Jazza: *pulls out the very hungry caterpillar*
Jazza: “this really just sent me on an emotional journey-“
Lol
I STILL HAVE THAT BOOK , THATS JUST SUCH A CLASSIC, IM HAVING A EMOTIONAL NOSTALGIC MOMENT
@@AveragePeteyReal Absolutely legendary.
Yes, a childhood favorite (we even still have the cookie jar)
I love the hungry caterpillar, also the rainbow fish and wombat stew when I was younger 😁
Jazza is 30 yrs old, married, has two kids and is shouting “I DEMAND WILLY JUSTICE!!”
30?! He looks atleast...40 tbh
IGarrettI he looks like 23 are you blind
IGarrettI Check his Wikipedia page. 1989
@@IGarrettI he looks younger than his age to me. I thought he was younger than me lol
@Ender Pearl He's 30. He hasn't had his 31st birthday yet
I've got another reading prompt: James Gurney's "Color & Light - A Guide For The Realist Painter". Helped a ton in explaining how to think when painting anything, thorough explanations and examples abundant! The artist is responsible for illustrating "Dinotopia", and is well versed in contemporary art. A very good read that I end up coming back to whenever I have a problem, or just want to study a specific atmosphere or light situation.
OooOoo this sounds very interesting, I need to check this out now!!!!
@@claymore7315 James Gurney has his own YT channel. You should check it out as well.
I was literally about to suggest James Gurney's book. Such a great resource. I love all of his art books.
I just bought that this past weekend! Its fantastic!!
Amen, Gurney's books are amazing
I love that the zombie head sculpture in the background is nibbling on his shoulder
Hey Jazza! I saw your soap sculpting videos a few days ago and I saw that you said that you would come back to it later because you wanted to get a big bar of soap to sculpt. So, I figured out that you can buy glycerin soap *which might I add can be melted into a bigger bar* to sculpt. So I as I am seeing this video minutes after it is posted I hope you read this and this comment helps you to do that video again. Because I want to see what you would be able to do with a bigger sculpting base.
Thanks!
it so sweet you caught this video as early as possible so you can get him some good information i hope he sees this!
I have the animators survival kit and it’s so good😂
He’s not joking it’s literally the animation bible
I have it too
Same here
Surprised no one has mentioned Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain.
If you liked the Animators Survival Kit, you'll love the Animators Survival Kit Animated. It's a complete animation master class given by Richard (r.i.p.) at Blue Sky. (And, no, I won't be compensated for this plug.) theanimatorssurvivalkit.com/
Hazardous Duck i looked on amazon and it's hundreds of dollars. Is it worth it?
Posted less than 15 mins ago but already 4 dislikes? I feel like there are just haters on youtube with the sole purpose of disliking videos as fast as possible smh
synth15 I agree
It’s bots
Sometimes it's just lag on your phone. I can't count how many times I have unintentionally disliked or even liked something, especially when a call is coming in.
sorry I won't do it again
There are actually bots active on channels with 2 Million subs or more that dislike after a video is uploaded (the first dislikes are bots )

The Oxide series by Korean artist Kim Hyung Tae. The greatest part about Kim's work is that he says "draw with the fat". The idea being that so many character books talk about musculature and skeleton, but ultimately fat is what adds interest to a character's shape. Breasts, stomach, hips, thighs, calves, arms, cheeks all of these areas are made more interesting and dynamic by manipulating the way the fat rests on them. Take the same character, make them pure muscle (starting point). You can change their entire history and purpose by where you place fat and weight. There's others, but that's a great place to start if you want to make characters.
I was with you until you made me feel ancient... "I was 14 when World of Warcraft came out"... ugh... I was 27.
But that aside, thank you for showing these book. Some I have, some I now want to check out.
Don't worry its fine! Its great to see WoW players of all ages
Not to worry. I am 66 and like watching Jazza, but my formative art years was inspired by art nouveau story books from the early 1900s.
If Jazza himself is an Art Book
then he'd be one of my Top Art Book that shaped my Drawing Skills
He has his own books
Thats too wooooshy to even woooosh....
Zyfhen ok
@@prinxipie1037 I wish I could duplicate my like to make several likes on your reply
Mine would be super rae dizzle and drawing wiff waffles
Only watched a video but I love it it’s amazing ! The thing I love about Jazza is he puts so much effort into his videos and as an artist you can relate to him . He doesn’t make short videos which I love because you get to enjoy him for longer when there decently long like this one . Love you jazza
The Loomis books are well known and constantly recommended in the art community!! Been drawing for years and years and I still think these books are a must read for any artist. They're super old so I think they might be public domain. They're very easy to find and download for free.
They were recently reprinted so they are available to buy now.
I don’t have that many art books but these are the books that I have:
- The Animator’s Survival Kit
- Steven Universe Art and Origins
- The Art Of Over The Garden Wall
- Drawing The Head and Figure (Jack Hamm)
- I have a book on Greek Art, Roman Art and architecture, and also Mayan art that I still need to read at some point
Most of those books I bought second hand from our local library’s book sale.
How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, also helped me a lot, particular with Perspective. The art feels a bit dated now, but the tips still feels useful.
I really miss that style of art. Most of the current stuff leaves me cold.
Jazza: BOOKS THAT SHAPED MY CAREER
ME: *CAN BARELY SHAPE A CIRCLE....*
i can't draw at all..:P just kidding, i can. :P but i'm always constantly told that i need to study anatomy and such, and i have no idea how to do that. i'm serious.
It's all in the shoulder my friend 😂😂
( )
That is half a circle
@@ahedjehad8514 go to Proko's channel for a few hours and you'll be set
@@TheArtofKAS i have tried proko multiple times, but he just ends up confusing me. also, he only talks about how to draw anatomy and such, and not showing how to do it. also, most of his tutorials (the actual how-to-draw stuff) needs money and such..

Somewhere in this video, I got inspired.
I want to draw Anubis with more detail, depth, and movement than I have ever done.
I'm going to take this seriously, and I'm not going to rush through it.
Something amazing starts today.
any update 2 years later?
@@c6d1a I actually was really happy with my progress. It was such a different experience from my usual rushed artwork. But I still didn't finish it because I seriously struggle with humanoid characters. It was a huge step for me though, and I haven't had as much issue since then. I'm proud of a lot of my work now. I may not have the original to show you, but I can show you some more recent works.
After many years of watching and rediscovering this channel again a week ago this video made me finally subscribe, you're a truly real and wholesome man Jazza and have inspired me to keep going in my own art ambitions. Hope your channel keeps growing!
The fact that most of the books you covered in this video paved my early years as well puts a big smile on my face
The Canadian - Australian bond just tightened that much more
Awesome video Jazz’s, loved all of your suggestions :)
Jazza I found out yesterday that my art teacher watches you. He has your book out on display for us to read!!!
I loved this video! I have over 150 "art of" and "how-to" books at this point. I always love going back to them whenever I have artist block or you just need that bump of inspiration! I feel a lot of artists like to hide the fact they use references and use books like these to inspire them! Thank you for putting out there that it's perfectly okay to own and reference these books! I try to put that across in many of my own videos as well! Thanks! :)
You are my inspiration and I hope you keep making great videos continuously because I really enjoy them
I love ancient Egyptian art that's most of my inspiration I used to do when I was after I was 3 years old
Me: Sees title, clicks to see if we shared the same books.
Yes, we did!
Three big influential books for me are "Drawing People" by Joumana Medlej, "Understanding Comics" and "Making Comics" by Scott McCloud. The first is a good jumping off point for drawing more diverse people, and good tips for general posing and expressions. The second two are a neat look at comics as a craft, and I honestly recommend Understanding Comics even if you're not an artist, but just are interested in the medium in general.
All on my list too!
This video and the battle to death of pens are my 2 favorite jazza videos, heck my 2 favorite on RUclips, u just can't beat em'
I'd have to recommend Making Comics by Scott Mcloud, because not only is it all about the fundementals of creating comics, it's all relayed to you in the form of a comic!
Making Comics is great, but McCloud's Understanding Comics is even better. Everybody who likes comics -- creating them, collecting them, or just reading them in the Sunday newspaper -- ought to read it.
I'm mostly self taught. I never really got the hang of art practice books because the style of the published illustrations was difficult AF to redraw in my own style, so I kinda just gave up and drew my own stuff with not much outside help.
My favorite how to draw book is probably older than Jazza himself. Despite being old, it's really held up and I think is the best for anatomically correct drawings. The book is called how to draw animals by jack hamm
Thanks Jazza! I will be ordering your book today. I wish i could have you sign it! Thanks for all the great info.
Jazza really changed the way I looked at my art and opened me up to a whole new world of styles and experimentation! Thank you, Jazza! You're awesome!
I'd be remiss if I didn't highly recommend Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life. It is a beast of a book, and it is pricey, but the way it shows anatomical structure of human beings by breaking it down into blocks in the particular way Bridgman does it really helped me to understand human anatomy. Reading and referring to this book feels like it has levelled up my art skills in a big jump.
I have an Art Attack 'How To Draw' book that I've had since I was around 6ish. It lives on my shelf to this day (I turn 19 this month) as, unsurprisingly, my art journey was inspired by Art Attack.
Jazza YOU have inspired me SO much to get back into painting, which is something I've loved and lost, so to speak. You've also inspired me to begin a new journey with digital art.
Keep being awesome!
Love your artwork jazza. Inspires me to improve my drawing skills. But most of all your work ethic and enthusiasm has truly inspired me to just get things done... Keep up the great work mate. 👍🏼
Me: *crying*
Jazza: *uploads*
Me: How convenient :*)

As a person who's aiming to go to school for a bachelor's in art and animation this was extremely inspirational and helpful to my small worried ego that's attached to my skills, may it be animation, my art or anything else. This was a really helpful video and I hope I can one day get my hands on maybe one or two of the books shown in this video. I've always doubted my art skill due to the fact that I lean towards strange art and that my artist's attitude which makes me feel like I'm never good enough but this was extremely helpful, Thank you Jazza! You're the best! You've been one of the huge uplifting people that I watch that has kept me optimistic about my drawings and my dreams too. Thank you SO much! You'll never know just how much you've kept me happy and optimistic towards so many things!
I have been reading a lot or Art books lately and I was so curious about this! So thank you for making this!
Honestly I’m one of those people that wears headphones just to help me focus, no music, no vids in the background.

@@iusss whoops
Jazza's Jazzy Art Worm
thank you so much for this video! my favorite way to learn new things is with books, and lately, I've been thinking about getting better at drawing. so thank you!
I love Mark ! He made me fall in love with drawing. He really helped me out when I was younger and even now. Wonderful artist and can’t recommend him enough! Loved the how to draw manga book and graphic novels are really enjoyable. They have very different styles but I love that he had his book! ❤️
Whenever I meet someone online that wants to start drawing, I always tell them this:
1. Realize that Art is something you actually want to do.
2. Go to Jazza and learn that Art is fun.
3. Read 'Perspectives Made Easy' by Ernest R. Norling.
4. Read the comments below this, we had a discussion.
Thanks
Someone who wants to START DRAWING or someone one who wants to know what is drawing? Because if someone wants to actually start drawing, then they need to learn from sources such as Proko. If they go with Scott Harris on Udemy, they will have to UNLEARN a lot of things. I know because I did. Once you get more experience, you start noticing how wrong his course is, how full of mistakes he is himself. You just can't know it until you get good knowledge somewhere else, and it's sad, because people fill themselves with bad information and bad art habits. Not to mention that it's been more than 5 yeas and his course hasn't changed at all (still same mistakes).
Sorry, I felt like I had to save newcomers from jumping into the same hole I did years ago.
And that misleading pricing he has... On his own website he sells the same courses for $400+, on Udemy its always under $10 or so, and there is another site where it's posted for FREE (supposedly for students who can't afford it, as description says). So he's hoping for idiots to come upon his site and grab it for $400, without knowing about other options.
@@a.b.1870 Huh, I started out drawing five years ago and when I picked up Scott Harris' 'Complete Character Drawing Course' I improved more than I ever had in only a month or two.
But this is kind of a problem for me too because everywhere I go on the internet, someone is telling me: "Don't do this, it's shit - go to this guy instead."
I can only tell you from my experience, Scott Harris's courses have improved my drawing quite a lot and people that I've sent there have also told me they are making improvements. Granted, he's not perfect but he did help me nail down the art fundamentals and taught me a lot of tips that I still use to this day.
HOWEVER, I fucking agree with you - Udemy is a sketchy website. They have 90%-99% sales *every month* and pretends like it's a one-time thing.
Not only that, but all other courses except Scott Haris's art courses have been dogshit.
I'm not going to stand here and protect someone, I just tell you what I know from my own experience. (However, I'll add that into the OG so people don't accidentally run into the $400-ploy).
@@a.b.1870 Also, I'm not some kind of pro-artist, but I've gone from shitty flat drawings without perspective to ok drawings in less than a year on that course.
Just so you know, you'll probably win in an art-length pissing contest.
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
I have so many of those same books. Growing up I always had some kind of art book on me, almost like a security blanket that went along with any sketchbook I had. I haven't really used any how to draw books in the last several years, but I still collect them because I remember how awesome it felt looking through them and learning something new from a different artist.
Such an important contribution to artists of every age! Jazzy continues to give generously of his knowledge and inspiration!
I've never been so early! I should be at school tho.... im in england!!!!! love you jazza :)
Mark crilly's "The Drawing Lesson " for me. I really loved the book
Oh Boy! This is Too Impresive😱.thank you jazza you inspired me to draw!
Your art really inspires me! I started watching your videos and I started drawing again! When I was little I got a drawing manga book and I spent so much time redrawing the pictures myself, learning my own style. It was fun! I want that animation book, I've been trying my hand at animation and I really want to get better at it!
I almost cried when he pulled out the markcrilley book cause it reminded me of the old old days.
Understanding Comics the invisible Art by Scott Mc Cloud is an amazing book!
And Making Comics
the fact that you can see elements of each book in Jazza's style is really interesting
IM SO EARLY!!!
Hello jazza! Love you and your content! You always bring giggles to me when i'm down. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and experiences with us!
Me: reading the book
Jazza: just looking at the drawings to inspire him
I love the Andrew Loomis books, they are my go to reference
Thts my cousin!...
Jk 😁😂🙌 always thought it was weird we have the same last name, not very common
The reprints on Amazon are reasonably priced, and darn nice hardcover books.
Woah wait this is so cool! I recognize some of these books bc my mom is an abstract painter,, rly shows how involved the entire community is ^^
I noticed that Illusion of Life book on your shelf!! That book, and the Smithsonian Collection of Comics really inspired me to look at commercial art more seriously
You should try to draw a picture without sharpening the pencil even once. Please try this.
Yes
Sounds painful
That moment when you want to sharpen your pencil and realise you forgot the sharpener, so you try to go on without but it's just painful
What happens when you run out of lead to use? Could you grab another pencil and keep going on?
Ugh! My first pencil project for an illustration class used up about 10 pencils for a final drawing that took me about that many hours to produce. After that, I bought my first electric pencil sharpener.
I too aspire to become an artist like you! You have been a huge inspiration to me! 😊
You should make the brief thing a challenge. Give us all a brief and see what everyone comes up with I love things like that :)
I got your book for my birthday last year. I’m a big fan of the book. It helped my to give my passion for drawing a reboot and started drawing agian. Thanks for the inspiration.
my book was/is "The art of Oddworld Inhabitants: the first ten Years"
god deam! this are powerful pictures!
This is my earliest accomplishment. Yes
I have an old drawing 101 book, with several big chapters!
Chapters:
1.) Cars
2.) Dinos
3.)marine mammals
4.) dessert animals
besides the chapters, every 20 pages or so he gives advise in case your struggling, and on the very first page it comes with paper, or it was left in the pocket from 10 years ago. unfortunately I never got to use it, but I did donate it to my art teacher, for the kids to use so they don't get distracted while looking up references on their phones.
Excellent showcase! All those books look really helpful. Thanx.
Love this video! Helps a lot of beginning artists (such as myself) learn some very good literature and tutorials to help us develop and grow. (P.s, love the lil’ castle crashers plushness you’ve got on your shelf!)
Stan lees how to draw comic books are amazing, everyone should at least read one before they die
For my birthday I got a huion tablet because you made them seem so great, and honestly it is. I love it so much and my digital art after just 5 minutes of playing with it. Thank you so much for showing me it!
Wonderful video! ❤️ I loved the "Justice for Willie's" comments lol 😂😂

Not a book ... but the single most thing that has reawakened my love for art and drawing is my discovery of this channel and you Jazza, not to sound cheesy or like a fangirl but having only relatively recently discovering your channel and spending what was probs a few months watching your entire upload history oldest to newest, your never ending positive attitude and obvious love for the craft is infectious to say the least, you truly are inspirational and have reawakened in me a love i had as a young girl in drawing and creativity so for that I thank you immensely. I have been in a downward spiral in my life since I was disabled by a spinal condition and made to resign from a job i loved in caring for people with psychiatric problems/issues. Felt like i'd lost my purpose sitting at home all day playing games watching stuff on my laptop... since discovering your channel i'm feeling the desire to draw more and be creative and i'm enjoying it very much x so thanks again for being you.

Very nicely done! The two books I remember most influencing me were done by Gil Elgren and Alberto Vargas! They were textbooks how to draw etc. But the two that kept me going with these. I created my first Calendar based on one of the pinup calendars I saw in my uncles garage done by Elvgren! Really enjoyed this video Jazza I rather like it when you don’t go too crazy or are out there!
Watching your videos is always inspirational and that me brought to learning arts
So thank you so much for making these videos

I really love your book, and I recently picked up on the draw 21 book.
Great list of books! I already own The Animators Survival Kit and Draw With Jazza Creating Charecters, which have definitely been very helpful in learning the basics and so on. Definitely going to keep an eye out for those other books. 😀

Almost anything by 3D total publishing is inspiring to me... Particularly the Sketching from the Imagination series. I love seeing the rough work of artists
Holy frick Jazza, you save me! currently I'm working on an animation where I let my character run. It looked awful!
I was about to give up and close the project so decided to watch this video of yours.
When I saw that one close up of the animation running cycle, I paused the video and took a good look at it.
Just by looking at it, I could understand how a running cycle works.
I decided to open my project and tried that methode.
It looks so much better now that I took the time for it and know how to let them run. (3d animation by the way)
Now I can continue without any worries thanks to you.
Thank you Jazza!!
