I have been watching videos but you have blown my mind. The rose went from a flat rose to a rose lifting off the page that you could almost smell it's fragrance. Thank you! S🌹

I don’t understand why mark doesn’t get more views :/ he certainly deserves more views, especially for almost 3 million subscribers

WHOEVER IS THAT DISLIKER, CAN YOU DRAW THIS GOOD?! PROBABLY NOT!!!! MARKCRILLEY IS THE BOSS AT DRAWING!!!

I thought for sure that he would bring out his Beloved White Gouache at the end, but instead he used a colored pencil. What a twist!

So beautiful, I love it. Definitely make more flower themed videos.

[lukaivanisevic]

I love how your videos stayed profesional and same over years and that is really cool.

This is a great video! I feel like I could draw a rose now. I'd love to see more about drawing flowers and plants. Thanks, Mark! Youdabest!

You are fantastic at drawing roses. I stopped drawing them for a few years and needed a refresher, your cheery teaching actually helped me become BETTER than I was before and learn how to use the shadows right. Thanks for being awesome.

Thank you.
I see that lot of people are asking for more videos, drawing and painting flowers, please do.
I really appreciate your effort.
Best wishes.

I've watched many tutorials about drawing and painting roses, and this is the best yet. Many thanks!

I have Mark in my top 5 favorite YouTubers and he really is an amazing artist.

I am your biggest fan!!!! I begged my parents for your books and for my birthday they got me all of them!!! Then I ran to my room, yelled thank you and went through them page by page!

Thank you for taking the mystery out of drawing a rose! This presentation was so helpful to me!

[equesdeventusoccasus]

Definitely make more videos on plants, planters & garden gnomes. Seriously, garden gnomes give us a chance to learn how to draw faces that aren't perfect or perfectly human.

Next time, can you draw various potted plants to add as decor in comics?

[beckymunro]

I just found this video now, but the pencil really adds something. It really makes it look like the wilting around the edges.

This is the best rose tutorial I have seen and I have watched many over the past year.

[peaccy]

literally the best artist I have ever found, and is the person who has inspired me the most to draw

June is traditional for weddings, so roses are perfect right now. Also perfect foe me personally. I'm doing a self-imposed 30-day hand study challenge and just last night wanted to add a rose, but didn't feel like I had the concept of it clearly enough (I actually worked off of your hand holding a sword video!). Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and making art so much more accessible.
