To those thinking why this comment is 3 hours before
actually he uploaded video 3 hours ago but he kept it private he made it public after 3 hours that's the reason
Wait what was this vid uploaded 3hours ago?
I'm a big fan lol
Wait this comment is 3 hours ago while the video said 3 minutes ago. WhAAat

Iâm gonna check it out soon canât wait to get better at drawing!!!
You asked for opinions so hereâs a couple of tips for ballpoint portraiture realism that Iâve learnt as a freelance portrait artist using only ballpoints (I have been doing this for over 5 years now):
try to avoid hard outlines, particularly for features other than eyes/eyelids, nostrils and eyebrow hairs;
your best friend for realism is fine cross hatching and layering and alternating the directions of this; start off with a light foundation and build upwards because pen cannot be undone, this also creates a softness that allows you to blend easily between shade and highlights;
to avoid unwanted clumps of ink, keep a scrap piece of paper or even regular tissue and roll off your pen after each time you take your hand away from the page for more than a couple of seconds; this prevents the ink gathering at the ball and producing a splodge (for want of a better word) when you touch the pen down again, this is particularly important for when youâre working on highlights and lighter areas and also hair.
If youâve read all of this, I hope itâs useful to you đ have a nice day!
thank you for the tip
Thank you for this Tip, this is very helpful for Me.
Serious question, how long does one of these drawings take for your ball point portraits?
Is there anywhere online you can recommend to be able to learn this style of drawing?
Michael Carlton My portraits can take anywhere up to 4 weeks to complete because of their size, for me this also depends on the hair length/style/type, skin (as darker skin colours take more layers to build up) and also any clothing/accessories that are being worn.
I would recommend just having a look around CZcams and observe the techniques of artists, there are also many good ballpoint artists on Instagram (@/oscarukonu and @/samiadagher are amazing examples to observe) đđ
also carefully using slightly damped cottonswap with fine eaven crosshatching you can get beautyful blending and smoother look! My self i use really hard pencil to sctech and not do any line work with ballpoint pen, just hard shadows where its needed. Patience and layering is the key ;

Lol jkjk
Since jazza is very skilled at art, I really want to see him try doing cake art
That's a really cool idea
calling him talented is an insult to the years of experience and practice jazza did
@@okuri9991 he said skilled not talented
@@spark_art1 (edited)
@@okuri9991 I hope youâve learned that two things can be true at once over this yearđ
Imagine getting mad over a compliment. They were right, for something that isnât his strong suit, Jazza did extremely well in this video. The same could be said for a number of other videos where he admits to being out of his element, but almost always produces amazing results within a short period of time. That is a result of artistic talent combined with the skill he has from the mediums he does excel at.
This reminds me of a project we had to do in one of my High school art classes. It was an âempty the penâ drawing, where we had to empty one pen in a single drawing. Could make for a cool video! :D
That sounds really fun :D
Bet Most students just drew a stickman and colored the background completely black đ
We did that too lol
Woah, sound super fun. I'm gonna try that!
@@user-10021 why would this be me đđ€đœ
My art teacher taught us to *âdraw what you see, not what you knowâ*
*Best advice i've ever gotten* đ
That's so true! It's amazing how what we think we know is so completely wrong when drawing it out! đ
@@BeckyTregear Then there is designers who draw what they know, not what they see. We're peak artists.
Mine even made us flip the pucture upside down to beat that instinct...
people who draw fictional characters: bruh
@@talnev.7894 My design professor made us draw our designs top to bottom...So, not only did we create something that doesn't exist, we drew it upside down..
The answer to these is always âyesâ. Havenât even watched the video but knowing Jazza, itâs undoubtedly âyesâ
Yes we must believe
Yes
Starting a new trend?
Yes
I mean he just is able to do weird art challenges.
The hardest thing about capturing realism, especially for someone who is mostly an illustrator, is the tendency to concentrate too much on the edges of the subjects. In reality, nothing has a distinct edge, especially a biological/organic structure. Rather, they curve away from or towards the viewer, and are never a hard edge with as much contrast as we have an inclination to draw them with. This is hard to capture in a realistic way with many mediums.
Very true
This is why i'm better at digital art than traditional.
Yes, there are no outlines IRL
The edges we see are a byproduct of the image processing our brains perform to identify objects from the background. It's a neat little trick...algorithm inside of our brains.
From an optical perspective, our eyes have a focal length of about 50mm with optical distortions. Our brains perform error correction and processing to fix this. We also have two eyes which are actually too close to create real stereoscopic view, but our brains use the ever slight differences and processing to create our binocular view. I could go on and on, but the key to realistic art on a 2D surface is to fool our brains into believing it has 3D depth and it isn't a flat image. Of course, in some cases you want a flat image in the case of illustration.

âoh boy I canât wait to see Jazza act professionallyâ
Rebecca Faleij .......... does he??!?
I second that question
Sooooo ?
Jazza acting professionally????? pffttttt
Does he?
am I the only one, who can imagine Jazza running happily to his wife, wanting to show her his new drawing and being mad when she pulls it off the fridge after a week
đđ
Omg đđđ
That was an "awww" to "0-0"
Lol
đ
Jazza is so talented man. He's the level of flexible, skilled and original every artist aspires to be.
Bro fr like some artist just hydro dip or shoe custom or do one main thing but no not jazza he dose well all of them and is more then perfect with whatever he dose he's born an artist like imagine little jazza. Jazza don't color on wall. Jazza mom walks in. Gasps at Mona Lisa on sons wallđđđđ

"i'm using A FREAKING BALLPOINT PEN"
When people ask you to draw them and then say it doesn't look like them
Mino Assal true
accurate
Ikr and they act FREAKING UNGRATEFUL
Say đȘ no đȘ
Itâs cuz thatâs what they actually look like
Jazza + ballpoint pens: Masterpieces
Me + ballpoint pens: âis that a... smiley face? No? A dugong? No...? Ooh! I know now, itâs a fried egg. No?!!â
Good luck with learning ballpoint, my guy! I've been using it for awhile and it's very nice once you get used to it, and the contrast and durability of the piece it allows for makes pens much better for sketching than pencils!
@@ksenyaandtheartisticcucumb1958 that's the my favourite tecnique and i use it for anythingđ
@@ksenyaandtheartisticcucumb1958 ballpoint has so much ink lol I like how consistent or inconsistent it can get bc it adds for more creativity. Itâs a stress reliever.
@@3thalluing339 Yea! It's a lot of fun to use once you get familiar with it)) also teaches you less remorse about slight mistakes lol

Aka "a doodle"

He did it like 4 times better than i can do with a pencil
He is a liar jajaja
Man whenever i think this man was not good at something he blows me away everytime. Man you are something jazza. I luv ur videos

Jazza, your Joker side is showing.
Here's a challenge: Take a shot each time Jazza does a dad joke.
Well time to get out the ol stomach pump
He has the license to tell dad jokes
Or a sip of water
WELP. Better go get some more alcohol
You trying to put people in the hospital?
Jazza: realism is not my strong suit, so letâs make it even harder!
That's how we get better at it!
I mean, if you try running and do so poorly, walking can seem much easier afterwards
jazza: draws both of the guys eyes well
every other artist: *wait, that's illegal*
I'm gonna be that guy and say while the left eye is fine, the right eye isn't positioned correctly. I instantly noticed this because the eyes in a portrait are one of the most important features you have to get right, because more often than not that's where most peoples eyes go to first. That's not to say it isn't a good portrait, since it is amazing that this was done with a ballpoint pen, but there is room for improvement.
the right eye is drooped down a bit, which is not... really... okay, at all, the eyes are the things that you need to get right, theyre the first things you look at on a portrait, eyes are something that you need to get down pat, otherwise the drawing won't look right, i do this weird thing where i use a ruler to get eye size and spacing right, but it works, if you dont wanna do that it's fine, there are many ways to make sure your eyes look symmetrical and detailed, so please use them, otherwise its gonna muck up your work
But... How?!
@@jonarbuckle778 but he also doesn't have guide lines soo ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Good enough for freehand I guess.. But proportions would have been better if a grid was used..
Iâve always adored sketchy pen/ink drawings, both realistic, cartoony, and everything in-between. You captured the free spirited nature of the ball point pen â€ïž
He is so inspiring.... the fact that he uses things we all have and itâs amazing to see how talented he is
Jazza: *Draws a masterpiece from ballpoint pens*

Cool story: when I went to school we had to do an ink-drawing of a painting for homework. I didn't know she meant for us to use actual ink and a brush, but because we didn't have it, I used a ball pen instead, because it's technically also ink and I knew they couldn't give me a bad grade for it.
When I turned it in, the teacher, who was like a down-to-earth artist type, praised my creative take on the assignment and I honestly still feel proud about it.
Who cares? Attack me.

Lol thats amazing
Of course, this brings up the obvious question: how realistic could he draw if he had no limitations?
Boiiiii i wanna see dat
more realistically than real?
Brook Tamby weâll realism isnât his strong point but Iâm sure it would be good
9:29, in my art class a couple years ago, the teacher made us flip the picture upside down to avoid drawing what we think and it actually turned out half decent!
I love this video Jazza! The first one is my favorite too because I love to see where your creativity takes you.
Jazza: "this is blue and this is red"
Me, watching at night in dark mode: *only sees black* "what"
Same, except I also have have greyscale with my wind down mode, so it's kinda hard to watch "relaxing art videos"
...
And like button blue is the same shad of grey ut was before I press it, same with the Reddit upvote buttons ;^;
Totally same!!! I had to turn my brightness up to see it đđ
Dang đ
You just taught me about CZcams dark mode.
Coincidentaly , I toođ

No one, absolutely no one:
The front of sketchbooks: Jazzaâs first attempt with the pens
The cabin was absolutely immaculate. The face is really really amazing. Monster usb thing was pretty good. Not like I could do better but itâs still pretty decent
The first drawing is my favorite. I love how realistic it looks, while the use of the pen gives it a hint of a whimsical/personal feel. 10/10 would put one or even a series done in that style on my wall.
Itâs really awesome, but I wouldnât call it realism. As much as I like the drawing, itâs still too stylized to be realistic. Again, I really like it, in fact itâs also my favorite. Still, a very fun drawing.
I love how Jazza tries his best to improve his realism skills, itâs really inspires me to work on my weaknesses.
I legitimately love watching accomplished artists work on things that they know they're not the best at and showing that they're still working to improve
Short answer: *yes. he's jazza.*
I donât know how saying anybodyâs name is an answer
Yes Iâm dinoshart.
Yes Iâm a crappy artist
Can yaâll appreciate the fact that he made three realistic drawings for one short video, jeez daz alota effort!
Here's a fun challenge I think: Jazza trying to sculpt something out of an eraser!
@@fluffypotatocow8490 ahh yes I remember now, thanks!đđđtime to binge all weekend and find itđ Well I was thinking like a standard art eraser, and then using a subtractive process carve something đ
NotBigShaq I was thinking of that the other day someone should make a sculpted eraser model
Just watch jazzas back to school video
Of course, my 2 months of free skillshare expires when jazza makes a class
Way to go life : )
Same here... :')
Every illustration are absolutely amazing and i especially love the cabbin in the forest. Keep up the good work.
Jazza: draws with a ballpoint pen and looks nice
People who spent to much on art supplies : f*ck!!

its not about having art supplies expensive prices
its about how the good you draw
IKR!!! Some people spend way too much and don't even draw lol!

Dr. Dragon well in comparison to noobs at art, heâs really good at realism but maybe not compared to experienced artists that specifically focus on realism or something Iâm not really sure so sorry if I got something wrong
His last image looks like he's referencing a chipped, chiselled wooden statue. It's really cool.
Spinny Playz omg yeah
jazza i love the first one sso much
I know how different your actual art style is I'm so proud of you!
Love the landscape and the style you got! I totally want to try this!
Everybody gangsta till jazza draws realism with erasers and still nails it
That would actually be a pretty cool video. Shade in the whole page with pencil and then draw the image with erasers. I've used a similar technique with clouds, so why not a whole drawing.
Jazza: *makes amazing realism art that looks fantastic using freaking ballpoint pens*
Also Jazza: this isnât my strong suit.
He is such a great artist that even his weakpoints in art look great
I donât know if I would call most of this realism. The first is too stylized, the second is an alright attempt, but the third is almost cartoonish(OBVIOUSLY an exaggeration, but still....). I will say, the less realistic style of the first definitely made it better.
Doing realism with ballpoint pens is actually way more fun than youâd think, and can look really life-like aswell! :D
It doesnât look amazing
It doesnât look that good
Loved the video jazza extremely entertaining and made my day!
Number one is fantastic!!! Love how you show that it doesnât matter what your working with!
Why watching his videos make me feel productive while I'm laying in my bed and being a lazy cheeky bastard
Cheeky bastard is jazza language đ
@@Kostyakremlin haha yes it is đ
Cheap ballpoint pens are actually my favorite tool to sketch with! They make you really really aware of the way you use your lines. I found myself using my lines much more efficiently when i got back into pencil. I highly recommend trying it!
Edit: it also helps a lot with learning about values.
Never in a video have I ever wanted to get together with the creator and show them something. I have spent nearly 12 years working with ball point pen and there are some really easy tricks that, would make your already wonderful art, super smooth and contrasted and even more realistic. They are so simple, that just a chat on the phone, and you could master them. You are awesome, thanks for inspiring me to continue to branch out my own art. You are so great!
watching jazza draw in time-lapse always makes me so relaxed.
Jazza: saying his drawing on ball-point pen is bad on realistic.
Me: Wo, that's really cool.
Jazza: it feels like I'm standing at the fence of an abandoned log cabin in the woods. It's really quite nice!
Every horror movie ever: You sure about that?
When you said "I'm using a friggin ballpoint pen" you sounded A LOT like Shad
Wow that looks amazing really beautiful
Jazza you inspire me to keep going with my art with every video, I canât express how much I appreciate you
Aww :)
That's an adorable comment
Thanks for the likes

I love how Jazza tries to justify why some of his artworks donât look as good as they could have been to him while presenting masterpieces
Realism...Jazza's only "weakness"
Or soap? Or candy? Or quilting? Jewelry making? The pottery wheel? . . .
I am impressed at how well those came out! I especially love the first one. Makes me want to try out ball point pens as a new medium for me.
Omg! I LOVE the cabin drawing so much!
Jazza in most of his videos: realism is my down side
Jazza in this video: *draws something amazing*
When Jazza asks "Can I..?", the answer is probably gonna be Yes.
Iâm not an artist by any means what so ever but ball point pens are one of my favorite art supplyâs. I love the rustic look I love that hatch shading. Itâs so real and I love it so much
It, looks very realistic and i,love it my art teacher showed us how the shading to light to dark and that helped me with art
Fact:
JAZZA CAN DO EVERYTHING.
đ¶ Tigers make me feel manly đ¶
but can he make art that is objectively bad?? didnt thiink so
@Alex Lohrey me too lol. sorry it wasnt clear. i was joking that he cant make bad art so that means he cant do everything because he can make only good art
The artist Frank Cho has some very interesting ballpoint art.
Veryy niceee workk !!
You're soo talented đ
God bless youđ
Am I the only one amazed at how he can draw a whole drawing with a ballpoint pen when I can barley get through a sentence without it running out of ink
To everyone who sees this, hope ur having a great day!
You too!
Thank you! I hope your day will be great, too!
Hav a great day too
I'm not, the power just cut off for no real reason although it was scheduled to go off on Sunday.

One way that i was taught in school to draw things especially faces to avoid drawing what u think u know is drawing thinhs upside down.... Also think it would make a great video
He has done something like that, but it wasn't realistic art: czcams.com/video/dL_Lp9bY7Ic/video.html

4 hours ago now actually
Because he privated his video and then uploaded it

When your video is unlisted you can write comments... He had it unlisted before he uploaded the video
Imagine drawing that in the middle of a lesson at school
I had a friend in high school basically draw cartoons or landscapes on the back of tests or on worksheets. We would get marked down for it because out school tried to teach professionalisms. đ but even the strictest teacher didnât have the heart to mark her paper down. Her drawings were beautiful.
I do it pratically every day. I go to an artistic school
I love this style of drawing! I personally love this because I love just black and white drawings. I recently just drew a flower and it was just pencil lines and then I shaded it and I love that style. And when I do color it just doesn't seem good maybe I just dont get it but I love to draw and I will definitely keep drawing hpefuly for the rest of my life. Thank you Jazza for inspiring me to be better.
The 3rd one was my favorite.đ You are an awesome Artist Jazza thank you for always inspiring us.
