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
"The M249 SAW in the Stone"
Clear, clean, step by step with entertaining commentary to keep the attention.
Nicely done. You've earned a new Sub.
+Bass-D C thanks so much for joining the community and for your kind words!
and he responds quickly to his users even with 733k subs? earned another sub right here!

He is an amazing artist and he inspires me to do art another sub
Bass-D C ikr im subbing too now
Also, I'm so glad you're having so much fun with this content! It really shows in the quality.
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!
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!
+Guillaume Mercier thank you so much for your kind words and supporting my content!
good hint
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!
Dang that gaussian blur made it look like he's jumping off a cheese pizza
XD
That's even more epic XD
😂😂😂😂
i want pizza
Trueee xdddd
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!
"But wait, there's more!" Jazza, that was a solid American accent
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
Kikui what timestamp
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
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.
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.
After 6 years of gimp I still didnt know this nifty option, this is awesome, thanks!
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.
Thank you! it's a great advice!
@@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.
Thanks for these helpful tips! I definitely learned a lot from this.
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.
It is really cool how much Jazza knows about Programms for digital art! Also the lighthearted way of teaching it.
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.
you literally just saved my life w the actual drawing to lineart thing ohmygoooood bless u honestly
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!
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.
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.
This was such a useful tutorial, Thanks Jazza. I’m going to order some red and blue pencils now :P
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
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.
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... ;)
This video just made my day! So helpful and funny!
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.
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!!!
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.
HOW JUST HOW?!?!?! You have earned my sub
+Jack67119 (Jack67119) thank you!
Draw with Jazza holy moly
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
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 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! :)
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.
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!
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!
Jazza, I'd love to see you draw your character in the Don't Starve style, especially if you like the whole sketchy aesthetic!
Just pointing it out, the pencil was still a bit crooked.
maya thanks for making me annoyed! I’ll never unsee that 😭
This is amazing. I always enjoy your work. Please keep it coming. your videos is what's helping me through art school right now.
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!
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
I was kind of expecting the animated Jazza in the end to pull out medieval dagger 😅
I struggle a lot with digital art and this hack has really helped me make some great stuff!
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!
nice opening. EVERYTHING MUSST BE SYMMETRICAL!!!!
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.
this sounds interesting, any video you recomend with this alternative please?
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
i will always support you because you did this tutorial without using shortcut keys. excellent work 🙏🏼👌🏻🙌🏻
take a shot every time he says “layah“
4:14 "With the power of explosions nothing is impossible" - Michael Bay
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 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
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.
same...
Cassia Black Everything is free if you know where to look😉
That explosion looks like a close-up of an all cheese pizza...what have i done!?
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
Oh my God! Your first video and I'm in love with you Jazza!!!
You amazing human!
I did not think about the knives until he pointed it out.
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
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 :)
Jazza, I love your content! It's informative, educational and inspirational! Also mixed with your personality makes this channel awesome! Keep up the great work! Thank you!!
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.
its over 9000
Like always, whatever video Jazza do is just.... magic!
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: duplicates layer
Also Jazza: doesn’t matter what it’s named who cares
The duplicated layer: I took that personally
Looks like a closeup of a pizza in the background xD
Jazza... I love your art and your tutorials... and the way you teach. THANK YOU!!
You have officially made my day! I have been looking for a video to explain this for so long!!! ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY JAZZA!
So couldn't you have just done the sketch in pencil and do your line work and then erase the pencil lines...?
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.
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?
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.
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
Thank you so much! I used to redo the lineart in Photoshop after scanning my artwork and it would take so much time, your advice is super helpful!
This was a really useful tutorial Jazza! I've been practicing on photoshop and like colouring on it, but prefer doing construction and linework traditionally. This will help me find a nice balance in my work, thank you! :)
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)
Try to spell draw with your eyes close and don't cheat

I did it. Give me cookies.

This was such a fun video. Thanks for sharing! Also, I'd recommend converting the sketch layer to a smart object to be able to edit the adjustment layers (I love editing adjusment layers :)
Amazing stuff man! Love learning new stuff on your channel. The army dagger thing at the end was pretty funny.
Thank you so much for doing this video Jazza. I've been wondering how to turn my paper artwork into digital without going through a suoer long process. this will definitely help me as soon as I can get the technology to do so, so thank you so much for simplifying this! much appreciated!
This is so great! I've been wondering how to best take my sketches and digitally color them but it seemed like so much work. Thank you!!
Thank you Jazza. You have no idea how much this video helped me :D You are the best *^^*
Thank you Jazza. You have helped me to be a better artist in and out of the classroom.
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
Thanks a lot jazza for this fun and helpful tutorial. It really helped me do my colouring of my art digitally. Definitely going to recommend this video to my artist friends going towards digital art. Thanks again, your're a lifesaver!
Man, i just love your videos and excitement when making them
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
You're enthusiasm in this video is hilarious, I love it! Also this video was very helpful so thanks!
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.
i love you soooo much jazza!! you help me sooooo much with animation and drawing digitaly i cant strech it enough!!!
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.
First time here and subbed! I like how your tutorial is fun and funny. Wasn't bored at all watching from the start till the end. Keep it up :D
OMG I was just looking for this two days ago, Jazza you're my savior
Wow man, might be one of my favourite designs of yours - was really nice to see you having fun with this one! : )
You've earned a sub, you're amazing! I was looking for something just like this and you explain it so easily and softly that I'm totally impressed! You've earned not just a sub, but a fan!
You have no idea how helpful this is! Ive been looking for a way to get rid of my construction lines in photoshop forever! Thanks Jazza!
Jazza u have NO IDEA how much u have helped me with this video love u
This video helped so much! thank you so much for sharing you techniques on how to color scanned sketches. Keep it up!!!
You are a magical artist, and very few can match your talent.
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 really enjoy this type of video that show simple and effective tips and tricks in Photoshop. Also your drawing is great!!!
I cannot express how helpful this was to watch!!!! Thank you so much :)
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.
