I loved you manga eyes video. It really gave me something to think about and made me think a little bt harder on what eyes I should use for the people I like to draw.
Did you draw those eyes? Are they original? If so, you’re amazingly creative. This helped me think about the way I draw eyes, and I think this will just help me in general for drawing manga.
P.S. Cassie Morris, The videos are not Mike’s unless this post was made by Mark Crilley using a fake name. The videos are by Mark Crilley.

You know Yen? I’m her friend Louise. She told me you’re a manga artist, I really like all the eyes. When Yen showed me a copy of the eyes, I thought ‘how could he think of so many?’
Then she told me how she rubbed one off. LOL.
