Answering Your Questions - Dealing with Doubt, Procrastination & More

[@secretfolders6069]

I'm rewatching every jono videos 3:59 is the most charming thing I've seen all day

[@grahamparr3933]

As in most things in life there are at least two ways to succeed, firstly raw talent, and an eye for detail, second sheer hard work and dedication. I am reminded of two British golfers, Sandy Lyle and Nick Faldo, Lyle naturally gifted and relaxed, Faldo living on the driving range hitting ball after ball till His hands bled, made himself into a five major title champion, Lyle only won the one Masters.

[@graceshot9131]

Jono Dry is one of the most skilled pencil artists and most underated on KZbin.

[@artistute325]

Yes , we should help him as much as we can.

[@monishgamedevtamil5921]

True🖤

I going to share his channel and share his beautiful work

[@jonathannuamah3296]

I know right?

[@aaimansabharwal5201]

Am not skipping the ads coming on his videos

[@adnanalam2006]

I love people with deep voice, but deep voiced people always sounds arrogant and people with high pitched voice sounds humble. But Jono is the only person I've seen with a deeper and a humble voice/personality. Favourite person.

[@JonoDry]

That's so kind! Thanks so much

[@adnanalam2006]

A very charming personality

[@mohammadasik4833]

My brother is such a big fan of yours, you inspire him everyday he watches your videos like day and night. Thanks for inspiring everyone ❤️ God bless you, love your work.

Your honesty in answering the crowd questions is quite touching. Your art is exquisite. Your acknowledgement of luck is honest. All this is needed in an artist

Most short intro : Hi! I'm Jono Dry , If you're new here I do here pencil drawings. 👍

You are really great artist.... Love from India ♥

[@jeanhugues9910]

This is so amazing for an artist like you talking about procrastination and self doubt

[@copyrightshouldart]

Finally, an artist that thinks like me when it comes to "talent". It all comes down to hard work and long hours. Yet, people still believe that we artists create something stunning as if it was nothing. Jono, you are good at what you do because you have spent all that time working at it and you are a true inspiration to me and other artists. Thank you for being so sincere in answering these questions. You are the best!

[@Bright-It]

I wish YT videos follow this level of usefulness, clarity and beauty. I am glad you are here. Thank you! ♥️

You are tooooo good sir I'm a big fan of you . i love the way you teach. I always waiting for your new video. lot's of love 😊

Patreon Jono, that’s a good place to start

[@skygirl2071]

I was curious about how you would answer the age question. I'm 48 and a novice artist, still just getting my feet wet. I feel like I have something inside me that I have a need and passion to express. Whenever I am creating, that something trickles out and I feel purpose and I totally get lost in what I'm doing. I want that dam to break wide open. Your videos inspire me! Your works inspire me! I think I need to go draw now. Have a wonderfully creative day everyone!

[@sompattanaik694]

When your next master piece is coming....we r waiting for the video❤️❤️

Even with that talent, he's still humble. Good job to you Jono Dry💖💖

[@jodexabellonacarag2139]

I can listen to Jono all day long with that soothing voice.

[@jyotsnasah5369]

Huge thank you to jono dry for taking art to another level 🙏👏 it gives me inspiration to focus and work more on my drawings 🥰 thank yo so much

[@JonoDry]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad it's been helpful😊

[@artwithaayush3714]

Hi dd I hope u remember me even he is mine inspiration

[@macmcdadeart]

I totally agree...it’s never too late. Like you, I have never studied art, but was always drawing as a child and into my teens. I made choices in my life that took me in another direction and only now, as I’m about to turn 59, do I find myself getting back my artistic mojo. I have found your art and videos inspiring and informative. I love your work and upon seeing it I instantly thought ‘this is the kind of work I might have done had I kept going all those years ago’. I’m not one for dwelling on the past or thinking ‘if only I’d done this or that’, that time has gone. I’m just grateful that I can still produce art, though not anything like your work 🙇🏼, and there are people like you out there willing to share their work and experiences to help and encourage people like me to keep at it. A huge thank you Jono.

[@clarewillison9379]

Procrastination is often linked to a desire for perfection. Anxiety arises from fear of missing it. It can be crippling and a walk or doing a less intimidating drawing exercise can break the pattern, as long as you come back to whatever you were procrastinating (or you’ll train yourself to keep avoiding similar situations!). Break it down into manageable chunks, and don’t think too far ahead. Also tell yourself that no one and nothing is truly perfect and doing the best you can is always better than doing nothing. 🕊❤️

[@JonoDry]

That's a really lovely way to look at it. Thanks so much for sharing this insight!

[@boki742]

Every time i'm not in the mood to draw, i just watch some of your videos and immediately get the inspiration to draw for days. Thank you very much Jono Dry. Keep going, you are the best!

[@shilpachande3424]

He does not give as many tricks and real time demonstrations but the unusual tips he gives just help a lot

[@singasong1209]

U r a gentleman......big round of applause to you.....

[@mayankprajapati1876]

You are amazing and source of inspiration

[@nethumidulansa5255]

I just wanna say that your at works are wonderful, amazing 👏❤ . I saw your videos few days ago and watched, it really inspired me and made me to work harder on my art work. Still I am 14 , have school work to do but drawing is just always in first place in my heart. I started pencil drawing two years ago and I really see a big progress of my work now. And I think I do a quite good job for my age but still do lots of mistakes. I wanna thank you for sharing your technics with us, It helped me to realise my mistakes and learn more. So thank you so so much.

[@Daisy-qt4lo]

Waiting for this video 😭

[@nicoledice6288]

I agree, I think art needs to be interpreted by the viewer. It keeps each viewers experience intimate and unique, and I love how thought provoking your work is

[@paulamorgan8030]

You area very humble young man. I love your artwork and in awe of the level of detail you put into each piece. Keep them coming please!

[@achillelalonde]

Superb video. You effectively touched on quite a number of v germaine topics for me. The bit about ‘never too late’ is so right on for this elderly gent. ....essentially I started painting at 70. In gratitude, achille ps I have a great deal of appreciation of you, and of your work.

[@JonoDry]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's so inspiring to hear that! Really appreciate your support and thank you for reaching out.

[@user-oy1hd6tt9t]

You are a inspiration to the rest of us artist. I love your work, and you have a great personality that honors our art world. Thank you for being real.

Funny enough I came to youtube looking for this and it drops literally seconds after looking for it.

[@JoseShiffinsArtboard]

Simply inspirational.. when ever it becomes a pain even to fill an A4 , i literally peek into your work the 'pupil' and my A4 'shrinks' to manageable size . Thanks for that.

[@gossamyr]

1. Thank you for being you and showing me that my love of graphite is not misplaced ;) 2. Do you put any sketchbook time in or is it focused on singular pieces? 3. How do you get Adouble0 into the computer? Scanner? High end camera? Wormhole?

You are very kind...

Thanks jono for the heart

[@kkoontz5759]

Well done Jono! I always enjoy your videos. They always remind me that we are all human. And we all experience things differently. Keep up the great work. ☺️

[@robertjael]

Its been a year and i still enjoy all his videos over and over again

[@thongkhohemart667]

It's good to see more videos like this

[@ashishuikey5870]

Jono dry saying *I do pencil drawings* is like superman saying *I'm just a mere human* .

[@graphiteart2020]

Love all your videos, great advice and guidance. I would like to see a real time video of say 30 minutes to demonstrate a realistic speed that we should expect. I know you wouldn’t cover a great deal in 30 minute but would demonstrate how you achieve such accuracy and detail. You must have plenty of footage to choose from.

[@ramprasadgaddikeri3984]

You are sincere and honest in answering the questions . And your works are just WONDERFUL !

[@cristianbarrionuevo294]

I can't imagine all the time, work and sacrifice that each of those works represents, you really must love what you do

[@fredacaccavale242]

You’re mom must be very proud of you. I love watching your videos. Your so down to earth and it’s very refreshing. You inspire me.

[@tsvetomilsemkov2527]

More videos, Jono !! It is such a pleasure to listen to you and see your process. Please keep them coming

[@brianh8801]

I’m rediscovering my passion for art after 25 years of basically being dormant. It’s mostly due to being recently hired to teach high school art classes, but it’s reignited things I haven’t felt since back in the day. It hasn’t been easy trying to do things that were once 2nd nature after years of neglect, but I’m enjoying the challenge. Your work is amazing, but I particularly enjoy how you provide feedback and answer questions. Both help to inspire and motivate me. I can only hope I’m ever close enough to see your work in exhibit someday. Take Care

[@matesandorzalan960]

Haha, I am Hungarian as well as Barcsay and his Anatomy book was one of the first books about art my mother gave me when I was a kid. It was a requirement to have it at University of Arts so it was handy to own one. Glad to hear that you consider it as your favourite art book. Your works are amazing!

[@mdprospect5149]

Most best humble artist

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Jono, thank you. You've inspired me so much with this talk. I've desperately needed to create more discipline in my daily routine, but just needed a push, and this is it. This is why it's so crucial that artists band together in some way and communicate. We are not like the others. And in ways that are not easily described, we need validation and support from each other, to remind ourselves we're not the only person in the world whose life goal is to create something from nothing.

[@usbarts]

I have also started using stencil which is becoming a must thing when I draw dark areas thank you Jono dry soon going to upload a my realistic with your tips thank you 😊

[@DavidBallin]

Really great video! Always so inspiring Jono, you’ve convinced me to return to graphite after quite a long break. Also, I know you’re probably sick of all the questions, but if you had time I was wondering how you go about doing the really detailed parts of your drawings? I often become too overwhelmed when I reach a part that feels chaotic because of the detail and end up not drawing that section as well as I could.

[@jorickards5599]

Well done Jono, I love your videos too much, I show them to my students as part of the Visual Art course I teach. I could listen to you for hours. I have questions for your next video (or perhaps they are a bit deep 🤷‍♀️?). ‘How do you deal with disappointment? Have you ever been disappointed with a drawing, or discarded a piece half way through?’ ‘You talk about ‘luck’, what were some of the circumstances or incidents that you feel contributed significantly to your journey in terms of ‘luck’? Do you believe that you can create your own good luck? If so, how have you done that? Love ya x Jo

[@deepakvishok4250]

You are such an amazing artist and this video motivated me

[@blackandwhite1756]

Ive admired your work for so long. you are absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! One of the things that frustrates me sometimes is that after seeing a great Artist such as yourself, i go through a wave of emotions. I feel really good and motivated to strive for anything that even remotely resembles your efforts, but then after a few trials and errors i get discouraged. I am overwhelmingly sensitive when it comes to art, always comparing myself to other artists even though im just learning.

[@JonoDry]

It can be so difficult to overcome self doubt, I struggle with it too. It's important to remember that each person has a unique perspective and you just have to keep aiming to translate that onto the page. Keep it up and don't get disheartened!
