I've watched Jazza for a few years, I've seen him buy a laser printer for art, use over 100 packets of Ramen for art, he's even got a box of Copics with his face on it! Doing cool art stuff I could never dream of creating. And yet, he gets excited by a rolled up stick of paper that I've been using to blend graphite since 7th grade. It's wholesome, but like, how???
Or he just doesn't blend like that. Ik I had an art teacher that would frown on anyone that blended stuff like that. He expected perfection from using just the side of the pencil.
Hairspray can sometimes work, my mother used to use it for her artwork, but she warned me a very long time ago to never use hairspray if you want to keep your art for a long time; it'll turn your pieces yellow! No idea if it's true, but she showed me some of her work and it has yellowed over time ^^'
Probably that it allows the page to yellow, still. Or the paper used was a type that yellows easier. A number of books in my little home library that are 20+ years old are yellowing pretty obviously.
As an art student i have used hair spray to seal and finish my drawings with chalk and coal. It may not work with graphite but it does with chalk and coal. The thing is, it may need a couple of coats.
@@Am3lia77 Agree. Also using it all the time. The trick is to use only thin coats but 3 or more of them- allowing for it to dry every time! Even with really old drawings (like 15 years old) they didnt turn yellow (yet?), as another commenter said here. Its a pity It didnt work for Jazza, since it it an awesome trick.
I was genuinely shocked when Jazza didn't know about the graphite scribble transfer technique and the blending stumps. I've known about them since first grade art class.
@@the_0ctrain no cap. She let us mess around with them for a while. We didn't actually use them for their intended purpose, we just used them to make a mess.

@@FlameRat_YehLon Very true. Except that I imagine most small-time artists like students aren't going to have light tables. I learned that technique back in like middle school and still use it today.
@@annajacobson3299 USB light tables costs almost nothing, especially comparing to other art supplies. It really only matters whether you heard of it or not.
My high school art teacher said blending stumps were cheating so I’ve never gotten into using one. I feel like as I’ve grown as an artist I’ve decided very few things are “cheating” the point is to have fun and make things.
Yea, the point is to create an image inspired either from real life, or from your imagination, so it shouldn't matter what techniques are used to get to that end result. All that matters is the finished piece, and whether or not you are happy with how it looks. That being said, I do think that it's good to make sure students aren't reliant on blending stumps, because doing most of the blending with pencils gives you more control. Did he say that blending with your finger is cheating, too, or was it just blending stumps? If he was okay with finger blending, then that just doesn't make sense, because your finger gets oil and dirt all over your paper, so a blending stump would be far superior.
@@orchdork775 I agree :) and no he didn't want us blending with our fingers either. Like you said, he did probably just want us to learn to blend with the pencil, and not rely on smudging. He was actually a really great teacher, I had him for 4 years and he was really invested in his classes. He ran the special art program at my high school so we all took 2 art credits a year and sometimes both were with him. He also recommended that we all paint exclusively with red, yellow, blue, and white paint, which was a bit extreme, but also a great exercise for becoming really good at colour mixing (and for saving money on paint lol). for some reason though it stuck with me the way he said blending stumps were cheating so I just never used them and didn't really think about why (I also didn't buy pre mixed paint colours for at least my first two years of university lol)
@Grace Slagle honestly, I don’t even think tracing is cheating. If you want to make stuff, make stuff, and do it however you want. I agree about stealing though, stealing is bad.
Ahhh... this is *THAT* blending stump video I keep hearing about in the comment section in every video since. I just love that even the biggest UA-camrs are still willing to learn new things and take us on the journey instead of pretending to be experts at everything. It’s one of the reasons I love watching Jazza’s videos.
The hairspray one really depends on which type/brand of hairspray you use, wait until the spray is completely dry and make sure you sprayed every part. ALSO DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU COLORED WITH WATER/INK/ALCOHOL BASED MARKERS, it will smudge and soak through the paper since hairspray often contains water and/or alcohol. I've been using this method for years and it works great. Hope this helps :)
Adding to this: You need the hairspray that is used to do things like mohawks and other crazy hairdoes. The lacquer that gives thoes styles their stiffness is what forms the protective layer over the graphite.
In art school we mostly used hairspray on charcoal because it's cheap and doing its job, as long as you won't start intentionally smudging your work, just want to keep it in your dossier.

Blending stumps were literally what I used 50% of the time when I seriously got into drawing. And the hairspray thing was a hack in my drawing book I had back then.
So you’re telling me that a guy who’s been drawing for more than 10 years doesn’t know what a blending stump is Edit : OMG GUYS CHILLOUT I’VE NEVER GOT THESE MANY LIKES
Hah I do thatz too! Thats my normal way of drawing xD 6:50 even analog ! yay - and also the rest wasn't new to me. But I am such an art nerd... xD I am all over arttube since... years... man, so many good videos and tutorials. Mhh Maybe I should share my hacks more often.
My grandmother gave me a ton of quality watercolors that were years old, and now years later I'm picking them back up just to learn. They are SO old they're all dried out, definitely still usable, but that back might work for me... I'm totally going to try it!
Omg! Thats my art! Im the first one he reacted to! I’ve never drawn a person before, it was quite difficult and i couldn’t get the eyes to work but I tried my best! I typically paint landscapes but I’ve been experimenting with other subjects in my favorite medium watercolor!
if you like blending stumps you'd really like using a clean paint brush, I've found it makes it look more natural and its harder to lose the lighter values that you're trying to keep
I also learned to use alluminum foil as a disposable palette from a professor at art university. Idk if it works well for all paint types but it certainly makes cleanup of oil paints easy. This teacher/professional artist also used a roll of tracing paper instead of a sketchbook so maybe he just liked rolls of things.
I am blown away that someone with your experience hasn’t come across some of these before. I was taught the first one when I was a little kid to copy images. The hairspray for fixative is common to starving art students, and paper stumps are a mainstream art tool. Love the results to your challenge!
when it comes to the hairspray to prevent smudges it does work. you have to get the cheapest hair spray you can. high end sprays are mostly water and won't work. Hair Net spray is probably the best you can get for it. but then again you can use matte spray finishers like Jazza did, but they're a lot more expensive.
You only showed my drawing briefly but HOLY CRAP THANK YOU FOR FEATURING MY CREATURE AND EVEN FOR GOING "WHOA" I am so honored and so happy! I didn't think you'd even see it. You just made my day!
Just discovered Jazza's channel with this video and I have to say but this guy's optimism and idk just cool positive vibes is really cool, I mean he was just complimenting everyone on their drawings for the dice challenge I found that really heartwarming as a shy beginner artist
In case of the hair spray hack, as far as I remember from my life drawing classes (loooong long long time ago) it depended on the brand, quality and/or composition of the hair spray and it required a little bit of trial and error to find one that would work (depending on what brands you could locally get). Usually the cheaper/crappier they were, the better they worked as sealants.
Me, took a single year of AP art in high school: knows what a blending stump is Jazza, THE expert, professional, #1 art UA-camr: WHAT’S A BLENDING STUMP!?!?!!!!?!
As someone who's mom goes to a lot of garage and estate sales as well as hoards the dried paint into watercolor hack is actually pretty great for people who can't afford art supplies on a regular basis.
Blending Stumps are for real so uesful!! Even I who is really bad at art managed to draw a very realistic Portrait of Ellie from LoU for my girlfriend with a bit of endurance. It is honestly so fun. You can also just put a Black and White filter on a Photo and get the drawing Started!
"What's a blending stump?" I was shocked that Jazza wasn't familiar with blending stumps/tortillons. (Apparently my phone isn't familiar with tortillons either. "I'm not talking about tortillas, phone!"🙄) They're such common tools, it was genuinely surprising to me that he hadn't used them before! Your never to old to discover something new (that's been around for ages)!😉 Edit- Note to self, read the comments before posting a comment that says exactly the same thing as 100's of other people.✔
That 1st one works! I've done that with tracing paper since I was a kid! Trace it, flip it, heavy pencil lines. Turn back over, place on paper, retrace! Viola! The sketched version, that you can redraw, color, add flair to, etc! Using tracing paper, makes it even easier to see the original, rather than just scribbling a bunch on the back. You can actually just go over the "real" drawing", so no guessing if you got all the edges.
Jazza, you just saved my favorite brush with that hand sanitizer hack! I was cooking and painting at the same time (yes, bad idea) and when my food burned (you don't have to say it), I abandoned my paints to save dinner. A few hours later I remembered my brushes, but it was too late. I've held onto those rock hard brushes for 6 months. But 2 minutes working the hand sanitizer in and they're completely restored! I'm thrilled!!!
2:37 I'm surprised Jazza doesn't know what a bender is! They're super helpful in drawings. (I've never heard anyone refer to it as a blending stump before)
Me after looking at notifications and seeing a new video from Jazza: yay I'll give it three fourth or fifth like and comment Me after opening the video: oh, is 12k views, 2.5k likes and 200+ comments already -_-
Lets just give him a hug and a moment of silence cuz for the rest of his life he was a professional artist he had every art tools accept for one a blending stump
I have known what a blending stump was since I was in middle school and couldn’t believe Jazza, a professional illustrator didn’t know what it is. Then he was like, duh, a white gel pen is used for highlighting, and I never knew that before I saw it on his UA-cam channel. Lol. Sharing the knowledge is great.
Lol the dice creatures is a game I play with my ESL students, we use it to teach body parts and review numbers and colours. The kids love it, but obviously we simplify it and get them to draw a simple circle or something to make the body. I love seeing what they do!
I love using a blending stump/stick! Would recommend for smooth blends when using media such as pencils, charcoal, coloring pencils, or similar. They work a bit differently with colored media so you’ll have to play around with it a bit to get used to the different blends, but it really helps to take traditional drawings to the next level. I’ve used the blending stick for 12 years now and would never leave it out of my media collection.
Kids, kids are the reasons behind neglected paints. They aren't my paints, I don't use them. It's been neat going through my nieces' old art stuff with my brother, all the unused everything. Wish I'd seen this before we threw out all that dry paint out.
About the sketch book thing, I do that too but not just with drawing. With anything on paper I tend to keep it all on one side cause I only really use pencil and I don't like it smearing, it also just feels right
Man, this is the reason why I wish my parents would allow me to have Tik-tok. Some people in Tik-Tok's art community are really helpful, and plus I want to participate in stuff like this and be able to share it with Jazza
Fixing your creation with hair lacquer is a classic technique that works very well for pastel, pencil, charcoal and chalk. My art teacher taught me about it 15 years ago ;-)
I actually use hair spray in my sketchbook just to stop sketches and stuff from transferring over the pages-so i think it might just be the brand?? It's always worked for me so idk-
@@AshriyaJaveed Honestly it's just a cheap one from a british store called Boots-I'm pretty sure it's just the store's own brand. Cost like £1.50 or something
@@AshriyaJaveed Ok i actually went and double checked cause i didnt wanna give you the wrong info and yeah it's just "Boots, Extra firm hold hairspray" Unperfumed
@@dinkletree3561 Doesnt ruin the art! All of my sketches have been 100% ok. If you're going to try it with water colour pencils or different mediums like that who i'd recommend doing a swatch page and then spraying it with a few layers to see if any dont react well to it. I did that and figured out that one of my pens did bleed a little when made wet, but aside from that everything else was oki.
tbh, I didn't know what a blending stump was til quite recently, and so I completely understand Jazza. But the transfer technique! you have to know that!!!!
Hey jazza! Just saw this and the hair spray one does actually work for studio work when you don't have the actual product! It does take a good bit and you need to let it dry for a day but it has saved muuuuuch more than without!
Another way to store custom mixed paint that you want to save? Silicone cosmetics containers for traveling. They are usually air tight, small, and washable. I recently found that using little silicone pots (commonly used for a certain resin smokeable substance) work even better, and you can get them for much cheaper than the travel cosmetic containers. I found a pack of 30 on amazon for $13 USD

The hairspray for fixative is common to starving art students, and paper stumps are a mainstream art tool. Love the results to your challenge!
when it comes to the hairspray to prevent smudges it does work. you have to get the cheapest hair spray you can. high end sprays are mostly water and won't work. Hair Net spray is probably the best you can get for it. but then again you can use matte spray finishers like Jazza did, but they're a lot more expensive.
You only showed my drawing briefly but HOLY CRAP THANK YOU FOR FEATURING MY CREATURE AND EVEN FOR GOING "WHOA"
I am so honored and so happy! I didn't think you'd even see it. You just made my day!
which one's yours?
Whenever Jazz’s says “TikTok” he sounds like a parent trying to stay hip with the kids- wait.......
He is🤣
8:04 Jazza's adorable excitement when he notices Rae's video is so wholesome
Just discovered Jazza's channel with this video and I have to say but this guy's optimism and idk just cool positive vibes is really cool, I mean he was just complimenting everyone on their drawings for the dice challenge I found that really heartwarming as a shy beginner artist
In case of the hair spray hack, as far as I remember from my life drawing classes (loooong long long time ago) it depended on the brand, quality and/or composition of the hair spray and it required a little bit of trial and error to find one that would work (depending on what brands you could locally get). Usually the cheaper/crappier they were, the better they worked as sealants.
we’re gonna need a video dedicated to blending stumps
He listened
you called it
He featured you in that video! Congrats!
I feel like evermore video jazz finds a new art tool he wants to mess around with
Me, took a single year of AP art in high school: knows what a blending stump is
Jazza, THE expert, professional, #1 art UA-camr: WHAT’S A BLENDING STUMP!?!?!!!!?!
As someone who's mom goes to a lot of garage and estate sales as well as hoards the dried paint into watercolor hack is actually pretty great for people who can't afford art supplies on a regular basis.
I've been seeing multiple hacks on my FYP for a while now and this is probably a sign to try em out for myself too lol!
Loved your latest video.. u just gained my sub ✌️😁
@@DoodyDraws Oh! That's so sweet 😭 Thank you so much!! ❤
Blending Stumps are for real so uesful!! Even I who is really bad at art managed to draw a very realistic Portrait of Ellie from LoU for my girlfriend with a bit of endurance. It is honestly so fun. You can also just put a Black and White filter on a Photo and get the drawing Started!
The filter, that's what I'd do too 😂 put it on different type of B&W filter to see which one easier to draw.
Tlou*
Blending stumps are very satisying
Stoked to get into these. It’s 6 am. Coffee and jazza. What a great way to start the day.
Mmmm livin' the dream
"What's a blending stump?" I was shocked that Jazza wasn't familiar with blending stumps/tortillons. (Apparently my phone isn't familiar with tortillons either. "I'm not talking about tortillas, phone!"🙄) They're such common tools, it was genuinely surprising to me that he hadn't used them before! Your never to old to discover something new (that's been around for ages)!😉
Edit- Note to self, read the comments before posting a comment that says exactly the same thing as 100's of other people.✔
That 1st one works! I've done that with tracing paper since I was a kid! Trace it, flip it, heavy pencil lines. Turn back over, place on paper, retrace! Viola! The sketched version, that you can redraw, color, add flair to, etc! Using tracing paper, makes it even easier to see the original, rather than just scribbling a bunch on the back. You can actually just go over the "real" drawing", so no guessing if you got all the edges.
Hope you all have a great and happy Easter today and stay safe 💕
no it is tomorow
@@Calebdude68212 no it 12:38am where I live
For me right now it's 9:09
Tomorrow is Easter but still happy Easter
Omg, this is EEEPPPPIIIICCC!
I finally know one thing that jazza doesn't know in art. The blending stump😱
''G'day I'm Jazza''
That makes me happy each time I hear it
Jazza, you just saved my favorite brush with that hand sanitizer hack! I was cooking and painting at the same time (yes, bad idea) and when my food burned (you don't have to say it), I abandoned my paints to save dinner. A few hours later I remembered my brushes, but it was too late. I've held onto those rock hard brushes for 6 months. But 2 minutes working the hand sanitizer in and they're completely restored! I'm thrilled!!!
When I studied at the art academy, the hairspray was the first hack I learned.
We always bought Elnett, and it really worked!
UA-cam > tiktok.
@Grace Slagle omg same 😩😩
I love tiktok. It makes me hungry for tictacs which I havent eaten for 3 years. I miss you orange tictac, may we meet again in my drooling mouth.
2:37 I'm surprised Jazza doesn't know what a bender is! They're super helpful in drawings. (I've never heard anyone refer to it as a blending stump before)
JAZZA DIDNT KNOW WHAT A BLENDING STUMP WAS !?!?! OMGGGGG ...guys we could prolly be looking at a v gr8 video next week-🤡
low key shocked that you’ve never heard of blending stumps! they’re a lifesaver.
Discovered Jazza only a few days ago, and been binge-watching many videos (from old tutorials to more recent ones).
I'm very art-tertained 😁
Me after looking at notifications and seeing a new video from Jazza: yay I'll give it three fourth or fifth like and comment
Me after opening the video: oh, is 12k views, 2.5k likes and 200+ comments already -_-
Yeah same....
At least you didn't expect to be first 🤷
Random Iconic Jazza line:
"What you DON'T know is he's a really talented lover!"
Don't tell me you've gone your whole like without these! 2:30 jazza you need it they're so nice!
Omg the fact Jazza didn't know what a tortillion (blending stump) was has me shook 😳 Absolutely boosted the quality of my graphite pieces!!!
Really enjoyed this video. However twice my ear drums exploded when jazza screamed as I was wearing an earphone. 😂😂😂 now off to check his tiktoks:)
Lets just give him a hug and a moment of silence cuz for the rest of his life he was a professional artist he had every art tools accept for one a blending stump
I can’t wait to see those duets
Me neither :)
Jazza is definitely the type of person who is not intimidating, he really has a way of doing things wherein it's very transparent and doable
I have known what a blending stump was since I was in middle school and couldn’t believe Jazza, a professional illustrator didn’t know what it is. Then he was like, duh, a white gel pen is used for highlighting, and I never knew that before I saw it on his UA-cam channel. Lol. Sharing the knowledge is great.
Omg yes!!! Jazz saw my TikTok✨
I’m so exited that I can’t believe it xD
Glad you like it✨
That's awesome
fun fact: everyone's early until they refresh the page
edit: why is everyone talking about him not knowing about blending stumps lol
So true
...
Yes
Hmm, I smell: THAT ONE COMMENT WITH 2.7K+ LIKES!
😂
pain
I can’t be alone having no clue what a blending stump is
As someone who watches Super Rae Dizzle on a daily basis and is subscribed to her, the “Hey, it’s Rae!” was just so wholesome for me
Lol the dice creatures is a game I play with my ESL students, we use it to teach body parts and review numbers and colours. The kids love it, but obviously we simplify it and get them to draw a simple circle or something to make the body. I love seeing what they do!
13:33
Jazza is tyler1 lite “aah help” 😂
You’ve never used blending stumps?! How have you never even heard of them?!
i love ur videos u helped me alot with my art
I love using a blending stump/stick! Would recommend for smooth blends when using media such as pencils, charcoal, coloring pencils, or similar. They work a bit differently with colored media so you’ll have to play around with it a bit to get used to the different blends, but it really helps to take traditional drawings to the next level. I’ve used the blending stick for 12 years now and would never leave it out of my media collection.
8:02
Me: It's Rae!
Jazza: It's Rae!!
:D
Jazza: Let me teach you shading
Also jazza: What is a Blending Stump
Jazza: I don't think how to draw tips are art hacks
Also Jazza: Does a "how to draw chains" video and calls it an art hack
The tinfoil hack is incredibly wasteful though...just take the few minutes and clean whatever your using 🙌🏽✨
Kids, kids are the reasons behind neglected paints. They aren't my paints, I don't use them. It's been neat going through my nieces' old art stuff with my brother, all the unused everything. Wish I'd seen this before we threw out all that dry paint out.
Blending stumps are SO HELPFUL, especially with graphite and charcoal. Highly recommend.
I’m digging your tik toks so much! I guess you could say starting an account was a “happy little accident?” 💜🥰
the fact that Jazza didn’t know what a blending stump was shocked me
finally! something on tiktok i don't hate!
About the sketch book thing, I do that too but not just with drawing. With anything on paper I tend to keep it all on one side cause I only really use pencil and I don't like it smearing, it also just feels right
The excitement at recognizing Rae is so wholesome.
Jazza : I'm professional artist
Also jazza : what's a blending stump
Man, this is the reason why I wish my parents would allow me to have Tik-tok. Some people in Tik-Tok's art community are really helpful, and plus I want to participate in stuff like this and be able to share it with Jazza
The way he screamed -'Hey it's Rae' 😍❤ Friendship goals ❤
Fixing your creation with hair lacquer is a classic technique that works very well for pastel, pencil, charcoal and chalk. My art teacher taught me about it 15 years ago ;-)
iv non abut blending stumps since i started drawing which was like 3 or 4 years ago like bruh jazza and you inspired me to draw :)
God I love his creativity! So catchy!❤️
this makes me actually kind of want tiktok-
Kind of..
@@mircea1233 only kind of. Tiktok still sucks in my opinion
There is some good content on there. Finding it is the challenge.
@@manifestationsofasort idk, I'm on a roll since I havent installed tiktok on my phone yet, I dont rlly wanna break my streak
I actually use hair spray in my sketchbook just to stop sketches and stuff from transferring over the pages-so i think it might just be the brand?? It's always worked for me so idk-
What brand you use?
@@AshriyaJaveed Honestly it's just a cheap one from a british store called Boots-I'm pretty sure it's just the store's own brand. Cost like £1.50 or something
@@AshriyaJaveed Ok i actually went and double checked cause i didnt wanna give you the wrong info and yeah it's just "Boots, Extra firm hold hairspray" Unperfumed
doesn’t it ruin the art tho? what if ur using watercolor pencils?
@@dinkletree3561 Doesnt ruin the art! All of my sketches have been 100% ok. If you're going to try it with water colour pencils or different mediums like that who i'd recommend doing a swatch page and then spraying it with a few layers to see if any dont react well to it. I did that and figured out that one of my pens did bleed a little when made wet, but aside from that everything else was oki.
tbh, I didn't know what a blending stump was til quite recently, and so I completely understand Jazza. But the transfer technique! you have to know that!!!!
Hey jazza! Just saw this and the hair spray one does actually work for studio work when you don't have the actual product! It does take a good bit and you need to let it dry for a day but it has saved muuuuuch more than without!
That method will yellow your art 0/10 hack
That moment when you remember Jazza used to work for the Newgrounds company as an animator.
I can’t believe he hasn’t heard I of any of these! I do half of them every day
If you want to mock around with blending stumps, Q-tips have the same effect.
12:04 i thing i should star to draw on the left side of my sketch book bc my wrist always over laps with the spiral
( left handed problems)
Another way to store custom mixed paint that you want to save? Silicone cosmetics containers for traveling. They are usually air tight, small, and washable. I recently found that using little silicone pots (commonly used for a certain resin smokeable substance) work even better, and you can get them for much cheaper than the travel cosmetic containers. I found a pack of 30 on amazon for $13 USD
Jazza is the master of efficiency. He makes content for TWO platforms at the same time. 👌😎
