[littlepoepoe8]

Mark (In Surfer Dude Voice) : Dude! What's up?

Sufer Dude: Dude!

Mark:Dude!

Sufer Dude:Dude!

*Both go back and forth saying the same line for a few minutes later.*

Mark: Dude! You wanna go catch some waves?

Sufer Dude: Poser!

[littlepoepoe8]

This is my first time seeing Mr. Crilley. I always imagined him blonde.

[xjets8]

[Notorone]

Thank you for making this interview with Mark Crilley it helped a lot! :D

[CartoonistKing]

Thumbs up if this helped you a lot. Thumbs up if it didn't.

[CartoonistKing]

[ReyzorF3z]

This helped me in my homework lol

[kawaiikawaiikiwi]

nice! thanks a lot dude!

[FreakShowInMyHouse]

I thought Mark would be a big white fat dude with small circle glasses. I think I should be ashamed to think that now.

[FS3K]

The face behind the voice of all his videos!! :O

[MrRobert6610]

hummm, I need to get good at drawing and get my manga idea out in the world but there is too many distractions like PS3 and PC and everything else like that!!! But I will do it and will become awesome like Mark and Oda (One Piece man)!!!!!

On second note why is a fleshlight in the videos to the right?

[chris200830]

@MrRobert6610 lol, same here. though, i managed to let go of my pc while trying to get better at drawing. actually, in a way, ive replaced my pc with my drawing, and id suggest u do the same, if u want to get better. its time we all get our ideas out in the world :)

[MrRobert6610]

@chris200830 aha since i left that comment i have been drawing every day and slowly replacing computer life with even more Otaku life aha

[glkgamerlol]

why i exited this video:

when i was in third grade, i broke a boys nose. more or less on purpose.

this looks a hell of a lot like his dad.

[Monstermaker97]

Mark himself is one of my top 5 inspirational artists.

[Damilskater1]

MARCK CRILLEY!! *.*



[SakuraXxXIchigo]

Mr. Crilley looks like my English literature teacher XD

[McAwesome247]

SOME1 PLZZZ TELL ME!! the guy said mark crilley had 4 manga series. I no miki falls, brodys ghost, and akiko BUT WHATS THE OTHER ONE??????

[Minipurzz]

@McAwesome247 Billy Clikk - Rogmasher Rampage.. google ftw

[carson01061995]

le gasp. That's what he looks like. I know his hand by heart but I've never seen his face

[coaster2001]

The voice of mark is iconic with the lines and pencil choices!

[Animaleson15]

My influences was not some bigshots or cartoon or comic artist but a girl on youtube whose username is Leadmare, who drew this beautiful horses named Libertad and Sol. Who I feel in love with. And I just felt and urge to draw horses. And so I drew and drew until my doctor sad that I had to stop drawing and let my hand rest! And so I found a website called DeviantART who became my mecca! And there I found a lot of new influences and now I'm wanting to learn as much as I can!

[ComicWorkShop]

I am fun of Death Note too :)

[XxxdeimaxxX]

Mark Crilley inspires me.. Without him, I would most probably SUCK at drawing! Thanks to him, I'm not half bad. Can't wait to buy 'Mastering Manga' ... Keep the video's coming guys! :D

[HerMajestyTheLlama]

Cannot stop re-playing this, brilliant ;)

[BHunter95]

Is it just me or the pictures of him with the different cultures look photoshoped or is it that he stands out o a lot in them.

[epicxrebornXD]

[SuperHappyNotMerry]

[perfectstorm333]

[XxxxxXzainXxxxxX]

They should have censored his face to keep his viewers guessing !!!!!! XD

[TigerSmiley134]

I know, when I draw people always gather around saying "Oh man, you're good!" too. It's funny, but then they'll ask, "Who are you drawing?" I hate that, can't I draw a person and not be asked 'who is it?' *sigh*

[campingdarkstar]

who are my influences? MARK CRILLEY DUH!



[dogbit211]

i always watch back this interview

[The12yearoldartist]

I actually excpected him to have glasses and dark hair... i dunno why... he looks really young!

[Spycocogirl]

[miraculousmosquito]

Very interesting. Great interview, thanks!

[supremefury88]

i did not expect mark crilley to look like that

[ArtaniakaMafi]

@supremefury88

I actually thought he's japanese cause he onces showed a video about places in japan.

But when then I saw a picture of him on his website :P

[bookfangeek]

My inspiration? Wow, that's a toughy

I'd say for the hair tufts on my cats probably silverwoflynight

shoulders of cats Tribbleofdoom

and for humans I developed some on my own but the rest is all manga books (The eyes are Mark though)

[AuratheDark]

[MyMetalFTW]

@TheSims3Help3r That's how its pronounced.

[otakuandproud123]

[TheAcer1981]

4 Dislikes !? mmmm. WTF are they thinking of ?

[PanoAce18]

9:11 MArk what r u doing with MY Baby ??!!

[HowTosYouChoose]

[sarahsarah0923]

[FruitPencil]

my influences are :Masashi Kishimoto and mark crilley!!

[FruitPencil]

happy new year you awsomenesses!!!!!

[nonames364]

one of my influences is a alternate fanmade ending to death notw

[LoneIiest]

Really, I was thinking Mark looked similar to Allen Covert. He's that one guy in a number of Adam Sandler's movies.

[TheKulrai]

Mark Crilley is definitely a big part of my drawing influence. His videos on how to draw have been helping me develop my own style as well as making drawing people easier. I don't really know the names of the other artists that have influenced me though, I've just tried taking different elements from different comic books I see at friends' houses or cartoons I see on TV.

[firehotemily]

for some reason he reminds me of an older version of david archuleta xD

or some other famous person I cannot remember atm

[animeartist304]

ok now i know how he looks! no longer a random voice that is extermly good at drawing, finallly i know what he looks like!!!^-^

[littlecowconspiracy]

I love his books! I read all the Akiko books when I was little and I even did book reports on them when I was 11 and I'm 21 now haha xD I'm so happy to see this interview!

[zyleable]

i cant believe im one of Mark's viewers!! LOOL xD

[MutantMinecraft]

He looks like George Clooney

[Doodle829]

he looks like he has gauze or chewing tobacco in his mouth lol

[nelly9619]

Whats the name of the book and where can you get one?

[nelly9619]

@Nelly9619 i mean were can you get one?

[ThisAwesomeName]

I listen to his videos at night becuz i love his voice XD that make me gay? o.o

[xDranZx]

@ThisAwesomeName  no not at all :)

[lilganstaer]

Mark crilley teach mee chinese and japanese

[justintimers]

I know how it feels for people to go and see your drawing. My friends do that

[Z6D4C4]

@XofX100 He said he is a father and a husband.

[XofX100]

didnt evan say that mark had a father and a HUSBAND he cant be gay

[artistpino]

@XofX100 He sort of misspoke... He said Mark has 4 manga series and a youtube following and all that and a husband and a father. Obviously he meant he is a husband and a father. He was making the point that Mark has soo many things hes doing but also has the time and the huge job of being a husband and a father. Now that doesnt neccessarily mean hes not gay...he could be a husband with a husband and an adopted child...but i doubt it.. he never seemed gay to me.

[BlackRedDragon7]

you're awesome for posting this. No further elaboration needed. XD

[ChokoMurasaki]

I WANT HIS BOOK!!!!!

[ChokoMurasaki]

DEVANT ART RULES!!!! thumbs up if you agree!

[DaysOfRain9109]

Funny how so many people are shocked he isn't just a disembodied hand. I already killed myself and was resurrected over it. Just sayin'.

[siverhawkproductions]

how i draw poses.

step 1: walk to a mirror

step 2: do the pose

step 3: walk back

step 4: draw it

works every time as for hands i just look down at my hand

[supernarutofan12able]

Being an artist it feels awesome to have a crowd of people over you while your drawing and saying "wow" and "i wish i could draw like that" and the teachers be like " you should do something with art, im an manga artist and my biggest hero for manga is Masahi Kishimoto (aka one that made naruto) i only wish that one day i would be as great as him. --------> Nathan

BTW: iv already stated making a manga called ninjasword

[WhAtEvErMoRoNz]

Almost didn't believe it was him until I heard him talk.

He isn't two floating hands.

Reality just punched me in the jaw.

[dada4159]

NO DO NOT USE FACEBOOK, everything you post on facebook will belong to facebook!

OMG he as seen deathnote!!!!!!!!!
