For Edward, it seems like there was a mix of descriptions because his eyes definitely weren't blue-green as a vampire. I recall them being described as liquid gold but they turn black when he hasn't fed in a while. Maybe the blue-green was when he was human? In which case it makes sense. His skin is definitely pale though

[@Hs.medits]

Exactly! Shame they didn’t go with ‘frog faced’😂

[@tatyannafrancis9935]

That’s interesting with the Frankenstein one. One thing they didn’t mention in the description they gave you (perhaps because it’s not said directly describing the monster) but Victor Frankenstein’s goal was to make an incredibly attractive person. Tall, long hair, bold features. So when the monster turned out horrific, it was in part the corrupted beauty (not just straight up hideousness) that made him particularly terrifying. Anyways, your monster was really neat! He wouldn’t have had a belly though, even being book accurate 😂

[@glittery_cucumber]

That concept does sound somehow more terrifying than just a straight up ugly monster

[@Barboom12]

"I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open. His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful." The book also describes his hair as lustrous.

I was surprised I recognized Sherlock Holmes immediately from the description, since I've never read the books. Frankenstein's monster, while I never read that book either, makes more sense that I got it, because I've looked that up before.

These descriptions are missing just a bit that would've really steered you in the right direction more. Like Frankenstein's monster is specifically beautiful with overblown proportions because Victor was trying to create a beautiful creature and thought he succeeded until the monster woke up and uncanny valley sunk in. And Edward is most definitely described as pale indeed, with gold/amber/black colored eyes depending on when he'd fed.

Can you do a video with book characters adding details about their personality? For example, Umbridge is described as "irritating" in the book, and Edward is "distant".

Ever notice how drawing from imagination brings gradient shading whereas drawing from a reference entails more random, naturally realistic shading?

[@easternhills1329]

I'm guessing the last one is Frankensteins monster, based on victorian era and disproportionate body (which could just mean a longer torso or arms compared to expectations); but he's described as incredibly beautiful, eerily so. So I can be way off the mark. Edit: woohoo I was right! hahaha. I think the part of unnatural beauty is missing from the description. He's supposed to give an uncanny valley sort of feel, even though he looks really good. Because Frankenstein wanted to create a "perfect" new lifeform, but it goes against the nature and ended up creating a monstrosity in a human shell.

It's a really interesting technique... I'd love to try it! I think you're very talented!! But, whoever gave you the description for Edward missed the mark. They seem to be taking descriptions from when Edward was human and as a vampire. In the books Bella describes Edward (and the rest of the Cullens) as having pale white skin and golden eyes - with her descriptions for Edward's eyes adding more detail like liquid amber, and warm butterscotch. His eyes are green as a human, and he'd have a warmer skin tone too. As a vampire they are described as being "almost unnaturally white".... maybe your team thought those descriptors would make it too easy for you to guess who it was?. Still, it did a disservice to you and your version of Edward (Edward would never wear a letterman jacket)..... perhaps you could revisit Edward and do a second version that's more true to his vampire nature?

I just finished my first fully digital painting using it and I'm honestly so blown away by the whole package. Has to be the best investment I've made in a LONG time! So thank you to everyone involved, so much

[@silverlining_1995]

You painted the human Edward :P his looks before turning were described once in the series. Bella really wanted their kid to have his green eyes. But the after look was accurate in the movie lol

[@DungeonBricks]

Really captured the Holmes smile there. In the books is often described as "slightly unsettling to see him smile"

[@courtcourt9532]

I discovered your channel when your first Painting Characters video showed up in my feed. Still one of my favourite videos to this day. Super cool to see you do another!

I knew the next to last one. There isn't many other choices. I really enjoy these "Painting characters EXACTLY as described in the book" videos. a lot. They are part drawing and a bit of trivia.

For some reason I thought of Shrek but that makes no sense

[@66edoug]

@@tiasmith3499 The Frankenstein in the movies didn't exactly match up with the book's description. Shrek is based on a book. A teenage Shrek might fit too. He just went bald and his skin might've darkened as he got older.

[@mindymorgan8479]

I actually really love this I thought you were going to know the character and then get a description and remake them but it turns out you had no idea any of them at all and went only by description and that's super fantastic

[@jaistashu1560]

I loved seeing your interpretation of The Creature from Mary Shelley's _Frankenstein._ I knew who it was from the description straight away (since I'm an English instructor, and I default to _Frankenstein_ when I have to teach how to analyze a literary work), and it was a delight to see how befuddled you were when you put together this smiling strange character. Ahh, he looks like how he could've been had Victor spent one millisecond welcoming The Creature into the world rather than running out of the house to hide in the courtyard until morning... But then we wouldn't get the court case, framing for murder, and the chase through the Arctic, so....sacrifices, sacrifices. Great video!

[@Chuck_EL]

it's amazing how Mary was only 18 when she wrote that book

[@DavidHowells-d9p]

incidentally, a book written in 1815, set in the 1790’s,does not have a Victorian setting.

[@DragonMan5643]

I absolutely loved Frankenstein's creature, mostly because we got to draw him by the book for an English class back in my Sophomore year. As soon as I read his description, I immediately started losing my shit bouncing up and down with joy and excitement to see what Jazza would conjure up. I was crunched for time when I made mine, so I cut corners by depicting him wearing the cloak he finds, which actually helped me tremendously in getting a haunted look in his eyes by covering half his face with hair from the clock's hood being pulled up.

[@Ghost084]

When the phrase 'thin, eager face' immediately triggers a memory of reading those exact words in the book lol. Clearly it made an impact lol

[@mizzlemoonglade4996]

Almost died laughing during the Frankenstein one 🤣😭

[@Eltuine]

I love these videos! It's so interesting to see different interpretations of the characters without pre-existing biases.

[@GJ_504_b]

part of it is that you drew pre-vamp edward, bc vamp edward IS pale and causes the uncanny-valley effect in humans bc of their general "otherness," "humans can tell that they're not" or whatever, and, particularly, vamps have either red eyes (human-eaters), black eyes (hungry), or gold/amber eyes (animal-eaters), human ed had the blue green, but that is from edward's (or Carlisle's??) own admission, bella never actually saw him and described him herself

[@artisticish]

And also it says modern setting which means whoever made the description messed up cuz if it was his human form it would be long ago. And the eyes were green not blue green. And he was lanky compared to his brothers but when Bella saw him alone she realized he wasn’t lanky. Whoever wrote the description got it off

[@DDSmols]

Wasn't expecting a drawing tutorial, but boy am I thankful for it! Thank you so much, Jazza!

[@itsnemosoul8398]

I think people get Edwards looks wrong. Twilight is written from Bellas perspective and she was madly in love with him. So Edwards description was very tainted by Bellas positive opinion of him.

[@ryleighemma]

this is a very good point- unreliable narrators are such an interesting concept

[@mxloverman2898]

vampires in that universe are supposed to be utterly beautiful to humans as a means of attracting "dinner". everyone in that universe found all the Cullens insanely attractive.

[@itsnemosoul8398]

@@mxloverman2898 Well, all Cullens are very much above average (especially when you consider Edward is 17 (have you looked at actual 17 year olds?) but Belas exaggerated view of Edward is what I was getting at

[@HilaryPea]

And Edward didn't consider himself beautiful. He considered himself flawed and monstrous. The exaggerated features (given to make them more appealing to their meals) seen as groteqsue and embarrassing. When Rob Pattinson did the role, he read Twilight for Bella's "perfect" version. Then he read the draft of Midnight Sun for Edward's "flawed" version, then worked with a compromise that was found somewhere in the middle. Both in looks, composure, and personality, and character to find the real Edward himself.

[@kenna176]

I think the only accurate depiction I've seen is the cover by Kamil Vojnar for the 1998 edition by Bantam Doubleday. If he's never read the novel, Erik's description is definitely going to throw him for a loop.

[@xeniamartin5297]

This guy honestly makes me want to get back into art and drawing and actually get better about learning how to drawy own characters.

[@ellerj641]

The first one, I immediately thought it was a Harry Potter character, especially when you said wizard. Second one, I knew right away it was Sherlock Holmes as soon as I saw the description of a tweed suit. Third one, without looking at the comments, I probably would have guessed Edward. I did not figure out the last two. This is my first time watching one of your videos and it was pretty cool. I am amazed by digital artists. It seems too complicated to me. I just like my paper and pencils and the simplicity of it.

[@jawnjawn3601]

it's the fact he makes the characters happy when most are stone faced

[@ale.ale_0278]

I love this series. When you said toad, black velvet bow and pink cardigan I knew it was umbridge. Also, I thought of Edward Cullen, Percy Jackson or maybe Jason grace for the Edward one, I don’t know why I guess it’s just my own fan girl instincts. You should definitely do some Percy Jackson characters. I mean, the adaptations (movies) were the least accurate you can be, and the show is not focusing on appearance being accurate, whereas the plot and the essence and personality of characters. Even if there’s pretty accurate fan art, it would be really cool to see your way of doing some characters, since some changes are made in fan art. I definitely want to see that

[@vickmarguerrero8690]

I also thought that it was Jason grace or Luke Castellen but it never said anything about a scar on his eye and with the perfect 17 year old and the blue green eyes fits Percy so I also thought of him as well

Man I was so stoked when I read the description for Frankenstein's creature (I will not call him a monster), I've read the book twice so I knew it immediately when seeing the gigantic height and yellow skin, and the Victorian setting just cemented it haha

[@rokkenrobyn9767]

It had me thinking Phantom of the Opera cuz while he isn’t tall he’s yellow with his nose falling off his face and he needs a full mask not the typical half mask

[@dianebusby7047]

@@karenalynne The Creature looks more like a goofy troll, rather than the eloquent, articulate person from the book. He would not have had his belly showing either. Also, the 'Victorian setting' is incorrect. Frankenstein was published in 1818, the year before Victoria was born.

[@phobosescanor9190]

When you read the description of the Frankenstein monster, I instantly had to think about its portrayal in "Penny Dreadful" and I literally laughed out loud when you said it was the monster!!! Awseome. I immediately recognised the characters by their description. Love this format XD
