- A time lapse video of a few months of my life while I was drawing 'Mask'
I tried to give a glimpse into the process and the time that went into this work. Speaking a bit about a flow state that often accompanies long 300+ hour drawings like this.
It was hard for me to let go of this piece. I was so attached I didn't want to call it complete. When you spend so much time with a work thats so personal you cant help but get attached and the process of letting go is a challenge in itself. Im proud to be able to finally share this work with everyone. The making of this video was no exception to this curse taking a few months to just motivate myself to get through the editing. Im so excited to share this with you.
Special thanks to Daniel Beriter from Birthday Girl for working on the music for this video. Check out more of their work at the link below.

I have just released limited edition prints of my work. you can find info on them at my Etsy store www.etsy.com/shop/JonoDry

My biggest challenge is fighting the urge to finish artwork quickly which would result in a less impressive work. The patience and dedication that went into this one is worth every penny in the world.
I can relate to every single word you said here.
I’m trying to apply the same patience, as he mentions in this video it is about getting into the “headspace” and losing yourself. I have spent 20 - 30 hours on a drawing but this must take 100’s of hours
I think you should follow your instinct and your intuition. It's so beautiful to get this urge of finishing something, you will use your imagination to go where you want and the result will be so much more interesting. Let go
I can relate to that really hard.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I thought I was alone in this but looks like other artists tend to feel this too. Now I can take your advice and move forward.
This is more realistic than me just taking a picture
God of pencil is tony hariyanto
Awsm work man
Dominique Paguyo that makes no sense
Halo2glitchlover22 yes it does. I’m saying it looks more real than a life. That makes clear sense. I’m saying the drawing is so realistic you could mistake it for a picture. So it does make sense
@@domishere4313 Yeah, the drawing being so realistic you could mistake it for a picture makes sense, but you phrased it really weirdly.
I just don’t get it: When you're working on such a large piece, in such detail, over such a long period of time, with changing light, and I imagine, changing mood’s too.
How do you achieve such a balance of; light, shade, and tone, over the whole piece? It really is quite remarkable.
You actually don't :) All paintings and drawings move from mood to mood with the artist across the canvass. In much the same way that a sky changes colour during the day, or how our expression changes from sleep to wakefulness. Our minds are wonderful in filling in the variations, the voids, and looks for conformity and the illusion of cohesiveness. But the reality is, the beauty is in the eccentric chaos that we only ever notice when we take pause, stop a minute, step up closer to the canvass and really look. Like how a tree is composed of leaves and branches, a drawing is composed of uncertainties, errors, doubt, exhilaration, peace, joy, pride, and you can see it sometimes. That's what makes them seem so lifelike, even when they don't claim to be realistic. Our subconscious looks for those essences of humanity, and that relationship with the chaotic everythingness, and then sighs in it's perfection.
Porcia K as an artist I agree! I’m always changing moods when drawing 😂
@@wolfinthewheatfields3224 spoke like a true artist 10/10 speech
@@wolfinthewheatfields3224 That was really interesting to read, thank you for sharing

I do possess the ability to draw but witnessing this level of skill in creating such a masterpiece,
Makes me feel like I'm just a small speck of dust amongst a pantheon of talented artists.
Im disappointed at myself for lacking the dedication and patience to able to make an art piece to signify my status in the art community.
But it always gives me hope that knowing everyone always started from small beginnings.
I'll make it up there someday!
had the same idea of being unable to be ever good at art. everyone starts somewhere, and maybe that somewhere starts low. that shouldnt discourage you. any comment scrollers, dont put yourself down for not being able to do amazing art. you have to learn to walk before you run. the night is darkest before the dawn, and i promise you, that dawn is coming.
Hey I feel you. Be patient and kind to yourself, as you say, one day you'll make it up ! Just give it a try ❤
You gotta have that naruto attitude if u have ever seen that anime
We got ourselves a poet right here
I feel ya boi
This is our Creator at work, as no human can do this without Him. Everynight His paints can be seen in the sky.
☁️⛅🌈 Beaútiful !
I really understand when you speak about the place that you go, the headspace that is so absorbing, losing yourself in your work is a state of consciousness and connection to yourself. Love that place and the feeling of "being" - my best work comes when I'm there...such ease and peaceful...- glad you mentioned it here talking about your beautiful art, it resonates with me.
That state of mind is called 'flow'
The most incredible part isn’t even the outrageous talent, it’s the patience. Outstanding art!
Meanwhile some idiots : "cAn yOU dRaw ThIS fOr FreE?"
" I GoT A fRieNd wHO dO ArT bEtTEr ThAN yOuRS AnD chArGE wAY LOwER"
Like we don't break our necks learning a lifetime process just to put our efforts in vain. Not that i'm being greedy, some people are just being abusive. Either way this is funny lol.
"Can you draw me??"
Eh you can do it. You are “just” doing a sketch. I will tag you in my facebook post
"bRo i tHoUgHt yOu eNjoYeD dRaWinG whY cAn'T YoU Do iT foR fReE?"
I dont know why you popped up as recommendation,but I'm glad. All of these drawings are absolutely beautiful. I wish I had your patiences. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
It is amazing the feeling, as you describe, of losing yourself in a piece. Time stops while you work but when you put the pencil down it has been hours.
It boggles my mind how a human is capable of creating such magnificence.
That is only part of it, this is how you know there is a God. For this is just a glimpse not what men are capable of imagine when we know the Creator and are in tune with Him, what then can we unlock with the dominion He will gives us. 🙌🙏 God bless you! 🙌🙏

That too with a pencil
Honestly makes me quite emotional when I see talent like this, it's just amazing what humans can be capable of
"You can get lost forever" - I really like it
😮this is one of the best hyperrealistic! thank you Jono, for the new video 😳 this is super stunning,really impressive 😉
Master Art I agree with you !
mannie's Art yeah, ☺ He is one of the best Hyperrealism artist.
Master Art I agree 100 % alot of people don't ubderstand art takes discipline, dedication, and persistent.
As an artist myself (realism artist , hopefully hyper-realism one day) , this shows me what it REALLY takes to reach to this point in art , to me , it takes YEARS of patience , love , concentration and dedication to what drawing truly is and means to you. Im always happy when I have the opportunity to teach others that drawing isn’t only about ‘picking up a pencil and doodling on a piece of paper ’ those who don’t draw , don’t understand. It’s about measurements , values , sharp observation , the way you control and hold a pencil , matters. Drawing really teaches you a lot , not only how to draw. This is something that I will always be proud of , drawing has gotten me through life in my worst years. And it will continue to do so for as long as I breathe. This , TRULY inspires me to the fullest , and fills me with hope that one day , I’ll be just as great , proud that I never gave up and of how far I’ve come throughout the years.
Outstanding work sir 👏👏👏❤️
I wish I had a quarter of this man's talent and patience. Amazing
This guy made me believe that super humans Exists in real life.
I can't imagine how wonderful it would be to own something this incredible... Let alone have the ability to create it. Subbed. Your vision is mesmerising.
I've never seen anyone use that charcoal technique. I'm actually in awe of this guy right now! Congratulations man. Looks absolutely incredible 😱💜
The crazy thing is that he did this under 5 MINS thats crazy
I am waiting for a r/whoosh
@@emirbyte lol fr
Lol stop me there
@@emirbyte haha reddit funny haha guys i use reddit its so cool hahahah
@@emirbyte Ew, begone foul redditor.
Magnificent. Thank you for sharing your Ineffable works of art. I Love the images you create and the relatable feelings I get looking at them.
Do you look at pictures for a reference point, or is this all right out of your head????
I ask because I couldn’t fathom drawing water like that without a picture to source from. Beautiful work man, DONT ever quit!
Same question
Pls answer. I am also very curious.
The video is not showing you that he is copying from a photo.
It's definitely from a photo. You couldn't do this without a reference.
@@kemarone8569 yeah I was wondering the same thing! If you are drawing so close to the paper, how can you maintain such perfect symmetry.! There has to be a reference where to start from and how to make all come together at the end!
I hope Jono Has a studio gallery with the rest of his workings on display? This young man has a gift from God, you can't teach what he does as anyone can clearly see.. truly Amazing.. we probably can't even afford his works. The only other artist I know who was this gifted was Leonardo da Vinci. and I personally think he's better than the master. this young man is in a class all by himself.. if there is a better artist, I have not seen it in my lifetime, and I'm 66yrs old. I myself have studied fine arts in schools, and have never seen anything on this scale, you must understand anatomy , muscle and bone structure under the skin. Jono understands it all very well..again, I am amazed
The process and devotion is unreal. Hard for me to register how you work in small portions little by little with so much patience. I grow anxious, but also fascinated while watching.
I really like your work man. It is hyper realism combined with surrealism.
Me : arguing with my phone to take good quality pictures
My phone : shows me this video
What really amazes me is that the images are coming from his mind.
I always need a template to look at . AMAZING ARTWORK.🤯
Watching your project 100 times and still trying to understand your technique. "Unbelievable textures". Maby i must to say thank you cus every of your works teaching me a lot. Thank you.
MY GOD>!>
I was waiting for this!
I'm crying, incredible.... THANK YOU
Sorry it took so long! glad you enjoyed it :)
Your work is so inspiring. I have always loved pencil art. Now am aspiring to get where you are.
For those who are discouraged by seeing above art work.
Don't be too hard on yourself.Those who make good drawing/art didn't just catch the pencils, paper and draw these kinds of drawing from the start. Just remember they were also at the same level as we are right now,they also passed through these stages by hard work,practice,patience and dedication. So just work hard with patience and dedication and just enjoy the process of your art and don't get too worried about results. Practice everyday even if its for 30 mins cuz "Practice makes Progress".
I won't say it will be easy to reach on that level or you will reach at that level in short time but Also its not impossible to reach that level or even higher. It takes time so just be patient and enjoy the process and evolution of your art.
The work, time and patience behind this art makes it more worthy🥰
😻😻😱😱😱😱
U r just awesome 👏🏻!!!! Great work .. !!! sooo talented bro so glad i found ur account ! And the details r amazing oh my lord
my God.. this is Amazing artwork! thks for the new video bro, you are my inspiration.. 👏
I always feel like I NEED that flow...it can be such an escape from your everyday life and mental state. Drawing at depth like this almost seems like an outer body experience in a way...that your mind is so completely unaware of external stimuli or anything else in life, other than the concentration of drawing, its like meditation.
Before I start my ART work, I always watch your ART ..which inspire me Lot ..thank you🙏 JONO.
Brilliant and inspiring, I’m looking forward to more videos- tutorials would be most helpful. This is truly mind boggling work.
Muy espectacular👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Muy lindo, te felecito por tus buenas manos, artista!
😊 Saludos desde Chile
Hola natalia😇
It's just amazing to see the level of details you've put into your artwork 👏
Hi Jono, your work inspires me a lot. I paint from time to time as fun but nothing serious. I have never had a chance to follow my dream and become a professional painter. I wish one day I have a mentor like you. I enjoy watching your work and I will keep being your fan. you are a true artist❤
Thank you for sharing this to the world...
I really like how you always start each video by putting water on the pad. When I used to draw, I thought water was actually gonna destroy the paper, but I guess it depends on the pad type. The pad actually hardens the paper, making the surface rough and better to blend shades, of course, after drying out. Keep it up brother 🙃
dam seeing the finish product must be extremely satisfying
That headspace you talk about, thats true meditation. I can do the same thing playing music. Its wonderful.
There's something a bit heartbreaking about condensing 300+ hours of your most precious possession (time) into 5 minutes. It can't ever do the dedication, determination, passion and focus justice. As I watched I reflected on my own creative process. My modern, Western life in 2022 has made me think quicker is better, but good art - great art actually - is a slow process in a world that wants to move faster than ever.
This is magic to me, I can't wrap my head around how this is possible. To me, drawing like this is the equivalent of waving a wand and do magic
Wow! Not only am I stunned by how talented you are, I'm so impressed and inspired by the deepness of the meaning of your art!! Please don't ever stop creating these beautiful pieces of magic!✌🕉💜
I realize that you’ve worked tens of thousands of hours perfecting your craft, and I don’t mean to take away from that...but my God you are SO gifted. Just incredible.
This deserves a like and a subscription
This should cost more than those paintings that only have one color, those "minimalist" type of paintings.
yeah that's generally for money laundry
time really matters, patience, passion and hardwork , amazing talent
Every detail he puts on this masterpiece is amazing 😮 i'm shook right now
I'am soo sad why people don't understand what art is. Your drawings are great. You deserve more views and more respect. Don't forget to never give up!
The name's dry but my canvas is always wet......

Weird flex but ok
@@K1NGDA3MON you killed it
Just...Wow. I'm in awe of your talent ❤
I simply love your artwork sir. You inspire me to create. Thank you !
i dont understand how you can just start drawing without making the composition first. is it a technique that i don't know about or are you just that good
I think it’s a technique. It’s not a all in one thing though, i start to do realism with a little bit of rough comp. and then move to doing it w/o :)
I would say there is a lot of preparation and planning that goes into the composition of a piece like this. What you are seeing here is the execution
he uses reference photos and combine them with his imagination to create his artwork. Reference is for textures, form, proportion and tonal values
I think he has a vivid imagination and image in his mind that can't be forgotten until it's finished or in front of him whole. His imagination seems incredibly active, abstract even and yet tamed enough to hold a homogenous, detailed concept in mind for as long as needed with the added dexterity and skill to commit such detail to the paper. He does appear to be, that good..
@@warriorsanjay its caled let your inner self draw you have to open that door to reach that kind of lvl the technique its in the way you will find that door!
Extremely amazing :O you got a new subscriber :) keep it on
Thanks! :)
Your skill and dedication is truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Завораживающе рисует!!!
Помню 20 лет назад, сам не знаю почему, спонтанно взял обычные школьные краски, обычный набор кисточек, лист бумаги. И начал хаотично наносить на лист бумаги всякие кляксы, затем наносил очередно тона по всей площади листа много слоёв, что этот обычный лист бумаги стал упругий как картон. Далее бездумно, осветлял, затенял. Неожиданно увидел, что у меня получается на весь лист 1/4 морды кошки(или кота). Оттенков было настолько много, но в целом получилось так, что переплетение красок создало четкую картинку. И не заметил как пролетел целый день до поздней ночи.
Когда один мой знакомый увидел на столе этот рисунок, только он глядел на него вверх ногами типа. Так вот этот знакомый мне говорит,- как ты красиво нарисовал голову верблюда. Вот такой рисунок интересный у меня случайно получился. С одной стороны часть морды кошки. С другой стороны, если смотреть, то голова верблюда.
После этого я ни разу что-то подобное рисовать не пробовал.
What method do you use to transfer the image onto the paper at the very beginning? The drawings are amazing and it is fascinating to watch you work. Thank you for sharing.
Exactly, I don't see grid lines, he's too amazing
I wish I had the skill of being able to focus for that long.
Really love your work man, really inspiring and awesome dark tones.
Ita crazy when you have finished a session of a few hours or so and then you look back at your work and what you've done in that time and its almost like it came from no where. I stare in wonder as your art forms in these vids...simply amazing! ...And yes watched this vid again 😂
Why do yoy wet the paper first? I never seen that before
So the powder sticks
@@l.madrid8815 I don't follow what your mean? You were wet with water and then add charcoal?
@@l.madrid8815 thanks man. I dont get it still couse he let the paper dry. But thanks. I was thinking it was for making the paper flat.
@@cloptete1979 there is powder of griphite too. Not only charcoal.
@@l.madrid8815 what you said was wrong. It's not water it's glue. People use as masking material. So you might make a circle with the glue, put water color over it, and then peel the glue up.
Incredible man.. this is part of the reasons why earth is so amazing
I can’t believe you worked DAY and NIGHT.impressive
I've literally never seen, NEVER, a painting as real as this ... NEVER in my entire life
Its not a painting. Search hyperrealistic drawings, hyperrealism.
Sir why do you use water (or other liquid ) on paper before drawing
.
Plz reply
mee too.. why ?
i'm so curious...
Rudra Gandhi he does it because the paper he uses only comes in rolls so he does a technique called “stretching”. The paper to make it lay flat. He made a video about it recently.
Oh, my God, super 👍
My favorite for now, you literally took us to higher grounds !!!
Amazing artist you are ! 💖
Thanks Khalil! going to keep trying to improve :)
this is so pleasant to watch, i love everything about it
I imagine he's using wax paper under his drawing hand, but I wonder if he does something else to prevent smudging.
bro how do you not have back problems??
He is young which helps a lot.
One piece must take months. You are truly amazing, you were given a beautiful gift.
This is well deserving of money, may you receive the recognition you deserve. Through all the hard work, you’ve made a prodigious piece of work and I’m glad I’m here to see it.
Is this really handmade drawing...I can't believe it😯
why do you put water on paper?
FIROZ GAMING i think he does this for a smooth background. After its wet he maybe uses compressed charcoal sticks so they dont leave marks.
He mentions in another one of his videos that he does this to flatten and stretch the paper to make it easier to work.
This is art...something that ignites emotions and feelings in a person that don't came from anywhere else. Art: "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." I don't think I've ever been emotional while watching someone create art, not even with my own.
Magnificent! That's amazing! I loved it!
Just find your videos and seriously are you human?
