Inking Tutorial: Roughs to Finals ("Brody's Ghost")

[ilabupooh]

how can you draw and explain things while drawing? you have a very good concentration in doing both! you're so good mark. i look up high on you

[amberquiet]

@xCARSARESEXY dude.... If your SOO sick of him (you are like the only one) then why the hell do you watch his videos?

[peacock13579]

@xCARSARESEXY

What the hell. Why would you dis this amazing guy he is so talented! If you have a problem with his voice then stop watching his videos retard, and if you think he can't draw you are implying that you are a better drawer than him, which I highly doubt because when you become an artist of his level (or higher) you don't bag out fellow artists work you offer them guidance or support them. Clearly you are just a lonely fag who can't even draw stick figures. PROVE ME WRONG!!

[navaldisaster]

I have 2 classmates whose names are Brody! XD They're really nice friends.

[platinummable]

Can you do a video of inking with dip pens ^__^

[eunnie527]

Oh man, oh man, So pretty!!! I hope I can draw like you some day. <3 Thx for all your "how to draw" vdos, Mark Crilley!

[derD3pp1]

The style is very nice as usual but the lines are a little thick. I use a G-Pen end can vary the thickness very easy with it :)

[MrOmniblast]

I have those same pens!

[koffeekage]

those markers are awesome, they go from 08-005. the there are different styles too.

[Gureishia]

i really love your artwork so i'm going to order the books soon. the only thing that kinda bothers me is that you open the book "western style". for me manga books just have to be opened "the wrong way round" .. is there anybody else who thinks the same or is it just me? XD

[HIbleda]

Don't mangakas use those fountain pens? The G pens Kabura pens and whatsoever? Well... that's only my knowledge gained from Bakuman =.=

[branivere]

Mark, how are you doing Talia in gray for the final? Do you alter her in Photoshop after you've inked?

[avivkm]

How can I buy your books in Israel ? Plssssss !! :D

[mysteryman3666]

@avivkm well, you could order it from Amazon.

[theocarinadude]

my name's Brody... like a BOSS

[JeySivaNavam]

great vid marks but every vid ive seen a book flyz up to ur face out of no where

[tomboysam333]

im just asking why dont you make an anime or a show based on the books you've done?

[AshEvo4]

Just noticed, in your slide show, at 6.59, the expression changed from "anguish" to more "disbelief". Do you also "ad lib" as you progress, deciding what may suit the narrative better? I understand that nothing is set in concrete until it's finalised. Just tryingto understand your methods. :)

[devilbabyhanrahan]

@xCARSARESEXY .... Dude, I'm Sick Of Seeing Your Hateful Comments On Mark Crilley's Videos. I Really Would Enjoy Seeing You Try To Amount To As Much Talent As This Guy Has. He Went To An Art School, Got Taught By The Best, So Yeah. He Can Draw. Please Refrain From Commenting If You Don't Enjoy His Work. I For One Think He's Amazing. Mark Crilley = Win ! :) Kfanxbai~

[xCARSARESEXY]

@devilbabyhanrahan Why Don't You And 10 Other People Shut The Fuck Up? This guy is a total failure!!!!!!!! His drawings look like my dog's shit!

[sonicman0123456789]

@xCARSARESEXY Harsh yo. He's just trying to teach people who atcually wanna know this stuff. Why not go and hate on some terrorist videos or something? We're here to enjoy and learn.

[xCARSARESEXY]

@sonicman0123456789 shut up!!!

[sonicman0123456789]

@xCARSARESEXY Not necessary but no, I'm not doing that. Calm down man, it's really not that deep. You got a problem? Be the bigger man and go away. There's no reason to be dissing people the way how you're doing now. Grow up.

[MDthornton83]

Wow. Very impressive work. You've got awesome drawing and inking skills! You'll definitely go places!

[xCARSARESEXY]

Why does this guy think he can draw? he can't!!!!!! i'm so sick of him!

[JagW123]

@xCARSARESEXY Lol and I suppose you have proof as to how much better at drawing you are than him. Didn't think so. No matter what you say there's no doubt that Mark's got serious talent and as of now there's no evidence that you have any drawing talent whatsoever so go troll somewhere else. Thanks :)

[Candyrock15]

@xCARSARESEXY Dear asshole...

I hope you FUCKING burn in hell.

Go and die. ^.^

[jpceragon]

@Candyrock15 what did he say?



[111alien111]

@xCARSARESEXY

shut up yes he can and he can draw lots better than you.

[ppgope]

@xCARSARESEXY o and u think u can do better !? ID F*CKING KICK UR A** IN A CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!

[VampireBunny14]

@ppgope lets see it, bitch!

[VampireBunny14]

@xCARSARESEXY ooooh, bitch.....

[xCARSARESEXY]

@VampireBunny14 Shut up....

[nataliaarai]

wow, that's pretty *-* btw, what kind of paper are you using?

[JagW123]

@nataliaarai says on his channel page

[GalaxyPegasis]

can you make an action manga?!!!

[ertxz18]

Great tutorial! I just wish my hand would stop shaking so much when drawing long lines, I still need to practice a bit more on how to use my pens :D Thanks for the tutorial though, it helped me a lot!

[KidPrussia]

Do you have a video about drawing manga/anime faces in this view? Like, 3/4 view, sort of. If not, could you make one?

[manga7248]

do you know if the dark horse comics sell in sweden?

[ChosenOfDarkness1]

thumb this up if you searched in your brody's ghost book to find the image

[TheChrizzie]

do you normaly get people to do the inking for you? because when im drawing i fined it dificult to do it but its becoming easyer but i dont really want someone to do the inking for me because then i feel like its not all my efort?

[coolgirl2400]

omg omg omg that is sooooooooooooooooo PRETTY

your so taled

[sugarrushone]

How do you get the art onto photoshop? Do you scan it, or is there some other more effective way to do that that I don't know about? How big are your original drawings compared to the size they become in the book? Just curious.

[axezeft123]

hey man can you do a fully armored Knight, or angel, im having a hard time drawing armour and wings, hehe

[dustnut1]

book 2, page 32. ;)

[Shan23Studios]

Great Tutorial Mike - Happy Nu yer

[511mohammad]

@Shan23Studios who is mike??

[SuperGamingartist]

I know where that panel goes!!!

[Collibudz]

@SuperGamingartist where

[SuperGamingartist]

@Collibudz in book 2 It is very easy to find.

[KilerKlownFromSpace]

What is a copic? =/

[Kimchan1011]

@KilerKlownFromSpace it's called a copic marker they are professional markers that aren't water based they are refillable which makes them eco-friendly, they blend very easily, they have a wide variety of colors and are very expensive, if you just look up copic marker drawings you'll see some really good examples.

[Sariface18]

@Kimchan1011 the answer he was looking for is "yes, that is indeed a copic"

[LTCJ2006]

@KilerKlownFromSpace It is a pretty expensive marker brand. :-)

[teamgamerful]

Awsome :D

[armirceadan]

Garage Band Music, Right? :D

[brickedandshot]

Do your hands tremble when you ink? Dx Mine do. And quite violently.

[Badriel18]

2 words ART COMPETITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheJesseWhoLikesKH]

your art work is amaing, instead of using felt tips have you ever thought of using a G-pen to do the inking

[LilDeadKitty]

your art style is so different in your published work than it is in most of your "how to" tutorials

[fantasticaRAGAZZA]

nn ci ho capito un tubo ma va bene

[alabalacr2]

how is this a "how to?"?

It had some great tips but it wasn't much of a tutorial .-.

[thegallopracerfan1]

Your an amazing artist, and i have three of those Micron markers, all 0.3 mm tips, and you have inspired me to create a unique style for myself! And i thank you for it!

[TheAlsmoke]

greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina !!!! Love your work !!!

[OGYOSHI0007]

can you do a photoshop video? you can record your screen using camtasia. :)

[HereIsZoee]

I'm going to get Brody's Ghost this christmas. I don't really like manga, but I love Mark's illustrations, so I'll trust him on this one.

[Akatsukiwaruto]

I bought brody's ghost yesterday. only 6$

[DammitPikachu]

i have a few of those pens. theyre expensive but AMAZING

[ThePikachugirl16]

@audiotrax2000 really you just ink and erase

[legomybutt]

@audiotrax2000 are you fucking stupid?

[marcobm97]

does stadler pigment liner is a good fineliner? 

[94syamim]

can you please tell me how to make those gray colour, i'm kind of in the middle of making a comic but i'mhaving a hard time to inking it.

[Xc31]

@94syamim as he said, he did the graying on the inked drawings with photoshop.

[MangaSaiko]

manga inking video on my channel go check it out (-_-)d

[legitimatebitch]

@trevorguy63

i can see why no one does :/

[trevorguy63]

this is the first time mark has not ended the video with "i'll be back with another one. real soon. " i guess thats coz this video is gonna be on dark horse's blog. PLEASE THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT !!! NO ONE HAS EVER LIKED MY COMMENTS BEFORE :(

[LTCJ2006]

Can you do something with Copics? :-D

[discolemonade719]

@LTCJ2006 Mark is too cool to fall for a trend like copics

[LTCJ2006]

@discolemonade719 Ohhhhh, okay. Sorry. I didn't know... :-/

[MsDarkside55]

yay broodys ghost is awsome!!!!

[rabbidsquirrel187]

This is awesome; ever try inking with a g pen? Id like to see your take on that.

[GOStardreams]

I never really could ink very well with pens. Nowadays I end up sketching and inking both with a tablet. Still, it's videos like these that get me to give inking another shot from time to time.

[MotherPunker970]

...wait,i just realised something!

dark horse???

like,the ones that published mark hamills comic book???the black pearl???

[BigMan3445]

Mr.Crilley I just bought Brody's Ghost Vol.1 today at my book fair and i must say that this graphic novel is beyond anything epic that I have ever seen!!!

[ivenprincess]

Hey Mark I have a question about Brody and Talia, peaze tell me they kiss in one of the books. I'm going to by your books this Christmas and Can't wait to read the Brody's Ghost series!

Peaze leave video resonse.

[HarryNguyenify2503]

[TomoyoX3511]

cool i wish i could draw like u



[WittleKittyCat]

They're selling Brody's Ghost in the book fair at my school and I'm really excited to read it!!

[kikz786]

ok this an " inking tutorial " but he skipped all the inking part! I still loveyou Mark

[AnimeLuver4778]

photoshop tutorial plzzz mark!!! :DDD

awesome vid!! ehm lol all kinda all ur vids are awesome!;)

[JBFAN34565]

can you do a werewolf?

[bunnywarrior1342]

i use unipin

[chezcakekitteh]

Omg My friend was reading brodys ghost :)

[shreddedbeats]

How come you prefer to use traditional pencils rather than mechanical?...Most professional I see use mechanical because theres no sharpening required...

[StraightOutaPortland]

@shreddedbeats Most likely because traditional pencil lead writes lighter and is easier to erase.

[VocaloidEpicness]

I need a Photoshop Tutorial!!!!!

[XxAngelzRockxX]

Can you start doing manga/anime animals?

[audiotrax2000]

How do you keep the loose pencil lines from showing through the ink?

[rawrchu101]

@audiotrax2000 you ink over it then erase the pencil ! or, at least, thats what i do. :D

[audiotrax2000]

@rawrchu101: Interesting. Is that how it's usually done, or is it some kind of PhotoShop clean up thing? I've always wondered about this.

[RolliMyster]

@audiotrax2000 I am pretty sure that you usally ink it and then erase the pencil marks. That is what is done a lot. You probably could use photo shop, but that would take a lot more effort. :)

[UnknownAngeI]

Mark should so totally make a drawing tutorial book or something, I'll definately grab one if it exists! :P

[mickykitty88]

@UnknownAngeI yes one does exist he was talkingabout it in an interview once

[UnknownAngeI]

@mickykitty88 What?? Really? O_O" Damnn, I never knew... Thanks!

[BonkersTheBear]

The musics pretty funky man

[sondapedavena]

wonderful!

look at my works in my youtube's page.. 

[RiverMirror]

What are comic book pencils? And where can I get some?

[BlackHeavenSymphony]

@RiverMirror Just a fancy term for pencils with different lead grades. You can buy them in from an art supplies store!

[RiverMirror]

@BlackHeavenSymphony Thanks this helps a lot!!!

[yardi1994]

[Foxfang27]

[misiek12z]

I really love your work.....i appreciate that u're sharing some hints with us :)

[FluffMachien]

[MsTruepain]

Hello Mark, can you make a book of how to draw manga/anime, I'll be grateful if you do. Thank you!

[Aceinspadessuit]

I really wanna know if its okay to use a sharpie lol

[Bl4zeCinema]

[GaaraGirl004]

Oh dats so awesome I love the way u did da backgrounds and such in da slide X3

[Deadly088x]

Los ojos no son ojos de anime, parecen ojos de anime pero les falta la pasión.

[mospip]

Brody doesn't look like a loser

How could u say something like that

Still a really good video though:)

[AnimeGalaxyTutorials]

I just have to say this bt Talia is so fuckin HOT........im really sorry bt look at the bosy nd chest...

[ceilingcatlover1331]

You are like, the anime/manga god! (excuse my randomness, but it's true). You have really helped me with my drawing over the past year or so, soo thanks for all your help!!

P.S. I use the same inking pens as you :3

[X619mysterio]

[lemonyellow357]

[GarudaPrince]

hi there,I'm not that good at drawing

Can someone tell me where and when to draw the bolder line?

[20796mayur]

SEX♥!

[M4Nof4CTI0N]

Inking tools?.....Micron?....DUDE IT'S THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY!!!!! DO WHAT I DO!!!

Step 1, Press a bit harder with pencil

Step 2, Force ur dad to buy u a cheap-ass scanner

Step3, Scan it

Step4, use your computer and pre-loaded applictaions to change the darkenss

Step5, Click Print

Step6, Shout in rage followed by rushing out to buy more ink.

Step7, get home inject ink and littrely PUNCH THE PRINT BUTTON

Step8, after it's been printed store in file

Step9, Do another drawiing :3

[SilverYoshi111]

you never told us more about photoshop...

[juanfjimenez9]

hey your long haired character dosnt look like a loser, i think that its a cool character

[r14and0m]

does turning the paper to the side affect the picture when drawing? because i can imitate this drawing but you need to slant the paper to see it correctly.

[rexxtheawsome]

omg. he didnt mention miki falls?!

[CandiSoxGoRawrrr]

I have those pens

[keoni29]

Watch vid, grab pencil. Dang I cant get it right. I need to scale up cuz it's rlly hard to add detail in small doodles. My work is tiny :p

[lilyayora]

Heyy I just noticed I use the same fineliner as mark! this proves quality is a contant XD

[theaca18]

Cool! I'm not that good at drawing anime, but I think I'm good at coloring it. :) I say "I think" because I don't wanna say like, I'm an EXPERT like you.

[jellyfishXfromXspace]

woah...u use photoshop? theres so many more programs that help with tones like sai and manga studio. soooo much easier than photoshop. i find photoshop hard to work with

[tealhiphen]

@VongoIaTenth not really, if you learn realistic, you have a better notion of 3d. If you just draw manga, youre only gonna be able to draw a few things in few positions. Every great artist - realistic or comic or manga artists, whatever - have a good notion of 3d because of their knowledge in realistic drawing. Even mark crilley has done a video of photorealistic eye and said its a good lesson to draw realistic, it'll help in manga as well.

[OnlyMNV]

@tealhiphen True indeed. ;D Mr. Mark Crilley has earned my respect as he has knowledge of other things as well. More so after one of his videos where he showed his watercolor paintings.

So i completely agree.

[prodigyxd2000]

good drawing dood send me plz a step by step instructions on how to do it at prodigyxd2000@gmail.com

[Explorersofblue]

I need help on how to draw good wolves cause mine are getting there but a bit rubbish

[TheBibirules]

[TheBibirules]

Can you draw people from a video game called persona 4

[tearhere11]

[tearhere11]

try to use a g and maru pen, just asking.... Ip

[Yummehgummehbear]

My sisters name is talia lol

[Semeth2007]

Am i the only one who thinks that Talia's eyes are simply hot ?

[TylerMcIntyreSC]

You are an inspiration to everyone, Mark! You're awesome.

[DrQu4ntum]

Cute Brody's ghost is cute.

[TheTanglingTreats]

how do you even replicate faces?! one thing i do know is that you are awesome Mark.

[mesatweenie]

we do photoshop in school



[akamaruanimefan]

cool.!!! wait is she "talia? or thalia?" thalia is also a character from percy jackson!!! read the series if you havent its hilarious!!!!!!!!!

[VampiresExist0013]

I have those same pens!!!!!

[NarutoFan9342]

@turpalibragimov Yeah... I would give a 1000 birds...

[JosephDemetriusW]

Can you make one one coloring on photoshop?

[xFragex]

I would love to get a copy of your books but at the moment I don't have the money to spare... I guess until then watching your amazing videos will suffice lol

[SirFair1]

I gotta get one of your books sometime...

[TheDanielechan]

really you are a talent , you really deserve to get a international success, and i wishi you sincerly that for you, i ordered all miki falls i am longing to read it, however, regarding to this video what kind of pen are you usin??

[LizzyChan101]

*Ordering first volume now*

Hoh, snap! I'll be able to read this soon, so; KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! <3

[TaliaTxT]

I sure jumped a bit when I heard my name.

[LegendaryFroggy]

Kind of looks like Mizore Shirayuki from Rosario + Vampire.

[0123RuTHY]

I use a sharpie ink pen to draw :) & I like your drawings and your manga Miki falls -.~

-SillyRuthy:3

[meeXDhappy]

You are so talented. I love these tutorials!

[alr214162]

mark i got the same kind of pen, how do you keep yours from drying out?! I put the cap on it and everything but it still dryed out... even after i could get the ink to come out, the next day it would be dead again

[mangaluver2010]

@alr214162 That happens to me all the time, and what it always is with me, is it not the fact the the pen is drying out, it the pen nib, that has worn out, so it's not letting out any ink, but then the next day it'll work again before it doesn't again :/ so you could still have a full pen of ink but because of the pen nib, it won't work. I suggest Copic Multiliners SP slightly more exspencive but those you can change out the pen nib and the ink cartarage.:)

[RPGgamer228]

will mark ever change from incandescent to fluorescent??

[StarlightDemonIV]

i tried drawing this, with pencil though, and it turned out quite well :D ill post a pic soon

[shaunkilla1]

are ur lines always perfectly strait or do they sometimes have a little jagged end or wiggles to them because when i ink they tend to be a little wiggly

[YuganaMe]

When you make your novels, is it required to use photoshop or add the gray scale? And when you add text, do you write it yourself? I love your art! You're awesome :D

[Dr4w1ngM0n5t3r]

What kind/brand inking pen do you use?

[Lting2]

ARHGH! this is so awesome! although i can't make my manga as perfect as you. where do you even buy those pens?
