I have to agree with a number of replies,your commentary is really funny and also educational,and of course your art is fantastic.Rae Roseborough is spot on with her comment.Thankyou for sharing your skills with us.
this drawing is one of my favourite drawings you've done so far and I like how you didn't try to do all realistic and such and kept it more traditional woodblock looking.
D'awww, fishy. I had a goldfish for a couple of years named Gobi, he was the cutest little thing. It was hard when he passed away a number of years ago. Yes, fish have suction cup mouths; he used to come up to get food from my hand and almost would inhale my fingers, lol. Fun facts about fish I learned from Gobi: 1) Fish can yawn (and it looks weird because their mouths stretch forward and their eyes "fold out" and then back in during this mouth stretching!) 2) Although fish can't blink, they definitely go to sleep and if you turn the light on during the night they will zoom around their bowl, startled, before calming down again 3) They have a memory of much longer than the myth of 10 or so seconds; they can recognize their owners 4) They have really slippery bodies 5) Fish enjoy scrounging for food in the rocks of their bowl, or rearranging their rocks along the bottoms of their bowls as suits their fancy 6) If you put a plant in their bowl, they may use that as their bed to rest under at night 7) You can tell if a fish is sexually immature by the tinge of black around their fins; this disappears once the fish reaches adulthood 8) Male fish (not just goldfish) can be differentiated from the females sometimes by having whitish spots on their gills R.I.P. Gobi, and thank you Mark for the Koi drawing! :')
Shouldn’t put fish in a bowl and can’t yawn they don’t lay under plants if there on the ground it might mean there sick or stressed the WHITE SPOTS MEAN THEY HAVE A DISEASE
@@CarolineRosenthal yes you are right the black line in their fins is fin rot white spots are ich!Goldfish need much bigger tanks and a filter!But they do yawn and rest in plants
He doesnt actually record his tutorials, he clicks a picture 50 times a sec and compiles it real-time, all while drawing, talking and playing the music, and taking out the trash.
Thank you so much for doing videos like these. Your such an inspiration to thousands of artists and if it weren't for you I probably would have given up drawing. You truly are an amazing artist, and you've helped me in so many ways so thank you
My teacher played this in class and I was overjoyed. Your are the inspiration for me that got me drawing and making a RU-vid channel. Also, I love the miki falls series
This is beautiful. I drew my own Koi and was going to have it done into a tattoo in memory of my Dad who recently passed away. The one I drew just wasn't quite right and after watching this video I have some excellent tips in making it better. Thank you so much. Now I'm going to go look for the Mermaid video you mentioned.. :)
Thank you for being on RU-vid! I've been drawing for twelve years now and my drawing style really drew (ha get it) inspiration from your videos! Thank you
Another great video, Mark! I love the simplicity of the drawings that doesn't over complicate things so people who are just starting can join in. Some funny jokes and your personality definitely enhances the video quality. I will definitely try this out soon! Aaron
"Crilley, would it kill you to, like, go to Wikipedia, man? Find out the names for some of these things?" Dwl! >.< Oh, Crilley, you so funny. And great job, as usual =)
Beautiful job! Thank you you inspired me... I have incorporated Koi into my art over the last year but watching you helped me figure out one of my issues I've been having... the scales I LOVE how you did the cross hatching to develop the pattern... thank you! This will help me...
This is my favourite of yours for a while Mark. Not only would I totally have this as a Tattoo, but I feel like I could draw it myself. I'm off to grab my daughter's colouring pencils! :)
Here's a challenge for you with the fish whiskers: draw a catfish. Then draw a dragon that is based on a catfish (get your creative muscles working overtime).
Great video. Took me some practice to learn how to draw the scales though, I couldn't do it with the same 'sweep' as Mark does... then I figured I had to focus on the upper left corner, draw kind of 'round corners' and not let all the lines touch. Huge difference, now my scales look actually authentic. Maybe it's a small thing and most of you could do it at once, but since I'm still learning I really appreciated being able to observe all the hand movements in detail. Thanks!!! Greetings from Germany :)
I miss the old Disney style that the style that inspired me to start drawing and plus the 3d like art of new style hurts my eyes (just talking about the art and not talking about the content of the newer movies)
Mark Crilley you are AMAZING! I have drawn your tiger and this koi fish, attempted wolf, attempted dragon. They turned out amazing and considering the fact I'm 11, if I can do it, anyone can! Idk how to post a picture of how they turned out though...
Excellent job... I went to Art Institute of Philadelphia yr ago for Illustration and Graphic design. I have 3 Sons who are into drawing Koi Fish right now so I am drawing Koi Fish everyday. Yours was the 1st Video I came across. I also used the Grey and it came out Awesome. Great Work! A dying trade but I got my 3 Sons into Drawing and they are doing Awesome. I didn't have You Tube when I went to School. Haha !!!
Thrilled with the results of following your tutorial! I was hoping to add a koi to a small piece I am working on. I've drawn this 3 times now and I think I have my koi turned in the direction to fit my piece. Thanks!
I'm learning thru youtube how to paint, specially fishes, because I do sportfishing and I want to paint fishes on leather. Your painting here is very easy way you described and I think hedgehog even understood how you did it. Thanks for nice teaching video
Ey Mark mind doing a tutorial on drawing fire/fireballs/fire attacks manga style? It'd be a big help and I'm sure a bunch of others would appreciate it greatly! Keep up the great work!
It would be really really helpful if you could do a video on how to draw a manga headshape, but like a really specific line by line angle by angle kind of video for male and female characters.
Hi Mark-san, would you consider doing a tutorial on drawing various kinds of food? I can't be the only one who needs this... But I mean like pastries, sandwiches, meat vs. fruit and vegetables, something like that? Thanks!
Just thought you would like to know (with sharks at least) the "nostrils" are known as nares, within the realms of Marine Biology anyway!! :D I love your work Mark!!
I don't understand nothing that you sreak, cause i don't know english well. But u'r drawings are amazing! I drew Koi as a present to my mom and she was excited! Thank you!!!
Whiskers. Lots of fish have them. Catfish are the most well-known example, but yes - carp have them too - and the term for the lips is actually ( you guessed it ) lips. LOL :)
is this your first hd video? btw, dude, i am on an hole different level than before after watching this video, and all of your videos in general. i remember that i was your 100th subscriber! :) THANK YOU MARK, FOR EVERYTHING!!
I drew this today! Your tutorial was very easy to follow, I colored my own way though. Only thing is making the contour could have been explained a little better for step people like me but that is preference! Thank you Mr. Crilley! :D
I'm a tattoo artist and I just made a koi... the guy wanted his own koi to be on his waist and it was solid white with a perfect red circles on its forhead. And I rather have tattooed this but the guy was happy and so am I.
Very late, but as probably many, I am on corona lockdown and decided to use the time to try some drawing, and besides learning some basic skills I also want to draw "fun" stuff. I actually followed this video step by step, paused, and so on, and got a decent result that I am actually kind of proud. Thank you very much :)
absolutely fun to watch. made me laughnout loud a couple times. I love drawing fish and watching other people draw fish as well. thanks so much for this great andnvery entertaining video.
hi mark, can you please identify the pencils that use in your videos? i mean when you begin drawing, just a mention of which pencil you're using.. or do you always use the same one for all your drawings?
Body armor in the understanding of relegion or mental state of an individual and physical state of an individual..are the scales, the armorplate the gemstones of like the chest plate most likely the covenant wouldn't be able to be moved around if the armour or chest plate option wasn't executed correct
I'm a tattoo artist. I'm definitely going to be using a lot of the techniques here for creating designs. If I do something close to this I'll send you a pic.
