Waiting On Stone: Pencil Drawing Process

[@LukeGottliebArt]

Amazing as usual. I came here for the art, and have stayed for that same art. It's amazing how you have stayed a true artist, rather than becoming a youtuber first, who does art. I'm trying to mimic that more than anything else in your work

[@g911onzo1]

I 100% agree with@LukeGottliebArt. I’ve been watching your videos and truly appreciate your realness and devotion to your craft. It’s so annoying people wanting to be KZbin famous and forget their foundation. You are a true craftsman and an amazing Artist. Don’t ever change.

The texture on those stones is something else 🥶

Nice macro work, and loved the shots while you were working in part shadow. I see what you did there.

[@bruceh3905]

A Labor of Love; outstanding…!

[@borisdorofeev5602]

These are always beautiful, and not just the painting. The entire process is cinematic, the way you wash the medium, the shots of the different tools, everyone involved is extremely talented. I don't want to even imagine how many hours of hard work and practice went in to becoming this good. I also really admire your choice in graphite to create these gorgeous pieces of art. The dark backgrounds embracing the subject in shadows like blankets. Even nude the model doesn't look cold or uncomfortable. It's quite the opposite, the subjects are always in a state of serenity, comfort or bliss. The subjects always like they are almost about to go to sleep after exhausting yet rewarding work, make love, are pleasantly high on ecstasy, or are remembering the comfort of being a baby. All of this, while the white starts to pop out, the brightness is brilliant, the subject looks like they can fall out of the portrait. Oils are what people usually think of when they hear of a portrait which looks like a photograph, and- I imagine -it is what buyers typically desire. However, your choice in paper and graphite, and the process you go through to wash, lift the graphite erasing, creating various ranges of shadow, and the almost luminous white. I can't praise this enough.

... absolutely breathtaking!

[@HeinDeJager]

I can see you disappear into that rabbit hole of detail. :) It’s such a relaxing feeling watching you work. ASMR. 😂 I never realised one can add and subtract graphite that many times until I saw your videos. Thank you for sharing your process with us.

[@Polkadotpup]

I love your work….and you must see really well!

[@samuel-lungu]

This is beautiful art ❤ Love it.

[@kowshikowsikows8017]

I'm feel it 😔

[@K.Czarnecki]

I'm always impressed by your works and also the effort you put into making them. You are one of the first artists I saw when I was starting drawing and making art in general ( over 2 years ago) and you're still a huge inspiration for me so thank you ❤

[@gourabmondal9760]

Love from India ❤️‍🔥

[@rassteyn3547]

Levitation, solid, fluid, fracturing - you give it all such angelic panache. But also a Romanticist presence. And much more. LOVE IT *****

[@JonoDry]

Thanks! The planning for this one took longer than the drawing 😂

[@rassteyn3547]

The surgical precision is mind-bending. Staring at it makes me feel unbroken.

[@Just_Start_Drawing]

Really enjoy watching your videos. Could you do a video about finding a studio space and getting people to help /model for you? I hope to set up a studio of my own some day but I don't know where to begin.

[@herianart]

My favorit technique I like your skill brother 🙏 3:55

[@hopalstudiosjuliehattis]

That had to be so uncomfortable posing like that for the pic. Awesome pic, beautiful work ❤😊

[@CoryStierley]

@jonodry What is that double ended colored pencil you're using(I'm assuming it's for highlights)? Per usual, PHENOMENAL work!!!

[@vishalkumar_art]

May I ask you how you are able to imagine such amazing sights?❤❤😮😮

[@JonoDry]

The previous video I made was about the planning process, hopefully that helps explain it a bit :)

[@TheLifeBattle]

I noticed you’re not using your soft box lights anymore - is there a reason you switched to those lamps?

[@CatDuckChu]

i aim to be this good some day

[@annalisaclarke]

Your artwork and process is incredibly inspirational. You have such dedication and discipline, these are aspects I need to work on. I'm curious if you are familiar with an artist called Laurie Lipton? I have enjoyed your videos for some time now and each time is just as amazing as the last. I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your artistic wisdom! 😊 wishing you happy holidays.

[@marcelliott1111]

What is the best paper to put up with the wear and tear when using the different kinds of erasers? I'm using a hand vac to rid my work of excess graphite, do you know a better way (its killing the filters). I'd like to see how your work translates to animal hair, fur. I am attempting it now, with limited success, so far🥴. Your work is amazing by the way👍

[@SgWAVEMAN]

How can i get lesson from you man,i need your guidance on this art journey 🔥🔥😭honestly love your work

[@metavoox8099]

How do you feel about full charcoal drawings ?

[@skymax1507]

❤

[@kyleclark-lx4rc]

Where do I go to figure out what materials you use

[@rayowen6670]

Like the machine you used to sharpened the pencil with what is it

[@JonoDry]

I’m so happy i stumbled upon that grinder, it’s the best for sharpening really long pencils

[@michaelharris8613]

Is this from imagination?

[@lloydbradly]

I tried emailing this guy to work with him and all i got was his rep saying keep at the artwork but Jona isnt available

[@bidurkhanal1760]

Working hours?

[@oskarkongsgaardsloth5450]
