I have a similar problem.

I can't draw medieval weapons, but I can draw a mean M-16. So, all of my Knights of the Round Table have automatic weaponry.

I feel your pain, Jazza. I feel your pain.

Clear, clean, step by step with entertaining commentary to keep the attention.
Nicely done. You've earned a new Sub.

Also, I'm so glad you're having so much fun with this content! It really shows in the quality.

Quick addition at 9:30 which Jazza forgot to mention. When you're selecting the lineart to create a selection, make sure you have contiguous ON (check box at the top). That will isolate the line work in segments and not select all the white at once.

Dang that gaussian blur made it look like he's jumping off a cheese pizza

"But wait, there's more!" Jazza, that was a solid American accent

[Simon_Electric]

I've been coming back to this tutorial for years just to remember how to start coloring correctl. I don't use Photoshop often but when I do it for something very specific. Thank you Jazza.

This is exactly the video I needed. I've been trying to teach myself digital artwork and have not found a ton of helpful tutorials on how to go from traditional to digital. And it also helped demystify why so many artists started drawing in red and blue pencil. Thanks Jazza!

[MrDGUI]

I love the way you explain what you're doing and how to do it. And how enthusiastic you are Jazza! Suscribed a few months ago and even bought your signature brushes, now I can't stop using them and practicing as often as possible!

Keep up the good work it's always a pleasure to watch your videos and your tutorials!

[nessnixtony]

Love your vids much!!! My son and I watch them to get great tips and to hone our craft. (He's a 10-year-old aspiring manga artist.) In 10 minutes, we learn so much REAL, VALUABLE, immediately USABLE information, all given without a bunch of BS to wade through and nothing dry or boring as well. Really engaging, helpful, and so motivating and inspiring because you make us feel like we can all do it, too! Thanks, Jazza!

An alternative way for the latter part:
Once you have removed the blue lines, instead of doing the whole Multiply thing, you can also save your image as a psd or png file, open it with GIMP (shut up, bear with me), go to "Color" then "Color to alpha/transparency" and then have GIMP remove all the pure white tones in the drawing, so you end up with only your drawn lines with no pixelated edges because it smootly calculates how much white is in each pixel and then only removes that amount, so the edges of your black lines will softly fade into transparency if you zoom in all the way.
It's a really great technique for getting rid of that pesky white color that keeps you from having your lineart isolated. So far, I haven't been able to find this function in Photoshop. Double-clicking a layer and then moving the slider at the bottom of the first layer style tab is alright for very rough white-removal, but it does leave you with jagged corners and less than optimal results overall.

[JelArts]

Thanks for these helpful tips! I definitely learned a lot from this.

[CheeseTaterson]

Holy crap, this was pretty much my biggest hangup with switching over to doing digital art, and you managed to clear it up within just a few minutes. Cheers!

[thatdrewrivers]

I know you're way too polite and professional to ever do it, but I would love to see you have a section on either this or the Daily Jazza channel a monthly or possibly weekly video called, "But, JAZZzzzzaaaAAA...." Were you address the whiny and pedantic in a fun but verbally facial slapping, occasionally comedic ranty way! :)

[FoxRedTail]

Jesus Christ... I spent ONE YEAR trying to find a way to do what you just have done in this video. I found tutorials, I made experiments, and I never succedeed. After all this time, you just solved my problem. THANK YOU JAZZA, YOU'RE SO FUCKING AWESOME!

[Maskambrazzz]

Jazza i didnt even realize your drawing a medieval dagger i was busy focusing on your tutorial. Its mind blowing

[HeyJack-klyj]

HOW JUST HOW?!?!?! You have earned my sub

[ActuallyAFungus]

OBVIOUSLY the army guy used to be an avid anthropologist and has a preference for medieval weapons. they are probably custom made tempered steel. also, given this info it'd be safe to say that he is also an interrogator who uses medieval style torture devices to get information from uncooperative enemies.

[markuscreation]

It is really cool how much Jazza knows about Programms for digital art! Also the lighthearted way of teaching it.

I've watched this video before, but didn't pay attention and really should have. I've been taking an image and deconstructing it by making 100 white to black pixels then selecting each one and putting each at a different layer before turning them all to black and changing the transparency of each layer to what it was. Turns out I could've just selected multiply if I was patient. This is gonna save me hours. Thank you Jazza!
