“STOP MOVING!” The battle cry of portrait artists everywhere.

The Keanu Reeves sketch kinda looks like Chris Pratt cosplaying John Wick

Jazza: *moves the phone by a centimeter* “Inky” design: *straight up levitates off the floor*

I am a Canadian sphinx who watched this video, and I feel called out--

“Add some axes” Jazza: “Instructions unclear. Almost died.”

Jazza: I think a cat is a good place to start _flashback to the printer drawing cat_

When I used the app, the first step was always to draw a cross in the middle of the page, just for the app to have something to “reference”. The picture jumped around a lot less.

Art tutorials be like : Step 1 : draw rough shapes as a scetch Step 2 : finish the drawing

Kinda like trying to trace your favourite cartoon character off a tv screen, but forgetting to press pause!

Conclusion: get a light pad for like 15 bucks and print out whatever picture you like if you want to get better at drawing

Eyes and chin: Markiplier Lips and hair: Keanu Reeves Jawline and cheeks: Chubbybunny

Every art tutorial; You draw this *now add details* Theirs: Beautiful Mine: A thing that came out of a horror movie

When trying to make a drawing of a cat stay still, but they behave like an actual cat.

Here are some tips on drawing dragons: 1. Draw a dragon

“Some people like a good cry... myself included” *flashbacks to French Jazza

I love how much he is proud of himself with that axe joke.

I mean, we've never seen Keanu Reeves and Markiplier in the same room.

Product ad: NOW YOU CAN TRACE, BUT ITS HARD AS HELL !

Remember when he started making those foam art tools to go in front of his mural

“Oh my GOD, what is THAT thing?” *gets triggered because it looks INCREDIBLY like my cat Kiki*

For murals, there already exists this ancient technology called a projector (either a video projector, an overhead transparent film projector, or even a slide projector will work) that you can project an image onto a wall with.

“I saw an ad and I thought that’s worth trying.” FAMOUS LAST WORDS!!

Thank you for the honest review, Jazza! We improve SketchAR every day, and your review is constructive. We love what you're doing and would be happy to meet you in LA or Vilnius in person to give you Hololens. P.S: Actually, SketchAR works much better on the iPhone. Cheers, team SketchAR

"Nobody would feel comfortable drawing like that" *laughs in tiktok artist*

Cue Jazza having a breakdown at 3:53 Me: I feel your frustration with every fibre of my being

Use AR cr-App to learn to draw... a few minutes later Draw level: 0 Assassin level: 100

11:42 - 12:02 He just summed up the entire reason I fell in love with this channel. In 20 seconds.

7:14 Ah yes, System Of A Down, nice Chop Suey! Cover

2:24 I missed this weapon

Cheaper and less troublesome version: buying a lightboard and print the drawing you want to sketch

I think it's time we get a "My art style is called 'I Tried'." shirt .

3:58 STAY THE FU- Woah, slow down there cowboy

As a mathematician, I approve of your "axes" joke :)

It reminds me of the times I used to trace projector images when I was a child, except this is more intrusive and less reliable.

get an osmo drawing kit. they’re for kids but they work so much better than this. all you need is an ipad

When he put on the wig....I lost it 😂😂😂👏👏

Jazza: *Attempting to draw Keanu Reeves* SketchAR: "Did you mean Keanu LEAVES?"

the app is sketchy... ...i'll see myself out

6:27 I made a boom arm trypod phone holder thingy, its a old lamp (looks like the pixar lamp) and I took off the light part and replaced it with a phone try pod. LoL

7:15 Chop Suey!

"That's the butt. That's a major butt." - Jazza, 2020 (12:18)

I will ask you to try sculpting with knead able erasers every day until you do (Day 1)

Maybe they should design it for one of those vr headsets instead, having one hand hold something in place while drawing would make most people mess up

7:11-7:15 can be an alarm if loud enough😂😂😂😂

Jazza: Let’s draw a Canadian Sphinx Me: *a Canadian* You’ve summoned me?

Pulls out axes “We have fun here”

I tried this app and you don't have to pay, just hit back button when they ask. Also, it must have improved in the last year and a half as it worked brilliantly. No jumping around at all and like I said the portrait courses that Jazza did is completely free. So if you are watching this I'd take the review with a pinch of salt and try for yourself. Love your channel Jazza. Always fun.

3:05 is the universal experience every artist can relate to. Either you’re currently learning how to draw and all of the drawing books are like this, or you’re more experienced and remember seeing the “now add simple shading” steps in your old books.

KZfaq: *31 comments* Me: Sooo can I see them? KZfaq: *No*

11:02 "It's breath taking" "You're breathtaking" "Brooo.." "Broo.."

Not going to lie, I laughed harder than I should have at the Axes bit. I wasn't expecting Jazza to actually bring out two axes.

A lot of this could be remedied with implementing some system recognizable marks on a page (3 dots, a small shape. Something easy that is removable) that the AR can use to immediately anchor itself to. It would also help to include a recalibration option for the user to implement at will, rather than waiting for the AR to figure it out or constantly recalibrate itself.

When I was in middle school I used to wish I could put in contact lenses that essentially did just this, but for math and essay questions on tests.

I think they should re-brand and sell it as a *FrustratAR.* “For too content people, get yours now!” “Warning: occasional art may occur, but its rare.”

Go on sports center’s insta and scroll till you see the Kobe and Gigi art works made in the fish bowl with sand. It’s pretty dope and you should try it. It’s like they used colored sand and put the colors near the side of the glass and it makes a picture. It looks really cool and you should try it

You should try printmaking again and use Blick ink because it can wash off making it so that the block does not get layers of paint on it, plus it doesn't make the paper stick to your print

There are people saying "WoW This WaS grEat" Yet this came out like 4 minutes ago Edit : Sorry if I offended anyone because someone mentioned people can skip

7:15 *GRAB A BRUSH AND PUT A LITTLE MAKEUP*

Thanks for sharing your experience with the interesting technology. You have more patience than I in contending with the wandering outline. Maybe if the camera was not angled, the projection would be stable...?

2 things: 1) “Some people like a good cry” I don’t but when I start I can not stop for a good 5 minutes bc ALL OF MY SELF DOUBT just comes around like “hello yes I am here now” 2) and this is why I take photos of myself to use as a base for my drawings when I’m drawing any human because humans are just hard in general

I love seeing Jazza lose his mind trying to get the image to stay in place

Jazza: Alright kitty just stay still... Kitty: nope. Nopppe nooooooo. No. No no no. No thank you. Byeee. I think kitty is scared of pencils.. jazza be gentle with him!🥺

You should do a bottle dragon! Most people use smaller alcohol bottles and wrap the dragon around it. You could try to do a realistic dragon around a bigger bottle. At least I think that would be cool! Also love your art and creativity as well as your challenges! Keep up the good work!

SketchAR: exists Jazzy: I’m gonna end this app’s whole career...

“Let’s a-go!”, JAZZA NO THATS COPYRIGHT!

The question is: where is the learning effect, when there somebody is just tracing the lines without even have to think about it or about the sense of the single steps? Though a great video over an app, which is probably completely useless ;) Greetings from Austria to Australia :)

i tried this out for myself, and a few things Jazza didn’t mention, are: 1.) The camera on your phone will constantly go in and out of focus causing what you’re trying to trace to go blurry. 2.) They have this 3D bird character that shows up on your screen to give you tips, and as you try to draw, he constantly sits on top of your drawing so that you can’t see what you’re doing and there’s no way to get him to go away. 3.) If you don’t want to pay or can’t afford it, the free version only gives you one thing to draw and it’s a cartoon-y penguin. There are no other options, forcing you to have to pay in order to truly use the app. Aside from those, the app constantly crashed on me as well, and he was 100% right about the depth perception thing! I found myself constantly trying to look past my phone to see what i was trying to trace, only to realize i’d forgotten that the image isn’t actually on the paper lol This app has great intentions, but needs a whole lot of work and a whole lot of improvements before i could say it would be worth spending any money. I do have Jazzas app, and i’ve had it for years! It genuinely is a lot better than this and is a ton of fun!! I believe it’s only .99 or 2.00? It’s been awhile from the time of purchase, but i’m still using the app 5 years later haha

The infomercial with the wig was the best part. The smile at the end 👌 you nailed it man. I've seen that you've watched many a infomercials lmao

One thing I want to point out is the phone. Most of the footage the person looks to be using a Galaxy S10+ 5G that phone specifically has a ir laser camera for AR. I think it would work better there.

There’s an app for kids called osmosis masterpiece that does a similar process however it’s a static image not AR Jazza should try it

Here's a cool challenge idea: paint a detailed picture of a famous gaming character with whatever type of paint you want... but there's a catch, you can only use vertical brush strokes at a 90 degree angle in relation to the bottom/top of the canvas. (you would be allowed to start with a pencil drawing that does not apply to this rule) Meaning the "curved" sections will appear blocky giving it a pixel art like look. If you really want to make things interesting you could limit yourself to the sort of CGA graphics color palette.

Start using ohuhu they’re much more vibrant and cheaper but still really good quality They are getting a new line of brush tips soon so you might like them I’m sorry it’s 3 am and I’m trying to give art advice to a professional I’m a bit dumb

"How do you explain how uncomfortable it would be to draw while also holding a phone?" The guys who made sketchAR: That's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience

6:33 ok boom arm.

Jazza: *yells at augmented cat to stay still when it doesn't want to be* Me: As a cat owner, I can say that this is 100% accurate. Good job developers! You recreated the experience of trying to draw/photograph/do anything with a non-sleeping cat ^_^

Try drawing Mr Squiggle style. Marionette with a pencil nose and everything.

There is potential here, but this is a classic case of style over substance when building an app. They opted for a flashy real-time AR projection when in reality they could've just put a "lock" button on the screen that would make the projected image stay in place and not wobble to avoid your hands. Lastly, just add something like "tripod strongly recommended" to the store page and there you have it, much more useful.

8:14 Me: *always holds my phone while drawing to look at references* Oh...

CopyDraw is a nice AR drawing program. You print out a #CopyDraw logo and tape it to your canvas or paper (or wall). That feature really helps keep your phone centered much better. As long as your phone doesn't auto-focus too much.

You had me in tears watching this video!! Omg thank you so much! I've recently been trying to figure out what will work for me to put my own art on something small like sneakers and tattoos so ur video was really helpful! I subscribed to see more of you :) any suggestions on what I could use for my situation?

Jazza: let's draw the Canadian Sphynx Me, a Canadian: oh... I thought they were from Egypt....😖 Edit: I googled it and apparently they originate from Toronto. The more you know!

Jazza: uses an art app Also Jazza:get jazza's arty games

Haha that's so funny, I used this app not long ago and I ALSO pulled out a boom arm. Well, I dont have a boom arm, but I improvised one out of an accordion-like clamping desk lamp, a phone tripod and gaffer tape. Or GaffA teip, as we say in Norway. So now I would love to see you make Gazza - a sculpture/wall art/ street art/ some form of a Jazza but in Gaffa tape. Hehe. Love your videos!!

Interesting concept, cool video! Some ideas prompted by this video: Do a mural-type drawing using a small projector for tracing (so sort of like this, only you're augmenting reality the other way 'round; I'm actually blind in one eye so my depth perception is limited, but it never occurred to me that this would prove an issue to people while drawing. Could you try drawing with an eyepatch to find out how much you rely on stereo vision?

Hey jazza I am also from Australia and I watch all your videos you've inspire me to make art and I have improved because of you so thank you so much

I don't understand why there isn't a mode with a fixed photo that just requires a fixed phone. 🤔

Next video idea : Draw with sketchAR but with VR headset .

I think it would be cool Jazza, if you could make a video where you try doing diorama/resin art. I think it would be a great new thing for you to try out.

Me: scrolling down my playlist saw Jazza uploaded a vid 8 mins ago *doesn't notice and scrolls down* wait.. *finally realizes* HOLD UP

Try drawing a few points on the corners of the blank paper, so it knows how far away it is and how the camera moves

I have no idea how I started watching these videos but I keep coming back.

I still would like to see Jazza try wood burning and/or painting on magic the gathering cards

No one:........... Jazza: “ im a professional artist “ Also jazza: “let me use a traceing app”

That feeling you get when you film a whole lot of footage to realise there a smudge on the camera the whole time. Definitely happened to us all! I can't stop seeing it in the middle of your front on camera. ;)

I saw a ad that does this before this video it’s called Da Vinci Eye: AR Art and it costs A$7.99 in Australia I don’t know how much it costs in America or any other country

They should have added some tracking points that can be drawn or printed out and just stuck on to the surface of where you wanna draw so that the camera can just lock on to those points and the app wouldn't need to "find" the surface. That way if the lines have a solid place to be at all times without constant recalculations. You should also have an option to say "STAY!" where you tell it that no matter what don't calculate anything. This would be for when you have your phone in a stable position like on a boom thingy. Overall it has all the potential in the world and will probably be amazing in 10 years but I doubt they will keep working to get it right.

"and you know how i feel... about... *_qualifying things_* "

Me:Draws a guy holding a sword.... Also me: *looks at Jazza's drawing*.... Jazza:Its so bad... Me: End My Frickin Life

Even if you are a good drawing artist (freehand) a lightboard or projector saves a lot of time. But an art projector is very expensive and so are lightboards. The cheapest solution is tracing paper or an Etchr mirror but of course, they have limits. This app is a super cool idea and I hope the companies will find a way to correct the app so it will work. I would buy it in an instant.

I left an absolutely scathing review of this on the app store and I stand by it. Sometimes I get "stuck" in a particular drawing and want to compare my drawing to the reference image. If you're in the same boat I'd recommend the free snapseed app and just open your image, then add the image as a double exposure. And it lets you warp the image if you took it at a bad angle or something. But *occasionally* SketchAR works kind of well and it's nice. Very rarely.
