (like mine) the eyes tinted green, the skin was very light peach, the bow was pink and the shirt was purple. I also shaded wit

[jordanstepo]

Its hard to rub out guid lines when I PUSH TO HARD WITH THE PENCIL.......AHHHHHHH!!!!!

[baconator3002]

I've noticed that you usually draw with people looking off to the side in your tutorials, but I kind of need to do it straight. I'm a big fan, so can you please make some videos with them facing forward. Thx. :)

[wolfgirl2718]

For months ive been trying to draw actual magna/anime, beleive me it is hard. But then i looked at his videos and i completely understood what to do. Now my friends want my advice, and i told them to check mark out. Spreading the word for you mark ;)

[CaliiAbbyShip]

it looked really easy, but once i got a pencil and paper i couldnt even draw the chin right, it was wither too pointy or too small... my eyes look horrible....good job, i just need more practice

[GamerCherri]

This was extremely helpful

[Ficko4]

@GamerCherri

Extremely? Don't insult it :D

I never knew how to draw..I didn't know anything..I couldn't draw a chair that looks normal..This..Well..I can't say my drawing of this is perfect..But i can say that 100% and i do mean 100% this is the best 1 i have EVER drawn..All my other drawings (I never draw..I used to hate it,but anime and manga inspired me,so,i only drew during art classes :D,ok,and..Of all my drawings i have the same name for each of em..In the most polite name,it's "ugh".cont

[Ficko4]

@GamerCherri

by cont i meant continued,but i didn't have enough space :3

And..Well..That's kind of it,actually..I wanted to thank the person who gave us his time and show us how to do this..I literally couldn't have done it with out you Mark.and for that - Thank You.

[bluefire325]

[RedBlueQuinn]

Hi Mark :) Thanks so much for these video's, they've really helped me with my drawing. As you said in the video, would it be possible to make another one like this, but in the Death-Note kind of style? And also, I really enjoyed watching the Miki tour of Japan, whereabouts are you in the getting started comic on DA? Thanks so much!

~Quinn

[TrotsofFox]

CHIHIRO!!!!!

[fuelofmil0]

I'm not gonna try this, because I know if I try, I won't ever try to draw again xD

[mtvjackasdswii]

317 people couldn't draw the circle which really was an oval

[Luvzap654]

i've always been kinda good at drawing but you've made me better! thank you so much!!

[LOVER81965]

KEWL



[MissYogaKitty]

What if you cant draw a circle...?

[coolgal995]

omg i am 13 nd u have helped me so much ! its amazing ! message me if u wanna see it

[HelpingHandGal]

Hey Mark! Just wondering.....if you could make and probably sell how to draw manga manual with your style. Your step by step instructions are easier to follow for me. Just wondering here....

[IronmonkeyXD]

What pencil??? HB is too sharp

[driftking370z]

Teach us how to draw H.O.T.D

[aRxMGigi]

all the people saying, why is he better at drawing... maybe practice more?

[morzdgreat]

I can't even do a circle like that! will cut off my fingers!!!

[DanAllenYeomans]

I've seen your realistic head video, and your cartoony head video, but it feels to me like there's a sort of "half-way point" between that's more common (i.e. anime like melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, neon genesis evangelion, clannad, etc.) - i was wondering if you might be willing to make a tutorial on that kind of art style, simply because it's extremely commonplace in anime and manga (the characters in your "how to draw manga hair, 4 different ways" are pretty close to that i would say)

[Marytopstar]

My first manga (like a year ago) was a real succes thanks to you mark! I just had to say: thank you!

[Luciffrit]

Ears are generally from the corner of the eye to the bottom of the nose but since this isn't completely anatomically correct eh.

[Leihkapahana]

These vids aren't boring at all!!! IM actually inspired by you!

[JBlivetoparty]

OHMYGOD. MINE LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME.

And, this is my first time drawing manga. I LOVE YOU OMG I'M GONNA EXPLODE.

[ATwoTailedFox]

(Just out of curiosity) how many people here draw and write with their left hand? Thumbs up if you do! (I am a lefty btw)

[crzy4jacobblack]

@ATwoTailedFox I DO!!

[ATwoTailedFox]

@crzy4jacobblack Glad that someone else besides me does :)

[ukhd90]

these videos are not boreing. Im like in a comation kind of with this guy in my class about whos the better drawer and now this made me better! :D

[agraffy]

I've only started your videos today, in fact I only wanted to see a few one but I just can't stop watching. I am a pure amateur but I feel like I can come up with some good results if I follow your instructions and practice on my own. Once agan thank you for the vids !

[AshEvo4]

Just noticed this and I have to say, I love the simplicity of your explanations. I've been drawing for years and, as an avid japanese drawing style/ manga fan, I want my 2 young boys (aged 5&6) to learn. They are so into their drawing but I was finding it difficult to show them in a simplistic manner. Your vids are just the thing. Brilliant: Now I'll have a look at some of your stuff and, all being well, shall make a purchase. Keep up the great work buddy.

[JedGleeks]

mine looks exactly the same thank you

[DollyDayDreamer2002]

Wow you are amazing I make manga vids too but mine are amateur compared to yours DO MORE VIDEOS I NEED TO STARE AT YOUR DRAWINGS!!!!!!!!!

[Kingsoda55]

what type of black pencil is that?

[bikechris13]

god i suck lol



[IkerCasillas7910]

these videos being boring?? these videos are great! :D

[TheFallenangel150]

This video is actually amazing! it basically taught me how to draw manga thankyou so much!!

[gapi200]

This very video is what taught me the basics of manga drawing... Thank You :)
