Through making so many videos of my own, I have barely had time to watch
other peoples videos. You are obviously a YouTube legend and I have been
subscribed to you forever, but I have to say that I have a new appreciation
for your teaching and your ability to engage after watching this video. I
watched this video and learned that I have room to grow both as an artist
and video maker. Kudos Mark!

Steven Holt says:

Since watching your videos I’ve not had an excuse to be bored now.

MrNotThatFamous says:

alright so i’m attempting this an somehow i got my neighbor pregnant, these
steps are not properly explained or was this the desired results, id isnt
over yet, i might have done this exactly as expected, haven’t even found my
pencil yet.

Hey Mark could you do a video on drawing more ‘efficiently’. What happens
quite alot is that I can get a good drawing but it takes me hours to do.
Sometimes I get bored with the picture and there is alot of erasing and
redoing. Looking at professional animators they seem to be able to get
through their drawings in a matter of minutes. Yes some of this will be
practice but I can’t help but feel there are other things I could do. If
you could shed some light on this that would be great. Thanks, great vid
and keep up the great work!

Chichi koki says:

Evan Almighty says:

I’m attempting to draw a cougar based on this video. I have a contest at
school to draw the school mascot and if I win, my drawing goes on the 2nd
title page of the school yearbook. We have competitive artists so please
wish me good luck! >.<

Steven Holt says:

Can you draw a giraffe one day? I find they have interesting markings.

AlyssaFoxAH says:

It’d be cool to see how to draw some kind of lamb…or just something with
like a cottony texture

Golden Hybrid says:

LAST MINUTE (don’t judge me XD) AND…..AND I FOUND THIS AND NOW I GOT AN
A+ OOOOOH MY GOSHHHH I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!! *gives a teddy bear*
(sorry for caps, I’m just RLY exited!!!!)

TheEvaGuy says:

Ah no blushies for the lion

Brennan Bruggeman says:

I’ve followed quite a few of your drawings tutorials and I’m proud to say
that always exceed my expectations thanks to your instructions!! Though I’m
wondering if you could do a video covering your process of studying the
animals you draw? Any tips on how to know where you’ll set up your
guidelines and things like that? Also, how to apply fixative spray
PROPERLY? 

M1illion says:

Can someone please please Please! Tell me what tool he uses to darken the
drawing. Thanks 

Upscent says:

Alrighty, I have been looking for a good white paint/gouache for quite a
long time. Meanwhile, I have bought like 3 white gouaches, 2 white paints
in pen containers and a white pencil. The thing is the paints and the
gouaches dry and fade, which is extremely annoying and the white pencil
would just smudge if I draw over my pencil drawing. HELP! Any ideas or
specific brands that make good gouaches? I’m desperate! I draw portraits
with graphites and colored pencils and sometimes I really need a white
highlight here and there!

Dimitris Karaoulanis says:

that is amazing bro how did you draw that i was trying to draw that and i
couldn’t thanks 

Mokriška Ná says:

Okay well, mine is lousy compaired to yours, but if I compare to myself I
did awesome! xD

vintage nerd says:

I drew this step by step,it came out amazing.Thank you,you are inspiring!

Hady Akl says:

Mark please Do a cute anime Girl with long Hair Thank U !!!!!

joanne ridewood says:

Please for your next video this Friday can you please do the wolf again
with no time lapse as I was fine until you started the shading of the fur
and I had no idea what you was doing and that really disappointed me

Brayden Figgins says:

HEY MARK!
For your next video, can you PLEASE draw one of the Following:
Mega-Man
Ness or Lucas (From EarthBound)
Ike (Fire Emblem)
Samus Aran
Or a Boy warrior with a sword or something?
THANKS!

Pawz Clawz says:

Hay Mark! This is soooo amazingly realistic! You have inspired me to draw.
I actually wanted to draw when I was around 6-7 years old, but I quickly
gave up since nobody appreciated my drawings. And they said quite negative
things about my drawings. Now almost 14, I took another chance and tried
drawing. I’m not the best artist but I’m learning so much from you. I learn
to never give up and just keep on practicing. Thank you Mark! And never
stop drawing.

denok gembil says:

Can you teach me how to draw cheetah mark

imPYREX says:

you’re awesome bro! i just found you on youtube and i am going to watch all
of your videos because they all seem so good and you are an amazing drawer
keep it up! :)

elizabete sa says:

+markcrilley ,my drawing is not perfect as yours,but with your help, i just
learn how to draw! is pretty much that i could do before! sorry for the
english, i’m from Portugal! i draw the lion and the kitten, i’m very
satisfed whith the result! keep doing your great job!

Hemanth KP says:

+markcrilley Can you please make a video on the different strokes that you
put in during shading? I see that you have used the y pattern and a tree
kinda pattern a lot here. Also saw that the strokes you put have different
directions like slated ‘v’ shapes. It will be helpful if you can show them
a slow motion video 🙂 Love your works and have learn’t a lot. Thanks..

Madissem Mortensen says:

Can you please do an Airedale terrier? I own one and I have a really hard
time drawing him. Your animal drawing videos have really helped me.

Yiuro Chan says:

I was waiting all the video for the damn blushes 🙁 . i’m dissapointed Mark
.

Ruth George says:

thanks for showing me how to draw a lion , that looks pretty cool. :)

HannahMaple says:

how do you make it so it looks pop out?

KaCe Whitacre says:

This was my first time watching your video. I enjoyed it very much. The
proportion layout was a wonderful first step… getting that right helps
set oneself up for a more successful drawing. I want to draw a Rocky
Mountain Ram, so will take your ideas and use them to layout a Ram. 2014 is
the Asian year of the Ram. Thank you.

Jade Moorees says:

So where are the eye whiskers you talked about? ;p

Fobia™ says:

A question that drives me hazy, what’s the gradation pencil you’re using?
(I’m quite sure I said it wrong.)
I think it’s a HB, maa..ybe?

Primeiro Último says:

Hi, im Portuguese and i started to draw since one month, i usualy watch
your videos and you are such a good artist, i learned a lot with you, i
hope you continue this draws and share to everyone, and im impressive with
my self, now i can draw almost everything, so please give-me a favour, draw
a body horse, not just the head, but the all horse body.

Tionne Gavros says:

Mark I need your help !!!!!

Joel Randolph says:

Thanks, Mark for a great tutorial. Great mix of real-time and time lapse.
I was able to follow along and reference a photo with pretty good results
for me.

Melody Cake lps™ says:

U r so professional 

Ixz Atler says:

Have you done any Attack On Titan? If not can you do something along those
lines?

Annemarie27 says:

You should come out with a realism drawing book on animals. I am not a fan
of manga. Sorry. Otherwise I might have bought a book too cause you’re
amazing at teaching others & drawing.

Javier Navarrete says:

just quite awsome nice lol i started on it i just finished at 10:12 pm came
out badass just for a begginer i love it thanx dude nice 🙂 and now im
doing another one exactly like this but wth no pencil but with watercolor
effect ;)

EvilSam BD says:

Alright, I see you have not done a video on weapons… so I will request!
Can you do a video on how to draw using weapons? Swords, spears or bow, and
using magic. Doing some medival fantasty stuff, I’m curious as to how you
would go about it. 

Lilgabz says:

would an 8b pencil do for the nose?

Lila Gellerstedt says:
