2:22 I love how Jazza's redrawn character looks like he would steal your peanutbutter and jelly sandwich and would give you his subway sandwich instead
That’s what I was thinking too. Alex totally one hundred 💯 percent belongs in that world 🌎. I think he would have been a skater boy of some kind based on his choice of clothes, but that may be just me. What do you think Alex’s personality and role in the show would have been?
I'm 45 and been drawing since I was 12 and Jazza still draws better than me. I practice so if I keep practicing, I might be as good as Jazza at 55 maybe? 😁
Lol true it feels so cringe and embarrassing but it’s also important growth to be kind and accepting and not judgmental to ourselves, both past and present. It’s okay! The only way to get better is to practice. So the sucky things are actually something we needed to improve and learn!
I actually prefer the unintentionally buff guy before the redraw, he looks nerdier and more like a character out of something like emperor's new groove.
So the Alien guy has side characters and maybe even a little bit lore? Sounds like an upcoming Tabletop Time session. And please keep the overacting Tick vibe in the story.
Woah we all young kids on youtube? I'm also making childhood art right now I've started drawing on flipa clip but I'm not so sure it will hold that I could draw it again later
I also just realized the only way I can redraw my old art is art from when I was 5..... but that's still only 6 years ago and my current artwork's not nearly changed as much as it could've in 20 years.
Jazza's comfort level with his viewers is on another level. I love how pure and honest he is, especially when he talked about how he drew the cool kids to feel cool. Thank you for everything that you do for the art community ❤️
As a socially awkward high school artist, I feel exactly what you described about designing characters that are cool because you weren't cool yourself. Hearing you talk about your teenage years gives me hope for my future, and I really appreciate it, even if you don't know it.
Alex reminds me so much of Bobby from A Goofy Movie! “It’s a leaning tower of cheeza!” (Spraying cheezwhiz into his palm). 🤣 These videos are so reassuring for artists who feel they’ve never made progress and yet, the work of before and after always speaks for itself.
If you wanted to, I'm sure you can learn. The biggest thing, which even young Jazza had done, was putting time into it and having fun growing. Everyone can learn art IF they actually want to.
When you're a kid with delusions of artistic grandeur, you practice these things. I decided I was going to be a famous author in like first grade and intentionally designed a cool signature by the time I was 11 or 12
I like how jazz starts right away especially since all the other videos I’ve seen of people recreating old art they take like half the video going through them instead of actually doing what the title says
Your 'JarJar' original character actually looks a lot like other characters from Invader Zim or Treasure Planet. I wonder if you'd seen some of those cartoons back then.
It hurts my heart to hear people had a less than stellar go in high school. My hope for you Jazza is that you really get a sense of how many people would love to be around you now! Just for you being you, not your internet fame. Like I would kill to play D&D with you guys if I lived over there! You're a hell of a guy! Your art is obviously great, and everything you do for the community is awesome! Keep being you!
Don't worry jazza, being cool is completely under rated. It's too much pressure trying to be like everybody else, just be yourself and you see millions of people like that👍🏽
I've followed your channel for a few years now and hearing your stories about growing up, this is PROOF that even when you go through bad times (even years) that it will get better. You had your art to get you through it. May anyone see this or hear your stories, know, just power through it, and IT WILL GET BETTER
Well this is what you call 20 years later,and this is quite nice. Cause I always wanted to redraw my drawing that I drew as child. Also this video is basically: *nostigla*
Im 18 now, and i got into art about a year and a half ago. I'm sad that I didn't get into way sooner so I can grow and have the memories to look back on like here
We want to see your alien character animated. It's obvious he was prepared to be animated. With his own storyline maybe? It'll be awesome to see it come to life :)
I can definitely imagine Alex being this character who acts really cool all the time and always tries to do dumb stunts to get the attention of people and become popular, and he hangs out with a few unpopular people who he is "too cool for". The first guy could be the nice friend, and the moral compass of the group. Idk
OMG, Mullet and fingerless gloves! These are things straight out of my high school days late 70's...and disco. Oh man, It brings back memories. Please redraw more of you school days art.
I just noticed this but Jazza doesn't really do video series or the same themed videos since the RUclipsr Hero/Villains series. I feel like sometimes he might run out of ideas but if you have an established series going it gives stability for the creator and smth viewers can expect - like a 'draw your kid's art' series is a perfect example, it's 'sustainable content'
Just be friends with everyone and spread the love and friendship abundantly. These are free gifts everyone can benefit from. Smiling at someone who is sad is a very good place to start. Spread love and peace and our world could be an amazing place 🥰.
As an artist growing up I can understand and feel every detail of what you have just said. Especially about the ending line work to define a characters perspective. I am 30 and still learning and amaze how much my art work has changed over the years.
Would love to see more of this whole redrawing old art, definitely cool to see you giving kids and new artists that “don’t give up/practice makes perfect” vibe. Keep doing your thing!
Definitely keep it going! I found you while receiving chemotherapy nearly 3 years ago, and haven’t stopped watching since! Thank you jazza for your brilliance!
Man, that statement of yours from when you were young hit me hard right here. We're the same age and we share a love of art, but on the other hand I couldn't follow the same path, my childhood and adolescence were pretty fucked up. Nowadays I can still sketch things that most people think is cool, but I still haven't reached the professional level I always wanted. Congratulations on your work, your art inspires me.
You seriously need more of these kind of video, of you redrawing your art from your past and longer. It's fun to see the difference between both versions.
Jar-jar deserves all the love. Happy when this concept is exercised on the artist's own art than anyone else's art. Not the biggest fan of the concept otherwise but I love seeing how artist's appropriate/ innovate ideas from their past selves!
I always reminisce on high school when I see fingerless gloves! I used to wear them all the time, and so did some of my friends. I can't picture them during that time without their "signature" fingerless gloves
As someone who is addicted to redrawing their older art, I REALLY want to redraw every single thing in Jazza’s old sketchbooks
Yes
PHATT MOOD
Do it
Yo do it man. Post it and tag jazza he would love that

I would definitely like to see Jazza draw his old characters as how they're doing now, 20 years later
THIS IS GENIUS

@@kittyrose1245 yes! I agree with you! And he would sing a very disney-esque song about being cool.
He looks like a Jimmy Neutron character
I love how when Jazza finds a character he remembers his reaction is similar to that of seeing your childhood friend
Fingerless gloves are the coolest thing ever, and you can’t convince me otherwise.
@Jrod hi
The emo style
Light sabers
Iron man helmet
Self washing toilets
And no one should
Yeah in my teens fingerless gloves was very popular haha
Please If you still in high school and there is a shy, arty kid please be friendly to him/her! And maybe you will be great friends!
That's actually me, except for the shy part.
and maybe you wil be the one who sees the rising of the new jazza. xd
I am that shy arty kid lol in Highschool
I'm that kid, tho I'm in elementary school
Thats me.
The idea of a monster having three arms but only one leg is actually pretty funny. I think it'd be funny to watch him fight Larry of Lancelot😂
Maybe Larry cut off his other leg and now he has come back for revenge.

It’s crazy what being consistent can help you achieve.

Headcanon: Alex and the Alien are the same entity and the only thing the alien kept the same during a transformation was the smile.
this is actually genius
What a plot twist
and he studied human culture through 80's sitcoms and movies, causing him to look like he belongs in one
I'd really love to see something where that Alien guy is expanded upon. But overall, this video was a lot of fun. Keep at it.
Don't talk to me! I am famous! Don't dislike my good good GOOD videos! Don't talk to me, dear arri
@@AxxLAfriku k then
Same, I think that alien character has a lot of opportunity to be expanded and built upon.
It looked like Jazza already expanded upon him and made a whole universe around him in high school, but it would be cool to see him recreate that now.
I would love if all these characters were all in one story. Imagine how hilarious that would be.
Jazza looking at his old art: Let’s remake this and see what I’ve learned.
me looking at my old art: *_BURN IT ALL._*

I agree, he seemed kind of like a shy awkward dork
I think if he had kept the pants loose like they were before it would have made it look more balanced and still dorky
He looks like Fortnite Jonesy kind of

Nah, stop beating yourself up. Your drawings will, some day, be great if you keep practising.
I love how even tho it was 20 years ago he still has the same feel of his style, I like that
This is just a wholesome video of how much jazza has grown over the years. It’s just great to see him so happy with how he has improved.
Am I the only one shook that this man's signature hasn't changed?!?!
When you're a kid with delusions of artistic grandeur, you practice these things. I decided I was going to be a famous author in like first grade and intentionally designed a cool signature by the time I was 11 or 12
“Fingers gloves... were like the coolest things on the planet, and frankly I still think they are” -Jazza
Me in 1st grade: *cant colour within the lines*
Me as an 18 year old illustrator: *still can’t colour within the lines*
Lol Jazza usually colors outside the lines too so you’re in good company!
I still get sore fingers by the time I'm done coloring ;-;
The trick is to try to color less within the lines and then focuse on the edges in the end
I have the problem where I'm so used to drawing without any lineart I automatically stop functioning when I try and colour in lineart
Would be interesting to see Jazza do a comic book of his alien hero and all the enemies he had designed.
I love everything about this, the talk, the through back, the old style vs the new style, the honesty is just great content
I like how jazz starts right away especially since all the other videos I’ve seen of people recreating old art they take like half the video going through them instead of actually doing what the title says

Your 'JarJar' original character actually looks a lot like other characters from Invader Zim or Treasure Planet. I wonder if you'd seen some of those cartoons back then.
