The brush is the only one that feels like a finished artwork

In the end, the winner is the artist who knows how to properly use it. Don’t eat it.

The winner is the pencil. He carried them to heros

Best for precision: Pen Best range of line weights: Brush pen Most versatile: Brush

The brush won. As the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Brush, definitely. The picture just looks like it goes deep if that makes sense.

Winner: Jazza. Jazza could use a twig and still create outstanding art.

Brush, hands down created the most alive character. I can see how he would move. Perhaps his pose plays into it too, but it definitely looks the best

Brush work. Shading, Gradient and just unlimited potential it has is just a timeless classic

This feels like a beginner, intermediate, then advanced progression in character design art supplies. The pen is standard and reliable but is limited on lines, the brush pen is more in depth but takes experience to control, then the brush is in its own entire ballpark but creates amazing artwork.

That brush was really impressive. Simple, elegant, expressive, and (perhaps) surprisingly powerful!

I just watched his "KZfaqrs as chairs" video and had to find another one of his to get the normal Jazza back

It’s DEFINITELY the brush. It gave you a full illustration without having to reach out for another weapon.

“There’s nothing wrong with being proud of yourself” I think all artist should hear that

Jazza:”the pen is mightier than the sword” Shad:*mutters in medieval*

POV: You’re here after his new video just to see him sane and less awkward again.

The brush brought a gun to a knive fight. Not even fair but yes, brush takes the win

the brush has been around for thousands of years for a reason.

I love that you decided to compliment yourself on your first drawing. It was awesome but as artist its good to remind yourself that its important to like what you're doing.

They're all useful in their respective purposes and will look great when used properly or hot garbage if not. One can always shade with a regular pen and create gradients with a brush pen too, while brushes may be harder to control for others. Real useful tool is the one you master to use.

the brush illustration is just like on a different level than the other two. The others feel like coloring-book drawings or sketches waiting to be colored it, where the brush illustration feels more complete

You didn't make combatants, you made a friend group.

anyone else noticed that the "Pen Character" is a *PILOT*, as in Pilot Pen

I absolutely love the look of the brush

Winner: brush Why: surprised me with its capabilities of linings, shading and because i think ninja master would easily win a fight against a future chick and buff soldier.

Jazza: *tells us to fight in the comments* all the top comments: yeah we all agree brush wins jazza: *.__.*

The brush absolutely won. It’s the most complete artwork of the three. It’s freaking beautiful. Ultimate winner Jazzer! Good freaking job man

I like how the brush pen one is more bold, and so it allows for illustrations to really pop and it can kinda give off a glossy finish. But the brush however is just super versatile, you can do more than just draw with it, he just flicked it to create special effects

There's a key word about the brush. .. "Timeless", its design and versatility doesn't get old

Hands down the BRUSH wins. The amount of variety not just in line weights, but in ability to color and shade is a tremendous advantage.

Brush without a doubt wins. As in many things the hardest to use is the most versatile and when you have the skill it performs the best

I've been wanting to see this for a while and it's one of my favorites! I love the look and feel of all the pens, but the brush really is making me want to practice ink illustration.

PEN = Professional freelancer - Clean, quick, controlled. BRUSHPEN = Hobbyist - Instagram artist, Sometimes a bit messy, Outstanding results. BRUSH = That one kid that was always alone, hard to socialize with. But when you gain his trust, and he shows you his artbook... You are blown away with the expression/emotion he shows trough his art. Brush is clear winner imo.

I love how the brush was referred to like the older one, the original, but presented as the under dog, then reached into its sleeve and showed these foolish young pupils the secret techniques of the ancient masters. Brush wins hands down in terms of standalone ability.

This has convinced me to give brush and ink a try. I've always been a mix media artist but shy to try brush and ink because it always felt archaic and intimidating but seeing the results has blown my mind and I'm considering using this style for a couple of my characters now

Dude you knocked it out of the park with this one. Great comparison and your characters nailed the essence of each tool. Really helped visualize the strengths and limitations of each pen/brush.

Winner: Brush Why: The brush is an artistic essential, it has been used for thousands of years not for no reason, it is diverse, satisfying to use, has a really nice feel to it, and the feeling of spacing out while painting and getting comfortable from the repeating dipping and expressing yourself on the canvas is really nice, plus I have always been a fan of the old school traditional methods, I have tried pens, brushpens, markers and so on but nothing ever felt for me like painting with a brush or drawing with a pencil, in my opinion those two are the best

Honestly, it depends on the artist, not the artwork, a skilled person can do anything even with cheap and minimal resources. While an inexperienced person may have exquisite supplies but still fail to create even an average artwork.

That was an impressive impression of the history of art tools! Loved the way the content (and art of course 😉) came out. I felt I was on point, but on reasons why, you found some astounding reasons. Mind blown 🤯

This guy is a master of his craft not just with his illustrations but with his content I follow him over on skillshare and he is a very good educator and not just in the information he provides but with in the way he does it and educator is only as good as he is in the ability to keep you engaged and entertained

The brush simply is more versatile , it's like you. It's good at everything

jazza: let's go back to the roots of art Me: _time to squish some berries_

The brush piece is beautiful, detailed expressive and draws the attention of the viewer straight away, it has contrast, a mix of detail and simple areas of black, I love it , it's all in all an aesthetically and technically sound piece

The artwork you made using the the brush is amazing. 10/10

the real winner is the art we made along the way

First Place: The Brush Second Place: The Brush pen Third Place: The Pen

I really liked this video. You've inspired me to finally order some illustration pens and try my hand at it. I got the Tombow set! I'd LOVE to see you do an illustration where all your characters team up, allowing you to use all 3 tools to their best. It would be really helpful to see how you might switch between them, especially so fresh off the comparison video.

Winner: All. A pen can have nice control over it and allow nice detail work, the brush pen can add some really nice line weight, and the brush can be used just like watercolor while it is still wet. All of them are great for their abilities.

The brush looks like it could be a finished piece, while the pens look like they are ready to color. All very cool.

Contestants: Pen Brush pen Brush The winner of today's challange is.............. Winner: brush The brush illustration looks more detailed and looks better than others

Brush was by far my favorite, it seemed way more versatile, I looked and felt like you were able to put so much more of yourself into the piece you and it provided way more depth than the others 🤯 I have got to expand my horizons thank you your content is top notch bro

This was a great video! Loved watching the comparisons

The winner is obviously the owner of the hand who used those three drawing utensils.

BRUSH, the unlimited possibilities to express your creativity with different techniques are just to powerful!

The brush. Not only does it look finished but has more depth and it gives you a bit of a feel of the world the character lives in.

gooood video bro, thank you, exactly what i needed !! i got 1 and 2 on order, thinking the brush is certailny worth the pennies too now, cant wait to try it !!!

I honestly really like the old school brush. It seems the most versatile and once you master it I can see it being absolutely an incredible tool

The brush, while being the most unhandy to use, also has the most potential.

The winner is the awesome paper.. that made brought everything together and started the masterpiece

Brush Pen Duke Nukem: "I'm here to draw lines and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta bubblegum!"

I'm not artist, heck I can't draw a straight line with a ruler, so take this from that point of view. The brush, ninja piece had so much more "heart". The splatter, and shading just brought the character to life for me.

I would say the third one, the brush one. He is exactly how I imagined him to be, very lively too, I feel like it is also more interesting to see, with the different techniques 👏

BRUUUSSHH!!! I absolutely love the classic old style and the techniques you can use. Plus the character fits perfectly and it’s the type of fighter I like. :)

Recently got a pen set as a gift. It has lots of liners and a brush pen. Started to use the brush pen and I can’t stop. My arts pretty messy but it’s a lot of fun and adding line weight is so much easier now!

I’m completely biased as a painter and fan of watercolor, but the brush illustration was just so cool. You can’t beat that ability to do shading and lots of different techniques.

“There’s nothing wrong with being proud of yourself” - Jazza, 2021

the brush was amazing, omg the illustration looks fantastic

The depth of the third image does it for me! Agree with the other comments as well saying it looks the most like a finished piece

Even though I prefer using a pen because it's so reliable and easy to control, I just can't bring myself to call it the best choice. The brush has so many tricks up its sleeve and it's so incredibly versatile that it has to take the cake for me.

I would say brush and ink for this kind of art. The first pen makes a little too clean and 'dead' feeling. The second is nice with some thicker lines etc, but the third feels like most artsy with the shading, the black filled areas and the little dots from the ink you can't get with the other two.

The brush is the best due to the added ability to create smooth gradients, expressive variation between lines, and the sheer versatility it provides, the end product the brush created speaks for itself.

It's not the tool tht is good but the ARTIST.....JAZZA makes it look so easy and used them so well...

Jazza: "I feel this illustration really represent what the brush pen feels like" A guy who skips leg day?

Take a shot every time Jazza uses his medium as a weapon for a character

the pen illustrations are awesome as usual :) But honestly I am loving the brush because it is more of an artwork. The watercolor-ness makes it gorgeous!

I just got the tombow fudenosuke and so far I love the hard and soft tip versions. then again I am a massive sucker for black watercolor paintings. No matter how old this video is it still holds up.

I feel like the average artist or dabbler as myself would just not be able to replicate the same results with the brush as jazza. He pushed it to the limit and showed how high the ceiling is for that medium. It looked like a complete piece and a polished presentation of the character while the others were screaming for coloration to be fulfilled. As usual, blown away by the talent and how effortless he makes it all seem.

Drawing Percy Jackson with the pen could have been cool, since his pen is his sword.

#3. The brush. It created an entire scene and full page of art versus just characters floating in space.

Your brushwork is superb, Jazza. I have the Pentel and, as a trained architect who's been watercoloring since 7, it is a pen I respect! =One Love= -A

can we just take a moment to appreciate how talented and skilled this mad is, my God dude that stuff takes some serious skill. big props to u Jazza.

the real winner is the group of people who saw the title as “brush vs brush pen vs brush” before it was edited

I recently started drawing again and i immediately and naturally gravitated towards Theses pens

I use brush & ink a lot, your brush illustration feels the most finished that the first two!

Jazza your brush pen dude looks like he missed leg day, everytime. Looks dope tho. Save some talent for the rest of us please

3 minutes in and Jazza has already referred to all 3 as a “brush pen”.

I am surprised. I have to say I like the brush effects the best :^) Wonderful video and illustrations!

Beginner here, but after watching this demo and learning "how to" , I bought a pocket brush and instantly loved it!!.....I'm also ordering a mini detailer! Thanks Jazza

Winner: Brush In reality it depend what you are doing, for "comic book" art the pen is clear winner, for an art piece you will color and possibly user markers to finish brush pen. if you were to make me a piece of art i want the brush one with shading.

Winner: Artist Why: He didn't drink the paint water Edit: 717 LIKES IN 7 HOURS?? YALL CRAZY NINJAS

the depth and utility/versatility of the brush seems to win by far :O until the end I was pretty set on the brushpen, but dang, that brush and how you can use it in comparison to the others, just seem so good.

Omg I’m in love with the brush drawing

I love how the brush pen caricature has all the arms but absolutely ZERO legs

The brush artwork is just so cool. That's probably just the artist, but hell yeah. Also, I actually use a fountain pen. Because you can't really find brush pens in SA and my family has a thing of collecting fountain pens, so, that's my go to choice.

All 3 pieces turned out really cool! But maaaaan the brush piece has so much mood and grit to it.. I have to give it the brush!

Oh my god the brush one is by far my favorite, it wins in my book because it looks like a full on finished illustration where as the other two look like they need color like they're just the line work

The pen: ol’reliable you can pick this up and just do a bit of doodling The brush pen: The chonky one be careful you will get very messed up if you can’t control how hard you press The brush: man this takes skill but with that skill you can do a lot more

“Whoever says the pen is mightier than the sword has not been stabbed with both” - Lemony Snicket

I think it depends on what you are looking for with each illustration and also the skill level you’re working with. For example, my skill level is fairly nil so I would have to use the easier to control option while someone with greater skill or experience could use the brush for much more impressive work. Also, Jazza, I love your art style. You’re a bad ass.

The level of depth gives the brush a clear distinction
