How To Draw Manga Female Body Proportions (Talia from "Brody's Ghost")

[kaleepavich]

I've probably used at least five of your videos today, to try and practice my drawing. Thank you so much. I was wondering('m a dark minded person)could you do a video on how to draw a manga girl's possessed eyes? I think it would be very interesting and I'm sure you can do it. With your videos maybe I'll get into C-Tec for visual communications and arts. If I do, the credit will go to you ;)

[akguy678]

mark plese can you draw a male manga body proportions. Thx.

[BreakPointSC]

@markcrilley Fantastic guide for us amateurs(like myself) but surely you don't draw up the lines for every single drawing? When is a good time to stop using the lines?

[aquaraminta]

Oh my gosh this is so helpful thank you so much!

[101guitarchord]

i getting his mastering manga book tommorow i cant wait its going to help so much

[BrownEyesLie]

[CoolJoySaysHi]

Thumbs up if yours looks like frump girl!

[TheCPNewsround]

[MrReakes123]

@markcrilley Would you mind upgrading your camera to better quality? it's just that i cant really see the writing on the shirt and cant see the shading tidy.

[IsraelMania]

Dude i love your Vids! you're awesome!!

[LoveMangaEyes]

I have started trying to draw manga and i have just managed to do the eyes but i dont know what to try and perfect yet so any idea?

thanx in advance

[mrsgorockmusic]

@LoveMangaEyes maybe the hair or expressions

[ShannonWattsMyName]

INDICATE!!!!!! :D

[megazowler45]

Dude that was awsome

[tokyochina1]

oh lol i didnt watch the movie before i commented. Good job Mr. Crilley!

[tokyochina1]

Mr. Crilley, would you ponder adding the measurements of your guidelines in the dropbox? i have a hard time getting any proportions right if i dont have a slightly accurate framework to go by.  Thank you!! Elianah

[pinkshinju360]

i feel like manga and graphic novels are a less nerdey wat for comic book

[MusicalRache]

Hi. This helped me a lot. At the start I just couldn't do it, then at the end I was amazing at it. Thank you so much.

[dewakeadilan]

I just want to ask something... how to draw the same thing over and over?

[NCYiclan]

Get a better camera pls...

[chdskcs]

well it work if did stick firuge ( sorry 4 my bad spelling) witout the lines ?

[KimikaChan98]

@markcrilley Im not sure if you did a video on this before,but if you didn't could you make a tutorial on how to do female legs and arms? Mine always look funky when I draw them. xD

[thekevinologist]

Mark. I'm just wondering. Do you always use the 7 lines that you show us in this video, or is this a method you used to use before you got so good at drawing?

[minecraftana]

YAY

[AlterBridgeAndA7X]

You pwned Jesus.

[ImJustOnePerson1]

good video :) i think girls is cooler in manga. guys looks kinda gay in manga :P

[Pentahydrate]

Very good tutorial, Hope you make a video with some poses, like weapon handling, running, jumping, and some fighting acrobatics.

[95Knuffel]

6:34 "Oops .." xD

[jaidenuiki1]

4:50 u could really good hentai :D

[BeanieBeth98]

I BROKE MY FRIGGING PENCIL!!!!

[SavannahBelle613]

I'm eight years old (I'm using my big sister's account right now). I really wanted to say that I loved the two Brody's Ghost books, and I'm really psyched to know what comes next.

[ralman88]

... its hard not to draw girls without getting some sort of judgement, its like saying you drew big boobs you're a pervert.. draw flat chested and she's a he. sigh its drawing sometimes.

[ralman88]

@ralman88 Hard*

[chromosome24]

ugh these proportions are flawless...

[catsaretheshit]

the top two comments just say it all

[SoftEjectTV]

did u mean PUSSY? :D

[EpicSnowDrift]

oof, man, the hardest part for me is drawing the... um, boobs. THERE, I SAID IT!!! I SUCK AT DRAWING BOOBS!!!! Well, I don't really suck, it's just... awkward to draw.

[AvidAvarice]

@EpicSnowDrift Haha yeah I'm the same way. I usually erase everything I draw 10+ times trying to get it right (I'm a noob), but after the 3rd time erasing the breasts I start to feel a little pervy and just say "ah to hell with it, I'll just make her flat chested"

[CanadianCreeperCrew]

"I'm no expert on this stuff."

LIES.

[TheSims3Help3r]

How does he draw like that. *_____* I LOVE your videos, they have helped me so much!

[LunaTheAngelKitty]

This is how my art teacher told us how to draw the human body. So the lines in this make a lot of sense!

[kode561]

can you make a how to draw male bodies for beginners please

[Kira368980]

This is amazing continue the good work:D

[thesoop9]

Hey, could you do a video of how to draw a girl sideways?

[Emma1Dlover]

Haha, I thought he drew a spider in the beginning xD Nice man !

[Sway0wnage]

@lippychapped lol I know exactly what you mean I was showing my drawings to some of my friends and this one girl who I don't even know said I was weird because my drawings were girls lol.. Honestly though it's not like my drawings showed anything like the girls being naked or anything along those lines.

[lippychapped]

Man, the people at school who comment on my drawings because their girls get on my nerves. My drawings are good and ive heard it from many people. People in church stare at my drawings. Everyone whos negatively commented on my drawings are HA-TERS

[mociula]

t his is hard

[imfreakingAWESOM1000]

when i draw i usually draw girls (im not gay), girls are just easier to draw because when you draw a boy you want it to look masculine, but for some people they look like girls with pixie cuts (short girl hairstyle).

[RikThunder33]

@imfreakingAWESOM1000 ..I don't have that problem o.o it was quite the opposite with me actually...

[imfreakingAWESOM1000]

@RikThunder33 k

[Crazy4theMangas]

@imfreakingAWESOM1000 -

I'm totaly with you on the whole guys-are-easyer-to-draw-than-g­irls thing, I am terrible at drawing any sort of sizeable muscle tone

[imfreakingAWESOM1000]

@Crazy4theMangas ikr?! so far i've drawn about three or four decent guy drawings, the rest look weird O.o

[paularawrs]

@imfreakingAWESOM1000 Agreed! 

[imfreakingAWESOM1000]

@paularawrs ikr?

[champion3433]

@imfreakingAWESOM1000 how would you be gay if you drew girls? XD

[Mayshoshy]

@champion3433 probably because she's a girl..

But I personally think being a girl and drawing girls does't make you gay. ot's just way easier to do girls than boys.

[EricJonRussell]

@imfreakingAWESOM1000 Drawing your gender wouldn't make you gay, you seem uncomfortable to admit that so you point out your not gay. I don't draw masculine boys but I only draw boys. I need to work on drawing females.

[immajusticeleague]

@imfreakingAWESOM1000 ummm, nobody said you were gay

[ALporpoise]

@imfreakingAWESOM1000 Same here, it takes me 45 mins for a girl, and about 2 hours for a guy

[imfreakingAWESOM1000]

@ALporpoise exactly!

[ash13570]

i toke the hair from your video cartoony vs. realistic

[ash13570]

thank you alot i did other hair and i just copyed the body

[ash13570]

this is soooo good but i cant do the hair

[brookmoore03]

I made a vid of me making a sculpture of talia. Search for brody's ghost talia sculpture. Thank you mark!!!

[invaderzimmaniac]

ok i just wanna say, i looked through the comments and most of them are complete pervs! its female body proportions, GET OVER IT! i mean seriously, its not a big deal and if u think it is, watching videos on here is as far as you will get!

[OMGamanderz]

i always have trouble drawing theee uhh... boobies... my manga girls look all flat chested and i dont wanna make them look dramatic i just want my girls to look normal >_< help!!

[9joao6]

@OMGamanderz Just sketch. A LOT. Seriously, draw craploads of girls in your papers with different breast sizes and you will eventually get better and find a style that suits you and whoever watches your drawings ;)

[Macnavor]

@OMGamanderz If you look the tutorials they always tell you to NOT to draw them perfectly circular cause it make them unnatural, is better slightly circular so I recomend to pay attention to the 90 degrees the breasts form with te clavicule (no matter the size of the breasts this is so true) and that will be your guide. Also try to see breasts from the lifted arm the fat over the pectoral muscle comes under the arm and turns into a curve, the breast coming from underneath the arm. Good luck =)

[sternenfuror]

Basically it's, like shown in the video, a "head" from line to line, so if you draw a head with 3,414 inches lengh, the distance from line to line is 3,414 :x

[soasertsus]

I think the hips may be a bit wide. I may be wrong, Im not an expert, it just appears that way.

[Ca3anovaMxM]

What's the distance from 1 to 2, 3, 4 lines ? oO

[dada4159]

@Ca3anovaMxM one inch 

[immajusticeleague]

"I'm no expert on this"

BULL

[TasteYourAfterlife]

Can you do a video on how to draw a manga version of a zombie?

[Icewingjmr]

@TasteYourAfterlife What the...

[mangakasanmi]

awesome!!



[HPAnimefan1000]

I was at my schools book fair and I saw ur brodies ghost book! I would have bought it but I didnt have any money :(

[CounterStrike49]

Crazy thing is, my name is Brodie and cant help to laugh that my name is on a book, am I right for thoughs Brodies or Brodys that are watching? =)

[V1p101]

awkward moment on 4:46 :|

[BjornBS]

@V1p101

[lovepaintingg]

thnx for this video

[derrajiyay23]

do you allways have too draw the police pose? <_<

[gamerking23]

Go printer paper artist Weeeeew

[sbkc18]

33 people hit the dislike button because they cant figure out why Mark didnt need to use an eraser ONCE.

[mangadragon98]

hi, i really like ur vids, i am really struggling on drawing bodies for characters and i really need help >< got any tips to help me? thanks alot ;)

mangadragon98 ^^

[zebraloveroi]

I'm a girl and even when I draw people comment on the breasts when I try to draw myself. -_-

[Theblackespeon]

This is what happens when I draw a girl at school.

Me: Lalalaa...

Random Person: Why does she have boobs?!

Me: Uh... because she's a girl?

Random Person: Ew, I bet you like that! D:<

Me: e.e

[Macnavor]

@Theblackespeon Usually artists are misunderstood, ME on the other hand don't care if people says oh or waow boobies, but honestly they common reaction is ''you seem to like curves do you draw a lot of hentai'' I replay: ''No necesarilly hentai but people nude having sex'' and is pretty normal to me is just ME interesting in something very normal

People of today tend to criticize even though they already seen boobs in tv and sex and playboy in internet or other media etc. so they are HYPOCRITS!

[iaknihsX2]

@Theblackespeon if i were to draw girls at school, ppl would be rather like -wtf is that?-

but thats just because i don't have the patience to draw despite loving Mark's videos xDD

[Theblackespeon]

@iaknihsX2 Same with me, but I feel like I don't take as long as most people. I'll be looking at a speedpaint and be like" Whut?! This took them 12 hours?!" I could never draw for that long XD

[RikThunder33]

@Theblackespeon it was quite the opposite with me actually. I draw a picture at school called 'Dark Humans' (A race I made up for my fantasy story). A have drawn a man and a women (quite flat chested really). Then some guy came around and asked: 'hey what is that?' - 'A man and a women.' I replied. 'Oh yeah? And where are her boobs?!'

I just thought: '...the hell?'

[CovaxAndInexpensive]

@Theblackespeon that happens to me evrytime.. they just stare at me and down at the picture and laugh o_e

[HeartShapedGlassez14]

@Theblackespeon Omg people were always like that with me. I actually do though so when people saw how I drew women and assumed although no one knew my sexuality they started spreading rumors. But after a while people got that it didn't bother me and asked me to draw them characters, it was mostly guys that asked tho XD

[mrboothtv]

@Theblackespeon that's why i never draw girls at school xD

[whatnowhatwho]

@Theblackespeon For Me I Draw Fairly Sized Ones .... But I Get Told "Where Are The Boobs?" :S

[qwe7142]

What kind pencil you use？



[20moon09]

Very Helpfull... Big thanks to Mr. Markcrilley

[guard3742]

Awesome dude that makes me ten times better

[GerryGroteskk]

dude.

you fucking kick ass at this.

[TheeBrunster]

Another great video, this pose actually helped me a lot.

[MsDarkside55]

love you BROODY!!! UR AWSOME!!!

[juanfjimenez9]

i dont know if someone asked to you you can make a more mature and a "little (dont exagerate) realistic" tutorial like 30 years design. please mark!

[mikuhightop]

i love brodys ghost

[iamavampire4]

Haha talya or i watever her name is is kinda fat! Lol anyway thanx a bunch this will hopefully help me!

[ImFrelled]

@iamavampire4 What are you? Anorexic? Talia's waist is half the size of her hips and 2/3's the size of her chest. That's not fat. You're an idiot, with a sick idea of what constitutes fat.

[CnJz96]

okay, wait, this is a serious question.... in the "Male manga body proportions" the height was measured in inches and it was 6 and 3/4.... how is the girl taller than the boy?

[zero757575]

I noticed it was talia from the first strand of hair and

1, i dont have the brodys ghost manga(Sadly..)

2.I only watched some of the talia drawings (Plus i seen the book when u show it many times...)

3. I DID NOT LOOK AT THE TITLE!

[SuperTru2u]

its funny when i get to the breasts of a girl thier outragously sometimes huge they question my sexuality imma girl its easier for me to draw girls T-T

[Crimsonx93]

How much space is between those guidelines? 3cm? 5cm?

[myassin2009]

@Crimsonx93 Why does that matter?

[Crimsonx93]

@myassin2009 so i can draw 'em too and make them the right size, i have difficulties of drawing each proportion on wrong size so it looks retarder

[DaGavinX]

Why aren't your videos in 360p?

[ZX242Productions]

I guess being a minor in women's studies doesnt mean shit...

[SamanthaDSnape]

"Where the thighs meet the torso" - I love how you keep saying that with this sorta hesitation.^^ Makes me smirk like an idiot.

I think it's alright if you said "crotch" thou. I'm a female and I wouldn't feel offended of anything. lol

[MsChidore]

Wow you're amazing! I wanna draw like you! How can you draw so nice? :)

[NightBeaglezz]

Wow ur amazing o___o

[511mohammad]

32 people suck!

[Multi123free]

[ENDY238]

Somebody copyed this video and posted on they chanel!

[DanMarston117]

[DarthKnoll]

For your next video maybe you should show us how to draw several diffenrt combat poses, I can only ever do archer, and a swordsman with the sword held away. Thank for all the great vids, keep it up!

[jawadazamchohan]

@DarthKnoll ofcourse also with the effects when the person swings the sword

[brebry2002]

He made this on my bday

[cutiecooly27]

[brebry2002]

@cutiecooly27 same to u!!



[juanfjimenez9]

your videos are in my mp5 to see how to draw everywhere. and same time i can show your pro abilities to Colombia! :)

[baileyjustin12]

yu should do a tutorial for hair for sideways 3 quarters and wind blowing

[MindlessClique]

If only we all had a Manga girl's body. -_- I envy their darling figures.

[Mcspazsam]

Man you are realy good I don't know why anyone will dislike this video I loved it

[amvmasterofdark]

one boob is biger than the other man.... just thought you should know.

[Saiah7]

@amvmasterofdark and -_-.....

[ShadedNovella]

@amvmasterofdark

That's how mine are ;D.

[amvmasterofdark]

@ShadedNovella ......as in your pictures or your actual boobs?



[zimnynh]

7:36 Don't worry. We study female anatomy a lot :)

[Animefreek123]

Could you do a video like this one (facing front) but with a male? :)

[TheSB2104]

i liked it b4 i saw the video. cuz i know i can't unlike this video.

[loveablekateF]

32 people are either jealous or don't know what a good drawing is... god damn it



[joepit44]

can u do a vid on how to draw a female torso

[jrm48220]

A handy tip about shoulders that I just discovered. If you watch the way Mark does them, and if you look at Akamatsu's work in Negima!, you can see that the shoulder (in a straight on pose) is just a continuation of the cheek lines (after they have turned together to form the chin). I hope that saves others the hours of work I spent figuring that out.

[iTutorial0]

Great¡ now i can draw my own hent.... i mean..... manga...

[joepit44]

@iTutorial0 WOW

[powman244]

@iTutorial0 oh wow dude just wow xD

[PikaFuhrer]

@iTutorial0

I lol'd

[mermaidkat9]

@iTutorial0

lol that funny

[flufybunn]

At the beginnig I was like, "Hmm. . . is that Talia?" Yeas, it is. :3

[juanfjimenez9]

the most dificult thing to draw to me its a woman, that perfection created by god like catolics say. if god realy its like they say or something like that womans are the most perfect creation. and you draw like its easy. (ok its easy only need practice i know). but your amazing

[juanfjimenez9]

fuck you, you are a pro!!! your amazing. i love you!!, not realy but your amazing

[zukofangurl0983]

@juanfjimenez9 lol i totally agree

[summersetred]

what do you mean gentle curves? those thighs are huge. good drawing though

[Xotik417]

I swear, every time I start to draw a girl at school, i get to the breasts, when i draw them, my friends watching me always laugh, because they act like theyve never seen the outline and shape of breasts before... it screws with my concentration.

[ashley13267]

@Xotik417 yea everytime i get to drawing that part when im drawing at school my friends says how inappropriate.

[pkmnbios]

@Xotik417 True, i am male and suck at drawing breast.... Suppose of my gender and not being a pervert, because i feel i'm crossing a line when i attempt to draw breast.

[itchyandscratchyass]

@pkmnbios im male and i draw breasts just fine XD i stare at em enough so i should know how to draw em

[pkmnbios]

@itchyandscratchyass ....I guess observation....

[stormer472]

@Xotik417 I never draw seriously at school.... need a calm place to think and draw

[DxFireBlazeX]

@Xotik417 your friends sound immature lol

[TheHugCharity]

@Xotik417 When my friends watch me draw They criticize on the way I draw the breasts, usually comments like "they're too big!" or "They're too small!" , But on other parts, the anatomy, I ask them 'cause they don't tell me unless its WAY off or too obvious. :3

[GTMLePic]

mark if i drew a picture of talia would it be better to ink it or shade it with a pencil? :)

[MsPooper1]

6:46 I had a hard time .

but, it turned out pretty well anyway !

[DanMarston117]

Me: *Gets pencil and paper ready to learn* - "Let's go" *clicks play*

0:35 - *Put's pencil down"

I think i'll just watch this one...

[MissTomboyAri]

orz I feel like such a fail after seeing him draw the head without any guidlines.

[jenreyho]

mark crilley can make a video about walking

[DARKcpu0]

Dat 240p

[Tsunayoshi16]
