Keep up the good work! “ and… until next time, I’ll see you later”. It is wonderful to see someone from Gippsland doing what they love and sharing it with the world. It makes a great reference for character design and was how we come to know about Jazza’s amazing talents in the first place. The book follows the same process that he uses on his YouTube channel. Then with reference material in hand and a framework character to start us off, he takes us through the steps of brainstorming and thinking through every aspect of the character until we reach a completed design and deliverable artwork. Much like writing a story, he encourages us to find out as much as we can about our character and their world before we begin.
DRAW WITH JAZZA ART PIECES HOW TO
Josiah shows us how to design characters on purpose such as you might for a brief, but also for yourself and for fun. The notes that accompany the illustrations are a detailed wealth of knowledge and practical experience ready to be tapped into. His book is not like other ‘how to draw’ books. More recently, Josiah Brooks published a book on the character design process called Creating Characters. Certainly, our son, currently 11 years old, has improved his drawing since subscribing to Draw with Jazza. He makes it look so easy, you feel like giving it a go yourself. Members of his audience help him to work out a character brief and then he takes us on the journey of development as he first brainstorms with sketches, then works his way through to a finished character and artwork, completing the session with a story. It’s fascinating watching Jazza stretch his skills and problem solve, all while entertaining us and producing beautiful artwork.ĭrawing and inventing characters is Jazza’s speciality, so, of course, his character design sessions are just as amazing. Many of us will have used white out-but not with the amazing results achieved by Jazza. Our favourite content is the art challenge. Watching Jazza draw is both mesmerizing and inspiring. As his channel rapidly grew in popularity, his content included more art-related entertainment. In 2011 he began his YouTube channel as a way of sharing his skills and passion for character design and animation. After continuing his passion for drawing throughout his high school years, he went on to become a self-employed game developer and independent animator.

By thirteen, he was creating animated content for the internet. Josiah’s journey to running his own successful YouTube channel, as well as publishing his own book, is one of those inspiring stories that we love to hear.Īt age eleven he developed an interest in drawing, inventing characters and story telling. ‘‘G’day ladies and gentleman, welcome to Draw with Jazza, I’m Jazza and today we’re going to…” is the cheerful greeting of local artist, animator and popular social media personality Josiah Brooks, as he introduces his very popular YouTube channel of arty entertainment: Draw with Jazza.
