How to Draw Demons

[@lodewijk.]

Wow thanks! My self portraits have really improved thanks to this!

[@Synovia]

lol

[@lodewijk.]

+TheCoco BeanGamer you think it's a joke?

[@waters.of.oblivion]

+Doodling Dork It's pretty funny.

[@karlmc7315]

OMFG 😂😂😂

[@tommysheridan4447]

Self portait... YOU'RE A DEEEEEEEMON

[@phant0m0th_]

I applied these tips and tricks to drawing trolls, goblins and ogres. Right now I have this obsession with drawing mythical/fantasy creatures.

[@theriffwriter2194]

I found the tutorial on monster\demon drawing beyond useful. Once I realized I could just warp the features that I've been drawing for years, the sky was the limit. I've also been drawing animals for years so I simply applied the lesson to animals and the results where pretty awesome. This one lesson has inspired and reinvigorated my interest in drawing like nothing else . I feel like I'm 16 again. I've read dozens of sci-fi and fantasy art books and all they have is the same step by step lessons of someone else's idea of a monster. Not one taught how to create anything original. You are the best online art teacher by light years. 99.99% of all of the so called KZbin art tutorials are just speed drawings of people showing off. They teach NOTHING!!! I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on the same "warping" applied to body anatomy of mutant /monster/demons. I noticed you have a pretty cool slender man painting for example . I had no intentions on making this message this long. It just turned out that way. I'm sure you are very busy teaching the world art. Thank you for your time. You're F-ing awesome.

[@Jazza]

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support! I'll definitely keep your tutorial suggestion in mind!

[@TeamTNTunicorn]

I second this.

[@Sharkbayy]

I agree XD

[@magnuspedersen2542]

I'm sorry m8. Light years is a distance just like meters. Not an amount of time.😂 But I agree with, you jazza is amazing!

[@philanthropic1989]

+Magnus Sylvester Pedersen He said "best online art teacher by light years". Which is a variation on the figure of speech "by a mile". He simply replaced "mile" by "light years". So he replaced distance with distance.

[@NatgeYT]

Only that first sketch of an eye is already better than everything I have ever created

[@malcolmbulls999]

+Natalie Geurtsen hes probably using a cintiq tablet

[@LagginPotato]

Same lol

[@TuxicHamster]

lol it's definitely not due to him using a cintiq. all artists have their broken pencil, this happens to be his atm. it isn't the equipment that makes the artist, but the other way around.

[@aeehiabkarem9952]

He!!🤨😊

[@leetri]

Monsters and demons, the one area I'm really good at. I've been on a kick lately drawing a bunch of grotesque, eldritch abominations. Tentacles, mouths, and teeth everywhere, even if it doesn't make any anatomical sense. And that's why I love drawing them, you can go absolutely crazy with everything.

[@Sniper_4_Life]

Man, I wish I could draw stuff like this. The only stuff I can draw are armor and objects with structure, basically nothing that has individuality (just like me)

[@FlibblyPibbles]

I'm gonna muck around and have a go at this.

[@eyaadmahmoud5388]

After 6 years, how are u doing at this

[@YGOrochi]

Fourth example of the Demon horns...anybody else think of Darth Maul? Or am I just a grown-man-child?

[@mistxalsh7151]

Dude, all I saw was Darth Maul.

[@MosquitoHater]

My first thought im 23 :)

[@darkviktory]

These are awesome :D And it's inspiring to see how you love your work and open up in the drawing process :)

[@darkissomething6333]

Me and my friends making a book and I'm the illistraiter and the story is about a fallen apart (thought to be abandoned) theme park but it is inhabited by demonic figures and so this really helped

[@thingsnstuff7526]

Dark is Something can u make a video when it’s done?

[@lvbboi9]

I wanna know more!

[@deletedjkcndsnsdnkcj]

whenever i had to draw something ugly i just look into the mirror for reference

[@lilyzrd]

noot gnr prrrrankedb

[@alexeybagirov6635]

noot gnr man this is dark

[@Bree_999]

noot gnr I relate to this

[@silvervixen007]

relatable 😅😂

[@mermaid960]

Ha 70 likes. Also, demons are beautiful! I mean, look at me ;) Jk

[@Foxluh]

20:48 Deadpool, is that you? xD

[@lakseraq]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[@fr3etrial314]

Dead Vader

[@ravcaol2104]

I was just thinking of mohawkish horns, and then you actually drew it! Gotta love the punkish demons.

[@morphman86]

The most agonizing part of watching these tutorials is the plethora of stories and animations that unfold in my head when I see the products and I can't do anything about it. Even if I could get to the level of skill required to replicate the characters, I still wouldn't have the time to make it all... Every single drawing gets a story in my head... and I just want that story out of my head and on to the screen. In my thoughts, that's what makes an awesome artist, someone who doesn't tell a story with the images, but let the images create a story in the observer's head. Jazza has succeeded in that!

[@RadishTheFool]

This video is immensely inspiring and helpful to me. Isn't it wonderful that these old videos can still make a huge difference in so many people's lives? Without youtube tutorials like this I would never have discovered my passion for creating.

[@drenRa]

The thing I like about your drawings (especially these ones) is how you use line work and form to give them substance. A believability that they actually exist in the real world. Its a hard thing to achieve (I strive for it in my own work) but you accomplish it. Great vid!

[@trifectumart]

I do my own drawing thing with demons now, and watching your videos helped me figure out the extent of their character, thanks!

[@LordJuz]

Demons are too horrifying to be described with a physical form.

[@flightrik1964]

Jake English demonic monsters

[@darlalathan6143]

I can hardly wait to create heavy metal album covers with this lesson!

[@onkargothankar8568]

That background music is awesome ! It's like you are actually fighting with those demons !

[@officialtoddhoward69]

How did you draw my siblings so accurately?

[@digitalinventor6564]

Its so funny and ironic, how you make it pleasurable creating this nasty monsters. Thanks a lot

[@lurkanst]

Love your videos! really inspired me to start drawing more serious and accually spend time on it.

[@yoshiigurl1176]

"Can you draw me?" " Yes...Sure..." "Why are you laughing?" " You'll see..."

[@illustrationoverdose]

the characters in this video look cool. nice one!

[@HenkHip]

These are really cool! The only thing that's a shame is that you only go into faces usually and you don't really do anything with the body. Im ok at drawing faces but not at bodies so maybe you should include that in tutorials like this or make a 2 parter like: How to Draw Demons part 1 face and then a part 2 for the bodies? Because you could do so much cool things with the bodies like spikes, horns, wings and claws I'd love to see that included in these videos!

[@jacobthomas8575]

Anyone else notice the elongated demon figure almost started out as Deadpool? haha Awesome work Jazza!

[@mofftatt]

this has helped me an awful lot. see, i love drawing demonic and dark/gothic art but have never known any tips to help with authenticity :) thanks:D

[@SShurricane96]

I’m sure you have plans for all your future videos, but I’m sure a lot of people would love if you went back and did more videos like these or character creations. As a new artist, this video helped me immensely. And I would love to see if you’ve gained any new tips in the past few years. Love you work, thank you for the inspiration.

[@comradeacerbus6397]

Hey dude, just for future reference for drawing eyes and other facial features, the term for the area where the eye is stationed in the skull is called the socket, and the area around that is called the orbit. Also, I like how you made some of the demons/monsters humanoid. It just... Well as quoted by Hajime Isuyama (author of SNK) the most terrifying thing is what is most familiar to us, and in our case, humans. It just makes it more creepy. Helped me out with designing the monsters in this sick af thing that crawled out of my head, and they all have humanoid features, which made all of them extremely creepy. Thanks for the advice man! I have been subscribed to you since I first got a KZbin account and I've noticed a spike of overall betterness in my work since I started watching your videos. Not my style, but it really helps and I'm getting paid thanks to these tips. Keep being awesome dude!

[@raynerabbitadventures6081]

Cool assortment of demon drawings, Jazza. Cool art style.

[@goku21youtub]

this was really good , thank you man ! very good tutorial and also it makes fun drawing with you together , there are some other youtubers who in their videos just play down everything and laugh and make stupid jokes about their art , which is highly discouraging especially for people who are beginners. when watching your tutorials its much more professional and more positive and it just makes you draw and have fun.

[@jamie4372]

I've never even seen this video. I decided to binge and I must say that Jazz's has improved a lot. ^^

[@jennyarachovity5404]

Gotta love the Dungeon Quest background music XD

[@AndrewMaksym]

Jazza please make videos or streams like this again, this was actually pretty helpful to draw to.

[@augustawickmanart]

Thank you so much for making this video! This is just what I was needing to help me direct my creative energy in the right direction for creating original monsters!

[@serlymarton]

nice instructions and its also good that i was able to keep tempo and sketch along to try these techniques!

[@whalewil3135]

Just what I needed!! Writimg a manga about a monk possesed by a demon and using your videos and markcrilley's

[@ondrafrajer87]

Ok, now I just want to draw some monsters. Thank you, great tutorial! ;)

[@clara-zm9vp]

You should make like a tv show or something! This helps so much!

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

Wonderful fun drawing!

[@tareqalqallaf9527]

he makes it look soo simple...nice vid btw

[@ninahelt1234]

The fun thing about Drawing demonstration/monsters, is if you make one of the arms too short, i just say "its a part of the demon"

[@aeehiabkarem9952]

[@skippyduckface5183]

"who needs eyes?" -jazza 2014

[@Varsidian]

I actually find in these circumstances when going for something demonic, horrific or grotesque-somewhere along those lines, that asymmetrical designs work relatively stronger than the symmetrical counterpart, purely for the fact that the human eye finds things that have symmetry-more appealing If you're going for an intimidating, monstrous demon who cares not for the puny mortals then get wild with the asymmetric look. For a more rational and intelligent demon, the very human like structure is a great way to go. Nice video jazza :)

[@MrCptTacoss]

Really cool and interesting tutorial, it would be nice to see another for less humanoid demons!

[@mermaid960]

Very old but still helpful as ever! I showed it to my friends so they could draw me ;)

[@rampage75_25]

A thing about demons is that they have a certain element, something in their nature, in the very name that can barely be drawn correctly. It is a weird in-between-thing of dark magic and a classic monster. I have seen many demon designs, but i rarely find an absolute apex demon design, no matter how well he is executed in different ways. A thing to remember could be their dark magical nature and relation to dark emotions, especially fear. Sometimes the cristian hell demon design with bloody skin, horns, wings and hellfire are not even actually demonic, no matter how terrifying they are. The thing about demons is that they dont have a cultural origin. They are always this sinister part of our minds, lifes and feelings wich we express in many ways. There is no one tru demon design, because there is no one true demon. With dragons, you at least have the reptilic, snaky element, but demons are those vage things between spirit and monster, and i think they should be kept special in that way. So remember that little trick: keep in mind, what your demon stands for, in what scenery it shows up, and how you see the *demonic* element Jeez, i didnt plan to write so much

[@marchuijbers1647]

Oh man i love your style this is the video where is was looking for thanks a lot!

[@tristan2517]

oh my god i love this video and drawing demons

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

Excellent! You can venture a guess towards what I plan to use this for!

[@andersoncosta7224]

Jazza, you're really awesome! Always have a kind of tutorial for what I need, hehe, thanks a lot!

[@KeirahWhite]

Love your videos c: they really help me out and inspire me to try new things !

[@AlexanderEmashev]

Thank you! That's what I've been missing, now I should try it by myself.

[@CampaignsIlraon]

It seems so easy when you do it :) Amazing tutorial, I went through it all which is surprising (it's probably because you can mess up your monster a little, it's won't be that much of a big deal :p

[@Gamingoodz]

Man I envy you... I'm 28 years old feel like I wasted most of my life due to bad decisions and instead of 1 thing I can do well I have a bunch of things I can do kinda meh.. I would Love to be able to draw at your level , thing is I have never really got into drawing and most folks that I see have drawn from when they were young. I feel like I've wasted my chance to do alot of things like become good at drawing. Do you think its too late for me to start learning? Thanks.

[@Gamingoodz]

I should add that I got a Wacom intuos small that I have been trying to muck around on but without any experience drawing digital or conventional I'm hoping that its not too late to start.

[@Jazza]

It's never too late to start! Stick at it, keep yourself challenged but don't be too self-critical, just enjoy the process and keep motivated, and of course, practice!

[@PixelShroom1]

That's quite amazing, it will take me a long time to get to that stage though, I just started out with drawing

[@Srsli]

Loving the video! your tutorials are a real inspiration and always keep me intrested

[@МаксимРагуз]

Perfect video! thank you so much, you helped me a lot! you have the best tutorials on youtube

[@charleslane2829]

thanks a lot dude. I'm just starting out and your video gave me a lot of ideas. very helpful

this is amazing, rly inspirational for one new to the game like me THX!!

[@maxpolzonetti6209]

My drawings of demonic creatures have never been better thanks to you. :-)

[@zipperozicvideodump]

Even though I know how to draw demons, I want to see how others approach drawing them. I tend to draw demons gaunt, not unlike other characters I draw, and I draw attention to the horns, over exaggerating them. I also tend to draw "animal-skull-heads" rather than the classic, much more human visage

[@maniok1977]

I just look at my mother-in-law and then I can do it...

[@clara-zm9vp]

It laughed a little too hard at that😂

[@lesteej4815]

[@siman211]

I wan't to learn how to draw but the only thin i did for 3 weeks are the basics without knowing what i wan't to draw but thanks to this video i know what i really wan't to draw and what art style i wan't to develop

[@williambox3504]

Nice job, Jazza, you kind of designed The Night King before he was shown. Jazza drew this in Feb 2014, Night King aired Apr. 27, 2014.

[@thebloodstorm916]

you are awesome jazza

[@Brocuzzin]

You never fail to amaze me :) Keep it up..

[@kaspermord1519]

Perfect! I need this for Art class, we've made a frottage and have to draw a demon on that...really hard.

[@galacticjewels7856]

2:53 what's the music in the backround?

[@WalterLiddy]

The problem I always run into is making them look organic. You've done a good job with showing how they can sort of develop out of existing bone structure, but for instance take the 'minotaur-ish' horns. How does that look from the back? In your final drawings the bottom left exemplifies what I mean - they seem to just come out of nowhere, like fixtures attached to the head without any under-the-skin basis. I can imagine a cheekbone or brow extending into a horn but it's hard for me to picture really large horns that aren't just sitting on the head.

[@goku21youtub]

WalterLiddy look at goats and other animals for reference ... they have their horns sitting on the skull but its base is a clump of rings which fade into the heads bone-structure , i bet you can find realistic 3d models so you can look at it from every side and analyze the structure ... also keep in mind its just a visual effect , the few seconds your viewer looks at your monster he won´t begin to analyze the structure it just need to look dangerous , and horns and spikes normally are dangerous.

[@WalterLiddy]

That's a good idea. I want it to look right for my own sake, especially since I have in mind to use this character on an ongoing basis.

[@Anthony-pln]

Damn even in my "I don't feel like drawing" periods, I always watch every single tutorial video you post, they're all interesting. And well made, too. Speaking of which, could you please give out the name of the music/artist ? Very good choice, it goes perfectly with the atmosphere of the "Dark side" ! Thanks.

[@Jazza]

I paid for a commercial license for a few songs, the rest I use are from the youtube creator resources

[@MentalDaan]

Thanx Mate,very nice video and great tutorial. Is there a possibility you could do a tutorial/ video on coloring/ painting these, in both a more cartoony style and a more realistic style? Even though i've seen all your painting and coloring tutorials I still struggle with color and painting. Thanx again.

[@CeruleanPandas]

unbelievably helpful, thank you!!!!

wow u really are good and also inspired me to draw again after 2 years of not drawing because i broke my hand and not really had any motivation. so thank you jazza. also what brush tool are you using for the linework?

[@BGrammstein]

Jazza, I love your drawings! :) What tiype of a tablet do you use?

[@pdonnelly]

thanks this video wasn't necessarily just good for demons it was good for learning how to manipulate anatomy in general =)

[@yakovchaika]

Many people like speed drawing, more speed in you channel, Jaz :3

[@Srsli]

personally, i find the more real time videos are far more informative than timelapse vids can be this is why i love jazza's channel because they are not just speed drawings of works, they are well explained tutorials :D

[@sacretpower]

this is how to draw video, not speed drawing video dude

[@Piyratheon]

Really useful. I wish you'd made it sooner! :D Thank you! :)
