I started following your channel when I was about 11. You genuinely got me into art, design and storytelling - your videos are what sparked my interest in the arts. I learned more about art from you than I ever did at school. I'm now 22, a graphic designer, and am about to pursue Production Design for film :) Your work has inspired and influenced so many artists! You're a star and we thank you for years of creativity
Got the same motivation but it seems yours hit different XD
So you're in the OG club too? I whole-heartedly agree with you. Mark has been a huge help to me as well. My art has come a long way since I started watching him back in 2009.
My story is almost identically this one. Thank you, Mark Crilley!
Sir MARK!!! I first watched you when I was 12 years old, now I am 25. And I am now a freelance artist (Self learned w/ your help and other youtube tutorials) and making a living out of it!! Thank you!!
It seems insane to say that we have almost the same story, but I’m a graphic designer
Lol ive been watching him for about 9 months 👍🏻👍🏻 he has definitely improved my art and own his hyper realism book and will definitely get the comic one that hes drawing in this video
I knew he was a UA-cam art veteran but I didn't know he's been doing it for _that_ long, what a legend
I'm closer to Mark's age, but I've taken several lessons from his videos over the years that have aided me in my own art career.
@@ovrair6340 i just checked and it had been 15 years
In the past, perfectionism used to a major hurdle for me. Nowadays when my drawings aren't what I envisioned, it's sometimes a pleasant surprise for me; like I'm finally meeting my own characters for the first time. If that makes sense.
No. This makes a lot sense. My works are the same way, but I am almost always surprised by how the art turned out.
You kick-started my art career around 8-9 years ago. I'm 17 now. It's really nice to see you again... We've both improved a lot, and all I can really say is thank you! Your videos bring me such peace of mind that it's hard to feel nowadays
OH MY GOD I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH !! you helped me so much , and provided an escape that i needed . i’m so happy that you’re still making videos , im so excited to start watching them again. i’m going to cry 🥺🥹
One thing I have always kept in my mind is the endless possibilities I can achieve with art, and that has helped be proud of most things I've made. I always remember what emotions, stories, or messages that I was delivering and how I chose to deliver them, and even if nobody else gets it, it makes me happy
Hi, Mark, your videos and art has inspired me since I was little. I just turned 25 in April and am actively trying to pursue art as career but am taking it rather slow, so far working on my UA-cam channel growth and almost done with a new coloring book to be published later this month. Trying my best to improve my art by drawing as regularly as I can and working on my writing as well :)
Incredible. 💗 Most of these can even be applied to writing books, as I do. Thank you, Mark.
There are many rules applied to all kinds of art at once. Harmony, focus, contrast, story, shape... It's both about music, painting, writing, dancing, singing... Being creative is like knowing several languages. It helps you go further. Well, that's how general education was invented. People thought "we might teach kids everything about everything so they were better at any job they choose". Although later it turned into pointless testing and torturing kids. Sigh.
Been following you for years Mark. Might not watch all the videos, but I tell ya, when I watch one it always seems timely. Thanks man.
Learning to appreciate the journey more than the end result has been the most difficult - but also most rewarding - lesson I've learned, in both writing and drawing.
Mark, you inspired me to become an artist during some of the worst moments in my life. When I was in early middle school drawing was one of the only things that kept me going in the midst of the darkness that characterized my day to day. Your insight, joy, professionalism, skill and practicality has been a great encouragement and has drawn me into the artist I am today. Sadly I have not seen your channel in a while, but I have missed hearing your voice and working along side you while watching these videos. I'm going to do my best to pick up where we left off and begin to watch again. You helped me greatly when I was 10 years old, now I will soon turn 21. Here's to many more years 🍻
These videos are so comfy and informative. 🙂
I'm glad you're still uploading after all these years!
You got me back into art during the beginnings of the pandemic. I even sold a couple of color pencil drawings. I’m also a face painter and balloon artist and I think my face painting has improved doing your tutorials, and I thank you. I’m also happy being a member of your Patreon group.I do enjoy the money but that is not why I do it. When I start drawing time goes out the window. It is very rewarding.
Thank you Mark, I know you get tons of comments and probably can't read them all but regardless I just want to say thank you, you've really helped me grow as an artist as I have watched your channel and bought your books over the last few years. So much so I am now a year and a bit into writing my own manga and I can say hand on heart, you inspired me so much. This video is full of such good thoughts, some things I discovered along the way too. Anyway, thank you again with love from Miyako City, Iwate, Japan.
Very excited for the new book! I just pre-ordered it!
Thanks Mark. I always enjoy your deep stuff.😁😁😀😀😊😊
I've been following your channel since 2008 and have learned quite a handful of techniques from your tutorials. This is another great video and you make great points for the unhealthy/healthy goals.
Hi, Mark!
It’s always wonderful to see you draw. I’ve been watching and learning from you since I was 13. I’m in my early 20s now and am still so inspired by your traditional drawing style. I am more of a traditional artist myself, and it’s very encouraging to see another gifted traditional artist such as yourself. You inspire me! ☺️
been watching ever since I was still a beginner, now I also do make a living through art
Thank you for the video
Mark you have been and always will be my hero ❤️ thank you for everything you helped me learn through all the years from 18 to now almost 30. ❤️
As amazing as always
I'm not sure if it's considered healthy or not to see another artist's work/gallery and want to be able to draw to their level. That goal or drive to learn how to do things they can do. It hurts a little in the gut when I see a piece of art in genre's I love and know I am no where near that artist's level. And with zero idea how to replicate the techs used in the piece, I'm left fumbling with tutorials I think might help. There's a sense of frustration while trying to figure it out as there are some cases I'm not sure what I'm even looking at.
But thank you for the video. I appreciate the advice within.
Well, not looking would also mean never going into a museum, and I'm not about to give that up.
Hey Mark, great video man it's crazy how I came across this just as I was starting to get into an art slump. Thanks for this! Also, have you considered live streaming your work I would really enjoy watching you draw real-time.
... There's a new Mark Crilley book coming out, and it's COMIC LESSONS!? YEEEEES! I really enjoyed The Drawing Lesson. There's useful information regardless one's skill level. Definitely gonna re-read it, and definitely gonna try to get a copy of the new one!
Edit: You can never mention The Beatles too many times XD It's a literal impossibility (just having fun).
I struggled with the unhealthy goal of art translating to money. For most of my 20s it felt like if I wasn't getting paid to do art it simply wasn't worth my time. That being said it forced me to do a lot of contracts that were outside of my normal comfort zone, so I still learned a lot, but definitely not a good mindset, especially because like you said, theres only SO much you can control when it comes to profiting from the art you create.
Phenomenal artist.
A lot of what you said here Mark has a lot to do with passion in and of itself. The negatives you go over are usually destructive to passion as far as I have experienced. I have made a lot of those mistakes myself. Creating art because you want to and being open to criticism (especially constructive criticism) is one of the best ways to go about art as far as I have experienced. I'm working on a pilot to a yet to be announced animated series now and I'm just... enjoying it.
Please do a video on brush 🖌️ inking /drawing what size you use and brand and how many brushes and what each size is for 🧡👨🏻🎨Mark Crilley?
Meeting the wants and desires of the masses can certainly be engineered. That's what business is all about. The trick is not hoping they all like what you do, but learning to do what they all like. Or giving them all a product they want. Or a service they all want, etc.
In art, it's often more about giving them a person they all want, rather than the art that person creates.
Or so I was taught in business classes. I never wanted to work that way, though. I've always done what I liked, what I really enjoyed doing, and hoped I could just make a decent living at it. I could, and that was more than enough.
This said, I don't think there's anything at all wrong with striving to be as good as another artist, as long as you aren't wanting the other artist to fail. This is partly why I love going to museums. I look at the art and say, "Someday I want to be as good as he is." But it's also why I never took up sculpture. Anyone who has seen Michelangelo's David without being completely intimidated is suffering from delusions of grandeur. That is an impossible sculpture, and no one has ever come close to equaling it.
I do this with a few living artists, as well. It has always helped me, and I guess that's that makes the difference. Does it help you, or does it make you depressed and mean?
As for criticism, sometime last year I stumbled across a deadly serious artist who has yet to sell anything, but who said Leonardo's Mona Lisa was "just a very mundane painting of some woman". When what is probably the most famous painting pf all time, painted by one of the most famous artists of all time, can be criticized, none of us are immune.
Some one once said that if you believe the good things critics say, you are duty bound to also beli9eve the bad things they say, so it's best just to ignore it all, god or bad.
Anyway, Leonardo da Vinci was a perfectionist, which is why he finished only a tiny few painting in his long life. He never stopped working on a painting until some outside force actually stopped by demanding he stop and turn the painting over to the person who commissioned it. This is why he was still in possession of the Mona Lisa when he died, long years after he was commissioned to paint it. I guess it worked out for him, though he was always broke and had to see ways of earning money other than his art.
Voltaire is often credited with saying, "Perfect is the enemy of good enough." This is usually said to mean, "Better done than perfect and unfinished". For beginning artists I have no doubt this is true. You learn best by finishing many drawings/paintings etc., not by endlessly tweaking just one.
Crilldog sharing wisdom
I was like the perfectionist looking in disgust how it never came on paper the way I imagined it. I thought 'something has got to give or I'll quit. So someting gave and I improved. It was toil and trubble, 10% inspiration and 90% perspiriation and I did it not ones but every time I drove myself beyond the statis quo. Now I have improved a lot and I am at the point where I can draw what I want. It took a lot of effort but it's realy cool.
Probably weird to get a comment on this video, but I had been watching these when they first released. but never acted upon them. Never really listened to them either, or I simply didn't want to understand and learn my lesson. My point is: it's necessary to stop following other people, stop waiting for them to become active so you can, too. I have a few friends, who I still love dearly, and who I thought would be the ones making art eons before I am. But they didn't and they won't.
For them the desire somehow went away and was replaced with other things in their life. For me the desire to make comics only grew stronger. And I finally started drawing and make my own webcomic now. It was shit at the beginning, but after 9-10 months I started seeing a change. I love my characters, I am getting comfortable drawing them. I want to tell my story and many more. At least during the time I just stood and waited I was always writing, so I have three more books I want to create after my initial project. And I am really starting to understand your teachings, Mark. Thank you for making these videos and for doing the right thing in your life. I wish I had done that a lot sooner. But now I am and that's what matters!
I really enjoy your videos and have started to learn capital A Art recently and struggle with picking a goal then getting pulled in a different direction.
Do you have any advice for knowing how to recognize when you are headed in the right direction and even picking a direction to start?
Worried that the fact I get distracted means that art isn’t a good fit for me
I loved the book”My last summer with Cass”.
I can be a bit of a perfectionist, but it's not just with my art. Like when i picked up an item at the store the other day, then put it back. I was going to walk away, but then i noticed it was pretty crooked. So i fixed it, was going to walk away but then i realized it was still a little crooked. I probably ended up spending 3-5 minutes trying to fix it. But when it comes to my art, most of the time i can't get it perfectly how i want. Which makes me really anxious/stressed and frustrated. Sometimes to the point where i cry or want to cry. Which obviously makes it hard for me to draw, i stopped drawing for probably about 1 and a half years. Now i'm trying to get back into it. But the same problem still persists. :[
Hi Mark. imo criticism depends on whether it is negative or positive. If i show someone something i draw and they just blurt out oh thats crap then i dont listen to them, not because im thinking that my art is so awesome that how dare they say that lol its just negativity none of us need. However if someone says yeah i like it but i think it would look better if you changed this part or added this thing, or whater, to me thats taking an interest and helping me improve
Can you do a tutorial on how to draw a grizzly bear please, and great video 👍
My artistic goal is to draw how a hobby! But, I think that goals are good! (I'm learning English yet, then excuse me for the errors of grammar).
Wow, you're really good at drawing ~ ^^💋💋💋
Hah, your first point hurt me. The one where you wish for others to fail.
It's one thing I hate about myself. If someone is doing better than me, i secretly hope they fail... It's not even like im spiteful. I think its just envy, and I have always been ashamed of it. But its kinda like breathing. It just happens and I can't stop it. I never act on it tho, so I guess it falls into the same category as when you hold a baby and go "How far can I throw this thing" despite never in your life actually doing it.
Opposite tho, when someone is doing worse than me, I'm willing to spend a lot of effort and time to help them.
Okay, I'm being perfectly honest here: I used to obsessively study other artists and kinda try to mimic them, but, somewhere along the line I just stopped doing that. I have no idea when it happened and I didn't even notice when it did, but one day I realized...."Hey....this is all me. The heck? When did I get so confident?"
Just get lost in your work. You'd be amazed what will happen after a while. That's my 2 cents. =P
Also, great video, as usual. ^^
Talk about perfection. I kept trying to draw this character with a green hoodie. It never looked right. I threw countless drawings in the trash. One day I got so fed up with my lack of skills I grabbed the nearest trash bag and started throwing my art supplies in it. My sister came up and stopped me and said she had something to show me. My sister had a book of every picture I'd thrown in the trash over the years. In the first few pictures, she showed me all the characters had bobble-heads and large eyes. In a week, she said the heads were a perfect size, but the eyes were huge. Perfection is impossible. Not trying is no good either. In every picture, pick two things to make better in the next drawing. Hair and hands, so forth. Only two keep the rest the same and take off the pressure. Next, pick two things you like as a reason to keep going. You can fix them later. Over time you will be surprised how far you go but never give up. My little sister is awesome. I still paint and draw today because of her. That was ten years ago (=
I'm not a comic book artist, I'm an up and coming game developer, and my biggest fear isn't being disliked, it's being invisible. The first game I published online got a total of 0 downloads. My second try I got 22 downloads, 3 likes, 1 dislike. I wouldn't mind if I got 10,000 dislikes, I just wanted to know if what I'm doing is going to pay off one day.
WOW!!!
Great things,thanks,keep on keep'n be blessed,saved and all in Jesus shalom
My goal is just to draw. I bought a tablet and I have free time but I just don't draw
I always say there is no such thing as talent. What could be considered talent is the love for art and the drive to keep doing it and keep improving no matter how long it takes.
If tou just give up cause it gets hard or you don't get enough "likes" than you are not meant to be n artist.
Bonk
Is drawing 🖌 an innate gift 🎁 or can anyone hone that skill 🤔 ??
in short be realistic learning anything takes time and drawing takes even more years and years to learn how to dtaw :)
Yo you lowkey sound like technoblade
LOL
