I often get questions about my studio space so I thought I’d make a video explaining my current setup. In this video, I take you through my studio and run through the equipment I use, offering a bit of insight into how I work. I speak about how I went from working from home to having an external studio, what that transition was like for me and why it was so important for my career. I also share some hacks for how I’ve made improvements to props and equipment so that they work better for me. I hope you can find some helpful tips in the way I’ve set up this space.

Hey John. You're probably not gonna see this. But I'm a small artist from a small town and you inspire me to do so much. I don't know what I'd do without you

[@sambos2212]

Jono, you should make a patreon. I’m sure many people would love to support you and your art

[@JonoDry]

Ah that's great to hear because I've actually got this in the pipeline! Hoping to launch soon😊

​@@JonoDry You should also provide a Donate (Paypal) button for those who are unable to commit to a monthly donation. An occasional $5 from thousands of subscribers may be useful.

[@DerekMoore82]

Shouldn't Patreon donations be for struggling, poor artists rather than guys like this who are *clearly* not struggling by any definition of the word? This guy's videos look like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous where he is showcasing how he is now a baller, and you want to give him *more* money?

[@Sansitasyo]

It will always be a dream for an aspiring artist to have his/her own art studio, I aspire to have my own safe haven space for art too ☝🏼

[@DerekMoore82]

I would not want all of this, I would feel like I'm wasting so much money trying to be all fancy and show off like a narcissistic and shallow, ungrateful person. Meanwhile most artists are living off of Ramen and don't know if they're gonna be homeless soon considering how hard the struggle is. If I had all this, I would be embarrassed by my posh, luxurious, lavish lifestyle while everyone else is starving. What am I, royalty? I definitely wouldn't rub it in people's faces in *this* economy.

[@sergiuman7178]

This studio tour puts in perspective much more than I expected. Currently I am working from my parent's home, because my rent in the city is not such a great spot to be in the pandemic conditions, and for the past couple of months I feel like my bedroom has slowly become my whole little world where art, research and life became one, and as much as I enjoy being here and developing my skills, I miss having my own space, and not to share it with anyone else. That being said, I tackled this opportunity to start working on larger scale pieces, being highly inspired by your techiniques and tips you have given me unknowingly throughout the two years I have been following your work in awe. Even if I do not reach the level of skill or succes to afford my own space dedicate to drawing I will never cease to do it, no matter the conditions or the limitations, drawing is liberating. Also, I might have missed it but... who is Greg?

[@dawnf2z1]

Wishing you every success!

[@darrellwilliams1870]

I completely agree about having things on wheels. It make life in a studio much easier.

[@JonoDry]

It really does! I can't tell you how often it makes a difference to be able to wheel things out the way.

[@fenhermobatuigas5248]

Oh my God i haven't been able to draw for almost a month now but everytime i watch one of your vids it magically makes me artsy again😂

[@JonoDry]

That's great to hear! I'm so glad they're helping😊

[@moritzhauenstein8823]

I love these little silly shots you edited in the video whenever you talked about one specific part of your studio, for example you sliding through the picture when you talked about your standing desk. It really gives a funny vibe to your videos that i personally really enjoy. Keep up the good work💪

[@FireAngelOfLondon]

Your wall easel makes me more determined than ever to build one once I am physically recovered enough to do the work. I have a number of medical problems at the moment including several joint injuries, but they are all getting better so the day is approaching. I am fairly skilled with wood so I really want to build the easel myself so I end up with one that perfectly suits my needs. It needs to be able to hold a drawing board 2m x 1.4m, roughly 6ft 6in by 4 feet.

[@thomasabbott8974]

Joni, Liked your Studio Tour. Real interesting video here. And have a fantastic day today 🌞

Joni really has a very God given clear vision to draw, what his eye visualize he free hand shades into a clear like photograph likeness. He can have his own art gallery where ppl can buy his marvelous creations . I’m sure he can achieve it

[@surfit.]

You are an inspiration. When I first saw your video and artwork, I started drawing again and studying shading by drawing Assassin Creed, The Witcher, Elder Scrolls, and Scorpion's outfits. It took hours and days to complete. There's a lot of detail and shading which helped me with shading. I'm in another media now for income purposes and whenever your video pops up, I wanna get back into drawing with graphite pencil. I screwed-up Elder Scroll's drawing, couldn't save it. Someday, I will redraw him.

[@ilizrdz]

This is a super awesome studio!

[@emilytytheridge7740]

Totally inspired! Thank you for your videos. I would love to see a video on how you decide what size drawing to create, how you present them and hang them. How you store them exactly and transport them for travel. And how you make prints available, do you photograph edit and produce them yourself x

The tech setup is insane. In terms of wires, extension cords and that kind of thing, velcro strips can be helpful in keeping them out of the way by sticking them to the underside of a desk or something.

[@anthonypc1]

I have a ceiling fan (that I don't need) so I used the blades to clamp on cheap work lights, and I can reach up to turn the fan around to direct the lights. (my studio is my bedroom...)

Love you! I'm from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and you're one of my favorite artist!

[@sderb2562]

When did you consider yourself as an artist? I used to draw as a child but stopped when I was about 10...during the pandemic I picked up some paper and pencils and started drawing. Coming back to it as an adult was really surprising and I was amazed at myself for the quality of work I produced. So I have nurtured this new found talent over the last year or so and discovered your videos along the way which inspired me to continue. I started toying with the idea of renting a small space to push my creative boundaries and to have a studio to take my own reference images in and attempt bigger pictures. I just got the keys 2 days ago to a perfect little place and its so exciting...yet so daunting at the same time! I convinced myself to go for it and I know its the right thing to do... but still have that lack of confidence in myself that makes me question it regardless of any support from friends and family etc. I cant wait to enjoy the space, as I felt so distracted at home with interruptions and restricted in what I could try. This video and the information you give, is great for helping with the setup and the things to consider for making a practical studio. Many thanks as always Jono👍

[@JonoDry]

All the best with your new studio venture! and big congratulations! 🙌
