Hairspray can sometimes work, my mother used to use it for her artwork, but she warned me a very long time ago to never use hairspray if you want to keep your art for a long time; it'll turn your pieces yellow! No idea if it's true, but she showed me some of her work and it has yellowed over time ^^'

As an art student i have used hair spray to seal and finish my drawings with chalk and coal. It may not work with graphite but it does with chalk and coal. The thing is, it may need a couple of coats.

Jazza: used many complex and advanced art tools before
Blending stump: ayup
Jazza: what is this wizardry

[mel_]

I was genuinely shocked when Jazza didn't know about the graphite scribble transfer technique and the blending stumps. I've known about them since first grade art class.

[will.i.kiwalla]

I've watched Jazza for a few years, I've seen him buy a laser printer for art, use over 100 packets of Ramen for art, he's even got a box of Copics with his face on it! Doing cool art stuff I could never dream of creating. And yet, he gets excited by a rolled up stick of paper that I've been using to blend graphite since 7th grade. It's wholesome, but like, how???

We used hairspray in school to seal in our pastel drawings. It was cheaper.

[momsspaghetti]

The hairspray one really depends on which type/brand of hairspray you use, wait until the spray is completely dry and make sure you sprayed every part. ALSO DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU COLORED WITH WATER/INK/ALCOHOL BASED MARKERS, it will smudge and soak through the paper since hairspray often contains water and/or alcohol. I've been using this method for years and it works great. Hope this helps :)

Ahhh... this is *THAT* blending stump video I keep hearing about in the comment section in every video since.

I just love that even the biggest YouTubers are still willing to learn new things and take us on the journey instead of pretending to be experts at everything. It’s one of the reasons I love watching Jazza’s videos.

[annajacobson]

Everyone's all "how did he not know what a blending stump is". Me: how did he not know the transfer technique

[sarah]

My high school art teacher said blending stumps were cheating so I’ve never gotten into using one. I feel like as I’ve grown as an artist I’ve decided very few things are “cheating” the point is to have fun and make things.

the way he was looking at raes tiktok with so much admiration and almost like a fatherly smile is so heartwarming and so cute please

[lonelybiscuit]

I was rather shocked when he didn't know what a blending stump was! I thought it was a common item between artists

[ayushijha]

And suddenly the whole art community decided to test 5 minutes crafts

[CloudMeka]

This is so wholesome, most “reacting to tiktoks” videos I’ve seen on youtube just end up being the youtubers saying how everything didn’t work or making jokes on how bad it is, so thanks Jazza

[dianacourt]

Jazz, your excitement over a blending stump is so pure.

[Stef.Wilson]

Holy I can’t believe my TikTok’s made it on here!! Thanks for the love and I hope they help!! 💜🌸✌️

[crazoid]

I just gotta say... The editor did an amazing job at the end

[claressadubs]

I also learned to use alluminum foil as a disposable palette from a professor at art university. Idk if it works well for all paint types but it certainly makes cleanup of oil paints easy. This teacher/professional artist also used a roll of tracing paper instead of a sketchbook so maybe he just liked rolls of things.

[serenamain]

My grandmother gave me a ton of quality watercolors that were years old, and now years later I'm picking them back up just to learn. They are SO old they're all dried out, definitely still usable, but that back might work for me... I'm totally going to try it!
