Artist Appreciation - Draw With Jazza

I've been doing some looking back and wanted to focus for now on the people who helped inspire me or taught me in the field of art. In this video, I wanted to talk about Jazza, an artist I looked up to as a younger person back then, though even now I still go and watch his new videos from time to time. The contents of this and following videos will just be personal, I don't feel like doing some kind of deep dive documentary on artists, at least not as of the moment.
Oh, and he's also one of the main people who introduced me to warhammer 40k, such is the explanation of this fan art.
A great guy: / @jazza

I found Jazza at the peak of my artistic developmental journey in my younger years (back when I was 9/10 years old) and after watching some of his tutorials, I found myself encapsulated by all the other videos on his channel. I remember coming home from school and checking if he'd uploaded. And if he had, I'd watch it.
Now that I'm 17, and my style and art skills have much improved since then, like you said, I can see little fragments of his style within my own. Even in my sketches, certain aspects of my process are influenced by his art and those tutorials I watched when I was younger. So I really do owe so much of my creative drive to Jazza and his youtube videos.

This was really lovely to both watch and listen to! It can be hard as a viewer, remembering that a real person with real aspirations, goals, struggles, and an entire life is behind the screen we're so used to seeing. I definitely can't (and shouldn't) speak on everything, but something I sincerely use to judge someone's character on, is the people they bring to them. I have been involved in Jazza's community for several years now, and I have met my best friends through the channels. People I talk, work, and play with every single day. Jazza has always done an excellent job of fostering a very loving and accepting community which I, even after years, I still get excited to go in and see what they've been talking about that day! (which is actually how I found this video! An amazing member of the community posted it!)
Its kind of crazy to think how people you may never meet, or even interact with in your lifetime can have such an impact on you as person. They're a piece of glass that makes up your image as person, no matter how brief their time in our lives have been. Its a scary, beautiful thing to think about, and it was very nice hearing about your experiences with that : )
