How I Learnt to Draw Water

[@tylerroach928]

For me the hardest thing about art is patience and consistency.

[@arthurlefevre7706]

motivation, confidence, perseverance: the three things that are for me the most important. If you fail, you must redo it, you have to be confident in yourself, be enough motivated to continue and persevere the longer the better.

[@sallysmiles6088]

for me, a little OCD comes in handy

[@Intdu826]

It’s not that hard if you have the right mindset for your work. Patience and consistency will come out on its own if you value the process more than what will be the result of your work. Just saying from my experience.

[@michealfoux]

right

[@KVKMosotho]

Lol you and i both

"Water has a beautiful way of humbling me, every single time." Beautiful. 💙

[@devchourasia4935]

Came for the lesson Almost left at 'it took 5 months' Stayed for the calming voice

[@JoyfulRelaxation22]

😂😂😂

[@ndemutila]

I gave up on hyper realism years ago until I heard you say "Ja" in a video of yours. You gave hope to alotta people in Namibia where art is under heavy prejudice questioning its relevance and for that we're grateful. PS ek is nog steeds geskok van hoe goed jy is...

[@peachradvan5807]

Your art inspires me and your voice rocks me to sleep... in a good way. Never stop making videos please

[@brendawillems4804]

[@lindsaymitchell8899]

Please keep us in your busy schedule as your thoughts and technique to drawing are so inspiring. Thank you for your kindness in helping others to improve on our skills and looking at our drawings in a new light.

[@alfredhoonter5955]

"It took around 5 months to complete" 😐😐 Aight imma head out

[@indigo4740]

I can't even imagine working on a single picture for that long

[@mimiii.o4]

I thought he said 5 mins😶

[@alfredhoonter5955]

[@jaredthehumanbeing3271]

@Zwenk Wiel no, most of his amazing drawings took many months, it probably took him his whole life to get this good

[@riyagarg753]

I am also trying to make this water sketch art and it's been a month already working on it and half is done... Man it's really hard🥵

[@oldfartdigi-art1363]

Jono, no soggy sentimentality here, just pure admiration. Of course, your work is astounding, but your calming presence has so much impact, that can’t be ignored. So glad to have just found your channel...thank you for sharing your talent with us. Kudos man...kudos. I’ll be following your vids very closely

[@SG-fi9ww]

Holy SHIT that is amazing! You’re so calm when you speak I could listen to you all day 😂 you’re so talented and I’m SO pleased you get to do what you love as a job. You deserve all the publicity and more. Looking forwards to the next one! :)

[@tiahnahgobel2738]

so good to hear a South African accent! Your work is incredible :)

[@stainedhands]

Yes, please do a video on social media marketing for artist, how you navigate the business side, and/or a video on your journey on becoming a professional artist

[@JonoDry]

Added to the list for upcoming videos! Thanks Devyn :)

[@waynealphonso7069]

I'm a artist myself, I'm truly humbled and inspired seeing this video.

[@alphotheone]

Still learning at 70 and love your honesty and straightforwardness about what you have learned! Keep it up and wishing you the best of luck. Love you studio so j........................

[@amberblyledge7859]

But why would you trust a guy who's name is Dry, to teach you to draw water? HHmMMhMmhhm?

[@marvingordon5685]

Amber Blyledge lol😭😂🤣

[@josemendoza5706]

Because water is dry

[@mydailyartwaksh]

And he waters his paper b4 drawing

[@supakku-pc]

Because it was so hard for him to draw water since his name is dry, and he put a lot of effort into mastering it. That’s why you should listen to him. Because he started from the bottom

[@ngantran9884]

⁠@@supakku-pcThe comment above was only a joke but I admit this is deep.

[@Beautyofcolors]

Wow, you are very talented, your work of art is so intricate, it is just marvelous, have an amazing year.

[@adlindanish4854]

So cinematic water splash. I really like it. Congrats @Jono Dry. I really like all your drawing. You're really inspired me 😊

[@mathisgolik3636]

It's awesome to see that it is that "simple" in term of pure skill (contrast is the harder part) but the level it require to be able to draw that

[@SamSam-im1hi]

Has a soothing voice. I feel like artists get the most soothing voices

[@gnostie]

I love drawing water and enjoy watching and listening to other people who are into water. If/when in the mood, please make more water videos.

[@shashankashekhardey8786]

Your channel is exactly what I think a art channel should be

[@jnewbypencilart3642]

You are absolutely amazing and I really do appreciate the how to’s you were posting they really got me motivated and away haven’t been prior to doing my drawings that I’ve been putting off for a while. Thank you

[@errbourne]

From one artist to another... I respect the time and effort you " Jono Dry" put into your craft... Da Vinci would be mind blown.

[@ethanrideaux8459]

Turning the drawing upside down was a brilliant tip. I can now more easily see where tiny flaws are when I’m doing more detailed work! Particularly portraits! Thanks!

[@donnagoode6923]

you might check out a book titled Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain for more tips like this. Also, looking at your work in a mirror can be helpful.

[@caterobbinsmusic676]

I've always loved the feeling of holding a pencil in my hand. It feels like I am holding a magic wand and worlds are waiting to be created through me. Thank you for sharing x

[@pallavikaruna9417]

I like your videos even before watching them...you really inspire me though am not an artist, your videos are like stress buster for me. Love from India and thank you very much.

[@joaomendes1574]

This is for sure one of the most impressive talents that I ever seen

[@crystalwilder]

YES!!! I would love to hear about the business side of art and I'm so glad to hear your channel is growing too. Your videos are like an extension of the art and your work. Each video is artistically recorded and edited. Thought has gone into lighting and angles of the camera and it's done in a way that perfectly showcases you and your craft without it looking like your performing and I love it! Congratulations on a successful 2019 and wishing you an even better 2020! He says water humbles him every time...ROFLMAO! I hear you! I HEAR YOU!

[@stellaqaustralia]

Nekoshi Snowpaw Even his b/w reference photos are art in themselves! Sorry can’t recall exactly which video.

[@davidcapes9629]

Feeding the algorithm, cause you need to be seen by more people. Breathtaking

[@Martycycleman]

Hi Jono, when I have a complicated subject, warter being one tree bark could be another one. I focus in an area using a peice of card with a square whole cut out of it, this could be any size depending on you subject. I then use a similar size cut out on my drawing this focus your mind.

[@emmy16661]

Your voice is lovely, it’s so calming and soft.

[@juliandevita4950]

Just PLEASE keep doing what you are doing and upload here everything, you are more than awesome.

[@guest7play614]

hey jono, I really like your videos! I am starting to draw, and even if I'm just a beginner you give me ideas on what to focus. The thing is, man, YOU are the one we want to see! your personality is so calm and you make every video so interesting, that even if you uploaded like vlogs or videos of any kind I know you'll make them very entertaining. I hope this year you find the breakthroughs you need in drawing and surprise every one of us as alwaysssss

Your skills are so intimidating.

[@walterpatterson5386]

You make such a complex seems so doable thanks.

[@MrJpm1989]

Once you see Mr Drys work its very hard to not compare everything else to his art. Somehow he has with hard work and perfection practice turned his hands into the most amazing camera plus. Jono , you do with a pencil and paper what Neil Peart did with a drum kit in the band Rush. Mr Peart also used a pencil when writing most of the lyrics to Rushes songs.

[@rehack7727]

You should do like an audio book to Liston to while drawing. I would listen to it like every day. XD

You are the one of the unique artists i have ever seen....💓🔥Loads of love from India

[@antonoat]

I've always been fascinated by water, it is the only common element which can exist as a solid (ice), liquid and gas (vapour), I wonder if you could create a drawing which contained all three, could be an interesting project! I guess your imagination is full of ideas and time is the limiting factor! Love your work and your channel, thanks for sharing what you do, it is amazing.
