why would you make this book? i'm a aspiring artist and i could pop on the scene right now but i wan't to make sure my stuff is refined.. i had some respect for you until i saw this! i'm not that dumb but other aspiring american artist would actually believe they can draw your way and they try and the result is the crap i see everyday on deviant art. the true key to drawing manga -which i use- is practicing and building YOUR OWN style (and drawing on paper, not a digital tablet)... i know for a fact that is not how your learned to draw nor is it the way your draw. if it was... you would not be a pro... don't worry.. your not the first american manga who tried to make a quick buck by making a "how to draw book".. Lindsay Cibos & Jared Hodges made a god awful called "Digital Manga Workshop".

"why would you make this book? i'm a aspiring artist and i could pop on the scene right now but i wan't to make sure my stuff is refined.. i had some respect for you until i saw this! i'm not that dumb but other aspiring american artist would actually believe they can draw your way and they try and the result is the crap i see everyday on deviant art."

Keyword there is "THAT dumb".----- How old are you? 14? Do you even know what you just said to him?

"other aspiring american artist would actually believe they can draw your way and they try and the result is the crap"-----Have you ever watched his Youtube videos where he said "This is NOT the only way to do this."? Did you see the video where he was explaining his book and showing a preview and he said that he "TRIED" to make it as traditional-looking as he can? And he never said that you have to draw 'HIS WAY' this is just "A WAY" ~Mark Crilley quote.

"the true key to drawing manga -which i use- is practicing and building YOUR OWN style (and drawing on paper, not a digital tablet)..."------LET'S REVERSE HERE: " "i'm a aspiring artist", " i had some respect for you"-----So does this mean that you're a good artist or not? Obviously you're looking his page to see his art and be inspired from it right? Why diss a person you once respected and tried to learn from? And why would you point out the "Key to drawing manga that you use" when you obviously sound like a novice. AND, you aren't a well-known and respected manga artist. WHY? Because you haven't yet proved to anyone, that you have what it takes to be one. As far as I've seen, Mr. Crilley here has. Digital manga and Paper manga is no big difference. What makes you think that digital is easier than paper? You still make your own lines, paint your own picture and the only difference is how the colour looks. You make digital art seem like a bad thing when it's actually one of the best things to pop on the face of this planet. Digital and Paint use the same methods with different tools.

" i know for a fact that is not how your learned to draw nor is it the way your draw. if it was... you would not be a pro... don't worry.. your not the first american manga who tried to make a quick buck by making a "how to draw book".. Lindsay Cibos & Jared Hodges made a god awful called "Digital Manga Workshop"."-----Okay, so you must think you're like America's TOP Artist here. This clearly shows that you are not, in fact, a good artist, because you have seen a lot of references that haven't helped you. Let me ask you another question, how does looking at this one picture from Mark's book make you feel like he's trying to rip people off and draw bad manga? This isn't piece-of-crap manga, it's A WAY of drawing manga. The eyes, the detail, everything, it's A WAY. That whole paragraph was very ignorant. Especially since you obviously haven't seen the book or paid attention to how he teaches on his youtube. And it was disrespectful to a person who tried his best to make a good book for people to learn a popular art form. In case you haven't noticed, his books aren't really known, and How to Draw Manga books are a great way to get himself known. And I hope Mark Crilley gets more known out there and more people try to learn from him.

i'm not 14 dude. how could you not see the difference between paper and digital art? its like comparing a ice cube to dry ice! digital art looks completely artificial. i don't see why you had to twist my words though.. after all Mark Crilly should be defending himself. by the way i do have errors in my art but that why i work on it behind the scenes.. when i come on stage i will blast all of you (including Crilly) away with the first "american manga" ever. cuz i'm sick of everyone trying to be japanese and their art being the like of this - [link]

TheTragicNightmare In reply to yeneuro [2012-02-22 19:42:13 +0000 UTC]

I did not "twist" your words. I quoted you exactly the way you put it, and I do know the difference between digital art and paper art, as a mater of fact, I told you the difference. I can tell you're young and ignorant from that paragraph you put and "i'm not 14 'dude'" and " when i come on stage i will blast all of you (including Crilly) away with the first "american manga" ever. " What makes you think American people cannot draw exact manga? Hell, there are lots. As a matter of fact, this whole paragraph you just replied to me is meaningless because my first reply still counter-argues everything here. Save yourself the embarrassment and stop saying everyone is trying to be Japanese. You seem like a weeaboo yourself, a conceded one at that when you truly have no reason to be conceded or even think that you make any sense. Once again, there are different types of manga, there is no ONE way, and like you said, people draw THEIR OWN WAY. So stop bitching about how people draw manga because that's their style and you're only contradicting yourself. There truly is no way you can make sense at this point.

Dude, how to draw books have tips for incorporating into your own style, they're meant for beginners, and not for tracing and general silly people to just copy things. By your argument, why watch other people on deviantart or use anyone else's tutorials? If you like someone's style, you pretty much subconsciously try to imitate it or incorporate some into your own. And I personally am buying this book because I Support the artist and love the style and would love to see the process of how he does things. It's for learning, and you can always learn form great artists, what better way than a book specifically devoted to the task?
Who-honestly- can say that their 'style' isn't influenced by other people, especially if you're a beginning artist? It's pretty much an impossibility for your own style not to somewhat be similar to someone else's.
