I'm a children's book illustrator! It's nice to see some different styles from different types of children's books. If you want to get into illustrating children's books, I highly suggest going to the book store, taking pictures of some of the covers, and then recreating what you see. Get as many styles as you can! The more you have on your portfolio, the better!
Hi, I wanted to tell you that your videos have really helped me. I started watching them years ago when I was about 11 and just starting to be an artist. I wanted to say thank you so much for doing what you do and there's been a lot of people who look up to you and now I've become a pretty good artist and it's all thanks to your videos giving an easy very in depth tutorial on how to do things. So thank you so much!! Really you were a large inspiration and have gotten me very far today, where I'm actually at the point of selling my prints. I'll be turning 16 this year so 4-5 years of learning from you (and others, but you started me off). Thank you.
You are my favourite artist in the entire world you helped me with my abusive father and depression you are the most inspiring and cheerful person ever and as an artist alone you are just WOW!!😛
you were the first artist I found on youtube, which was years ago. I went through 3 different accounts on youtube and on every one I'm subscribed to you. I not only admire you and your pure talent, but I look up to you. :) please don't stop drawing mark!
+ScientificTalks Thank you so much ^^
+markcrilley could you please in the next videos ..show us wich pencil you're using on the corner of the video
This video actually made me feel much less intimidated about getting back into drawing and coloring with colored pencils. I used your technique of coloring first and then doing lines after, and I thought it was really fun!
Beatrix potter is one of my favourite children's book illustrators I've collected so many different items that feature her works
It would be very interesting if you made a version of one of her illustrations in watercolour
Children's book illustration videos would be great!! Please do some.
I love Raymond Briggs illustrations! You did a great job Mark, very inspiring.
I really love seeing this art style being implemented for children books. Coloring with color pencils brings out a sense of warmth to the illustration~
I have gone back and outlined stuff after coloring like Mark Crilley did. It really makes the picture pop!
It's weird how when you tubers just start making videos they sound so sad but when the get a lot of subscribers they sound so happy
+Aneisha Volney I would say it's a result of increased energy as you realize these videos are actually being watched by lots of people. :)
Please please!! More of these types of illustrations! Love love your work and would thoroughly enjoy seeing your take on creating characters you'd see in a children's book. My daughter and I can spend hours at the library sampling illustrations.. they are like eye candy for the imagination.
I'm fallin' asleep and it's not even because your boring
I'm laying in bed all Cozy and then you got listening to your voice. It's just calming
im getting mastering manga 1 and 2 for a late christmas gift and it is one of my most wanted things
this is definitely a fine tribute to Mr Briggs work!! you did a splendid job!! I love children's books illustrations. I think they are some of the most beautiful works of art. maybe you can do a series of illustrations from different book artists!!! or maybe even attempt Mr Norman Rockwell! !!!!
+Sarah Longshore Thank you Sarah :)
When I got back into art during the pandemic, I started with water colors, then went to acrylics, pencil, pen and finally colored pencil. This is my medium. I enjoy the other mediums but colored pencils are the best. Added bonus is there is no mess.
Doing the lines last really helps me when I color. It really helps, thanks Mark!
If you want a smoother finish with the blending, use paint thinner or baby oil on a small paint brush, which will fill in the grainy areas.
I got Prismacolor colored pencils for Christmas last week, so I'm really glad you made this, you're amazing at art. I'm trying to be a good artist as well, and your tutorials help a lot.
I came here after hearing Raymond Briggs died today, and so many reviews discussed his books and stories, but none bothered to mention his technique, which interested me.
He apparently worked in a number of media including coloured pencils, inks, watercolours and simple pencils, often mixing them.
As it happens, Father Christmas was done in watercolours, but probably his most famous work, The Snowman, was all coloured pencils, although I don't think he used black outlines, but instead simply darker colours. I also read something about him photocopying the pencils before colouring, somehow so they could be eliminated, (traced?) but I don't know much more.
Anyhow, fantastic video, very helpful, beautifully worked, and here's to celebrating the life of a wonderful artist, Raymond Briggs, R.I.P.
Really awesome tutorial. It's nice to see some really nice work with colored pencils, something that i'm not used to being taught.
Great job on the Father Christmas illustration, Mark. I think you should continue with other character illustrations with the topic of colored pencil fill in, and make it a full series. Thanks.
I'd love to see more of these. I love colored pencils
I love Raymond Briggs, I've been a fan of "The Snowman" since I was able to watch it in 1990, great subject to draw sir. You nail the illustration style perfectly
+Aaron Miller Thank you!
Was that cartoon where the snowman comes to life
+Sketchtastic ! Yep that's the one
Mark, I loved it. Please do more of children's book type of art.
When I read a few years back that David Small was your mentor, I got really excited. Imogene's Antlers had some of my favorite illustration out of all the books I had as a kid. I still put it out to look at it occasionally.
It's awesome to see someone tackling a coloured pencil illustration instruction. I really enjoyed watching it. I think the spout is in the wrong spot though, it should line up with the handle more.
I think coloured pencils as a medium for picture books is quite charming, but hardly anyone is doing it now, it's mostly digital or some other mediums. In the UK Judith Kerr was a champion of it too, although some of it could be a mixture of watercolours and coloured pencils. I think the same can be said about Shirley Hughs's wonderful picture book illustrations.
I know I maybe late but.....
All I want for Christmas is your books 😀😀😀
RIP Raymond Briggs 😢✝️😇👼🏽🙏
It is nice to see a video in colored pencils, I've never been really good with colored pencils will be giving this a try
wow you are really a great example for me, I like to draw, I'm almost four years at art school and your videos are really cool, what can you draw beautiful!
Every time I draw, I always put your videos in the background just to hear your philosophy or technique.
can't wait till the next video XD
More children's book illustrations please :) Loved it!
Ah thank you this was so helpful! I typically only use colored pencils and this helped me make it look smooth and so much nicer!Now I can say I no longer dread coloring!
+loves carmen (lovescarmen) Glad I can help :)
I would love it if you did more children's story style videos! Especially since I've been offered a job to illustrate a children's story; your tips would really help me out! 😄
Enjoyed the use of colored pencil. Something I have been interested in for some time and don't see very much of it even on UA-cam.
Just the coloured pencils are GORGEOUS, Mark! You don't give yourself enough credit! :)
I use colored pencils in a very limited form on my drawings to highlight certain features. I find that shading with graphite pencils then going over it with a colored pencil creates an interesting look.
PS: on the topic of colored pencil being self taught. My dad took classes in high school and was drawing photo realistic cars using only colored pencil.
I got a small pack of Verithin Prismacolour coloured pencils from my dear Grandma for Christmas and I'm intimidated to use them! But this video is helping! lol
Yes!! thank you for the help with the color pencils and thank you for making a real-time video, it felt like 10 years since the last time you make one :)
+MiknightPlay *made
+MiknightPlay I make narrated videos like this one several times per month; the pattern is this: when you see me upload an all-time-lapse vid on Friday, I usually upload a narrated version the next day, Saturday.
+markcrilley Thank you for replying, now I know when to look for a narrated video. You have helped me so much in drawing manga and coloring as well, I really like your channel. :D
I think it makes sense putting in the black lines in the end.
I noticed that the black colour would bleed into the other colours if you happened to get too close to the black lines.
I drew every day for 20 years, then suddenly stopped for a whole decade. Hearing the colored pencils clanking together gave me an unexpected rush of nostalgia lol.
Another fascinating video, really enjoyed watching you work with coloured pencils. I love children's illustrations and it would be great to see you do more.
Thanks for the colored pencils lesson it was real helpful. I especially love the ones on toned paper those ones look cool. I wouldn't have a problem with the children's illustrations I think its important to try different things so you don't lose interest or get bored with drawing :)
Mark-sama, they also have Prismacolor Scholar Colored Pencils.
and Prismacolor erasable color Pencils lol.
I usually wait last for my lines when it comes to watercolor. It makes layering easier and is less distracting
I'm sorry this is kind of the wrong video to comment on, but I found it to be your most recent. I didn't know you wrote Brody's Ghost and I loved those books! In 5th grade, 4 years ago, I read those books and I never looked at the author. who knew I'd be taking lessons from the author of one of my favorite books 4 years later!
+Donovan La Macchia Thank you so much, Donovan!!
Oh my goodness! I had that same experience when I found out he also wrote Akiko.
I enjoy watching your videos Mark, especially the Topic Discussion because it's great to hear what other artists have to say. It helps me get back to my hobby and feel inspired again. : )
Please do more videos on children's book illustration style. This video was wonderful! Thanks.
As a student aspiring to be an illustrator id say children's book styles as a topic would be wonderful.
Be great to see some different styles from different types of children's books
Mark you really help me with my drawings thank you so much and keep doing what you're doing
haha, just wstching you draw the kettle ( we do have electric jug kettles over here in the UK,have done for the past year or two....good arnt they haha) 😂
I would really really like more children's illustration videos. It's a field I've considered getting into.
Got your book the realism challenge from my wife at christmas. Best present i have ever had .
+russ chembo Thank you, Russ, and thanks to your wife! :)
Please make more children's book illustration videos or even just cover other areas of illustrations. I'm in my first year of university studying illustration and I'm trying to open myself up to all of the possibilities
Please do more videos on illustrations! This one was great!
@markcrilley PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE make another one of these. The only other videos on youtube focus on realistic colored pencils and that's not what I'm trying for. Tecniques for prepping pencil lines and how to work with and without Lining first. . . please more
Very enjoyable and informative! I definitely enjoy to watch and learn from children’s book illustration style videos. Your tip about black lines at the end was especially timely for me. Thanks!😁
Hey, Mark! I've taken up manga drawing now and I just received my Mastering Manga book. (I had another one, but I lost it!) I just wanted to say that this book has really helped me and I'm planning on getting the second one soon.
Keep inspiring, Mark!
Your fan, Axel.
+Axel Konopa (FireCore) Thank you so much! ^^
No problem, keep up the great work!
BLOOMIN MARVELOUS !
Very good job ;)
Delightful. I really enjoyed this and I've learnt something useful. Must go and get my coloured pencils. But first put the kettle on.
Wonderful video Mark. I happen to be from england and I am indeed familar with Raymond Briggs's work. I've even seen the animated film of his Father Christmas, as well his most popular Snowman. I think you've captured Briggs's style just splended!
+animate10 Thank you :)
+markcrilley - Can you make a how to draw video where you don't use blacks (black ink, black colored pencil, black watercolor).
+kigawman In this video there are no blacks, only various shades of gray: ua-cam.com/video/OmrW04N0bdY/v-deo.html
I loved it, and it sure will help me when building up colour in my projects when working with my coloured pencils....Thanks Mark for another great video...
Pat
Thank you for making this!
I'm working on my first illustration job and I really appreciate seeing different techniques!
I got your book Mastering Manga for Christmas and I screamed more then getting my laptop XD
I just bought mastering manga 1 and 2 and I love you're videos please continue to do more like this!
+David Tennant Thank you so much David :)
ive been watching your videos for a very long time now sir thank you very much for your professionalism expertise and input you are a huge inspiration to me honestly i think one of the first times i really put effort into drawing was for your how to draw naruto video that pretty much opened the door for my art hobby thanks again man
Thank you Dylan!
holy shit you replied i didn't think you'd see it i just want you to know this made my week man and no thank you
Thank you! I'd love to see more like this!
I love this drawing thank you for making this!
I love your drawings! It makes me wanna draw everyday and I think you should make a video "How to practice your drawing"
I love colored pencils! And I do use both types of Prismacolors. The Verithin style is nice for details and also more subtle shading. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to learn new techniques.
~mailie
I wanted to add that it would be nice to see illustrations of this type occasionally. :)
Hi Mark, more childrens' books illustrations would be wonderful!
Personally I'm not into manga, but I'm learning a lot from your videos. I like the long videos as I sit and draw while watching, usually something unrelated. I'd love to see how you develop the initial idea, "hear your thoughts" as you go from the very rough sketches and composition - so many videos start with an already refined drawing... Thank you and have a lovely 2016!
I have Been watching your earlier videos about how to draw manga I have just started learning how to draw and its help me a lot in drawing so thank you very much and I very happy now because I am 16 and just learning how to draw
i love this style
I liked this a LOT. They style and overall illustration is very sweet. I, too, use black pencil very carefully and AFTER color is used. I like your style! :)
its very interesting the way you used colored pencils. I think its something I'll apply to my art in the future. For now, I need to practice on colored pencils.
I bought your "Mastering Manga" book and it is fantastic. Thanks for all the tips you put in there. Merry Christmas Mark!
I always add the linework at the end. This way I find the piece to be more defined.
I love your videos and books so much!!
I am a big fan of lines, and inking. I DO in fact treat the line at the most important part (for better or worse).
I stumbled upon coloured pencils as a way to provide myself with great control over colour without doing it digitally. However, I discovered that there is one thing people will not tell you: the difference between wax based and oil based pencils. There is a BIG difference. Could you do a video on wax based vs oil based pencils?
I used alot of these tips and it really help to draw a Santa Claus for my brother. Thank you it really helped😊
And correct me if I'm out of line but you taking about the self taught colored pencil straddle get is true, I've done the same with prismacolor. And the fact that you added darker lines in the end compared to Raymond Briggs, it almost brings in an illustrated feel of "Danny and the Dinosaur" if you are familiar with that children's story
Raymond Briggs' The Snowman looks more like coloured pencils than Father Christmas for sure.
This vid is great!!!! I just got some prismacolor colored pencils for Christmas and now Ik how to use them 😁😁
I got Prismacolor colored pencils for Christmas too!
Same here. I got the set of 12 premier.
Awesome Video Mark! Thanks for the very helpful info Mark! Look forward to putting it all into action! Nick
More kids' book illustration-style videos please!
As to the question about other illustrators who do the lines at the end, Will Terrell, who also has a UA-cam channel, does the lines at the end, but he uses markers and not colored pencils.
I really like your videos! I got your book (mastering manga 1) for Christmas yesterday, and I'm starting to develop my first character using it! Its really a very good book.
I'd like to see you do more picture book drawings
More children's book illustrations!!
Hey thanks, I like your explanation on colored pencils... I to build colors then black line. If I pencil draw then outline in black - it becomes a smudge fest. Born with the ability to draw what I see, make up in my head then apply to paper or walls. I like your explanation's, illustrating and will be checking out your books and videos ... . again thank you!
I like the black lines at the end.
Amazing! The way u teach is so well.
You are awesome Mark!
Looks great mark nice work
Mark. I would very much like to see you try other styles of drawing outside of realism and manga.
+jonathan hancok Did you see my Jack Skellington video? ua-cam.com/video/hrAtFs6Q_zk/v-deo.html
Absolutely loved this video!
You should a E. H. Shepard illustration of Wind in the Willows, that's great fun!
Watermillfilms that'd be sick
I love the art style Mark! I have been working on my own children's stories and i found this video helpful as I work with colored pencils and I don't consider myself the greatest artist as I have no formal training but am trying my best at it and hope to learn as I go! But I always find your videos helpful and hope you do do more videos like this one in the future! Thanks for all your hard work and again for all the great video lessons! :)
+Christopher Freese (worshipandfaith) Thank you Christopher!
I love using colored pencils!!!
