In this video I take you through my most recent drawing 'Solitude' from start to finish. I break down the process step for step and explain the different tools and techniques I used along the way. I found it really interesting to go back and find words to describe the different stages and I'm hoping to make more videos like this soon. This might help anyone looking for how to get realistic skin textures or improve pencil shading techniques. Hopefully this timelapse will be useful for anyone looking to pursue a career in art or even just to get started with hyper-realistic pencil drawings. Can't wait to hear what you think!

Hey Jono, by ‘graphite and a solvent’ what solvent do you use, I’ve really been trying to get a thick, black background for my pieces. I work in a well ventilated studio so don’t worry 😂

[@sambos2212]

He mentioned turpentine in the video so maybe that’s it?

[@JonoDry]

I use good old Turpentine - plenty of ventilation required 🙏

[@kingsolomon_fitness]

@@JonoDry so you just mix the graphite powder you sand down with turpentine and apply it right after?

Hey, Franciss. It's really tough and I've struggled with this in the past too. My best advice would be to make sure to take care with the lighting when you photograph your work.

Hi, Jono! :) My biggest question is how you solve the problem om the "artist hunch"! When I draw, I always lean forward and end up hurting my back. How do you solve that when standing over the table?

I commented on your last video regarding your eraser and i think you mentioned needing to sharpen it for finer details on the rhino horn. The tihoo eraser i mentioned has a much smaller eraser option than a lot of others i have used so it might be helpful.

Always enjoy watching your videos. May I suggest taking sublingual tablets of Vitamin B12 ( methylcobalamin ) while you are working with turps. May help with some of the problems you have had with headaches and exposure to solvents.

[@robertbutler2339]

Hi Jonjo Amazing stuff! Luv it! I luv drawing in graphite but am constantly bombarded by people talking about the shine effect as opposed to charcoal! Whats your view on this! Bob

[@miblvd431]

I was surprised when you said turpentine lol! I had a 60 hour paint fest in my small kitchen and instead of an evening it ended up being 3 days, I was totally poisoned and went 80 miles to London to have my USA passport renewed, I was so disoriented but when the photos came I ran to the passport office and passed the photos over without looking at them, the desk clerk looked at me by which time I know I looked crazy. 3 weeks later the passport turned up and when I opened it, I saw my face was orange all around the hair line and cheeks with a look of infected angry unatural vibrant pink on my nose, lips and eyes😳🥵! I thought low odour meant no odour toxicity..........😬

[@PRINCEWISDOMARTTV]

Can you help people like us by also posted some videos here too ??we will really be greatfull sir ??

[@christophersparkes7942]

Hi Jono, how do you manage to pull out such clear white marks/lines from the heavy graphite you've already layed down? I also use Archers 300 hot press and a good electric eraser which I 'sharpen', but I just cannot pull out the white of the paper like you do! Am I missing something?? Thanks for your videos!

[@joemoya9743]

Turpentine? Rather aggressive way to achieve dark and smooth graphite compared to what I have used for over 30 yrs. - graphite lubricant.

[@Nimral_0fiicial]

you have great job jono..and specialy yous all drawing inspire me.

Why don't you use acrylic black paint for background
