I have a similar problem. I can't draw medieval weapons, but I can draw a mean M-16. So, all of my Knights of the Round Table have automatic weaponry. I feel your pain, Jazza. I feel your pain.
I've been coming back to this tutorial for years just to remember how to start coloring correctl. I don't use Photoshop often but when I do it for something very specific. Thank you Jazza.
Quick addition at 9:30 which Jazza forgot to mention. When you're selecting the lineart to create a selection, make sure you have contiguous ON (check box at the top). That will isolate the line work in segments and not select all the white at once.
I love the way you explain what you're doing and how to do it. And how enthusiastic you are Jazza! Suscribed a few months ago and even bought your signature brushes, now I can't stop using them and practicing as often as possible! Keep up the good work it's always a pleasure to watch your videos and your tutorials!
This is exactly the video I needed. I've been trying to teach myself digital artwork and have not found a ton of helpful tutorials on how to go from traditional to digital. And it also helped demystify why so many artists started drawing in red and blue pencil. Thanks Jazza!
Love your vids SOOOOOO much!!! My son and I watch them to get great tips and to hone our craft. (He's a 10-year-old aspiring manga artist.) In 10 minutes, we learn so much REAL, VALUABLE, immediately USABLE information, all given without a bunch of BS to wade through and nothing dry or boring as well. Really engaging, helpful, and so motivating and inspiring because you make us feel like we can all do it, too! Thanks, Jazza!
Holy crap, this was pretty much my biggest hangup with switching over to doing digital art, and you managed to clear it up within just a few minutes. Cheers!
An alternative way for the latter part: Once you have removed the blue lines, instead of doing the whole Multiply thing, you can also save your image as a psd or png file, open it with GIMP (shut up, bear with me), go to "Color" then "Color to alpha/transparency" and then have GIMP remove all the pure white tones in the drawing, so you end up with only your drawn lines with no pixelated edges because it smootly calculates how much white is in each pixel and then only removes that amount, so the edges of your black lines will softly fade into transparency if you zoom in all the way. It's a really great technique for getting rid of that pesky white color that keeps you from having your lineart isolated. So far, I haven't been able to find this function in Photoshop. Double-clicking a layer and then moving the slider at the bottom of the first layer style tab is alright for very rough white-removal, but it does leave you with jagged corners and less than optimal results overall.
Chris so I've done this in GIMP before on a sketch I scanned... I assumed Photoshop had the same functionality and was wondering why he wasn't doing it... I'm quite surprised. been away from art for 2 years so trying Krita this time. wonder if it has something similar.
@@figmak theres actually an easier way still. select and cut your drawing. press q to enter quick mask mode. paste your image back in. press q again to exit quick mask mode. invert selection and fill selection with black (or whatever). now all the black is back in place and all the white is transparent. in all hot keys the sequence is ⌘+a, ⌘+x, q, shift+⌘+v, q, shift+⌘+i, option+delete.i use it so much i've programmed it as a hot key function.
Jesus Christ... I spent ONE YEAR trying to find a way to do what you just have done in this video. I found tutorials, I made experiments, and I never succedeed. After all this time, you just solved my problem. THANK YOU JAZZA, YOU'RE SO FUCKING AWESOME!
I know you're way too polite and professional to ever do it, but I would love to see you have a section on either this or the Daily Jazza channel a monthly or possibly weekly video called, "But, JAZZzzzzaaaAAA...." Were you address the whiny and pedantic in a fun but verbally facial slapping, occasionally comedic ranty way! :)
I've watched this video before, but didn't pay attention and really should have. I've been taking an image and deconstructing it by making 100 white to black pixels then selecting each one and putting each at a different layer before turning them all to black and changing the transparency of each layer to what it was. Turns out I could've just selected multiply if I was patient. This is gonna save me hours. Thank you Jazza!
Can I cry? Can I marry you?? And crying at same time?? I SWEAR REALLY I COULDN'T FIND ANYONE HERE ON YT THAT ARE ABLE TO EXPLAIN SO EASIER PS THAN YOU!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, YOU SAVED MY LIFE, NOW I CAN FINALLY DRAWINGS LIKE I WANT!!
Great tutorial. I used to do a lot of work in Photoshop but didn't have a lot of the things that make life easier (scanner, decent pen tablet, etc). Now I do and this has really helped get me back into the habit of putting work into digital form.
I’ve been watching jazzas channel everyday for the past 3 weeks and still haven’t made a dent in his channels content 😂😂 I’m excited but also overwhelmed
OBVIOUSLY the army guy used to be an avid anthropologist and has a preference for medieval weapons. they are probably custom made tempered steel. also, given this info it'd be safe to say that he is also an interrogator who uses medieval style torture devices to get information from uncooperative enemies.
This video was not only super informative and barrier breaking for a newbie to making drawings digital, but Jazza, you made the whole process enjoyable and inspiring!
After a couple of years without drawing anything you keep me excited about it! Ive been diving into my photography career but illustration is and always will be my passion, despite my lack of skill haha Thank you!
the part where you cry about the daggers made me so happy :D this is one of the things where people looking at your art are like "wow. that is so amazing! he can draw soo many soo cool weapons! and i can only draw axes.. meh.." but actually you can also just draw those daggers.! thanks for sharing you insecurities with us. made me feel better about myself!
Great and helpful tutorial as always, Jazza. I agree about the sketchy-looky aesthetic. It's kind of cool. Sometimes when I refine sketches into more complete drawings I kind of like them less.
OMG you crack me up! i watched your whole tutorial no skipping, theres not many tutorials ive been able to watch all the way through and i learned something! thanks! Ive been trying to get into digital artwork but havent really found a good place to start ill definitely give this a shot!
I love how excited you get !! Also I love that you play around sometimes and arn't too serious, makes it feel like your having fun and interacting with you while at the same time, learning how to produce amazing art !! thank you for existing and teaching youtube how to art Hehe xx!!xx
OMG you are a godsend I have been searching for a video like this for 2 weeks. You were funny, informative and entertaining. Towards the end you sped up just a bit but I think I got all my note now, thanks again.
Great explanation for scanning in sketches and prepping them. However, I would HIGHLY suggest to NOT use the Multiply layer method as demonstrated here. You will run into problems further into painting. After you had the clean line art, you should've sketch lifted the drawing using the channel path selector (next to the layers tab bottom right). This way ONLY the lines are left, and you can literally paint UNDER the lines transparently with no multiply needed. Layer issues will be resolved and don't have to worry about colors getting affected. Many professional artists recommend this. I'd recommend to redo this part on sketch lifting since I believe this will hurt some artists in the future. KNKL's youtube channel has covered this multiple times.
Jazza rules! I wanted to digitally color underneath the lines of my physical drawing and this method is the identifiable winner. Works well, and Josiah is an entertaining and funny guy. - Jacob
Jazza, thank you so much! I am self taught and was never shown how to do these things. I finally understand how to Better both my traditional and digital art. Thank you! Thank you!
i remember watching this when it first came out, and i always come back for help on this. tysm jazza! - tired art student with rapidly approaching deadline
I've learnt more from you in 15 minutes for free than I have getting 12 grand in debt for two years of uni 😩 I love these kind of tutorials please please please keep them coming!! 💚
Omg - you have made learning Photoshop fun. I am a newbie in digital art (having 30 years of art experience) and you make me laugh when I know there is so much to learn! Thanks for the entertainment and clear lesson..now back to practicing.
you can also go to threshold in adjustments. it make everything either a black or white pixel, but it's better used with scans bigger than 300 or it won't look as nice.
Depending on the pens/ink you use for the line work you usually end up thinning the inked lines when erasing the pencil ones - which means you have to retrace the drawing at least partially. I can only speak for my own experience though, and I use an H2 pencil for sketching and sakura micron pens for inking. Using a blue/red pencil saves you time, when your intention is already to scan the artwork for digital painting, with the added bonus of allowing for mistakes and corrections without much hassle.
+Tubs&Chubs I know but he could've done the same thing with pencil and once he scanned it he wouldn't have had to do the step of taking the blue away in the first place so I was confused about why he was just adding an extra step to what needed to be done anyway?
It seems to be the quicker route, just to sketch, do your linework, scan, then get rid of the lines while also turning your linework digital at the same time, compared to sketching, doing linework, erasing lines, redoing the linework again, scan, turn linework into digital drawing. That's my take on it at least, this whole time I've just been sketching on paper, scanning, then drawing over digitally. This would be much faster.
I never realized that multiply made the white of a layer invisible, and that using the outside of the silhouette as a mask is just brilliant. I normally made a silhouette behind the line work then Alt linked the color and shading layers to it, but this seems to give you so much more control and an easier lay out.
Wow, I am an avid 'Levels' adjuster, but I wasn't as aware of Channel Mixer as I should've been! I love watching your videos and other artists' videos here on UA-cam, I feel like I've gleaned a lot of tips and tricks that make the my learning process of digital drawing and painting a lot smoother! Thank you!
Jazza!! Thank you so much!!! I seriously almost lost my passion for art because all the art i was seeing was so perfect and smooth on a computer, and the best i could do was a rough sketch with a mouse in the Paint program... But after seeing this video it has renewed my passion and for that i thank you so so so much!! 😁😁
I'm having a mental crisis because I don't know how photoshop really works and I keep fucking up but jazza, he really just makes you want to continue. I think I will watch all of his videos lol
Thank you so much Jazza!! You really saved my life here with the leveling thing. Now I can scan in my traditional inked comics and have solid, clean, and clear linework to color underneath or edit! Thank you!!!
I'm glad you showed another way to do this! There's another why where you make the image transparent except the black lines. Take a bit compared to just hitting myltiply
This will be so helpful scanning doodles. I've spent so much time experimenting and this is simple and direct. I have used levels a lot, but that channel mixer was always intimidating. Now it makes a lot more sense. Thanks! Oh and another great outro! :D
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. This is so helpful to me, I have so much trouble doing line work digitally, but I love painting digitally so this is perfect for me. Before I just tried to make outlines by selecting color range then deleting the white but it left a funny edge. You da best Jazza
I love your personality. The level of passion you have is more interesting than the content at times. Had to scroll back 30 seconds to relearn everything. 🤣
Just wanted to add to any of your videos a huge THANK YOU for sharing all your knowledge with all of us!!! Great and clear tutorials, links, tips and other stuff that are real eyeopeners and helped me understand and better use PS and other software. So, again, THAAAANKKS! You're awesome :)
Nice tut Jazza. For me, I just go to Image, Adjustments, Black and White, set the preset to High Contrast Blue and then adjust the blue slider typically to 95-100%. One step and you're done. Cheers!
Jazza, you are a fucking gem to society. You are so helpful, and make learning simple and heckin fun! I have struggled with learning how to do digital. I'm good at the painting, but I always end up tracing over images that I've drawn for the line work. I watched BayleeJay as well. Thank you so much from here in Colorado!
For me its about having a certain mindset when drawing, I tend to be afraid of making mistakes when i hold a normal pencil which can prevent me from starting to even sketch sometimes, so i tried to sketch with a blue/red pencil instead and told myself this is my sketch pencil and colour, this is a pencil where mistakes won't matter as i will draw on top of it with my normal pencil. This simple and somewhat strange sounding trick helps surprisingly well as your mind sorta calms down when it learns that once you hold your sketch colour pencil no mistakes matters and things just flow easier, its trick i recommend for all artists who find they are afraid of making mistakes even in sketches.
I have a similar problem.
I can't draw medieval weapons, but I can draw a mean M-16. So, all of my Knights of the Round Table have automatic weaponry.
I feel your pain, Jazza. I feel your pain.
i think it'd be a cool concept for knights to have modern weaponary and tech. You accidentally inspired me... thank you.
haha i did this also! But I can also draw medieval weapons :D
YUS
that sounds really cool haha

he always has a solid American accent, haha. It's so funny when he does it
ChaosYT - Let's Plays, Funny Moments, And More! it's more of a transalantic accent
IDon'tNeedAName in this case it would be a transpacific accent
Saw your comment right when he said it and started dying in laughter

Can you share the paper, markers, and scanner you use? Also what hair product? LOL
seconded.
Pretty sure his hair product is actually in one of his older vlogs, over a month old i think
his hair product is unicorn's tears. I asked him once
Thanks :)
Markers would be Copic. Not sure about the paper.
Can I cry? Can I marry you?? And crying at same time?? I SWEAR REALLY I COULDN'T FIND ANYONE HERE ON YT THAT ARE ABLE TO EXPLAIN SO EASIER PS THAN YOU!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, YOU SAVED MY LIFE, NOW I CAN FINALLY DRAWINGS LIKE I WANT!!
this helped me so much! i watched alot of your vids and just subbed
best of luck!
+Oran Gal thanks so much for joining the fun!
Hey,thank you so much for the tutorial! it helped me a lot!
Just for reference, I have seen WWII bayonettes that look real similar to that, js. Also look up K-Bar, a very simple and modern looking knife :D
Whenever I see a lot of random replies that have nothing to do with the main comment I know Jazza has replied... ;)
Great tutorial. I used to do a lot of work in Photoshop but didn't have a lot of the things that make life easier (scanner, decent pen tablet, etc). Now I do and this has really helped get me back into the habit of putting work into digital form.
Oh my goodness this is so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing Jazza! I did always wonder why people preferred using red/blue pencils for sketching.
I just went through and wrote down all of the directions so I can have this with me at all times. THIS CHANGED MY LIFE
you literally just saved my life w the actual drawing to lineart thing ohmygoooood bless u honestly

As I finally give up on people appreciating traditional art, this is a golden tutorial. Thanks!
Jazza, I'd love to see you draw your character in the Don't Starve style, especially if you like the whole sketchy aesthetic!
This video was not only super informative and barrier breaking for a newbie to making drawings digital, but Jazza, you made the whole process enjoyable and inspiring!
take a shot every time he says “layah“
After a couple of years without drawing anything you keep me excited about it! Ive been diving into my photography career but illustration is and always will be my passion, despite my lack of skill haha Thank you!
Just pointing it out, the pencil was still a bit crooked.
maya thanks for making me annoyed! I’ll never unsee that 😭
man it just makes me feel awesome when his character is in a uniform in the end animation and it matches the video its so awesome
Am I the only one who thinks pictures look better when there sketched and not refined?
yeah, they have more strenght, eventhough they are harder to read and aren't as technically impressive.
Well I'm using both styles depending on what suits it better (really prefere the sketchy style for scary drawings)
Nick Ted I always leave the sketches under my finished drawings XD
I like sketches
Nick Ted I don't do that in digital art but u do in traditional
the part where you cry about the daggers made me so happy :D this is one of the things where people looking at your art are like "wow. that is so amazing! he can draw soo many soo cool weapons! and i can only draw axes.. meh.." but actually you can also just draw those daggers.! thanks for sharing you insecurities with us. made me feel better about myself!

I was kind of expecting the animated Jazza in the end to pull out medieval dagger 😅
I love Jazza's videos and listening and watching them as I work on my drawings. It helps get me motivated and the creative juices flowing.
This video just made my day! So helpful and funny!
I just can't believe the quality of your videos they're so good and always teach me something thanks for all the hard work you put into this channel
this helps so much as i have no graphics tablet
Me too... I feel your pain...
Me to this helps so much
it's hard to paint without a tablet, but you can still do the levels thing with just photoshop. If you don't have that then get GIMP, it's free.

Why Medievals daggers though??
aesthetic
Maybe he forgot his combat knives, and found medieval daggers while scavenging an abandoned museum or something
He answers this in the video... 13:02
The soldier character found the medieval daggers in the temple. Behind him. Just before it blew up in a huge fireball. Duh!
Hypothesis 1: a complex scenario who will be explained in a prequel.
Hypothesis 2: Rule of cool, bitches :p
best photoshop tutorials on youtube, and an added bonus you're a comic illustrator. Subscribing to this is a no-brainer.
That explosion looks like a close-up of an all cheese pizza...what have i done!?
Omg - you have made learning Photoshop fun. I am a newbie in digital art (having 30 years of art experience) and you make me laugh when I know there is so much to learn! Thanks for the entertainment and clear lesson..now back to practicing.
Can this be used on other art programs such as Paint Tool Sai and Fire Alpaca? This is amazing thank you so much Jazza :D
Yes, though you might have to get creative with some of the features that aren't in those programs.
you can also go to threshold in adjustments. it make everything either a black or white pixel, but it's better used with scans bigger than 300 or it won't look as nice.
So couldn't you have just done the sketch in pencil and do your line work and then erase the pencil lines...?

I agree
the whole thing about this video is making your sketch digital.
+Tubs&Chubs I know but he could've done the same thing with pencil and once he scanned it he wouldn't have had to do the step of taking the blue away in the first place so I was confused about why he was just adding an extra step to what needed to be done anyway?

Came here to find how to transfer my drawings into my computer, got a full tutorial how to make insane designs! Thank you a lot! Love the video.
Looks like a closeup of a pizza in the background xD
I struggle a lot with digital art and this hack has really helped me make some great stuff!
Most of you aren't even done with the video. But anyway 6th.
Well, really, the video's 14 minutes long and it's only been out for 7 minutes. So nobody could have watched it all yet!
2.0x speed. XD
You have officially made my day! I have been looking for a video to explain this for so long!!! ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY JAZZA!
Damn, why the Army guy has medieval dagger??? Where is the point??? Damn, i'll unsubscribe soon. (just kidding, nice work, i put a like)
I absolutely love you for this. I always hated scanning in pictures and having to clean everything up. This will save me so much time, thank you!

You are a magical artist, and very few can match your talent.
You're enthusiasm in this video is hilarious, I love it! Also this video was very helpful so thanks!
Thank you so much Jazza!! You really saved my life here with the leveling thing. Now I can scan in my traditional inked comics and have solid, clean, and clear linework to color underneath or edit! Thank you!!!
very helpful. I like these tutorials.
Your tutorials are easy to watch. Some people make tutorials and they're really boring to listen to.
I love when animated Jazza changes depending on the content of the video
A life saver for making well made and quick commissions
Your a really good teacher. That coming from somebody who can never find a great teacher
I'm glad you showed another way to do this! There's another why where you make the image transparent except the black lines. Take a bit compared to just hitting myltiply
This will be so helpful scanning doodles. I've spent so much time experimenting and this is simple and direct. I have used levels a lot, but that channel mixer was always intimidating. Now it makes a lot more sense. Thanks! Oh and another great outro! :D
Jazza's editing has definitely got better
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is so helpful to me, I have so much trouble doing line work digitally, but I love painting digitally so this is perfect for me. Before I just tried to make outlines by selecting color range then deleting the white but it left a funny edge.
You da best Jazza
Jazza... I love your art and your tutorials... and the way you teach. THANK YOU!!
I love your personality. The level of passion you have is more interesting than the content at times. Had to scroll back 30 seconds to relearn everything. 🤣
Just wanted to add to any of your videos a huge THANK YOU for sharing all your knowledge with all of us!!! Great and clear tutorials, links, tips and other stuff that are real eyeopeners and helped me understand and better use PS and other software. So, again, THAAAANKKS! You're awesome :)
Nice tut Jazza. For me, I just go to Image, Adjustments, Black and White, set the preset to High Contrast Blue and then adjust the blue slider typically to 95-100%. One step and you're done. Cheers!
Jazza, you are a fucking gem to society. You are so helpful, and make learning simple and heckin fun! I have struggled with learning how to do digital. I'm good at the painting, but I always end up tracing over images that I've drawn for the line work. I watched BayleeJay as well. Thank you so much from here in Colorado!
This is amazing. I always enjoy your work. Please keep it coming. your videos is what's helping me through art school right now.
Man, i just love your videos and excitement when making them
For me its about having a certain mindset when drawing, I tend to be afraid of making mistakes when i hold a normal pencil which can prevent me from starting to even sketch sometimes, so i tried to sketch with a blue/red pencil instead and told myself this is my sketch pencil and colour, this is a pencil where mistakes won't matter as i will draw on top of it with my normal pencil. This simple and somewhat strange sounding trick helps surprisingly well as your mind sorta calms down when it learns that once you hold your sketch colour pencil no mistakes matters and things just flow easier, its trick i recommend for all artists who find they are afraid of making mistakes even in sketches.
Great technique! It's so much more effective than using the magic wand and coloring selection by selection. You've just earned a new subscriber! :D
Dude, you are so goddamn helpful. I 've seen many vector tutorials and never gotten the solution i wanted. Thank you so much you are awesome
