wow! thanks for the helpful tips! Never would hav thought to start with a silhouette. Thanks for motivating me to keep drawing Jazza!

Something that I've come to love with Jazza's sponsored videos, is that they actually make sense, and it doesn't ever feel forced. I am subscribed to a lot of people on youtube doing sponsored videos, and so many seem to do it just because it makes money... And often the video has nothing to do with the product or ogranization that is being collaborated with. Jazza actually has a genuine interest in the sponsors, and goes into depth on why they are great, and also try out the products beforehand, to be able to give a great review. And also how he plans to not have 5 sponsored videos in a row.. haha! Love you and your work, Jazza :)

just like to express my gratitude for the video Jazza

MUST... TRY!!!!! MY LAZINESS HAS OVERCOME MEEE

I hate school. I like art.

CONGRATS ON 900,000K!!!! Road to one million!

The amount of information you manage to get through in such a productive, easy to understand way is absolutely invaluable. Keep up the fantastic work, Jazza!

I never even thought about doing rough thumbnails before getting into sketching a character. I tried it out for the first time after watching this video and it has really helped. Makes it a heck of a lot less frustrating when trying to figure out what pose, body type, and possible props you want. Can't wait to get to some of the other tips!

The immediate spike in Jazza's shading quality in this video is staggering. A better endorsement than anything that could've been said out loud. This website has already impressed me and I've never even been on it.

jazza I just gotta say, thank you, every time I watch you videos I get inspired to draw. your content really sparks my artistic side and I get excited to draw again, ive procrastinating for days but now I want to draw

Almost 900K ! 😱😱😱

Jazza you help me so much.. i constantly find myself going through your videos and learning new thing's! maybe one day i can be as good as you. you're my personal hero! thank you!

wow... that non destructive tip makes so much sense after seeing it. I already knew it could happen I just didn't think about this way of using it! Thank you that helps so much.

I always seem to be lost on what to do, but when I stumble upon one of your videos, I get back on track. Your instructions are amazing! Thanks Jazza!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO JAZZA!!!!!!!! It has helped me so much already and I absolutely love using silhouettes instead of construction lines, it really helps me get proportions and poses correct in a much faster period of time, and I loved the ideo of making everything black and white first because it really helps you even out the shading before coloring it, YOU ARE THE GREATEST JAZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!! Also, i have a bunch of friends who are artsy like me, so im sharing this video with all of them because of how useful it is!

I absolutely LOVE Patrick Brown! I took that class and loved it so so much

Jazzas bringing in the MONEY with all these sponsorships!! Flare games Skillshare Wix CONGRATS jazza!!

Patrick brown is so amazing. all his work is so detailed. He first got me interested in digital work.

This was super useful, especially the smart object part and the colour wheel. Thanx Jazza

From a french fan, your channel is wonderful, thanks a lot for all your vidéos Jazza !!

Loved this video and I am going to look into these courses for things to do over winter break. This video is an awesome example of how to do a paid sponsorship and still deliver meaningful content to your subs. Also great job on the blacksmith, awesome to see you can still keep applying things to your work and develop further as an artist. Thanks Jazza!

you are so god darn good at what you do I am jealous, keep up the good work man!

I'm getting a tablet and laptop for Christmas so this is really helpful. Thanks Jazza love you!

Thx for this Jazza. Been looking for a different way to paint

This is eye opening, thank you so much xD Halfway through my final year project doing Concept art and this couldn't have come at better time

I took a college course that mostly used tip number 2, and expanded on it. Going through that while watching *your* videos has really boosted my own artwork, and it's possible the uni I'm at now thinks I'm suitable for animation rather than just straight film.

I sort of knew a few of these, and I've watched maybe a couple of those videos in the past, but this was an incredibly informational video. Thanks so much for sharing these super useful tips!

so helpful, i cant wait to play with some of these tips for later projects! thanks Jazza!

I just bought a graphics tablet a few days ago and was looking for a good video with some tips. Thanks Jazza!

This video was really helpful and thank you for sharing those tips you learned.

Thank you Jazza! I always look forward to your videos. :)

what a great compilation of tips! thanks alot for this!

this is one of most helpful videos youve ever made (which is saying a lot, your videos are always incredibly helpful)

Hey Jazza, I recently got my first drawing tablet and your videos have been of so much help and you're such an inspiration to me, after your videos I'm always motivated to draw (:

You're sure right about a platform like Skillshare being worth it. I've been there only a couple months off an on, but I've learned quite a bit. Stuff I've learned over years of picking KZfaq apart, nicely compiled in some of courses. This stuff is super important for speeding up workflows. Nicely presented and sweet concept! I also learned something with smart objects being affected non-destructively. That's useful. Also a couple tips for those in the comments. The navigator is neat for seeing the whole thing without having to zoom out all the time, but even better you can go to Window>Arrange>New Window for (document name) and you get a second window you can move out of the way. The bonus is you can do this multiple times and have different areas of your painting visible in different windows- even popping out to a second monitor if you've got it. You can keep an eye on your values even after you move to color by going to View>Proof Setup>Custom... you get a popup and in the "Device To Simulate" dropdown you pick sGray. Now you can toggle a grayscale only view of your image with View>Proof Colors (ctrl+Y). Then you could apply this to just one of the image windows like in the previous tip. With the dodge and burn tools, in addition to the ranges of highlights, midtones, and shadows, you can adjust the exposure of the tool to dial back the harshness. There are soooo many tips. Just keep adding them to your mental bank as you see them and work like a pro :)

Thanks to you, I have created my first digital painting without big issues although I never used any art related programme in my life. I have difficulty following instructions this is why i usually learn on my own . But your videos are really informative, and very helpful, thank you. Sincerely .

thx. Really inspired me KZfaq needs more channels like you

I love your videos!!! I spend 95% of my time KZfaq watching your art and tips. Great Job!!!

You make it look so easy!!! Gar, your good!!

This is an amazing video! thank you so much much Jazza! you have helped a struggling college student in need!

thank you so much Jazza. You're my favorite artist.

These are really good tips Jazza. Thank you.

hi jazza, today i fell on my face at school, i got several injuries that were stitched and my jaw is broken. this video made me forget the pain and i really enjoyed it, so i just wanted to say thank you sooo much

Thanks Jazza tried out skillshare and I am absolutely loving it so far!

This was so helpful, thank you Jazza!

I'm an aspiring digital artist, and I've watched hundreds of videos on art and character design and this is by far the most resourceful video I've came past. There's been a million times I could have used these tricks.

This is so helpful!! Thank you so much Jazza!!

Thanks mate, currently studying digital animation, tips helped a ton.

This was awesome, I learnt so much! Thanks Jazza 🙌🏼

Last time I was this early Jazza posted his singing videos lmao

This video has been extremely valuable to me, thank you!

This was gold dust! Thank you so much- learned a lot :)

This was a real help, thank you a lot!

Fantastic collection of tips. Thanks a lot

I always loved your artwork Jazza, but you're evolving so much these days, or showing all you knew maybe, but your artwork in this video in particular has a so different look, amd it's awesome!!!

I love your idea on character design jazza!!:)

Yay! Thank you for sharing, Jazza ^^

very very well put v video jazzeza! thanks for reminding it so methodically

Thanks so much for the tips :) also bought your book just now! Great to see it's available here in Luxembourg.

You are quite easily one of my favourite artists on youtube. I've learnt so much from watching you. Thanks! :)

this video is incredibly helpful, thank u so much

I'm stunned at the level of difference when the dodging and burning is applied :O

Jazza, your work inspires me.

Hey, Jazza I know its impossible for you to be able to read this but if your reading this, your vids helped alot and I improved alot. Especially for the background,shading,lighting,shape and coloring. While I was watching your "my weakness"(background) video I saw you drawing from silhouette, I guess... and I gave it a shot and it turned out better than I thought. Thank you for helping not only me but lots of other people. Your a big inspiration. I congratulate you for being a successful youtuber. I'm grateful you made it this far. Have a nice day! Again, Thank You.

Thank you jazza, I needed these tips because I am getting photoshop so I can draw better art. I need the tips. AHHHH

You have no idea how great it felt to flip the canvas and have something that still looked good for the first time. I wish I could relive that moment 👌🏾☺️

I just found your channel AND I LOVE IT! You just got another sub

Thank you for this video! It really help us to boosts up our talent!

This video makes me want to start to create digital characters more. Very good

Thank you sooo much for those tips! I thought I was pretty good with using Photoshop for my digital art but I've definitely learnt SOOO much helpful stuff from this

Loving this. Thank you very much!

You've stepped up your game Jazza! Nice work.

Oh my sweet dark lord, that 5th tip is such a game changer for me! Thanks for sharing Jazza

Been studying this painting approach for a long LONG ass time myself and never really understood the approach 100%, most likely due to me having a weird way understanding explanations at times. So watching yours I didn't really expect to get to know much that I had already been told or learned before, but I must admit you had me go "Ooooooh! Never looked at it like THAT before." So thanks alot, for this Jazza :D

wow man! thanks for the awesome video, some solid info here! thanks again.

Love your videos, thanks for the tips.

thank you so much for this video! it is joy to learn with you ♥

Great tips, will definitely play around with those! By the way, one trick I use a lot is clip adjustment layers to a layer, smart layer or group. Gotta love non-destructive workflow!

I appreciate your vids so much Jazza! This is my new fav :)

you're the best. you have great tutorials. hope to see more from you! :)

Really enjoyed this and learned so much.

Great video Jazza love your channel!

This is exactly what I need for my game! Thanks!

thank you so much! this got me startet on skillshare and I like it so far :)

Awesome! Thanks Jazza, i love watching your videos and I just recieved your book Draw with jazza: Creating Characters. Im new to drawing but I love it so much! Cheers!

I want Jazza to hit 1 mil before new year!!

Congrats for 900 000 subscribers jazza

Just discovered your channel. You’re an amazing teacher!

Thanks! I need all the help I can get! 👍

Thanks for shouting out my class! :D Greatly appreciate it :) Awesome work

this is fabulous. thanks for sharing!

Great tut! Thanks man!

Thank you so much this is extremely helpful

Great tips. Thank you!

I LOVE THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH

Loved this video. I mainly use Illustrator to draw/design coz I'm not really much of an artist so being able to create shapes and work with that is really helpful for me, but I'm definitely gonna try and do some more drawing in Photoshop now that I've seen this.

Patrick Brown has been my idol for so long!!!!! God, his skills are beyond my comprehension, I aspire to be as great someday! Wait, is he not also from Australia? What is it with the talented artists who inspire me living down under? Also, great to learn more about the plethora of Photoshop tools! I've dabbled with older versions in school and gained a shallow understanding, and it seems like the optimal program to use when I one day get a drawing tablet...one day... Fantastic tips, amazing character! Thank you!
