why did i watch that second tutorial ._.

Human curiosity can be dangerous.

yes, yes it can

The Second Tutorial was teaching a little bit, but it was all drowned by all the other shit that came out of his mouth.

Actually he doesn't teach anything at all because he doesn't know anything. I made a tumblr post explaining it about a week ago. http://tediousramen.tumblr.com/post.....eral-years-now

Best tutorial on the internet. Practically doubles as a 'what to look for' guide

I am so great.

I've actually been a watcher of Mark for quite some time. I've never tried to learn anything from his videos because I'm shit at art anyways, but I can't say his videos are horrible, because he DOES draw really well, and I find it fun to listen to him. And he might not be great at explaining, because like I said, I've never tried to learn from his stuff, but He knows what he's doing, that's at least for sure.

Most of his stuff isn't his own skill or style, in his video 100 Ways To Draw Manga Eyes he blatantly copies eyes from various series. Also, I saw the previews for his "manga" Miki Falls and the drawings are pretty bad.

It's one thing to have the ability to draw, but it's another thing to teach. I haven't seen much useful knowledge from Crilley since simply drawing something and showing you how it looks does not necessarily tell you why you're doing it. Mimicking style can be useful, but style is something to be applied after the fact since it's a representation of the artist's take on the subject - they have to know what the rules are before they break them. Sycra's videos are pretty informative since he actually explains how and why things are while showing it. Simply drawing while talking over it doesn't shed much light so to speak.
