How to Draw a Female Body, Manga Style: Proportions

[thisdudechills]

._. drawing the upper torso is always the hardest part. I tend to draw one the bust bigger than the other.....

[MouakieVang]

Do you mind explaining on how to draw the muscles and abs???

[UzumakiBroxis]

¨"the more i say the more i get into trouble" LOL

[kiomaru1]

btw not an hater just pointing a fact...

[kiomaru1]

those arent real proportion since he drawing him from an upper perspective

[NCYiclan]

Take my dogs.... take my cats.... Take my house..... Take my scooter..... Take my water..... Take my foood........ YOU CAN HAVE MY GOD DAMN KIDNEY AND BALLS AND PENIS!?!? i just wanna draw as you :( And btw.... I'll give you 500 euro for takeing my sister too...

[JocelynWalton]

Anyone else think this guy sounds like Taylor Lautner?

[TheAbbiedudette]

You Are A VERY talented man :)

[kamicakarin]

Mark, do you ever make a mistake?!

[3X5XL]

your ending quote... "real soon" is really creepy like taken out of a scary movie =p

[TheAbbiedudette]

@3X5XL Yep.. LOL.

[Vipera217]

male artists usually are carried away by "that" part of the body..whew, i thought it was just me xD

[SikotaUrinakano]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR PRONOUNCING MANGA CORRECTLY

[vartika642]

[pokeSMAboy]

I just saw your video today and i m already your fan

[2randomninja]

@pokeSMAboy same o__O

[pokemonlikedude]

i dont want watch his videos to learn how to draw i just like the sound of his voice

[cyberkitty172639]

ummm Mark...not to offend or anything but I think people ment the proportions in a front view and not a perspective view you did right not...you know like a front view with the female standing straight and all that. Just saying...

[taytaykirkwood]

would love to see some perspective stuff like foot kicking towards us/forshortening and all that goodness

[IfIWereAFlareon]

[geher16]

[RECONSNIPER58]

[jameshriz]

@RECONSNIPER58 I believe it's a black prismacolor pencil

[RECONSNIPER58]

@jameshriz Thanks

[marilla7360]

oh mark your drawings are too cool!!!

[hamzaawesome7]

Hi. you may or may not read this but I'm a 13 year old who wants to impress a girl by drawing her in a manga style format. I REALLY suck at, not just manga, but all types of drawing in general. My brother is great at drawing manga but I don't want to involve him in my personal affairs. I want to learn how to draw as good as you and maybe even take up being an artist. If anyone read this, help me as much as you can so I can draw well. That is all I have to say. I'll be back when I can draw her.:)

[BeLLa37296]

@hamzaawesome7 you just have to watch videos and try to draw it again and again i did this and now im very good but not as good as mark he is really talented

[soullesplain]

Mark will u ever be going on a tour ???

[BeLLa37296]

[ashley13267]

[crystalpad2010]

[momo9518]

U'r the best!! :D

thumps up, if u agree!

[chromosome24]

its so much harder to get female proportions right then male. I feel there's more elbow room with male proportions but the female body is less forgiving. could be because im a dude, too.

[1900yassysmile]

how do you not need an eraser!?

[emyb21]

the shoes are just a little but big

[iamacupcakee]

:O SHE LOOKS LIKE KYOU FROM CLANNAD!!!

Just wondering, how do you dislike an awesome tutorial?

[Dragonslayer759]

Do the breast lol

[Princess3394]

240p we meet again

[inmate1099]

dude you are awesome, and concerning what you said about how other males get carried away drawing breasts, it because they are not but a bunch of disgusting dirty perverts , you on the other hand is a refreshing change.

[sakura8112]

[DominateStudios]

I came here thinking to myself:

"Mark, don't make my drawings look bad." >.<

After the video: *0* dies

[Romualdz69]

This is epic, outstanding, incredible, amazing, fantastic, unbelievable! So many videos on how to drawn manga faces, eyes and bodies! There is so much to learn from. You're the most AWESOME manga artist I've ever seen!

[FrostedPingu]

[candystorm9]

Mark: "Some artist's, usually male, tend to get carried away by this particular part of the female body, im just trying to keep things fairly reasonable..."

Me: "Good man" XD Thank you for the video!

[iamacupcakee]

@candystorm9 Lol like in Fairy Tail... those things are HUGE!! xDDD

[WatermelonPeppermint]

DANG ANIMU, THIS HELPS WITH NOTHING

[vampiregirl241999]

[THEDUDE4219]

HE'S TOO GOOD :(

[THEDUDE4219]

HOW THE HELL DID HE GET TO THAT DRAWING AT THE END?!?!?!?

[chenjoe89]

1. i know both miki falls and brody's ghost are good but which series would you suggest for a male college student (to read first)?

2. is the "how to draw" book coming out soon? In the cartoon block interview I believe Mark Crilley mentioned that he had been working on it.

I have been starting to draw all Mark Crilley's tutorials XD, it is so great he is doing this on youtube.

[fantagegurls1]

i love the miki falls books i read them all in a day in the winter one i was about to cry

[Chibilovesyou1]

you are just a wonderful artist. im really learning a lot from all your vids. especially this one because i suck with proportions. :D thankies for the vids

[Seatimer2000]

Dude, ur so good at this! It would REALLY suck if you got an arrow in the knee... :(

[superegomaniac12]

@Seatimer2000 hahahaha skyrim xD

[CascadaGirl67]

the people who clicks on dislike are jealous ,because markcrilley is drawing amazing

[DavidWasHere0]

Chuck norris can draw with no hands

[apollotank1]

most male artists get caried away by this part of the female body im trying to keep things reasonable umm maybe i should stop talking because more i talk about more i get myself into trouble.... hahahaha i love this guy

[TDGPSP9000]

Why don't you guys like pizza. :'(

[darktower011]

The legs were the hardest for me. Took me about 5 tries to get it right.

[LabyrinthOfDream]

i keep trying to draw this, but each time it turns out wrong, so i try again, but its wrong again, so each time it turns out wrong i become more and more discouraged, until i finally think that i just cant do this. i give up.

[X3m3Dudes]

wish I could draw something like that....

[lord9ty]

Am I the only one that likes his voice?

[BornGodofWar]

I used to be an artist like Mark, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[MrAndypanda24]

OMG!!! I actually gaot it well.... the body sculpt. But thats what i was mainly looking for.Thanks mark crilley :)

[gracesama]

[Pr0zNemesis]

[gracesama]

@Pr0zNemesis True... true...that would be fun...

[R994X]

[leopordpotterfriends]

[leopordpotterfriends]

oh, your to good, its so unfair

[chrisakalogic]

[cookiemonsterlove90]

[hotaru1able]

i cant do the waist or legs for sh*t...man i wish i was at least half as good a you mark

[blackrose4365]

i really suck at legs the width and length

[UnForgivableBlood]

Your my hero :( !!!

[TheOksanna14]

Its always the shoulders and arms I have issues with. because the width of the shoulders also play along for how far apart her arms are!

[JazzyBVB]

I like how he gave her a camel toe.

[obsessed1and1imature]

i love how your drawings sort of wander between the boundaries of manga and realistic!

[A7Xsynandtherev]

I have a hard time knowing how wide the shoulders on a female should be, any ideas or tips?



[oliverolivertwist]

Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to add or draw glasses onto the drawing, Thanks!

[xxm0nkyxx]
