I Tried to DEBUNK the WORST TikTok Art Hacks... 

If you go to 5 minute crafts, there’s hours worth of bad art hacks😂 oh god the cut your hair off and glue it to a stick paint brush hack. A classic 😌

The foil and water is conducting the electricity out of your body to make the stylus work 😊

Expectations: Jazza frustrated over bad art hacks Reality: Jazza frustrated over good art hacks

I love the completely unfounded confidence Jazza has that the aluminum foil is useless until he actually tries the stylus without it.

We made "stained glass" in school years ago and it was just colored pencil on paper with baby oil rubbed over the top. Smoothed everything out and the sun shines straight through lol

How DARE Tik Tok be this useful! We really must take this into our own hands. We must rise against the norms!

"There are no bad art hacks, so I must fix this." You are the definition of chaotic neutral.

I like how jazz tries to search for bad art hacks but ends up making a bad one

“There are no bad art hacks on Tiktok” has the same energy as “there is no Avatar movie in Ba Sing Se

hate to tell you this jazza, but this video gave me a free stylus, helped me complete a portrait for my art project (i was struggling with the hair) and gifted me with the tracing paper i couldn't go out to buy because of quarantine. thanks!

“jazza stressing over good art hacks for 14 minutes straight”

as someone who's been drawing with their finger and HAS NO STYLUS THIS IS SO FREAKING USEFUL

Omg! My watercolor art hack was shown! I’m glad that jazza approved my art hack!

2:30 A quick explanation: a phone touchscreen works by small electric charges coming from your hand, it conducts to the screen and starts responding, the foil's purpose is to conduct the electric charges to the damp cotton, which is conductive due to the water on it, and when the electric charges travel to the screen it starts responding! there's a lot I didn't mention, so I encourage you yogo and learn about it!

The watercolor hack wasn't adding honey to dry watercolor it was adding honey to make watercolors (and gouache btw) better and keep it from being bad and cracked when they do dry.

Your fingers are an electrical conductor, much like aluminum foil, so when you're touching the aluminum foil, the phone registers it like a finger.

Jazza: "The younglings are getting too good, I need to stop them... In the name of ART!"

I'll summarize the result: "Go, my minions! make Tiktok bad again!"

5:08 This actually is not dumb. It's the traditional way of making tracing paper. You use an oil and then rub the paper with a flour or bran to get rid of excess oil. Let it dry and you have a tracing paper old masters style.

This just in, Jazza learns about conductivity. This was the sweetest reaction tbh

All those tools in the jazzy art box and here you are using a screwdriver LEGEND.

Honey is actually in the composition of some very expensive professional watercolors like Sennelier

I’ve been so incredibly busy being a first time parent, that I’ve hardly had any time to watch yt videos, but coming back I always love watching yours and getting the feeling of comfort from them. If that even makes any sense! Basically, your videos are comforting to me when the rest of my life is utter chaos. So thank you ❤️

The part i enjoyed most about this video is Jazza's increasing frustration at not being able to find a bad art hack and listening to his brain unravel.

That oil thing makes sense, oil makes paper bags and stuff translucent. It's actually a way to demonstrate lipids, they use it in elementary schools and middle schools all the time.

The reason the stylus hack works is because the aluminum foil is transmitting the electrical current from your body down to the wet Q-tip. So that's what makes the stylus work. And why it won't work without it. If the Q-tip was dry wouldn't work either.

In regards to the tracing paper. I was cleaning up and found that my 2 part epoxy had leaked onto the documents I had it on. Well, those documents became tracing paper, which was really interesting and double interesting as the text on them was not ruined

7:39 His expression XD

Thanks for making a tik tok that lets people watch paint dry!

At this point, this should already be a series.

Him encouraging people to invade Tiktok weirdly reminds me of the time we took over Drawception...

It kinda sucks looking through the jazzy auction, I remember every piece there. It's so weird seeing it all going. Hate that I could never afford a piece. I hope you get all that you need for your new place. I believe in you.

After doing the watercolour hack: Why are there ants all over my painting??

I wish there was a chat or something on the auction website. I wanna see some people fight over his art.

0:26 omg Jazza sounds so emotional 🥺 This is such a huge leap for all of us too, we can't wait till it's over and you can move into the new studio!

2:48 because your body electricity is what makes a touchscreen work, and aluminum conducts it.

I love the fact he couldn’t figure out how the stylist worked. Lmao

My sis bought me two prints for my birthday this may!! Were happy to support you Jazza!

The reason it only works with foil is because of how screens work, they sense an electric difference and your fingies are conductive while the plastic pen isn't. That's why you wrap the foil so it makes it conductive.

RIP pen, you'll be remembered.

There is nothing funnier than Jazza, a known sculptor, using a screwdriver instead of a ball tool, a tool, yes, used as a dotting tool on nails but also a sculpting tool.

Jazza: I can't find any bad art hacks! Also Jazza: Guess I'll make one myself

Me who uses that styles to draw my digital art on my phone : "First time?"

I'm not feeling so great this evening, but seeing one of my favorite artist post a video, makes me smile

I saw your Tiktok and was so confused lol😂

11:14 That’s also an app that you can install

When jazza opened that paint tube, tears ran down my face.

I am so confused with the watercolour one, if your watercolour tubes dry, all you need is some water to use it again? Isn't that the whole point of watercolours?

Alternative title: jazza stressing over *bad* art hacks because their really good.

I don’t have tiktok but someone needs to make one on how to properly use a pencil not the regular side but sharpen the eraser side until you reach the lead and add a eraser cap to the normal side!

11:46 the disbelief in his voice 🤣🤣🤣

The touch screen works by sending weak electricity trough your fingers when toucht. Non conductive materials do not work. Foil is conductive, that is why it works.

The crusty paint tubes... I used to buy mine from pound shop or cheap online and they used to crust up really quick

I love Jazza's work, and it hurts me to know that he is selling ALL his work form the past 10 years. Would buy something if I could afford it, but for now I will just sit by and continue enjoying his videos. Thanks Jazza!

I go through acute depression and art is like therapy to me. You being goofy and fun while doing therapy for me makes me wanna live a little more.

this is the most frustrated I’ve ever seen someone over real and honest hacks and I love it.

4:28 why is Jazza’s handwriting so good?!

Jazza just accidentally learnt the difference between old style resistive touch screens and modern capacitive screens. Keep up the amazing content Jazza 😀👍

I found that you can use a carrot as a stylus, too. Was cooking with my iPad one day, and randomly selected a RU-vid video with the carrot.

You need to do a TikTok duet review: Make a video where you go through all the best duets people have done with your TikToks.

1:20 -- I heard that as "Dissect a dead pet" and was confused 4:00 -- Okay, I just heard that as "An old pen's rat's arse" XD

How have you never had a paint tube dry up before that's nuts to me.

Thats how you know the art community has your back when most the TikTok hacks do work.

"All hope is lost, unless it isn't" Jazza-2021

The one about embossing the paper is really good. I did a fluffy white dog on commission one time, and it would've been such a pain without that little trick.

New hack for @Jazza: film and edit your Tik Tok video in Premier Rush, then just import into Tik Tok for titles and music. SO much easier.

I came on RU-vid for one thing. I've been here an hour.

I know nothing about art.. but I enjoy this

Sitting here now wondering what I can make as a bad art hack and if it’s worth finally uploading something to my TikTok account just cause this was funny

I have some watercolor tubes from 6 years ago when I was into watercolor. They were very cheap so tomorrow I’ll see if they’re dry, I’ll update then!

I laughed so hard when you shot the pen my cat came running in to see what was going on. Jazza, I just love you.

Jazza saying "its too short!" My mind: That's what she said

6:09 he wasted so much paint

1:25 When did Jazza move to America

The pencil scratch noise when he was testing the indentation hack will haunt me for weeks. 😫😫💀

4:52 My mother used to that with our mandelas. So we took some kitchenpaper to apply the oil to the backside of the Mandela, so that it got more transparent. That way we could put them on the window with some tape and the sunlight could easily shine through it :D

The part where he shot the pen, I actually thought that it might have been real. It looked so real 0_0

Will I use these hacks? ... no Do I enjoy watching them? ...yes #SatisfactionWhenTheyWork

The only time I've seen that oil and paper thing is that episode of the Simpsons where Homer is trying to gain weight so he rubs the food against some paper to see if it's oily enough and bad enough for him 😂😂😂 Simpsons life lessons

Funny thing is that when I was a kid(around 4 yrs old) I used to trace a lot. Then some oil got on the paper I was using and it became easier to trace in that area so I put oil on the entire paper. I didn't even know tracing paper existed at that time.(I only found out about it when we went to national book store around the time I was 13. I'm 14 rn:D )

I once experimented and made blue oil paper but didn't know what to do with it I finally learned that it looks pretty good as a fishtank backdrop. It looks like frosted glass and more expensive than it is I think I remember reading that oiled paper was used for windows in early pioneer days

Thanks for sharing the makeshift stylus! I've been needing a stylus to draw on my phone, but I know that touchscreens require the little bit of conducted electricity from your finger to complete the circuit... and that just so happens to let phone brands ransom you for a little stylus. >:c Joking, there's no conspiracy here--I know the touchscreen circuit concept happened long before the phone stylus around the beginning of its invention XD--but I am legitimately stubborn and won't pay a damn dollar for a pen when I've already got a not-so-portable screen-less drawing tablet. Gimme dat pocket digital art, pls.

It’s not the algorithm, most of us are just good artists Jazza!

So, the stylus works with electrical current of the human body, the tip is rubber in normal styluses and the body is metal so that the electrical current for the body travels into the stylus. The aluminum conducts electrical current from the body to the wet cotton buds as water conducts electricity well. So that's how a makeshift stylus works

Yeah the tracing paper makes sense, since the oil from fish and chips on the packaging paper, make the paper more transparent

I was taught in colored pencil drawing that when your pencil is too short you take an unsharpened pencil of the same color and super glue it to the end so you have a (very long at first) never ending pencil.

*when you’re early but have nothing to say:*

🎊🎉Congrats to the people that saw this ❤️👏👏🎉🎊

Nobody tell him that touchscreens sense electricity from your fingers and that’s why the foil works! 😂😂 fr, I love ya Jazz’s, I love how joyful you are and you’re just a joy to watch

Jazza, I'm starting to quit heroin yet again, and yet again I'm inspired by your enthusiasm in life! Thank you for your energy. There is art to be made, people

Hahaha jazza trying to learn how touchscreens work😂😂 amazing

the stylus works with a foil because the static energy passes through your fingers, into the foil, and then to the cotton with water. That's how it works :p

The reason why you need the foil is because the energy vibration created from your body translates through the pen and then with the aluminium in the middle it makes it so that the screen moves aka touchscreen Technology jazza omg it’s not that hard to understand

Man, when you went over those indentations with that pencil.... straight nails on chalkboard. I'm still writhing from that sound lol

The oil paper one actually work even with butter

I love jazza! he inspires me to keep making art everyday!

Either Jazza has a cold or selling his art is really getting to him.

You can tell you're an Aussie 90's kid when you used the phrase "that's sick" haha

These “bad” tiktoks are like when you get a extended car warranty spam call but you actually have an extended car warranty
