I've seen the Coppola adaptation and while there are some great ideas behind it - clearly, because there were really good artists behind the movie - I feel like it does not do the book any justice. Especially the character of Mina gets absolutely shafted by the film despite being the most interesting character of the book while at the same time being a really, really good example of a strong female character, who is actually not a Mary Sue. From what I've heard or read about various other Dracula adaptations (TV, big screen, radio, comic, ...), every creator so far has tried to add something of their own invention to Stoker's original and, as a consequence, butchered this or that aspect of what made the original story so good. These aspects may be interesting interpretations in the adaptations in their own right, but IMO at the cost of the value of the story/writing as a whole.

I am really enjoying this series! It touches my heart. My godfather was an artist and I spent a lot of time of my childhood at his place. I fondly remember when me and my nephew, his son, were kids, we often would go to him with ideas we had for monsters or dragons or whatever. And he would sketch as we were describing our monsters. Leaving it uncolored. We then colored them in with the colors we had in our minds. He would then improve our coloring and highlighting it and adding shadow and dimension and stuff to make it look professional 😊. He passed away about a year ago. This series really takes me back to those days. So yeah, I'm really enjoying this. Thank you for that! I hope it goes on for a while!

It proved that you were (in the old timey fashion it was) "manly" by having facial hair, but you had the money to take care of yourself, as opposed to full beards, which were considered to be a symbol of not being able to afford to take care of yourself.

The looks of Voldemort in the Harry Potter films is not scary because they need to meet the film rating of PG to PG-13 so that even the youngsters are allowed to watch it. They need more people to buy tickets to break even. The same goes with other creatures and scary characters in other films.

I think one of the problems with depicting Voldemort in the movie as perfectly as you have drawn him is that Ray Fiennes isn't exactly a marathon runner frame. In addition, all the cosmetics they had to add to create the slit nose over his own expands the face even more.

I actually recall that they made a conscious decision to not make him as physically grotesque and monstrous as he was in the books to avoid having him feel like a cartoonish villain. They wanted to keep just enough of his humanity evident so that you always remember that as magical as he might be he’s ultimately still an extremely demented, sadistic person with a deeply twisted psychological desire to cause pain as opposed to being a cartoon monster who is just evil because he’s a scary monster.

"Don't wanna spoil who this might be, just in case some of you haven't guessed yet." Proceeds to put him on the thumbnail XD Great series, man. I hope to see even more monsters from you. Maybe a MtG creatures series?

I just realized so much. I too, was really disappointed at his first appearance due to this description, but after seeing your drawing I just realized what the description was- an inferi. It wasn’t so much as a snake, it was death itself, which is how I would described an inferi. Interesting how many descriptions of Death itself were in the series. For number 2- I really was thinking of stranger things, but was not smart enough to put two and two together.

I was going to suggest Dracula! When I finally read the book for the first time last year, I was really struck by how different our collective concept of the character is despite how very specific Stroker was in his description. The novel takes place over a fairly long period, during which we know he changes in appearance, so who's to say ol' Drac doesn't eventually look more like Spirit Halloween's interpretation, but this is much closer to the version of the character that Jonathon Harker first meets in act I

Please continue this series! I absolutely love seeing your interpretations of some very well loved characters.

I love how he just guess the characters based on the description this series is creative as well I love it!!!

Oh I really wanna see more mythological creatures drawn from Jazza. Those are some of my favorite ones. The Hopkinsville Goblin was also a favorite. (That was in the character drawing challenge)

I love how I hadn't even read half the hints for the mindflayer when I already knew what it was going to be! :D the description is really good and you absolutely nailed it!! And I really liked the other ones, too! I'd love to see this become somewhat of a series!

Love this series! Although Jazza has probably never heard of the books by German author Walter Moers, I would love to see his renditions of the characters. Especially the characters from "Rumo and His Miraculous Adventures" come to mind: Gornab the Ninety-ninth, General Tick-tock, Friftar, the Demonocles... so many to choose from! 😊

I was so stoked that I guessed the first two without much trouble at all. I LOVE mindflayers. they are so much fun. you nailed that during your sketching. it was so amazing.

1:48 - I literally read those very words in the book today, so I knew instantly who it was. My first time reading it, so fascinating to see your depiction.

I've played D&D for over half my life and your depiction of the Mind Flayer is the most accurate I've seen. Most drawing I've seen look like Cthulu in a robe (they still look badass), but your's hits the mark perfectly!

The mustache for dracula is probably based off of Vlad the Impaler (Vlad III), which is where Stoker drew his inspiration from. Vlad III had a large mustache which are observable in his portraits.

These sketches on paper with all the rough are so much better than the digital ones . They feel more authentic genuine and artistic imho

I watch a lot of your videos ages ago (but never subscribed) and they stopped coming in my recommendations. But now your back :D it's like seeing an old friend. Subbed immediately! I feel your art has improved as well

I really like these cause I can guess before Jazza even starts. But then his imagination goes wild and he go so far and beyond my imagination!

I love your style of drawing monsters. Could you use these descriptions from brazilian folklore in your style? 1 - He is often depicted as a young boy with dark skin and curly hair. One of his most distinctive features is the fact that he only has one leg, and he is often shown hopping around on a red cap known as a "carapuça." His usually portrayed wearing torn clothes and smoking a pipe. He is mischievous and known for playing pranks on people. 2 - A small, fire-haired man with backwards-facing feet. He is believed to be the protector of the forests and all the animals that live within them. His known for his fierce and wild appearance, with his hair standing on end and his eyes glowing red. He is often depicted wearing only a loincloth made of leaves and carrying a wooden club or bow and arrows. 3 - It is described as a large, hairy beast with thick, matted fur that ranges in color from brown to black. His bipedal and has long, powerful arms with huge claws. One of its most notable features is its mouth, which is said to be located on its belly. The creature is believed to emit a strong odor and is often associated with a loud, eerie cry. Legends describe him as a fearsome and dangerous creature that is best avoided.

It's just not fair how easy you make it look 😭

Iam bad at drawing

Jazza, I love your reactions to your work. They are always so chuffed and positive about what tou h as ve done (but not in an arrogant way) Great attitude. You show artists how to be proud of their work.

My pro sketch pack just arrived and I am so excited to get started!!! I’ve loved drawing since I was little but stopped for a long time due to my depression getting the better of me. But now I’m in a much better place and am so grateful you’ve created this and your content to make me fall in love with drawing and art all over again. Thank you truly ❤

From time to time I forget, that Jazza is actually a really experienced artist. And then I get drawn back to it and having a blast. I love this.

Big 👍 on this kind of content, I'm not an artist and kind of skipped your ad for the art box (sorry!) but as someone with aphantasia it was really cool to be able to directly see descriptions in books when I never could before. Great video!

this is my favorite series!! i would love to see more in the future!!!!

Being a bit of a RPG nerd, as soon as I heard the description for #2, I knew exactly what it was and was very excited to see his interpretation of it. :)

For number one, I i actually did know about the mustache, and i always thought "there is no universe in which that doesn't look dumb on this character." I can now say with confidence that you, sir, have proven me wrong. Well done

Jazza seems such a nice and genuine guy. Makes you wonder why his brother is the way he is.

My man! I just recently started reading Bram Stoker's Dracula and have been doing a few character portraits of Dracula per the literature. I was so thrown off by the mustache. I have never once in my life heard a reference to Dracula having a mustache. So happy you did this just days after I did it. Such a wonderful coincidence.

The historical figure that gave him his name has a magnificent one

The Marvel Dracula used to have one. I miss it, it gave him character.

For those of you that don’t know, originally Voldemort was going to be shown in the movies exactly as described in the books, but since they were supposed to be for children too, they had to dim him down to get the rating suitable for children too.

Also the amount of make up on his face was already SOOOO much beforehand and with all of the extra details, the actor wouldn’t be able to talk

Also they stated that with slitted eyes they could get emotions “seen” visually.. like anger or fear without a normal pupil

I like that they went with a more subtle look. Monsters aren't monsters because they look angry and ugly, they are monsters because of their actions.

Wasn’t the Witches movie starring Anjelica Huston also made for children? Obviously they didn’t mind giving kids nightmares back then.

Return to oz and never-ending story laugh at their weakness

Man what I would do for this guy's art skill, its truely incredible.

I would love to see Jazza do any of the monster characters in any of The Stormlight Archive books. I would be interested to see what his version of a Parshendi storm form would look like. Love this video series you have going here.

I absolutely love this series! It's great to see you bring characters/monsters from books to live, the way they were discribed. I would like to contribute a suggestion for a following video: - present day - tall humanoid creature - no pupils - irises are deep magenta or black - dark, heavy circles rimming the eyes - pallor to the skin - an almost discolored, bruised quality - teeth: look filed, coming to an unnatural point, glinting between lips that never seem to close - clothing: long black cloak Mogadorian - I am number four

Jazza, I have been watching and enjoying your videos for a few years now and I really do want to commend you on being an excellent draughtsman. I used to love to draw when I was younger and I appreciate all the time and dedication you have spent on the craft honing your skill. I wish I would have stayed with it to this day and had an ability as strong as yours. Keep up the great work!!

I am soo happy that Tom Riddle popped up in this series! I thought the thumbnail was clickbait but I am beyond happy that it isn't

Glad to say I got all 3 this time. And you did such a good job on the Mind Flayer! That backdrop and hat definitely helped to emphasize how ominous the drawing was. The Dracula was super cool, too. Also didn't know the original description had a mustache - neato!

I love these videos. As much as I love the chaotic unknown of you trying new mediums or weird challenges and screaming in confusion and then creating a masterpiece lol, I really enjoy the stuff like this where we just get to see a wholesome and talented guy create awesome art. Which we do always see in one form or another, but you know what I mean. Compare this to the Bob Ross challenges. Which don't get me wrong, those videos got me through some depressing days, but it's just super nice to watch stuff like this too.

I love it when we get to Draw with Jazza! These videos are always favorite. That intermission where you showed people enjoying your sketch pack felt so 90s PBS Kids lol.

I usually hate watching people draw but you make it interesting and fun

LOVE these! So fun seeing them come to life. Would love to see any of the monsters from the Dresden Files books, but especially the book Death Masks.

I recognized the first description instantly, and your first sketch was so close to perfect, I almost screamed at the computer hen you took it in a different direction. Then you more than made up for it with the illithid. Literally better than any of the official illustrations of them since Diterlizzi's iconic 2nd edition Monster Manual version. Then you gave Voldy the movie nose instead of anything even remotely snake-looking. It literally looks more like "Drawing the movie version, but more scary" than drawing according to the exact description in the book.

Voldy's nose description sort of contradicts itself because snakes all have round nostrils. Although I guess the slits could go the other way and be smaller, but based on the structure of skulls, vertical slits make the most sense.

I’d love to see Jazza’s depiction of a Xenomorph 😍

Yes!!! I knew for sure it was Dracula when you got down to the description of the hands. One of my favorite classics! I love what you did with it!

Bang up job on the Illithid! And Dracula; for that matter, you're extremely creative and I've thoroughly enjoyed all your depictions!

I've been waiting for this series to get to Dracula! He's such a prime example of a character who looks completely different in most adaptations from how the book described him.

I love this series. Let's have this going for as long as we can.

Absolutely agreed! I very rarely comment on KZread videos. Like less than 20 comments ever I think. Here's my 3rd on this video alone to boost engagement and help the series continue. My favourite jazza series yet.

I would really love to see your take on Morgoth both before and after he steals the Silmarils and kills the Two Trees--there is a serious difference in how he is reduced in awesomeness by his evil acts, and also the Mouth of Sauron, since Peter Jackson completely couldn't be bothered to go by the description in the book.

You are a talent! I get so excited to give the pack to my wife! It is awesome the promo still counts! I found the first one really creepy, more than the earlier really big or scary monsters. The second one had some nice colours! although the "white pop" maybe undo a bit of its darkness. As for the third, you did a better job then the movie, awesome!

I LOOOOOOVE your mind-flayer! It has so much individuality and character to it! It gives it a sense of sapience that you don't seem to find in the other examples, at least in my opinion. I'm so glad you enjoy making this series as much as I enjoy seeing it.

I think a fun thing to do would be to put a bunch of descriptions of each body part in different hats and then pull out some random descriptions and create a drawing using them.

Keep em coming, I'm really enjoying this.

16:15 for all my potter heads who came for voldemort

I was so excited as you were drawing the Mind Flayer and I love your depiction! My DND party and I just faced 5 of these terrifying things AFTER just facing a huge fire giant, 3 stone giants and 2 hill giants! Our characters saw their lives flash before their eyes! Lol love this series, can’t wait to see more!

The thing about Dracula being described as having a moustache is he is based on Vlad Tepes, a Romanian ruler who is often depicted as having had bushy facial hair of the type described.

He’s also a product of his time. Mustaches, in that time period, we’re status symbols. They were seen as “manly,” and showed you had extra/disposable money to take care of them. They were (typically) heavily waxed and meticulously trimmed and shaped as the person climbed higher moneywise. Full beards, on the other hand, were indicative of poverty or laziness, since the person doesn’t have the money to just throw away on a facial accessory like that.

I feel like Jazza's depiction of the Dracula is much better than the movies. Its amazing how he manages to pull it off.

I love this series

You should consider selling scans of some of your artwork as posters. I would definitely immediately buy a poster of this Voldemort and of your Balrog from the other video

Yup, as soon as the second description came up, I was screaming "Illithid!! Illithid!! Kill it with fire!!" I've been playing dnd way too damn long xD You nailed that drawing!!!

The instant that I saw the mind flayers description on screen I shouted "mind flayer". As an avid DND player they're my favorite monster to use because of they're refined, almost uncanny valley feel

First time in the series I guessed some monster right. :) The Dracula description reminded me apart from the mustache to Count Orlock, played by Max Schreck in the 1922 Nosferatu. Which is technically a Dracula Movie, they just renamed the characters to try not to get sued. The Mindflayer was easy to guess as an old AD&D player. Your design is closer to the older illustrations from the 80s and 90s. Like it a lot. The Harry Potter things always catch me off guard as I never read the books, and only casually watched the movies. My guess on Voldemort was for a Ghul or similar from some horror comic
