MY ART TEACHER PLAYED THIS VIDEO TODAY AT MY ART CLASS! Edit: can yall stop in the comment section saying my teacher was lazy and didn't do his work, the only reason he showed this was because he only wanted to show an example, he was an amazing chill teacher...I made this comment during my junior year in HS and thought "wow it's jazza I never thought he would be in my lesson!" I was just surprised? I'm sick and tired of yall trying to find an excuse to hate on my teacher especially when they get underpaid to do their job..he also showed this particular video because we we're learning how to do body postures for that specific art unit...anywho just wanted to make that clear.
I watched this three times. The first time I was deeply confused. The second I was less confused and started drawing my shitty deconstructions. The third time I finally understand the majority of what you stated and also my deconstructions are still shitty. It's to be expected when you're level 1 learning from a master. I'm learning how to draw. I think I leveled up a few levels. Thanks, Jazza.
@@InfinitePossibilities8888 hey can u explain the process im jus starting literally today and idk what to do i wanna learn how to draw my fav characters from comics
for me step 1: scribble a decent shape step 2: erase the useless lines step 3: realizing "erasing useless lines" means the whole drawing step 4: repeat
Do you ever have a problem where you're visualizing something, and then you go to draw it but you forget what you were visualizing? Not exactly completely forgetting, but enough to not know how to draw it?
I literally took notes while watching this. Also something to keep in mind, if you want to make a face look more feminine, make the hard edges more rounded. For instance in the jaw, instead of it being made of those three lines that Jazza mentioned, make it one curved line.
My God, now I believe that simplicity is the basis of complexity. I mean I didn't know where to start while drawing, but watching this video and others on physics of light, eyes and perspective made me realize how simple is everything that is around. It taught me actually "see" with my eyes, to observe. Thanks for video
When I started this I was talking to myself like : ‘I know you’re a perfectionist but you can’t do it good immediately’ It helped and the first one was great! Also thank you for making this!
Obligatory not an artist: I have never considered using actual people and making the lines based on that. I feel like that might actually help me learn to draw. This is the first of your tutorial videos I have seen and, I must say, very useful and informative. Also, yes: I realize this was posted 7 years ago, but one can never comment too far back on a favored creator's channel.
Jazza, I've been drawing for over a decade now and I still find myself going back to the basics. This is the most tangible construction video I've seen yet. You take something real like a wall and show what it takes to make it. A wall and a window is something very tangible and real and put it into an artistic context. Thank you Jazza.
Been 2 yrs? Go grab some favourite snacks, food or etc and try study and practice just like how I do at home everytime I feel upset I eat tasty delicious sweets and headigng back to practice
Dude thank you so much for all these videos as a young and developing artist myself (I also want to be a professional writer,chef and artist I know a lot of things but those are my passions and I have many others) but these videos really help me since I feel like my art is trash this gives me faith that my art isn’t trash and I can keep bettering in my art
He has come such a long way and I’m so proud of him! This video was how I discovered him and he became someone who I never thought he would be, one of my huge art inspirations! Thank you so much and I’m very proud and thankful for you. :D
great video! i kind of self taught this in highschool when i was trying to figure out how to draw 3d cars (as teenage boys do) an very quickly realised i was onto something, i transfered the idea to head shapes after that an kept going. Later on i found out this is how alot of people draw and i wasnt special lol

I only just started making instructional videos on UA-cam recently and you are one of the only ones I noticed who really breaks things down in an easy to understand way that beginners can actually follow it makes it a little frustrating since I'm like now what can I cover if Jazza did it better first? lol. I will still try and teaching others really helps my own skill improve as well. It is so satisfying when someone is able to understand and you see that light go on that shows that they get it and they start to enjoy art. That is what I enjoy and like to share and the reason I follow your channel more than others. You really show an enjoyment and understanding that others can easily feel.
I went back today to just remind myself of the basics because I've really been trying to improve my figures, and It made be realize that you taught me the base of what I have been doing for years. So thank you! I love drawing and creating characters and you really really helped me. Not just these fundamentals videos, but with all of your work. Seeing how much enjoy what you are doing, and how excited you always seem to be to try new things. I've been watching for years and am constantly inspired. Thank you!
Divio18 Practice is the best way to master proportions. I suggest trying to draw a bunch of construction skeletons in multiple poses on a regular basis, it helped a lot for me! Don't be shy to look up pictures of human bodies, having some references is quite handy.
I agree, proportions and perspective are the hardest things for me. I have a bad habit of jumping into things when I try to learn them and then give up because I try to do it as if I know everything rather than start with simple things. I'm finally trying to practice drawing and jazza is a big help and inspiration. I try to look at my horrible drawings as motivation to improve rather than reason to give up.
TheNahaw Same, I always want my drawings to be perfect somehow, even if I'm just starting to practice a specific thing like anatomy... and when I fail it's discouraging and I give up quickly... Although as you said, when I look at my old drawings I can tell I'm improving xD
TheNahaw If you look at old drawings that you put hard work and dedication into, and think the words "this looks like shit," you're getting better. That's what I always tell myself.
You just gotto also know how to draw it wrong so you can not do it, a feeling thing by itself. And you can always go from where you are and look at it.
Hi! I've just come across your channel and honestly I feel like you deserve way more fees and subscribers than you have now, I mean, your so amazing! You've helped me so much and I congratulate you for reaching half a million!
Great to see that every artistic activity is based on the same pattern. As a comedian, it's exactly what we need to do for the construction of a caracther : lay down the foundation and Structure of it. Then refine details, and then giving the texture, the shading, keeping in it the simplicity of the construction line we establish before. This construction allows us to play our caracther in any situations, perspectives and angles. Thanks for the non-intentional metaphor Jazz, thanks for reading my french-english that sucks and thanks for this brilliant work you are doing with such simplicity. Your construction line is on point :)
Dear Jazza, I've been aspiring to improve my art skills for a very long time now, as it is my only real skill and I've never been satisfied with it, and I have to say, I'm so glad to have discovered this awesome channel. I can't wait to watch and re-watch every single one of these videos, as they are some of the most relevant drawing tutorials to me, and I really do hope it all sticks and I can eventually draw to the level I've dreamt of. Cheers mate!
Thank you so much jazza I've been feeling really bummed out about my drawings lately and I considered tossing out my sketch pad. This helps bring me some motivation
After 6 years, these are still my favorite Jazza videos to watch. I love learning and seeing the creative process and gaining new tips and tricks I never thought about before
Being unskilled at drawing complex body parts, angles, facial expressions, eyes, nose, etc. Now being asigned to a task that I can't even do and doesn't have any experience (talking about animation). Just because my advisor wanted us ( a group of students who aren't experts in arts and animation) to compete against other schools in a short period of time ( since first week of September until September 24. Excuse me WTF.) Just wanna say thanks for everything.
Wish I could thank you personally for this. I've been an artist my entire life and always just accepted that I would never be able to draw people. But less than a week after watching this video, and I've already done 3 human pieces -- in VERY unusual positions -- and only one of them is still a WIP. I made some real strides thanks to this.
Aww you made me remember how 4 years ago I'd spend even 30 min to draw something like a human structure-sketch ^^ Practice makes perfect? you bet! It takes me 30 sec tops to do one now ^^
No prob man! It's well deserved! I've seen other tutorials and they don't go into nearly as much detail as you! You may have things like this, but maybe animating specific things like animals, robots, and particle effects? I've heard from other artists on UA-cam that particle effects aren't the easiest to create/animate. Keep it up man!
+Draw with Jazza Hey there Jazza, i got a question, i really love this, and i will always use this technique of construction, but how should i do it in paper? i am too poor to even get a drawing tablet, in the computer you can resize, easily erase anything, and lots of stuff you cant do in paper, i want to construct fast but i have it hard for doing it without having dark lines, its hard to keep the construction lines as light as possible, maybe just loosen the construction design for more sketchy but maybe that works? maybe the question im asking you is being already answered by myself right now? lol Please help, thanks! :)
***** It means that you buy them as digital files. You download them and then can see them on your PC, Tablet etc. :) Basically it does not matter where you live.
I'm so happy I found this. I cannot stress enough of how much this helped me and how much I improved in a day. Thank you Jazza, if it weren't for you and this video, I think I'd never in a million years figure out how to use my anatomy.
My teacher literally used this video as example for our homework. Jazza best person that can explain art. I'm glad my teacher used this as example lol, this is very good for me as a beginner
Hi Jazza, I like your explanation. Also, as a Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor, I explain to my students, in similar fashion. I do talk about 'The Centre Line,' for good postural alingement, how, and why, we have a strong skeletal system, muscles, tendons and ligaments, which i refer to, working like rubber bands.
+HagalazVA +Edgar Garcia You know it's a quite funny subject: Internet fights! Even more funny is that people start saying things such as pricks about people... BUT they only read like 2 messages! Without their whole life story of course ;) But what I mean it's really easy to start one: just react on any social media thing. YT, vines, Twitter, FB, Insta and SO ON! Hahahaha quite funny right? Oh and if you would like to you may call me a kid since I am really thirteen years old and I live in the Netherlands :D Sooooo just relax people!...
I think the most important thing to make the better drawing is not how much you practice every day but is about how much you love to make a batter drawing 😎😎😎
It's getting the angles right of something that's turned - like a head, and knowing how to keep the plane consistent with all the facial features _also_ looking like they're on the same plane, that I find tricky. Same as when Jazza rotated the hammer and the car. Drawing them flat-on is the easy bit, it's doing it once they've turned 45º that makes me fall over!
You are the man. I have been thinking recently of how to improve my drawing skills and also take my daughter down that road. I think this is the missing link I will watch and give updates as I go along. I’m at 2mins and already excited.
One thing I'm missing in this anatomy construction video is the measurements. I think you're drawing figures 7 heads high right? I was watching some of Sycra's videos awhile ago on his lightning technique for drawing the muscles on arms and legs and he uses an 8 heads tall method. It dawned on me that however helpful your videos have been on what fundamental shapes the male and female body consist of I don't remember you mentioning measurements (although I must admit I haven't watched them all yet) I think why some people watching this tutorial would have problems is because when they implement it the result isn't what they thought it would be. For instance when you draw that little line and dot for the nose and mouth explain why they go there and what the width is. The eyes are usually one eye width apart from each other etc.at what point do the elbows and knees start... When you draw it in 3D perspective you start foreshortening and that is the complicated bit for most because insight in measurement is crucial then. You're absolutely right when you say that people will just have to observe and practice so they will get a feeling for those 'accordion bends'. I'm still at that stage right now so I know. But some won't get that and perhaps get discouraged to continue as a beginner Between you and Sycra's videos though I've already learned so much the past month. I'm already drawing and painting robots in all kinds of complicated poses and perspectives. Followed an art class for about half a year over ten years ago and learned nothing so I gave up. I was just drawing two pillows with charcoal on paper the whole time. But I somehow stumbled onto your tutorials and they inspired me to buy an Intuos and give it another try. I'm so glad I did. So this is by all means merely CONSTRUCTIVE criticism ;) pun intended of course
I've actually decided to take up figure drawing classes and start a group to go out people sketching. Those are probably the best ways to learn what things are common as opposed to what is personal
The last bit about breaking objects into basic shapes and then putting it on another angle really helped! I just we able to draw my first basic car! I feel great about my abilities just with that advice.
i'm gonna start picturing the crf like a crowd chant. over and over with the crowd chant from when i start drawing. I'm refreshing my self on the basics again.
For the first few minutes: okay I got this Jazza- now we are gonna make our own pose Me- Okay this will be easy 10 seconds later- is to stressed out to continue
Dude the things you mention as consequences for doing things the wrong way, you get me, that comisery was as valuable as the very well explained theories!
Thank you. Seriously, thank you so much, this is the best explanation I’ve ever heard, and that’s coming from someone who’s spent at least 5 hours watching anatomy videos
I'm so happy I found your video, the frame lines has always been my weakest part of my drawings, jazza truly thank you. As I'm currently looking to create a body of work based around my family, in a dragonball/comic book direction.
This series is absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for all the hard work you put in it! Learning to draw proportions by copying the process of a pro is much easier than trying to copy from a photo or painting, and you are amazing at explaining! I've been drawing with you for 2 hours straight, I've already learned so much!
I ended up with a velociraptor head instead... what? Then I redid it... now I have a human. I’m better with drawing weapons and monsters, my favorite is medieval... I also watch shad for that reason.
Has nobody thanked Jazza for helping some guides to you guys?Cause This is my comment Jazza Thank you for helping me and I'm trying to be good,but you helped me a little and watching your vids has been making me a good artist not pro enough but soon I'll be like you,helping others so they can be a good artist.Thank you so much.
Wow ! This video was really useful ! This video is a revelation for me, i could never draw realistic looking face and I just did it for the first time in my life! Awesome ! Thanks!
I am almost 35 years old and starting drawing, but I was almost sure I wont get enough motivation. This is a good explanation why and how to still do try it. Good explanation (even for me, as non-native! english)
Hey Jazza, I watched this video probably about a month ago and I’ve learned so much from it and I would like to thank you as now I can draw a character pose quite successfully and it has really changed my point of view on art. So once again, thank you and I love your vids.

Jazza: imagine to yourself that you want to build a wall..
Donald Trump: Hmm...A wall huh?
X RED LEADER X with a window in it.
X RED LEADER X I never knew Trump wanted to draw....
Trump: Meh... Screw the window.
Lol😁😁😛
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!
I used to have one of those national geographic 'how your body works ' skeletons. That helped me with anatomy
HE SAID; "AND ALL THAT JAZZ' I'm dead.

Being unskilled at drawing complex body parts, angles, facial expressions, eyes, nose, etc.
Now being asigned to a task that I can't even do and doesn't have any experience (talking about animation). Just because my advisor wanted us ( a group of students who aren't experts in arts and animation) to compete against other schools in a short period of time ( since first week of September until September 24. Excuse me WTF.)
Just wanna say thanks for everything.
Wish I could thank you personally for this. I've been an artist my entire life and always just accepted that I would never be able to draw people.
But less than a week after watching this video, and I've already done 3 human pieces -- in VERY unusual positions -- and only one of them is still a WIP.
I made some real strides thanks to this.
Aww you made me remember how 4 years ago I'd spend even 30 min to draw something like a human structure-sketch ^^ Practice makes perfect? you bet! It takes me 30 sec tops to do one now ^^
Drawing with Loryen Hearing that makes me feel much better about my art.
Lycidas same
Updates?
How you progressing now?
Dude your videos are fantastic, really covering EVERY detail of drawing and design... I may pick up a pencil and take a lot of these cues :D
Thanks for your kind words of support!
No prob man! It's well deserved! I've seen other tutorials and they don't go into nearly as much detail as you! You may have things like this, but maybe animating specific things like animals, robots, and particle effects? I've heard from other artists on UA-cam that particle effects aren't the easiest to create/animate.
Keep it up man!
+Draw with Jazza Hey there Jazza, i got a question, i really love this, and i will always use this technique of construction, but how should i do it in paper? i am too poor to even get a drawing tablet, in the computer you can resize, easily erase anything, and lots of stuff you cant do in paper, i want to construct fast but i have it hard for doing it without having dark lines, its hard to keep the construction lines as light as possible, maybe just loosen the construction design for more sketchy but maybe that works? maybe the question im asking you is being already answered by myself right now? lol Please help, thanks! :)
Dante Delgadillo 2 years and no reply... what a shame.
This video goes great with your books! Glad I bought them!
Power Surge Thank you so much for your support, it means a great deal to me and I hope you enjoy them!
Draw with Jazza I do! Very much!
+ I live in the US. You know you they are digital books, right?
***** It means that you buy them as digital files. You download them and then can see them on your PC, Tablet etc. :) Basically it does not matter where you live.
Not sure... Debit should work as well... You can ask Jazza if you have a special circumstance
I tried using so many other tutorials/guides for construction, and I swear TO GOD, Jazza is the only one I could click with. Thanks much legend!
I'm so happy I found this. I cannot stress enough of how much this helped me and how much I improved in a day. Thank you Jazza, if it weren't for you and this video, I think I'd never in a million years figure out how to use my anatomy.
Will you cover different light sources on the following videos? I really need that
*looks at screen- sees Jazza drawing head*
*tries to replicate*
*looks at screen after drawing head*
*video has already ended*
I'm in college right now and i need this
Titus Tucker Check out drawabox.com , that also helps me out a ton
+Cerberus317 O. My. Glob. This is so useful! Thank you so much, Cerberus! Cheers
lol dude im literally cramming tutorials before animation college xD
im 11 and i kinda need this
Cerberus317 holy shit that link is going to change my life I've added it to my favourites thanks a ton
My teacher literally used this video as example for our homework. Jazza best person that can explain art. I'm glad my teacher used this as example lol, this is very good for me as a beginner
Hi Jazza, I like your explanation. Also, as a Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor, I explain to my students, in similar fashion. I do talk about 'The Centre Line,' for good postural alingement, how, and why, we have a strong skeletal system, muscles, tendons and ligaments, which i refer to, working like rubber bands.
No one ever fucking explained this to me.
Thanks, Jazza!
Learn to spell and use proper grammar before you try to troll someone, kid.
Okay, you're pretty funny.
Edgar Garcia It's really shitty that fedoras got a bad reputation thanks to ignorant people like you. Especially because the hat you mean is a trilby.
+HagalazVA +Edgar Garcia You know it's a quite funny subject: Internet fights! Even more funny is that people start saying things such as pricks about people... BUT they only read like 2 messages! Without their whole life story of course ;) But what I mean it's really easy to start one: just react on any social media thing. YT, vines, Twitter, FB, Insta and SO ON! Hahahaha quite funny right? Oh and if you would like to you may call me a kid since I am really thirteen years old and I live in the Netherlands :D Sooooo just relax people!...
+Ironmander Channel Nederland whoop whoop
10:16
alright we just went from zero to 6 million REALLY fast
I. Still comeback to these from time to time
yo same :D whats up
Its because of you i draw like an artist today
The way you explain everything makes complicated work look simpler. Thanks for the valuable work you are putting out.
I think the most important thing to make the better drawing is not how much you practice every day but is about how much you love to make a batter drawing 😎😎😎
Would you say this is the best way to start learning how to draw people? I’m looking to learn how but don’t know where to start. Thanks!
"A wooden doll"
That would be an artist's mannequin
I have one
Their name is Max.
Noice
lost pencil oh thats a thing! I need one
I have no idea if you are being serious but I also have a wooden mannequin called Alex
Mine is Dregory, and their default pose when not in use is a respectful bow. Like a butler.
Love the gender neutrality
It's getting the angles right of something that's turned - like a head, and knowing how to keep the plane consistent with all the facial features _also_ looking like they're on the same plane, that I find tricky. Same as when Jazza rotated the hammer and the car. Drawing them flat-on is the easy bit, it's doing it once they've turned 45º that makes me fall over!
You are the man. I have been thinking recently of how to improve my drawing skills and also take my daughter down that road. I think this is the missing link
I will watch and give updates as I go along. I’m at 2mins and already excited.
11:15 that is basically my final drawing after all my skill is exhausted and this gentleman is just getting started lol
Thank you for your time. For my art has become better because
you took time to share..!!
One thing I'm missing in this anatomy construction video is the measurements. I think you're drawing figures 7 heads high right? I was watching some of Sycra's videos awhile ago on his lightning technique for drawing the muscles on arms and legs and he uses an 8 heads tall method. It dawned on me that however helpful your videos have been on what fundamental shapes the male and female body consist of I don't remember you mentioning measurements (although I must admit I haven't watched them all yet)
I think why some people watching this tutorial would have problems is because when they implement it the result isn't what they thought it would be. For instance when you draw that little line and dot for the nose and mouth explain why they go there and what the width is. The eyes are usually one eye width apart from each other etc.at what point do the elbows and knees start...
When you draw it in 3D perspective you start foreshortening and that is the complicated bit for most because insight in measurement is crucial then. You're absolutely right when you say that people will just have to observe and practice so they will get a feeling for those 'accordion bends'. I'm still at that stage right now so I know. But some won't get that and perhaps get discouraged to continue as a beginner
Between you and Sycra's videos though I've already learned so much the past month. I'm already drawing and painting robots in all kinds of complicated poses and perspectives. Followed an art class for about half a year over ten years ago and learned nothing so I gave up. I was just drawing two pillows with charcoal on paper the whole time. But I somehow stumbled onto your tutorials and they inspired me to buy an Intuos and give it another try. I'm so glad I did. So this is by all means merely CONSTRUCTIVE criticism ;) pun intended of course
I've actually decided to take up figure drawing classes and start a group to go out people sketching. Those are probably the best ways to learn what things are common as opposed to what is personal
Holy shit u just wrote a novel 0_0
UkeliDokeli nice novel what’s it called?
The last bit about breaking objects into basic shapes and then putting it on another angle really helped! I just we able to draw my first basic car! I feel great about my abilities just with that advice.
i'm gonna start picturing the crf like a crowd chant. over and over with the crowd chant from when i start drawing. I'm refreshing my self on the basics again.
For the first few minutes: okay I got this
Jazza- now we are gonna make our own pose
Me- Okay this will be easy
10 seconds later- is to stressed out to continue
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Me: “Oh” “yeah, yeah okay” “oh easy” “got it”
*1 hour later*
Also me: *Types* “How to breakdance”
Dude the things you mention as consequences for doing things the wrong way, you get me, that comisery was as valuable as the very well explained theories!
Thank you. Seriously, thank you so much, this is the best explanation I’ve ever heard, and that’s coming from someone who’s spent at least 5 hours watching anatomy videos
I'm so happy I found your video, the frame lines has always been my weakest part of my drawings, jazza truly thank you. As I'm currently looking to create a body of work based around my family, in a dragonball/comic book direction.
0:31 Jazza knew Trump will be president
DavidJacomeTCP would*
but he's australian.....
Trump is clearly colluding with Australian spies.
I used to have one of those dolls, I drew a smiley face on it when I started using it.
Might get another.
This series is absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for all the hard work you put in it! Learning to draw proportions by copying the process of a pro is much easier than trying to copy from a photo or painting, and you are amazing at explaining! I've been drawing with you for 2 hours straight, I've already learned so much!
Ahh.... Greatest drawing channel ever... Aaaaaah.. I feel so relieved... I've been tryna understand this for so long..... Boiii
I ended up with a velociraptor head instead... what? Then I redid it... now I have a human.
I’m better with drawing weapons and monsters, my favorite is medieval... I also watch shad for that reason.
Watch out for the dreaded "Comfort Zone". It seems that you're in it already. Don't worry, we all go through those phases.
18:47 "And all that jazz."
More like All That JazzA amirite

I'm trying to make my own webtoon, so I'm learning anatomy.
Has nobody thanked Jazza for helping some guides to you guys?Cause This is my comment
Jazza Thank you for helping me and I'm trying to be good,but you helped me a little and watching your vids has been making me a good artist not pro enough but soon I'll be like you,helping others so they can be a good artist.Thank you so much.
The wire framing to finish the figure will help me a lot. Thanks!
Thanks amigo. Should i be drawing during ? #greatwork #artlife
I noticed the Aussie accent isn’t as strong when he’s in serious mode, but is thick and heavy when he’s excited or frustrated.
Thanks for doing this! It helps so much!
Wow ! This video was really useful ! This video is a revelation for me, i could never draw realistic looking face and I just did it for the first time in my life! Awesome ! Thanks!
Thanks for giving me information about drawing better it really helped me lot
We did this in engineering class I wasn’t really paying attention so thanks
Even tho this is two years old
12:40 I'd love to see people make memes using these faces!
"WE NEED TO BUILD A WALL... with a window in it" - Donald Trump
Dont forget the door. The mexicans may knock but not open! ....i hate trump...
And we're going to make photoshop pay for it.
LOSER
Justin 20000 The Jason Biggs movie? No, it's nothing like that.
Pi-hilist i was quoting donald trump.
I am almost 35 years old and starting drawing, but I was almost sure I wont get enough motivation.
This is a good explanation why and how to still do try it. Good explanation (even for me, as non-native! english)
Hey Jazza, I watched this video probably about a month ago and I’ve learned so much from it and I would like to thank you as now I can draw a character pose quite successfully and it has really changed my point of view on art. So once again, thank you and I love your vids.
