[Yankees2Texans]

[kriskillerX]

[Legacy846]

compared to you my anime drawing looks like crap lol

[brunomars25hair]

@Doodlerz22 well back in 2007 mark crilley could draw amazingly!!!!!!!

[brunomars25hair]

i have all of miki falls,all so far of brody's ghost and everything else he has ever made or will make, i will buy!

[KingFate20]

This is not even a good example of an anime character, its more of an American cartoon. The cheeks should be next to none, the nose is to large and defined, the lines in the clothing are to broken, the clothing is also largely dis proportional, and the neck is out of place. AND WHATS THE MINIMALISM BULL SHIT!?!? ANIME CHARACTERS HAVE A LOT OF DETAIL!!!!!! AND THE HAIR LOOKS LIKE SHIT!!!!

[thedrpeppermonster]

Thats not a female.

[itsjustmelbr0]

You make it look so easy...until I actually get my pen to paper and fail.

[LordofDorkness94]

You are simply Brilliant!

[uchihafan3150]

it went from girl to boy lol

[KingFate20]

@uchihafan3150 Well thats kind of all characters in anime(well... most of them) are very feminine in body structure. That is also why most male cosplays are done by women. Exceptions would include characters with well defined MALE characteristics such as Yasutora Sado, from bleach.

[uchihafan3150]

@KingFate20 well i cant object to that :p

[TheAnimeartist96]

the hair isnt realy anime so i would fix ur drawings and everything in anime/ manga is detailed im gonna stick to mark crilley he i amazing

[xxxCandyKittygurlxxx]

I've seen five year olds do better. >:O

[Evanaahy]

Wow thats Amazing, people are just too damn racist<--coz he is white he cant draw anime?wow whats wrong with you people? wow speak of racism

[fugitivodoinferno]

Your manga style looks like something I usually call "americanized anime". While it shares some characteristcs, it doesn't really look much like japanese style. That, however, does not mean it's bad or sucks. You're obviously a good artist. You also have charisma.

In fact, I do not believe there's that much detail in anime. The most important things are the face shape, hair and, obviously, the eyes. Other than that, it's pretty basic and easy.

[AQWorldDF444]

NO. JUST NO.

[yoyorahrah]

Jay French, eh?

Nice try jesus.... nice try....

[SamirasoFi]

@yoyorahrah awesome comment is awesome

[KurtKosmatka]

[MsBrowniesRule]

@KurtKosmatka Yup.

[RedCandy44]

dude really plz that is not anime if u think it is u need alot of practice

=.=

[name6596]

How's this dude a douche bag? Did I miss something?

[bluedeoxys]

Not anime, seen better. burp i mean gaaasp

[katelyn272727]

ok anime is all about the DETAIL don't tell people that are trying to learn how to draw anime its not the DETAIL like look at other pictures then compare it to that it sucks i have been doing anime for about a month now and i can draw anything so i mnow that its about THE FUCKING DETAIL

[fugitivodoinferno]

@katelyn272727 Your comment is hilarious.

"like look at other pictures then compare it to that it sucks i have been doing anime for about a month now"

I thought you were going to say something like 10 or 15 years. You don't have nearly enough experience to act so arrogantly. Respect other's work.

[NinjaShadowish]

lol the weird ass smile at the end

[MrMcQuackster]

im not even good at anime but i can say, THAT SUCKED!!!

[japan2021]

im 32 year old i have been doing manga since i was 14 years old i study anime for a long time and still do seeing that it changes sometimes...anime is very detail dont know what this guy is talking about. The more detail the better. Not for nothing but if ur not good at manga art u should not post how to do them. To those who want to draw manga look for the books called How To Draw Manga they have a lot of them that will show u a lot of stuff not likt this guy. Dude study more then post.

[jerenel123]

hey pal tnx your realy helped me

[ZeeZee1023]

I have been trying to learn how to draw anime for years but I'm still bad at it. I haven't improved I'm slowly losing hope! :'(

[Torchy7]

@ZeeZee1023 dont lose hope!!!! DONT FUCKING LOSE HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rtron55]

[mehallamarioluigi45]

[puffball371]

i hate it when people say animie as animae, it's pronounced animee!!

[UltimatePancakeNinja]

@puffball371 no its not ive even seen an anime where they pronounce it animae. ur mistaken

[andrion95]

your drawings are f*ckin good.....mines are simpleeee goooood,beacause it's different if someone sees a drawing and says ''omg awesome'' ,than if he says ''uhhh good'' for another drawing....i feel like i want to draw better someday.

[PITZWIL100]

Wow, nice! 

[yoyoiamawesome1]

YOU A PRO

[ThePoblo123]

the people who are writeing bad comments are just jellous of how good he is at drawing

[friendlygirl135]

hi jesus!

[Poqsty]

this guy is ok but it dont like like a japanize cartoon , if you want to see better you should see markcrilley he shows you better tutorials

[GabiLoLz]

wow your a pro

[XtremeFighterX2]

hi im jay french from doosch bag.com lol doesnt look alot like anime

[XtremeFighterX2]

hi i jay french from doosch bag.com lol doesnt look alot like anime

[tinkerbell795]

this seems like a more americanized way of drawing manga. judging from this video, it doesn't seem like you draw manga very much, or look at a lot of quality drawn manga as a reference. the only time i've seen this style, is when american cartoonists first try to draw manga, not to say it's bad... it's just not very manga-like.

[bobcatlover1]

WOW!that was amzeing like really really amzeing!

i tryed but at the end of mine it looked like a boy lol

[Macnavor]

@bobcatlover1 You know from my experience some anime guys tend to look very femenine so they trun to be confused with girls so don't worry to much about it unless is a woman with beard lol

[onebignom]

wow... You actually made it look easy :P

[drummerXVIII]

i love how i didnt learn how to draw. expert village fucked me again!!

[TheAwesomeifacation]

love it i cant draw at manga at all tho :'( i wish i could i have no idea of drawing chibies tho (idk if i spelled that rite) i wish i could draw manga SO MUCH!!!! all i can draw is lousy stick people,and even those look bad!

[SuperSupersaiyan99]

@TheAwesomeifacation My friend who is a girl but is not my girlfriend (i wish) can draw really good anime. She Said she even has her own manga but that it's secret so she won't show me. If I can convince her to lend me a picture I'll make a video of it. Check out my channel to check if it's there every once in a while. :P

[xavierzavier]

that is not anime i know anime when i see it

[MangaAdictXxX]

woa you draw awesome i'm still impressed but...it's not really anime xD it's a fault alot of people make is say: i can draw anime xD.well no you can't 'cause anime is animated. but you can draw manga, wich is the 'comic form' of anime xD lolz. and another thing the manga you draw is very american way, and for me: somebody who doesn't like that, you impressed me so much that i don't hate it at all xD the drawing mood feels just right xD so keep up the good work and sorry for my fail english

[tadamuto4ever]

RAPE FACE!!!!!!!!!! thumbs up if you agree

[KurikazuTheWarrior]

I give up, no matter how many videos i watch and how much i try i cant draw anime. Im returning to drawing non anime.....

[tadamuto4ever]

@KurikazuTheWarrior don't ever give up it took me like...4 years to actually MASTER drawing anime! ^___^

[KurikazuTheWarrior]

@tadamuto4ever i didnt give up now.......im trying again

[TheLogo300]

it dose look american but m sure it will pass my art testr in 9hrs

[xXBloodySacrificesXx]

When I saw your hair in my mind I shouted "FABIO FABIO FABIO!!!! DONY OSMEN!!! Ahem Sorry I meant, I like your hair.....

[pet415]

[jamieunger8]

[SasuSaku4evea]

Wait.. he drew a chick?.... Lesbain....

[anmiegodess]

what the heck why is your hair long??!?!?!?!

[TheDylandProductions]

Someone needs to play 3:09 in slow motion lol

[Markolover13]

what is up with the sub tittles, i cant see anything

[YourToiletCleaner]

i kinda payed more attention to his hair



[sonicwater567]

GOD Y CANT I DRAW THAT WELL!!!!! F*%$!

[dafiltafish]

is it just me or did the drawing remind you of fonse?

[Renegade2895]

@dafiltafish what show was the fonz on?

[langelslshadowl]

to me that looks like your basic comic book character, but it doesn't remind me of anime in the least. manga is actually a lot more detailed then you think. they choose where there lines will go to have the most effect and most have exaggerated emotions. if drawing shoujo, for example, the eyes tend to be very large and the hair is overly detailed. shounen has thougher looking characters with very overconfident expressions. yours doesn't look right. i suggest before doing a tutorial, research

[sonnyp10]

dude, that's not bad but if i were you i would keep practising before you make a guide on drawing anime, not a bad effort though

[XxXEmOcOnXxX]

Fail, thats not how we draw them. :o

[warhero1645]

damn... you've got a pretty deep voide dude

[worldofavatar123]

@Griffons197, he's a better artist than you'll ever be

[langelslshadowl]

@worldofavatar123 you haven't seen his art so you can't really say that...just sayin...

[TheEsta4444]

I HATE ADVERTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Griffins197]

too american and what are you talking about. in anime everything IS DETAIL. PLEASE do your reaserch about anime/manga and until then please stop posting these videos until you improve.

[Evanaahy]

@Griffins197 I bet you cant even draw half of what he just did so sdfu you loser.."American" whats that supposed to mean huh? but i dont blame losers like you i mean..come on you are one of those jealous freaks anyways...

[GrimmjowRocks123]

@Griffins197 Actually if you compare anime style drawing to realistic drawing it is a lot simpler and has much less detail. And what he's saying and what he's drawing I would say he's using and referencing to the older anime styles in witch what he's saying is accurate to those animes. But the newer animes such as Bleach or angle beats what he has shown is not as accurate.

[MadSwaga]

FAIL!

[hectormagi3]

Why we see this video? Because we are Otakus! The teacher it is too!!! Otakus will rule the world!!

[sieg3d]

to american to be an anime draw :P

[sophayrules34]

hes everywhere!!!but ur amazing

[MAAZ52]

wats the pencil ur uesing?



[richie543ify]

damn ur left handed ?

[iS4LiFELi]

there's a little it of amercan in that anime lol XD

[Thepokemonfreak19]

where has you learn to draw?

[mistyfoot716]

hey check out my how to draw professional manga and i made it and i'm only a 11 year old!

[cedric4090]

its hard

[mufcRULE2000]

wats anime

[Gl1tch3rz]

@mufcRULE2000

Lol Animation sorta

[kitsaros1991]

ofcourse they started to use computers a lot for anime characters if not always but even in the paper it's still pretty good

[kitsaros1991]

since 2005 anime characters are very detailed actually not that i don't like what he drew but still...i had to say it

[hedgehogdrawer30]

i think that was great but you should angle the camera better so you can see the exact shape of the head and stuff. mine was off because of that

[ilSeerali]

looks more like a cartoon.. but i like the way you do your hands :D

[TooCoolGirls]

you are wat to compilcated

[rsfff]

what kind of pencil is that and best way to get it to comp?

[richishard]

scan it or just draw it on your pc in something like paint or pencil

[jayfrenchstudios]

Yep. Years of practice. To be fair, anime isn't my specialty and you can probably find muuuuch better samples all over the internet. I just hope the basic instruction still helps some! As for the practice thing, I recommend copying a bunch of art that you like. Eventually the concepts alone will sink in & you can do it without a source pic!

[iluvyone]

looks like a cartoonized kate gosselin.

[JayShay95]

I was going to ask you how you got so good, and I bet ur going to say years of practice, right?

[DaMusicFreak101]

most likely

my friend got started by doing something that is weird but may work.

She said to stare at what you want to draw for an hour, havnt tried it yet, but she is a very good drawer

[lovelybones121]

cool

[theMewmewpowerfan]

nice hair dude i like it

[555moviemaker]

HE CAN DRAW!!!!!

[eunicekeith09]

amazing ,, really amaze me..

[sharklord]

this guy is good, that other one was horrible.

[animestar566]

yeah this guy is okay, but man, that other guy...I think he was trying to insult anime!

[rukicalabaza]

i think the draw looks more an american character than an anime character~

But it's still good :)

i like the coat and the crazy hair

[dragonmaster0070]

its a great video but next time u might wanna talk a little less boring because to some people its hard to pay attention to what ur saying when they start to get a little bored !!!

[Aly97627]

Hey, nice style of drawing you've got their :3 To me, drawing seems like individuality, we all have our own styles, and you know, ....... The manga artists' drawings reflect their personality and style :3 it doesn't matter how anyone draws ^-^ I think your styles awsome. 5/5

[XxXxXEMOVAMPIRExXx]

hes good

[Cartoonruf]

Those were sure some nice drawing moves.

[TeamOutcastParkour]

what the hell, why dont you do it a little faster next time

[Galasar2]

I personally don't care for your art style, it has too much of an American cartoon look to it for me, and I feel you should explain that there is no right or wrong way to draw it. Also that it is important to acquire your own style rather then copy someone elses.

I am currently writing a Manga novel so I have my style right were I want it. xD

Thank you for posting your video, I hope it helps a lot of people understand the basic style. :D

[FuzzyBear973]

I agree with Galasar2. I don't really care for your anime style

[JesseandMattyweirdos]

plz help by veiwing and comenting on my videos. click on my name to watch! thank you

[Tecna10]

ahh thats GREAT!! KAWAII lol xD

I cant draw even a head line -.- duh i suck xD

[MrsNesbit1]

3:09 is a bit cheesy

[Lyexsah]

Not to be rude, but this isn't very accurate to true anime style. And the arms were way too short. True Japanese anime has a higher quality, and it's not always about minimalism, it's just that it typically makes things easier to draw. If you're drawing just pictures, not nessecarily a manga or anime, your pictures would be far more detailed. Any person who watches anime would be able to spot this out as the westerner attempting to duplicate anime, as opposed to actual japanese anime style.

[Animefreak123zebra]

You're saying it wrong--it's 'Ah-ni-may'.

I draw anime too, and those eyes need work. The side nearest the nose, pointing to the center of the face, should be open, but the other side needs some sort of inward curve.

Also, forget that extra line. I know, it seems like the white should be outlined, but it just looks demented.

The neck was a little too small, too.

Other than that--good work!! (Just constructive criticism, so you can fix mistakes, not to be mean.)

[An1meL0vErz]

i cant draw it == OMG !!! i cant even draw the face shape -- seriously i sux.....

[mestereo8]

hey you are the best artist I have ever seen. And could you teach us how to draw realistic Manga.

[Oboekid76]

Come on mark.... you know better.

[yhuji123456]

he's left handed

[ANIMEsannoyingfriend]

This is really bad, hell in ms paint I could do better.

[velaydez]

good job man
