That is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I used to draw realistic animals so I know what you were talking about and just wow I can’t imagine the work that went into that, it’s beautiful. I’m happy it got you a lot of recognition because you sure do deserve it. It can be really frustrating being an artist.
Crest Raizn he might be trying to bait whoooosh’es? So uh, I’m just gonna r/wosh u haha funny hilarious; r/woooosh haha i made it guys thanks for the reddit gold hahaha ha ha.
This is the art that millionaire's should pay millions for... a draw that is truly beautiful and was made with dedication and hard work not some splash on a white board
@@annonymous3632 Someone did indeed eat it (I think they ate it while it was still duct taped to the wall though with their face pressed up against the board that it was taped to, lol), but it did definitely sell before that. The man who ate it was another artist and it was all part of the act (of utterly talentless clowns).
This is awesome! I'm really happy that finishing the drawing was at least able to help you recover from the financial situation you were in. It's definitely an amazing piece of art, and I really hope you keep such great work up!
Because the people with this ability are few and far between. He is an artist. People like him are artists. There might be, maybe 500 of them at a time in the world. If we were honest about what at is and who artists are imagine how crushed the wannabes would be. Imagine how defeated the American CIA would feel after spending billions to convince people splashing paint on a canvas is art would be.
because hyperrealism with a surreal twist is boring, pure show, no content, technical stuff, but the good stuff is somewhere else, let me give you the example of Baldomero Romero Ressendi, googla that shit, das the gud shit
@@Dawn24Michele You don't seem to understand the concept of art, there are many different types of art/artists. Just because you don't appreciate a particular style doesn't mean it's not art & there is most certainly a LOT more than 500 hyper realism artists in the world at a time. Don't get mad that other forms of art are also appreciated highly, just respect the arts or move along. Why make shit up just to be a negative wank stain?
@@shakma_X I love hyperrealism. There are so many complicadet drawing techniques involved, that it always blow my mind, when I see a drawing like that. With mordern art, I don't know it feels like that a child done that.
There are levels of work and then there seems to be a portal some artists take to a whole new set of levels this exists outside all of those levels. It's so beautiful it's almost soul-crushing. Love it
Keep going I've just became a huge fan of yours! Your story was really inspiring and made me feel that I was not alone in those "soul-crushing" pain whenever I'm doing an artwork that takes months to finish. Thank you for the wonderful story.
Thank you so much for this video! I made a huge charcoal drawing 2 years ago, realistic (not hyperrealistic like yours), but still - it took me so long. Drawing like this just feels like work, your eyes are swollen at the end of the day and you move in between centimeters all the time. After couple of hours, the progress is not in relation and you think : goood this is will be a long long run. I can totally relate to that feeling and the result is rewarding! It's definitely an incredible drawing!
Laser Animations you can’t hold yourself to the same level as someone who has this much experience, you’re talented no matter how good others are. That’s like saying if you can only juggle 5 balls, but the world record holder can do 10 or 12 easily, then you’re bad, but you’re not, 5 balls is amazing, barley anyone can do that! So what you can’t be as good as him yet, you’re talented, and maybe one day, you’ll reach the 12 balls.
Jono! I've just discovered you and your INCREDIBLE talent! It's such a proud feeling to see a fellow South African putting out world class art combined with excellent footage into the www. Thank you for sharing your background story and congratulations on completing Pupil. I hope you will continue to be recognised and richly rewarded!
I have a few pieces myself that I had to abandon for one reason or another. For me, knowing whether to come back and finish the piece or move on is answered by that instant gut feeling. I’m glad you finished this one, Jono. ...... I can only imagine the struggles you went through knowing it’s incredible potential
When you spent so much time talking about the negatives, and then ended with, "go for it". Even though it was hard, it was meaningful. Gives me the motivation to start something new and big
Just a beautiful piece of work, and I recognise your frustration and despair over finishing your work. Many times I have to give up and then go back when refreshed and inspired to carry on with a different perspective. It must be very frustrating if you are totally financially dependent on your work. I wish you well and try not to get too frustrated, have complete breaks, walk in the countryside and refresh your mind!
Jono you are so humble and for that, I have the utmost respect. For your artwork there my vocabulary falters to express my appreciation for your talent. Please keep drawing and sharing. Thank you.
It's a super common genre and actually in concept is a lot easier in my opinion than say something like professional level illustration. The only thing is the time it requires. It's not nearly as hard to more or less copy some things you see than it is to invent things you haven't seen.
According to him he did some SMALL WORKS on the side while drawing this.. I can't even think of making those small works that he did even if I tried for a life time .
Inspirational level of skill and patience. Without artists like this we wouldn’t be able to understand what can be achieve with practise and determination. Makes me want to be a better artist and find ways to express myself and inspire others. Thank you
Man, all your drawings are incredible! The one you took the most was definitely awesome. Thanks for sharing and all the hard work you have done. You are amazing!
I can 100% identify with what you said about reward system. I only start to have fun drawing when I see that it's gonna turn out good. Huge respect for you to finish that massive drawing man.
I love that this drawing has so many layers to it. You have the stunning hyper realistic image it portrays, the meaning it carries (which most probably varies from person to person), the incredible amount of work it took, and the immense emotional and mental toll it took to make this. Your patience is admirable, if I had to stare at my own art for any more than a few days I’d go crazy, and I make geometric shit that isn’t even that artsy, not realistic stuff. Congratulations for making such an eye catching piece (sorry for the word play), with such an enormous input that you can see not only from the precision, but also just the general feel of it. It is unimaginably beautiful, I applaud you for your skill and care in all the art I’ve seen by you, especially this one.
Well I don’t know where to start. Your incredible descriptions are perfectly detailed while completely accessible. And your work .. I am awe struck and inspired. WoW ! 💫
That is awesome man glad you didn’t give up on that price it brightened up my day... it’s the kinda thing that I didn’t know I needed to see but now that I did I’m just in awe!!! Keep it up and thanks for making the world a more beautiful place to live.
Bad mango Its so annoying sometimes. Cause’ even when i draw this happens. Its a curse haha. But its crazy, artists are very self destructive. So anyone can be one.
Ive never seen anyone who can draw the cell structures and membrane vessels like this. Its is like drawing textures in an atomic level that is really incredible.
I've been a bit rusty from not drawing so much for quite some time and have come across some videos such as yours and all are giving me inspiration to start practicing again and I love watching how you put so much detail into each piece that I have used that to practice drawing pieces in a different way. Beautiful work
@@JonoDry i think it's like writer's block for artists and if you aren't drawing regularly enough you kinda get stagnant and rusty but it never leaves you, you just need to find inspiration to help it along and I think that's what I did. I got stuck with daily life and my sewing that I wasn't drawing anymore so it's really nice when you come across people or pieces that bring that urge to draw back. Thank you 😊
What ticks me off is that there was a person who duck taped a banana to a wall and sold it for 12 grand. And there are people like this who work their ass off to create this beautiful art work and are under rated.
Nice. Time does not equals money. Creativity equals money in the art world. Thousands of artists today do this photorealistic style. From an analytical perspective this piece is very boring.
Hi! I am a 14 year old “artist” and I (try) to make hyperrealism art. Its not great,nor is it as amazing as these pieces of yours. But i wanted to say that this inspired me in so many ways. It has given me this feeling of wanting to fulfill my dreams of becoming a artist, selling my art, grow my instagram following etc. And I want to thank you for that. So.. thank you 🥰 Much love, Lucinda
@@pineapple3555 I did check the price. It's about 600$ for a print. Which is very fine if you think about all the hours put into this work. But sadly I am not rich enough to afford this.
I'm upset that mediocre or downright inexperienced artists get millions apon millions of dollars and subs, but artists like him don't get what they truly deserve for their work
When you pour so much of yourself into work it is almost priceless because who can pay you for the hours and days and years. even when you are not working on it your mind is musing over it ugh. When you gave how long it took it really hit home thank you sometimes we get into our own world we can not possibly conceive how anyone can relate. Then that small spark happens when someone does. This was therapy for me to start again.
Also not as easy as that. Skill =|= art. It's more abstract than that. Tolstoi had a really good starting point when it comes to the definition of "art". Although I agree, the art world is a joke, its just pretending to be in on a joke that doesnt even exist or as Matthew put it: money laundering.
I am an artist and that's common comment by ignorant people who dont understand ART.Sure a child maybe able to copy Mark Rothko but what he did was revolutionary in terms of ART.Same can be said all late Picasso Art when he basically painted like a child but he was still Picasso.There is evolutionary aspect about ART.What this artist did sadly is nothing innovative.There are dozens and dozens of Artists doing super realism and that gets old as well.Copying from a photo is pointless....when the end result is same as photo!!
@@rubo1964 Theres a reason after all that portraits began to fall off once we had the first camera. I think it's important to try and find the middle ground. I get that people think certain art pieces are easy to make or silly and others that think its an ignorant position to hold because of xyc. I think its too easy to just see it in black/white. The readymade art of Duchamp is a good example. You could argue that its either just lazy and uncreative or you could say that it challenged the way we look at art and made maybe millions of people think about what it really is that makes it "art". I personally dont have that answered for me quite yet. We can all agree on the fact that those "dentist paintings" that are mostly abstract acryl or oil paintings are definitely not as easy to make as the majority of people say.
I can't even put into words how incredible your work is. Keep challenging yourself and pushing through those barriers that often crush dreamer's dreams.
This is a beautiful piece but I subbed when i went to your page and saw tutorials. Your willingness to share and help others is also a beautiful thing.
I'm working on a drawing from a picture I took of my dogs eye with the reflection of my other dog in it. I lost them both and while challenging for me emotionally I hope by the end to find it cathartic in helping me make peace with my grief. People don't understand how much of ourselves we truly put into our work, they are literally reflections of our souls. Don't let ANYONE that's incapable of doing what you do tell you how to do it! You will ALWAYS find success in staying true to yourself! This piece and your story behind it has inspired me even more to see it thru, thank you 🙏💚
It literally breaks my heart when an artist go through the pain of not being appreciated for works they put more than 💯 in. You will do great buddy just be +ve and I love your work.
There are thousands of people who work hard and are unappreciated. Artists are the last people on the list you should have sympathy for. Considering people pay 100 million for a blank canvas or a single color....... What this guy does is real art but he knows what he's getting himself into.
@@Tony-nl6pf usually people don't just get billions of dollars for art, that's just on rare occasions. Art is something people do, it's what they love (most of the time I suppose). Not many people do it as a career though, as it doesn't pay well. Art is something people love, so i don't think any artist would really care if they got payed or not, because they enjoyed creating what they made.
I love seeing artists putting all their time and keeping all their priorities aside, for the art they are working on... Artists like you are legend, in the era of abstractionism; artists like you are spending like years on a work... Most of cases, it don’t pay off.. sadly.. But the satisfaction and the inner stream of happiness flowing inside is way too much precious than the financial profit of the painting.. Once the work is done.. hanged.. and you look at it.. reminiscing all the moments and the stories, goods- bads going on that time; when the final magic was in process... you know, how heavenly it feels. So much motivating and inspiring seeing great artists like you, putting your everything in a single work... 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Hats off!! Regards, Liam.
Thank you... I've been months on my series I've been working on, brought tears to my eyes, the similarities with the struggle within... Thank you for your inspirering words...
Wow, beyond amazing! Jono you are truly gifted the way you can create such realism onto paper. It truly is amazing that you have the vision to see with each stroke, the depth and highlight of areas that created this magnificent masterpiece. It is truly life like! My husband and I are in complete awe of your gift and vision. Your humbleness of your talent and the journey of time it took to complete this amazing piece puts into perspective your commitment to your work. We wish you continued success on your creative journey, safety and health thru these times of Covid. Well done!!
Yes, i understand. Good to know, because of your story of persistent going on even if the circumstances make it impossible. Is not only for artist good to hear!
This video popped up in my homepage a year ago ... And that's when I started to draw after almost 2 years of detachment to art . Thank you jono you have always been a inspiration for me 😁
i looked at the thumbnail and i was like "heheh nice photgra- *reads title* WAIT WHATTTT???!!!" im 13 and im getting into sketching and drawing and i did an eye recently that looked mildly acceptable, so your inhumane skill at drawing is incredible inspiration. keep doing this and i can bet you'll grow bigger and bigger and i wish you good luck :)
It was not a tearable idea Jono... It was an amazing masterpiece. If I could, I would put a piece of your work on my wall any day. I feel blessed to have seen your art. Never stop creating.
You are amazing! I have to admire your patience and your hard work to finish it and I have to say if you love your work it doesn't matter how long it took you. I am a huge fan of your work.
Gifted and extraordinary person like you...probably have your challenges...cause your thinking, ideas, imaginations whatever one calls, r so complex and grand...but keep on marching ahead. The world is waiting to see more of your work. Keep your spirit high and wish you the best.
I'm also addicted or obsessed with drawing eyes..AND I wish that i could soon expose a soul attracting drawing too,like your one is beautiful and amazing. It was great to hear you learning to be stronger while you were breaking down. Its encouraging thank you!!
Jono, you succeed in zooming in closer than a magnifying glass for your detail, and the result is absolutely poetic. I have never seen anything more intriguing.

Hi Jono, Im in SA and you are my role model. I use charcoal and Im so obsessed with the detail in your drawings. Never stop and keep pushing. You inspire so many people and teach me so much! When it comes to my artwork, I never stop looking at yours for motivation.
Holy Moley! And I like to think of myself as a photorealistic artist , lol. I'm so glad you pushed thru and finished this. Your attention to detail is only rivalled by an electron microscope . I've been watching your vids non stop. Thank you so much for your incredible artwork and putting these vids up to help the world . One artist at a time. You are truly incredible!
I realy want to thank you, because there’s a long time that I don’t draw, and you made me feel confident about it again. If you see it, thank you so much.

@@user-ld2sb8pr5n 6 letters isnt very big
Yall clearly can't take a joke. 🤣
Thats sad
Lmfaoo dude deleted my comment scary ass niggas
I dont think i would of have the heart to sell this afterwars
I would
tom kaz if you went through his living hell you wouldn’t. You become attached to things you’ve spent months drawing.
🥺
γσυr dεαd hσυsε ριαητ่ Maybe,depends on the price though
I've been a bit rusty from not drawing so much for quite some time and have come across some videos such as yours and all are giving me inspiration to start practicing again and I love watching how you put so much detail into each piece that I have used that to practice drawing pieces in a different way.
Beautiful work
Thank you so much 😀 Hope you get back into drawing! 🙌
@@JonoDry i think it's like writer's block for artists and if you aren't drawing regularly enough you kinda get stagnant and rusty but it never leaves you, you just need to find inspiration to help it along and I think that's what I did. I got stuck with daily life and my sewing that I wasn't drawing anymore so it's really nice when you come across people or pieces that bring that urge to draw back.
Thank you 😊
I have never had the opportunity to see your work until this very moment. I fell upon you and I so grateful I did... thank you for sharing.
What ticks me off is that there was a person who duck taped a banana to a wall and sold it for 12 grand. And there are people like this who work their ass off to create this beautiful art work and are under rated.
They're waiting for him to die so they can sell and profit off his work.
*120 grand
Simple supply and demand
Nice. Time does not equals money. Creativity equals money in the art world. Thousands of artists today do this photorealistic style. From an analytical perspective this piece is very boring.
@@JohnnySins69XObut a banana duct taped to a wall is very creative and interesting , and definetly worth 120 grand .
Mona Lisa: exists
This picture: Im bout to ruin this woman’s whole career
I am Lynx XD
Overused
I am Lynx i hate to be that one person but stfu about the Monna Lisa
Hold my art supply’s
no
Jono, thank you for this. I am so glad I took the time to watch. Hearts and blessings. 🌙💜☮️
alternate title: "i hated my existence for 2 years, here's why"
no joke, i had that thought when i worked on an artwork for only 2 months.
Hi!
I am a 14 year old “artist” and I (try) to make hyperrealism art. Its not great,nor is it as amazing as these pieces of yours. But i wanted to say that this inspired me in so many ways. It has given me this feeling of wanting to fulfill my dreams of becoming a artist, selling my art, grow my instagram following etc. And I want to thank you for that.
So.. thank you 🥰
Much love,
Lucinda
I am so mad this guy isn't super rich. Like his talent is beyond amazing..artists really need more gratitude..
Maudie Maude okay.. so then buy his art. I’m not bc I rlly don’t care about art and plus it’s probably really expensive
@@Jay-ye1up I agree about the artist pieces are sold for WAY too much, but I have to agree more about the high rappers
@@pineapple3555 I did check the price. It's about 600$ for a print. Which is very fine if you think about all the hours put into this work. But sadly I am not rich enough to afford this.
Easier to advise but hard to execute
I'm upset that mediocre or downright inexperienced artists get millions apon millions of dollars and subs, but artists like him don't get what they truly deserve for their work
When you pour so much of yourself into work it is almost priceless because who can pay you for the hours and days and years. even when you are not working on it your mind is musing over it ugh. When you gave how long it took it really hit home thank you sometimes we get into our own world we can not possibly conceive how anyone can relate. Then that small spark happens when someone does. This was therapy for me to start again.
What an outstanding talent you are. The finished product is both striking and phenomenal, thank you for keeping at it, you gave this piece life!
Dayum, he was drawing the pupil to become the pupil.
woke.

This is what I call art. Not the shitty ones selling for millions that can be made by a child.
those ones are just use as an excuse to launder money. no one actually spends real money on art
Also not as easy as that. Skill =|= art. It's more abstract than that. Tolstoi had a really good starting point when it comes to the definition of "art". Although I agree, the art world is a joke, its just pretending to be in on a joke that doesnt even exist or as Matthew put it: money laundering.
@@user-rr5lj8nu3n that's a really shitty opinion but ok I guess u have the right
I am an artist and that's common comment by ignorant people who dont understand ART.Sure a child maybe able to copy Mark Rothko but what he did was revolutionary in terms of ART.Same can be said all late Picasso Art when he basically painted like a child but he was still Picasso.There is evolutionary aspect about ART.What this artist did sadly is nothing innovative.There are dozens and dozens of Artists doing super realism and that gets old as well.Copying from a photo is pointless....when the end result is same as photo!!
@@rubo1964 Theres a reason after all that portraits began to fall off once we had the first camera. I think it's important to try and find the middle ground. I get that people think certain art pieces are easy to make or silly and others that think its an ignorant position to hold because of xyc. I think its too easy to just see it in black/white.
The readymade art of Duchamp is a good example. You could argue that its either just lazy and uncreative or you could say that it challenged the way we look at art and made maybe millions of people think about what it really is that makes it "art".
I personally dont have that answered for me quite yet. We can all agree on the fact that those "dentist paintings" that are mostly abstract acryl or oil paintings are definitely not as easy to make as the majority of people say.
I'm very inspired, I almost gave up drawing but I'm now encouraged thank you. Love the piece.
I can't even put into words how incredible your work is. Keep challenging yourself and pushing through those barriers that often crush dreamer's dreams.
imagine he spills water onto this drawing right when finishes
No.
@@JonoDry haha, well done, its amazing! Hard work paid off!
I did that one time😭 but still got to an art museum
@Ethan Style Videos that kinda got me a little turned on...bug porn.
You guys are weird
A masterpiece like this: exists
What people pay thousands for: a duct-taped banana
wait fr?
The mona lisa isn't even that good... only reason it got famous was cuz it was stolen by some dude, and that story made it to the news
@@Mori-th9ws 5 people bought it.
@Nersl it wasn't bought, the author of that whatever it is ate it
And then made a new one but I don't remember what he said why did he eat it
@@thingsido8695 and shared it
This is a beautiful piece but I subbed when i went to your page and saw tutorials. Your willingness to share and help others is also a beautiful thing.
I'm working on a drawing from a picture I took of my dogs eye with the reflection of my other dog in it. I lost them both and while challenging for me emotionally I hope by the end to find it cathartic in helping me make peace with my grief. People don't understand how much of ourselves we truly put into our work, they are literally reflections of our souls. Don't let ANYONE that's incapable of doing what you do tell you how to do it! You will ALWAYS find success in staying true to yourself! This piece and your story behind it has inspired me even more to see it thru, thank you 🙏💚
It literally breaks my heart when an artist go through the pain of not being appreciated for works they put more than 💯 in.
You will do great buddy just be +ve and I love your work.
Just say 100
There are thousands of people who work hard and are unappreciated. Artists are the last people on the list you should have sympathy for. Considering people pay 100 million for a blank canvas or a single color....... What this guy does is real art but he knows what he's getting himself into.
Why do you choose to make writing harder than it has to be
@@Tony-nl6pf usually people don't just get billions of dollars for art, that's just on rare occasions. Art is something people do, it's what they love (most of the time I suppose). Not many people do it as a career though, as it doesn't pay well. Art is something people love, so i don't think any artist would really care if they got payed or not, because they enjoyed creating what they made.
@@booty_hunter4207
Because it feels good.
I love seeing artists putting all their time and keeping all their priorities aside, for the art they are working on...
Artists like you are legend, in the era of abstractionism; artists like you are spending like years on a work...
Most of cases, it don’t pay off.. sadly..
But the satisfaction and the inner stream of happiness flowing inside is way too much precious than the financial profit of the painting..
Once the work is done.. hanged.. and you look at it.. reminiscing all the moments and the stories, goods- bads going on that time; when the final magic was in process... you know, how heavenly it feels.
So much motivating and inspiring seeing great artists like you, putting your everything in a single work...
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Hats off!!
Regards,
Liam.
Please make a vid on how you picture your work....
Plz
whats so bad about abstractionists?
Thank you... I've been months on my series I've been working on, brought tears to my eyes, the similarities with the struggle within... Thank you for your inspirering words...
Wow, beyond amazing! Jono you are truly gifted the way you can create such realism onto paper. It truly is amazing that you have the vision to see with each stroke, the depth and highlight of areas that created this magnificent masterpiece. It is truly life like! My husband and I are in complete awe of your gift and vision. Your humbleness of your talent and the journey of time it took to complete this amazing piece puts into perspective your commitment to your work. We wish you continued success on your creative journey, safety and health thru these times of Covid. Well done!!
At this point I don't even know if he slapped paint on his eye and slammed his face on the paper
hold up, wait a minute, somethin aint right
😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is actually an artist that paint using her eye splashing colors to canvas, lmao.
@@bintangsatriou7976 *thats not the case*
That's kinda not how it works 😂
Me: *sees thumbnail* Oh damn, that's a nice picture.
Me: *looks at title*
Me: 0____0
It's still a picture! 😁
@@noyevlogs4855 ur self promoting but u make good art!
Yes, i understand. Good to know, because of your story of persistent going on even if the circumstances make it impossible. Is not only for artist good to hear!
This video popped up in my homepage a year ago ... And that's when I started to draw after almost 2 years of detachment to art . Thank you jono you have always been a inspiration for me 😁
i looked at the thumbnail and i was like "heheh nice photgra- *reads title* WAIT WHATTTT???!!!"
im 13 and im getting into sketching and drawing and i did an eye recently that looked mildly acceptable, so your inhumane skill at drawing is incredible inspiration. keep doing this and i can bet you'll grow bigger and bigger and i wish you good luck :)
You should start an art channel
You should
It was not a tearable idea Jono... It was an amazing masterpiece. If I could, I would put a piece of your work on my wall any day. I feel blessed to have seen your art. Never stop creating.
You have great patience, man. Keep up your creative work, wish u all the best!
You are amazing! I have to admire your patience and your hard work to finish it and I have to say if you love your work it doesn't matter how long it took you. I am a huge fan of your work.
this looks more like an eye than an actual eye
You’re drawing soo perfectly, that even photos couldn’t show us all these details. Man you have a blessed hand, keep on doing what amazes us.
Gifted and extraordinary person like you...probably have your challenges...cause your thinking, ideas, imaginations whatever one calls, r so complex and grand...but keep on marching ahead. The world is waiting to see more of your work. Keep your spirit high and wish you the best.
I'm also addicted or obsessed with drawing eyes..AND I wish that i could soon expose a soul attracting drawing too,like your one is beautiful and amazing. It was great to hear you learning to be stronger while you were breaking down. Its encouraging thank you!!
Jono, you succeed in zooming in closer than a magnifying glass for your detail, and the result is absolutely poetic. I have never seen anything more intriguing.
Jono: Spends almost 2 years on a drawing
Me : Takes a pencil draws a circle with a dot and calls it a day!

It's so lovely of you to share your feelings and the transformative experience you went through, with this 'guiding eye'. Peace 🎨💐 Joy
I'm glad you exist. Your drawings are my new source of inspiration. They make me study and practice more to be better. Thank you. Keep going. 😍❤
People draw a line and call it art and get *millions*
Here we see real talent.Bravo
That dopamine explanation makes so much sense, and also why I’m so tempted to post updates of drawings on IG to get the appreciation
Go for it!
Sameeeeee omg

You are beyond talented! I love your work. I find the journey behind them fascinating. I wish I could see your work in person.
my friend you are blessed !!! your art is exquisite ! keep working, never give up, be safe. RESPECT.
Hi Jono, Im in SA and you are my role model. I use charcoal and Im so obsessed with the detail in your drawings. Never stop and keep pushing. You inspire so many people and teach me so much! When it comes to my artwork, I never stop looking at yours for motivation.
Mama Mia..
Here we go again
Stunning piece of work, beautifully executed and well explained. Your honesty does you proud. Thanks.
Holy Moley! And I like to think of myself as a photorealistic artist , lol. I'm so glad you pushed thru and finished this. Your attention to detail is only rivalled by an electron microscope . I've been watching your vids non stop. Thank you so much for your incredible artwork and putting these vids up to help the world . One artist at a time. You are truly incredible!
I admire your use of Depth of field. Blurring the foreground and blurring the background. You're teaching us so many things. We are grateful!
Thank me for watching? No. You will be counted among the legends. I've never seen anything like this, and it's a pleasure to see it now, so thank you!
I realy want to thank you, because there’s a long time that I don’t draw, and you made me feel confident about it again. If you see it, thank you so much.
your art is amazing, you have such patience!! I am a quickie artist!! Wham bam done and onto the next thing, so I admire what you do so very much!!
Love the work, but also your generosity in sharing your arc of process, truly human in it's finest sense.
I appreciate that, Timothy! Thanks for watching 😁
