Many people ask if I draw from references - In this video, I unpack how I work with reference photographs, why failure has its uses, and how the process influences the final image. I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look into my studio and practice.

I could listen to this man talk for hours
Ruchika Rao His voice & demeanour are as beautiful as his works. Bedtime story heaven! 😁
Jesus santana Eugenia pffft 😂
I almost fell asleep
Ruchika Rao Same
Exactly
Well this is very bothersome to admit: Your "reference photos" look like amazing photo art that could stand on its own.
Johannes Labusch My thoughts exactly! I’m not sure he truly realises how talented he is!
I agree completely. Beautiful photography!
Lo que es molesto es porque le pone siempre esos horribles cachos nese qué quiere espresar con eso
I'm not sure how to comment, accept to say that I drew a lot when I was much younger and gave it up for other avenues of expressions. I'm almost sixty, and seeing your work has inspired me to pick up my pencils, and have fun with form and lite. Thank you for your magnificent work.
Same here! I have been able to return to the art that I love so much because of artists like him. His work really touches my heart and makes me want to be an artist again. And every single piece he’s done I have loved.
😍😍😍😙🙏
you are definitely one of my favourite artists.
Same 😘😘
i love every piece you have... the darkness makes it more beautiful, I am a struggling artist, and still finding my own style.
Keep it up 🙏💥
Wow Jono, I had no idea the amount of time and effort you put into preparation for a piece! This just makes me appreciate your work even more! Truly a professional artist.
MIND BLOWN!! people literally need to appreciate your masterpieces .Your artworks are like ray of hope for amateur young artists .keep going!!
As a creative myself, I genuinely cannot express how breathtaking it is to actually find a true artist that exists in contemporary times. I am saddened that I have been deprived of both you and your work until now.
O Nicely put! I align with that 👍
"True artist".?
Stinky Nate I think he means someone that draws realisti stuff. Their arent a lot who do that anymore. But myself find realistic stuff boring.
Stinky Nate composition, technique and ability. This man has it all. 😊🇨🇦
@@cringeweebooo60 -YOU find it boring - fair enough, as long as it is you. I for example find the majority of Pollock, Rotkho, Picasso, Mondrian, Newman, Matisse type of art to be extremely boring, unengaging, stripped of skill and just unimportant, regardless of their supposed "originality" and "boldness".
This is so amazing. The fact that you go out of your way to get exactly the image you want is super inspiring. Keep them coming! Would love to see more videos like this and your style developing further.
I love these videos. I'm learning so much from them to improve my own art. You asked, in previous videos I think, what other videos we would enjoy.
1. I would love to see how you map out the large line and shape drawing on your paper before you shade and add detail.
2. How to take a water splash reference photo. What shutter speed etc How you make selfies.
3. How you finish, fix and hang such large works
4. How you keep your paper clean as you work
5. How to transport large work
And so many more but these 5 for now. Thank you for sharing. Sheila
Hi Sheila! Thank you for posting these questions. I've added them to the list of topics for upcoming videos. All the best, Jono
@@JonoDry Thank you Jono. I'm enjoying your content and art.
Hey I'm from india 🤩🤗🇮🇳
Love your arts
Love listening to you speak about your art process Jono, you have a very calming voice. I wouldn't mind listening to art audio book tutorials from you. Keep up the great work and in sharing your knowledge. Cheers.
Same
I could just cry listening to you talk about your work. I don't know why....
To me your best works are "Handle", "Autumn", "In Its Grip" and the best one is definitely "Pupil".
Photographer: *takes a picture*
Jono: *drawing*
Photographer: "Am I a joke to you?"
The idea of drawing or painting originally was to reproduce visually the world around them and that and artist can scale up these 'photos' still makes the art form of drawing and painting simply for reproduction (and often as is the case here, more) very valid.
@@TheCompleteGuitarist No, drawing as a source of collage, using photos, is lame. Collage has already been done with photos. Why then go the long way around and do it with drawing? You're just slapping images together and redrawing. Where's the creativity in that?
@@JJ-dc3jz
Drawing is about the end product. NOT the process.
Most people who might buy your art work don't give a shit how you made it as long as it looks impressive on their wall,
If you think Vermeer and David and Ingres and Raphael and any of the renaissance artists did not use optical devices to aid them in the production of their art work then you are misguided.
People commissioning wanted an end product, they didn't care what route you took.
Ultimately that is what is creative. How well you convey your creative message, not how you actually made it.
@@JJ-dc3jz tell da vinci and michelangelo that its lame that their drawings and paintings are based on a copy of what they see. no matter if its a photo or a model sitting in front of you - filling an empty canvas or piece of paper based on whatever you see by using a pencil is kind of art, wouldnt you agree? if its so lame, please do it.
@@salbut1
You don't understand what you're talking about.
There were no cameras around then!!! You cannot compare DaVinci & Michelangelo's work process to the modern Artist using a camera as an aid.
You only had your eyes in DaVinci & Michelangelo's time to replicate how people look....there were no cameras to catch a person's likeness to work from.
THAT MEANS THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY TO COPY A PERSON'S LIKENESS....which was via a direct EYE TO ARTISAN HANDS-ON method....i.e: drawing/painting/sculpture.
Cameras first came along for sale around 1888. DaVinci lived between 1452-1519 & Michelangelo 1475-1564.
With a Photograph.... the image can be taken at 3pm in direct sunlight, out in the open, and yet still, you can be copying that photo at 3am in your dark studio with wind and rain outside.
In DaVinci & Michelangelo's time you didn't have the benefit of a Model in the exact pose you wanted at your fingertips 24/7.
In DaVinci & Michelangelo's you couldn't capture and freeze motion like you can with a camera. You had to guess what motion looked like only using your eyes...which wasn't the best detector of motion and freezing it.
It wasn't until 1877, that Eadweard Muybridge took a series of photos PROVING that Horses DO Gallop with all four feet in the air at times, something DaVinci and Michelangelo would have no idea was true because prior to that, Artists displayed Horses with at least one foot on the ground at all times because they thought the horse would fall if that at any time the horse had all four feet in the air.
So in the modern era, taking a picture/photograph and having it sit in your Studio while you copy it, is completely different and gives today's artist a huge advantage over DaVinci and Michelangelo, who never had that luxury.
But to now take a photograph or photographs, splice them together and recreate the images together PHOTOREALISTICALLY is crazy. The camera already does that. No need for humans to then try to go backwards and BECOME a camera.
But what a Camera CANNOT do, is have a message, an opinion, a painterly style, a drawing style that shows a human did this with feelings, hopes and dreams, and not a machine.
And that is Real Art. Created by humans, with a humane touch. Giving us an insight into the lives of the Artist, how they lived, what they felt, what they believed in.
We can all sit there for the rest of our lives working on our drawing technique until we could all photorealistically capture any object...but what does that say about OUR time on Earth.
Absolutely nothing. That's the job of Camera. To make cold, hard copies of the world.
I got really "art" mood while watching your videos. So calm, cosy, balanced, no colors needed. Feel like I can smell the graphite just by looking at your drawings. I "feel" art much more here than from any other artist I´ve seen in the last... long time
Great video again Jono, thank you, and congratulations on your beautiful drawings!
Thanks Jono ..I'm so terrified of every art piece I do until the excitement sets in then the challenge. Im very thankful for your sharing I love your work ❤️
I wish that I could find your channel before few years cuz maybe I would improve my art work better and more by watching and listening to you
Now I'm 17old girl from India
Love from India for you 😊
Your impaired me in art
Seeing your work has got me drawing again to.. Thank you for that blessing!
creativity+patience+connection between mind and hand=hyperrealism😎.you inspire me always😃
LOVE this segment! Thank you for sharing! I literally could feel the energy of the pose when the model was wrapped up and felt that release just exactly as you described. When an image evokes a sense of emotion...that is the moment that is is right! ❤️
Thanks for sharing your own experience with us ! I wanna sketch like you 😇
You've just helped me push through and have me the inspiration to finish a project I've put so many hours in, your work is amazing and your channel has so much potential, as a fellow South African and Cape-Tonian keep up thus amazing quality of videos and art
Thank you so much Jono for sharing your inner process, very helpful and inspiring! And yes your manner of speaking makes it easy to watch , you sound refined and educated in a most humble way
You are extremely positive and caring. Thanks for these videos !
Great advice! Thank you for taking the time to describe your design process.
EXACTLY the video I NEEDED! Would love more like this if you’ve any other thoughts too share or elaborate on previous ones. No thought or idea you think of sharing would be too ‘small’. Just the ‘ basic’ ideas as you thought they were and are in fact things we already knew , as you said, but they way you speak or something just hit different for me coming from you. 🩷😀
To me, the efforts you put into your compositions are appreciated and clearly show in the most unique and exquisite Art that you create. I love your work. Thank you for sharing them.
"Letting the process guide you" is and should be the mantra for both new and seasoned artist. I know I can become obsessed with outcomes but the creation process is so grounding because it is a process, and the end result is the cherry not the cake. This video is very inspiring, thanks for taking the time to create this amazing content.
Wow! Your work is amazing! And I just love how you break down your process.
I just found your channel and after watching a few videos I know im going to be following your story for years to come.
Truly inspirational
wow, Jono, as someone learning, and solo, I SO appreciate your sharing. And your gorgeous work!
I LURVE your videos sooo much. You express such an intriging and insightful point of view about your concepts and processes. Totally stimulating...I hang on your every word. The fact that you're a phenomenal Artist, both photographic and pencil, being the reason why I stop to listen in the first place, but then you add so much more to your artistry with your explanations. Thanks so much for all that you share!!
I'm at the point where I'm pressing like on Jono's videos before they even start....
Your work, you and your voice is dreamlike, hypnotic and an inspiration all on its own. Thanks for sharing your vision and process but most of all for igniting the freedom that artistic dreams for everyone out there who dreams about creating art.
Thank you for the idea Jono.
I'm an airbrush artist but watching your videos I'm itching to give these pencil and graphite drawings a go , ordering the materials now fingers crossed your artwork and videos are fabulous
Amazing and so sooth, love your work and I'm amazed by you
Brilliant idea!!!😄😇💖
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with the world.
Thank you so much for putting this together for us! Very eye opening and inspiring!
I love your artworks ....seriously that bold and dark black colour gives more life to your drawings
I wish I could have found your channel during my high school yrs. I had a hard and difficult time in my Drawing classes, I was so scared to take the class in my second year that I pushed it to my third year and took Drawing 2 while my fellow seniors took Drawing 3 our senior year. You made it important to feel uncomfortable and making mistakes, which is a very big step in Drawing or any profession in that matter. Thank you so much for your insight!
Your advice is incredibly valuable, Thank you for creating these videos!
dude not just an artist
he is also a good photographer
Your work is simply amazing Jono!
I just can't imagine how wonderful it would be to have something as mesmerising and precious as one of your pictures on my walls. Your talent is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
This video was wonderful. I agree so much with what you said in terms of allowing the process to determine the artwork. And of course how challenging the planning process is. Thanks for sharing♡
I watch many videos about hyper realism drawing but I can say that you are the best and you are my favorite, honestly I love your works. I know I'm not good like you but I can do what ever it takes so I'm become better artist soon.
Thank you for your lovely kind thoughts. It’s very inspirational. You are fantastic❤️
Jono ...just WOW your work is amazing 👏👏👏
I liked your drawing 'Return' very much. I often see that video on youtube.
Your whole work ethic and dedication is an complete inspiration, we can all learn a lot from this. Not just endless working but intelligent assessment and opening of new creative channels and possibilities
This video is amazing Jono and very inspiring too!! I love your creativity. I'm actually inspired to keep pushing until I find my artistic voice. Keep up the good work. 🇿🇦💜✨ Hope to see you in Bloem or Eastern Cape someday!!
Thanks for that! Always so exciting to see the process behind the art!
Wonderful explanation of the process. I use very few references except my own observations, or remembrances of past drawings, for most of my work. I enjoy the struggle and internal test to remember the minute details and the subtle changes in form and textures, and building them as I "see them" as opposed to exactly how they may be in reality. Maybe I am simply trying to up my observation-game and collect data as a visual. Like many, I have a near-photographic memory, and a keen sense of recall, so my challenge is allowing it all to come together and appear on the paper.
Nice one Jono. Great advise as always.
You are my fav artist on youtube, your work is unbelievable
Apart from art, you serve us great dishes..! Keep them coming!
I am a first year student of Architecture and you really make me overcome hard times while drawing. Especially when I hear you say that you have a lot of doubts and that you sometimes feel stuck, it really makes me believe that I am not alone in this. Big thanks to you my friend, I hope you will never stop drawing becasue you are one of the greatest artists I've ever encountered. Lots of love from Poland! :D
Thankyou so much for sharing about your working style and making of wounderful composition
How dreamy your voice is .... How peaceful , slow, steady... This shows the artwork connections❤️
Thanks for sharing...
Great work
When I discovered your channel this was EXACTLY the thing that I wanted to see! Loved your work
Really love your insight, thank you.
This advice comes to me at the perfect time. I struggle with getting half way through a project then losing focus, then enthusiasm. Too many half way or 1/4 way done works go into "pause" mode. You've given me a challenge, to go back and try to regain the original inspiration and see through the block to see what is there now. Thank you
Watching your videos I tried graphite portrait in bigger scale . You are my inspiration . ( Saying this for first time ever ! Literally !) Thank you for sharing .
Wow Amazing idea
Thank you for uploading your videos and it helps me a lot. You thought me many things,you thought me how to be better at drawing and I learn many tips and techniques.
May God bless you!! ❤️❤️❤️
You are so genius. Thanks for your genius thoughts.
Thanks Jono, very inspiring.
Your drawings are undeniably fantastic! Another inspiration to continue my art journey. New subscriber here from the Philippines!!
This is insanely creative
Amazing. I thought I had seen all your videos, but this is the most helpful yet!
One of my favourite artist
THANKS FOR sharing your knowledge to All
🙏🏻❤👍🏻
You are amazing. Learning so much from you! Thank you and Squarespace! I hope they realise how beautiful you are!~
First of all thank you so much for all these insights to your amazing world. 2012 I almost died from an infection in the brain that left me without a pituitary gland. It is next to impossible for me to feel exited about anything seeing that the pituitary controls so many chemicals in the body. The only thing that gives me hope is drawing so when I hear about you talk about planning and feeling so up about a new idea I totally get it. I am nowhere in any form to compare what you do with mine , nor do I think anyone can but I think at any level we can feel the hope and possibilities of creating something new. I cant thank you enough because in a way the excitement that you give off I pick up and it helps me face the day which would be full of pain a d feeling sick with new and renewed hope and wonder.
excellent video and information i got so much from this , been a fan of yours for ages and have learnt a lot appreciate the videos you put up . but ive still a long way to go . thankyou
Every time I watch your TH-cam Video, I always learn something, Thank You so much for the videos.
I can feel that you are really nice person. And an amazing artist
Jono dry , his studio, his artworks everything is totally amazing
You inspire me ❤️
Much needed video !!! Thanks Jono
amazing drawing! Awesome video!
You are so inspiring all these kilometers away.
Thank you so much! I love watching you work but these "behind the scenes" videos are real gems. You are an amazing artist and from these little glimpses I think an amazing person too. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your life and work with us mere mortals. Oh and your voice... 💜
Great teacher!
So much of what Jono says it just as applicable to writing and making art in other mediums as it is to drawing.
This video is very useful for me...thank you sir...your every creation just awesome..
Amazing sir! Love your artworks
Love, love, love your work. It's brilliant and your generosity is above and beyond generous. Thank you, you are a special young man. I am Nanny Gayle and I hope I still have enough time to learn even a few of your amazing techniques.
This is such valuable info. Jono, you are an absolute master, thank you for your INCREDIBLE content, it’s absolutely impeccable 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Lovely photos too
you're a genus Jono!
Love your artwork brotha! I’ve been a photographer for over ten years who’s trying to learn to draw now. I agree 100% with what you mentioned about the natural movements between poses being the best shots. I always chose to have models move more freely & sometimes people would mock the idea by everyone always loved the results because it captures unique moments, emotions & expressions that you wouldn’t get if you were carefully only taking precisely posed shots one at a time. I’d take hundreds, sometimes thousands of photos in a shoot & only use a few. (Much easier with no flash in natural lighting)
Thanks so much your videos are always very helpful,
We would love to hear you explain
1) The key points in lighting for photography
2) How to transfer proportions to such a large paper
3) Why don't you use black acrylic for background, it doesn't shine,
4) Know the feeling when you are tired of the particular drawing, and just want to start a new one?
Noted! Will try answer these questions in further tutorials.
thank you man, you are literally the best!
Thankyou Jono...great explanatory video ❤️
hello. love your work. i've been waiting for this kind of video from you. thank you
I love your work, it is so amazing congratulations
