Pencil drawing time lapse - 'In My Silence' by Jono Dry

A time lapse from the studio.
'In My Silence' is a surreal, photorealistic pencil drawing. It took eight weeks to complete.
This drawing was such a pleasure to work on; it seemed to flow so easily. We are told to constantly push ourselves, that discomfort is good, that it promotes growth. While this is true, it also creates the idea that when we are comfortable, we become stagnant. This drawing reminded me that it’s okay to seek comfort, to enjoy the process, and to return to the familiar.

[@Transform679]

@Sweetpea 😂😂 Its because The Topic is Called "Pencil Drawing Time Lapse". Hes not teaching is he? Hes showing the world what hes good at. His own twist to Art using different pencils, shadings and his own technique which makes it even more UNIQUE.

How come you are so underated when you spend most of your time doing one big project. Your drawing style is the most realistical.

[@wilmervalles1509]

"it’s okay to seek comfort" - Right! Art should be fun and satisfying. I get so discourage because the struggle is real. It's exhausting to try to create a "good" piece of art but stumble all the way through. You, my friend inspire me! Thanks

The best artist i ve ever seen in youtube. I can watch your whole video without skipping a single second and one thing i dont like about this video is it ends.

[@AuroraRealm93]

Its addictive isnt it? To be able to time travel while sitting still. Getting lost in another world. Another dymention. Sitting down at 6am and dont look up until 9pm. Forgetting to eat, forgetting that the rest of the world exists around you. This is the power and peace of an artist. It's why I love to draw and paint. Watching you was beautiful.

[@dawingiedalingy]

I’m moved in a way I can’t exactly put into words. Watching this felt like falling in love and healing at the same time. Thank you for sharing this with the world. It definitely came into my life right when I needed it.

[@christiaanjansen6084]

Simply put you are the reason a started drawing. You saved my life. Thank God.

[@samuelponce2002]

I usually listen to music while I work, but there's just something so relaxing about the way a pencil scratches a surface. The rainstorm in the background made this video all the better audibly too. great work!

[@SekyoT]

It amazes me how artists can visualize what they wanna draw and contruct it so perfectly i could never do that at all

"This drawing reminded me that it’s okay to seek comfort, to enjoy the process, and to return to the familiar." I believe I would like to use this as my mantra and my muse for a short bit if I may. To your credit of course.

[@ahmedadam7474]

I really love that you use natural sunlight to see the paper instead of artificial light. Idk it's just more soothing and soft to the eye but at the same time can show as much detail
