Jaja the Artist

Jaja the Artist

Welcome to my art space😊! I’m Jaja, a self-taught artist who specializes in charcoal pencil drawings and sketches. I love art because it creates the opportunity to translate life and existence onto mere paper.
I started to draw & paint out of interest and I believe anyone can learn to draw if only you’ve got the will and an ounce of passion. I’m here to show you my works and provide step by step tutorials to help my colleague artists and novices to learn a thing or two from me.
Enjoy the beauty of artworks here and let me be your art plug giving you the motivation to pick up that charcoal or graphite pencil and start drawing!

    Hello after almost 2 weeks, and amzing art you are really great. I recently purched new charcole pencile and was ready to draw Taylor Swift that you have made the tutorial and I wanna ask that can I use cotton or tissue instead of blending spong pen cause I don't have one or can I just use a new kitchen sponge will it work same I don't know what I am saying but yea 😅😅😂😂

  • @jajatheartist
    @jajatheartistАй бұрын

    Thats nice to hear. Cotton works better than tissue. Cotton presses the charcoal into the paper and gives darker values whereas tissue literally cleans off most of the charcoal on the paper giving it a lighter tone. Tissue is sometimes good when you want to make an area lighter.

    Your art is fabulous but oversimplification and skipping over important parts will not make a tutorial helpful! Building up layers upon layers without making it look messy is the hardest part which unfortunately most KZreadrs never cover in their tutorials!

    Hello Hazel, I have already addressed your concern in my recent tutorials. I post both timelapse and full tutorials in my recent tutorials. This video is one of my earliest content and I'm sorry I don't have the full tutorial to share with you. However, I'm working on a new hair drawing content which I will consider all that you've addressed here. Stay tuned and thanks for the subscription ❤️

    It's amazing and for me curly hairs are kind hard to draw I will try these step to practise more 😃😃

  • @jajatheartist
    @jajatheartist2 ай бұрын

    They are not difficult if you get the direction and hair flow right from the beginning of the drawing. The rest is just building up tonal layers and texture. I'm yet to work on extreme curly hair.
