That is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I used to draw realistic animals so I know what you were talking about and just wow I can’t imagine the work that went into that, it’s beautiful. I’m happy it got you a lot of recognition because you sure do deserve it. It can be really frustrating being an artist.
@@annonymous3632 Someone did indeed eat it (I think they ate it while it was still duct taped to the wall though with their face pressed up against the board that it was taped to, lol), but it did definitely sell before that. The man who ate it was another artist and it was all part of the act (of utterly talentless clowns).
Because the people with this ability are few and far between. He is an artist. People like him are artists. There might be, maybe 500 of them at a time in the world. If we were honest about what at is and who artists are imagine how crushed the wannabes would be. Imagine how defeated the American CIA would feel after spending billions to convince people splashing paint on a canvas is art would be.
because hyperrealism with a surreal twist is boring, pure show, no content, technical stuff, but the good stuff is somewhere else, let me give you the example of Baldomero Romero Ressendi, googla that shit, das the gud shit
@@Dawn24Michele You don't seem to understand the concept of art, there are many different types of art/artists. Just because you don't appreciate a particular style doesn't mean it's not art & there is most certainly a LOT more than 500 hyper realism artists in the world at a time. Don't get mad that other forms of art are also appreciated highly, just respect the arts or move along. Why make shit up just to be a negative wank stain?
@@shakma_X I love hyperrealism. There are so many complicadet drawing techniques involved, that it always blow my mind, when I see a drawing like that. With mordern art, I don't know it feels like that a child done that.
Laser Animations you can’t hold yourself to the same level as someone who has this much experience, you’re talented no matter how good others are. That’s like saying if you can only juggle 5 balls, but the world record holder can do 10 or 12 easily, then you’re bad, but you’re not, 5 balls is amazing, barley anyone can do that! So what you can’t be as good as him yet, you’re talented, and maybe one day, you’ll reach the 12 balls.
This is the art that millionaire's should pay millions for... a draw that is truly beautiful and was made with dedication and hard work not some splash on a white board
There are levels of work and then there seems to be a portal some artists take to a whole new set of levels this exists outside all of those levels. It's so beautiful it's almost soul-crushing. Love it
I love that this drawing has so many layers to it. You have the stunning hyper realistic image it portrays, the meaning it carries (which most probably varies from person to person), the incredible amount of work it took, and the immense emotional and mental toll it took to make this. Your patience is admirable, if I had to stare at my own art for any more than a few days I’d go crazy, and I make geometric shit that isn’t even that artsy, not realistic stuff. Congratulations for making such an eye catching piece (sorry for the word play), with such an enormous input that you can see not only from the precision, but also just the general feel of it. It is unimaginably beautiful, I applaud you for your skill and care in all the art I’ve seen by you, especially this one.
When you spent so much time talking about the negatives, and then ended with, "go for it". Even though it was hard, it was meaningful. Gives me the motivation to start something new and big
It's a super common genre and actually in concept is a lot easier in my opinion than say something like professional level illustration. The only thing is the time it requires. It's not nearly as hard to more or less copy some things you see than it is to invent things you haven't seen.
According to him he did some SMALL WORKS on the side while drawing this.. I can't even think of making those small works that he did even if I tried for a life time .
Thank you so much for this video! I made a huge charcoal drawing 2 years ago, realistic (not hyperrealistic like yours), but still - it took me so long. Drawing like this just feels like work, your eyes are swollen at the end of the day and you move in between centimeters all the time. After couple of hours, the progress is not in relation and you think : goood this is will be a long long run. I can totally relate to that feeling and the result is rewarding! It's definitely an incredible drawing!
Bad mango Its so annoying sometimes. Cause’ even when i draw this happens. Its a curse haha. But its crazy, artists are very self destructive. So anyone can be one.
What ticks me off is that there was a person who duck taped a banana to a wall and sold it for 12 grand. And there are people like this who work their ass off to create this beautiful art work and are under rated.
Nice. Time does not equals money. Creativity equals money in the art world. Thousands of artists today do this photorealistic style. From an analytical perspective this piece is very boring.
Ive never seen anyone who can draw the cell structures and membrane vessels like this. Its is like drawing textures in an atomic level that is really incredible.

It literally breaks my heart when an artist go through the pain of not being appreciated for works they put more than 💯 in. You will do great buddy just be +ve and I love your work.
There are thousands of people who work hard and are unappreciated. Artists are the last people on the list you should have sympathy for. Considering people pay 100 million for a blank canvas or a single color....... What this guy does is real art but he knows what he's getting himself into.
@@Tony-nl6pf usually people don't just get billions of dollars for art, that's just on rare occasions. Art is something people do, it's what they love (most of the time I suppose). Not many people do it as a career though, as it doesn't pay well. Art is something people love, so i don't think any artist would really care if they got payed or not, because they enjoyed creating what they made.
i looked at the thumbnail and i was like "heheh nice photgra- *reads title* WAIT WHATTTT???!!!" im 13 and im getting into sketching and drawing and i did an eye recently that looked mildly acceptable, so your inhumane skill at drawing is incredible inspiration. keep doing this and i can bet you'll grow bigger and bigger and i wish you good luck :)
I love seeing artists putting all their time and keeping all their priorities aside, for the art they are working on... Artists like you are legend, in the era of abstractionism; artists like you are spending like years on a work... Most of cases, it don’t pay off.. sadly.. But the satisfaction and the inner stream of happiness flowing inside is way too much precious than the financial profit of the painting.. Once the work is done.. hanged.. and you look at it.. reminiscing all the moments and the stories, goods- bads going on that time; when the final magic was in process... you know, how heavenly it feels. So much motivating and inspiring seeing great artists like you, putting your everything in a single work... 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Hats off!! Regards, Liam.
I mean yeah, I remember doing that a lot in middle school lol, but I just don’t want this to happen again in the comments. Thought it has been like a month or so, so I think we are fine lol
It was not a tearable idea Jono... It was an amazing masterpiece. If I could, I would put a piece of your work on my wall any day. I feel blessed to have seen your art. Never stop creating.
Jono, you succeed in zooming in closer than a magnifying glass for your detail, and the result is absolutely poetic. I have never seen anything more intriguing.
Nurpo, nurpo Hahahahahahah Nurpo, nurpo Lalalalalalalalal He eats the coins you drop between the cushions of your couch He converts them into dopamine from inside of his mouth He says amazing things but only whispers to the deaf He talks about what adults cant remember and children havent the words to describe
Yes, i understand. Good to know, because of your story of persistent going on even if the circumstances make it impossible. Is not only for artist good to hear!
Hi Jono, Im in SA and you are my role model. I use charcoal and Im so obsessed with the detail in your drawings. Never stop and keep pushing. You inspire so many people and teach me so much! When it comes to my artwork, I never stop looking at yours for motivation.
Hey im from germany me and my family are watching all your videos and we think you're a very very special artist. Keep up your work its really great. Sorry if my language wasnt right. :)
Also not as easy as that. Skill =|= art. It's more abstract than that. Tolstoi had a really good starting point when it comes to the definition of "art". Although I agree, the art world is a joke, its just pretending to be in on a joke that doesnt even exist or as Matthew put it: money laundering.
I am an artist and that's common comment by ignorant people who dont understand ART.Sure a child maybe able to copy Mark Rothko but what he did was revolutionary in terms of ART.Same can be said all late Picasso Art when he basically painted like a child but he was still Picasso.There is evolutionary aspect about ART.What this artist did sadly is nothing innovative.There are dozens and dozens of Artists doing super realism and that gets old as well.Copying from a photo is pointless....when the end result is same as photo!!
@@rubo1964 Theres a reason after all that portraits began to fall off once we had the first camera. I think it's important to try and find the middle ground. I get that people think certain art pieces are easy to make or silly and others that think its an ignorant position to hold because of xyc. I think its too easy to just see it in black/white. The readymade art of Duchamp is a good example. You could argue that its either just lazy and uncreative or you could say that it challenged the way we look at art and made maybe millions of people think about what it really is that makes it "art". I personally dont have that answered for me quite yet. We can all agree on the fact that those "dentist paintings" that are mostly abstract acryl or oil paintings are definitely not as easy to make as the majority of people say.
I realy want to thank you, because there’s a long time that I don’t draw, and you made me feel confident about it again. If you see it, thank you so much.
This is quite simply the most prominent evidence of how an artists hand drawing could become much more detailed than a mere photograph. You can see that straight away from the thumbnail pic of this video. It's inspiring because of how we maybe able to as artists visually enhance the surface matter of any given image regardless of what it maybe. Intense. Inspirational. Thank you for this gift.
I'm working on a drawing from a picture I took of my dogs eye with the reflection of my other dog in it. I lost them both and while challenging for me emotionally I hope by the end to find it cathartic in helping me make peace with my grief. People don't understand how much of ourselves we truly put into our work, they are literally reflections of our souls. Don't let ANYONE that's incapable of doing what you do tell you how to do it! You will ALWAYS find success in staying true to yourself! This piece and your story behind it has inspired me even more to see it thru, thank you 🙏💚
This is what hyper realism is when I start a drawing I just feel to leave it when it's not good but this taught me atleast to finish the drawing and no matter however the results are just take risk and hope it will turn great 😀 thank you 😊
When I was a kid, I started out drawing eyes. There is something cool about them, and trying to capture their essence and I'm still practicing...thanks for this!
I have a few pieces myself that I had to abandon for one reason or another. For me, knowing whether to come back and finish the piece or move on is answered by that instant gut feeling. I’m glad you finished this one, Jono. ...... I can only imagine the struggles you went through knowing it’s incredible potential
Absolutely amazing!!! I'm also an artist and have been drawing eyes for over 30 years now. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother were artists, so I guess I was born to do this. Extremely impressed with all of your work!!!! Just discovered you last night and am going through your videos now. Mind blowing!!!! Your talent is absolutely phenomenal!!! Looking forward to exploring your work and seeing what you do next!
@@JonoDry You're very welcome! Started following you on Instagram. Absolutely LOVE your work! Hope to see an exhibition by you here in Amsterdam one day!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When you pour so much of yourself into work it is almost priceless because who can pay you for the hours and days and years. even when you are not working on it your mind is musing over it ugh. When you gave how long it took it really hit home thank you sometimes we get into our own world we can not possibly conceive how anyone can relate. Then that small spark happens when someone does. This was therapy for me to start again.
Studio tour before the end of the year? Also, love the story times. They are really inspiring. I think more of your opinions / critics about your work and the works of others would be a great series. Art should spark conversation no?
Me: Haha nice try. You're a photographer we all know. Jono: No, im an artist Me: Dude im smarter than that, that could never be a drawing Jono: Shows me the timelapse Me: Me: Me: Me: Holy
Inspirational level of skill and patience. Without artists like this we wouldn’t be able to understand what can be achieve with practise and determination. Makes me want to be a better artist and find ways to express myself and inspire others. Thank you

You will do great buddy just be +ve and I love your work.
Just say 100
There are thousands of people who work hard and are unappreciated. Artists are the last people on the list you should have sympathy for. Considering people pay 100 million for a blank canvas or a single color....... What this guy does is real art but he knows what he's getting himself into.
Why do you choose to make writing harder than it has to be
@@Tony-nl6pf usually people don't just get billions of dollars for art, that's just on rare occasions. Art is something people do, it's what they love (most of the time I suppose). Not many people do it as a career though, as it doesn't pay well. Art is something people love, so i don't think any artist would really care if they got payed or not, because they enjoyed creating what they made.

Because it feels good.
i looked at the thumbnail and i was like "heheh nice photgra- *reads title* WAIT WHATTTT???!!!"
im 13 and im getting into sketching and drawing and i did an eye recently that looked mildly acceptable, so your inhumane skill at drawing is incredible inspiration. keep doing this and i can bet you'll grow bigger and bigger and i wish you good luck :)
You should start an art channel
You should
WHATS WRONG WITH PEOPLE... WHO WOULD EVER DISLIKE THIS!!!
I love seeing artists putting all their time and keeping all their priorities aside, for the art they are working on...
Artists like you are legend, in the era of abstractionism; artists like you are spending like years on a work...
Most of cases, it don’t pay off.. sadly..
But the satisfaction and the inner stream of happiness flowing inside is way too much precious than the financial profit of the painting..
Once the work is done.. hanged.. and you look at it.. reminiscing all the moments and the stories, goods- bads going on that time; when the final magic was in process... you know, how heavenly it feels.
So much motivating and inspiring seeing great artists like you, putting your everything in a single work...
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Hats off!!
Regards,
Liam.
Please make a vid on how you picture your work....
Plz
whats so bad about abstractionists?
imagine he spills water onto this drawing right when finishes
No.
@@JonoDry haha, well done, its amazing! Hard work paid off!
I did that one time😭 but still got to an art museum
@Ethan Style Videos that kinda got me a little turned on...bug porn.
You guys are weird
I admire your use of Depth of field. Blurring the foreground and blurring the background. You're teaching us so many things. We are grateful!
Me: *sees thumbnail* Oh damn, that's a nice picture.
Me: *looks at title*
Me: 0____0
It's still a picture! 😁
@@noyevlogs4855 ur self promoting but u make good art!
At this point I don't even know if he slapped paint on his eye and slammed his face on the paper
hold up, wait a minute, somethin aint right
😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is actually an artist that paint using her eye splashing colors to canvas, lmao.

That's kinda not how it works 😂
middle school girls: *draws an eye*
this guy: *DRAWS AN EYE*
ugh i am middle school girls
i’m the basic girl who draws eyes on class papers
Jesus there’s always gotta be a sexist joke in a video that then starts the gender war in the comment section
@@hEllOhEllO-ge5en to be fair girls do seem to so this a lot more in middle school
I mean yeah, I remember doing that a lot in middle school lol, but I just don’t want this to happen again in the comments. Thought it has been like a month or so, so I think we are fine lol
@@hEllOhEllO-ge5en yeah I see what u mean... I wouldn't want any prejudice behavior in any comment section.
It was not a tearable idea Jono... It was an amazing masterpiece. If I could, I would put a piece of your work on my wall any day. I feel blessed to have seen your art. Never stop creating.
Jono, you succeed in zooming in closer than a magnifying glass for your detail, and the result is absolutely poetic. I have never seen anything more intriguing.
its a privilege watching your paintings, let alone owning them.
Thank me for watching? No. You will be counted among the legends. I've never seen anything like this, and it's a pleasure to see it now, so thank you!
That dopamine explanation makes so much sense, and also why I’m so tempted to post updates of drawings on IG to get the appreciation
Go for it!
Sameeeeee omg

Hahahahahahah

He eats the coins you drop between the cushions of your couch
He converts them into dopamine from inside of his mouth
He says amazing things but only whispers to the deaf
He talks about what adults cant remember and children havent the words to describe
My first thought was, "photography" then it was "wait he drew this!?" This is without a doubt one of the coolest things I've seen
People draw a line and call it art and get *millions*
Here we see real talent.Bravo
You’re drawing soo perfectly, that even photos couldn’t show us all these details. Man you have a blessed hand, keep on doing what amazes us.
Yes, i understand. Good to know, because of your story of persistent going on even if the circumstances make it impossible. Is not only for artist good to hear!
Jono: Spends almost 2 years on a drawing
Me : Takes a pencil draws a circle with a dot and calls it a day!
School Editz shut the fuck up
@@mondale3456 what is wrong with you. he was making a joke

Mondale dude calm tf down he just made a joke. Fuck off

Hi Jono, Im in SA and you are my role model. I use charcoal and Im so obsessed with the detail in your drawings. Never stop and keep pushing. You inspire so many people and teach me so much! When it comes to my artwork, I never stop looking at yours for motivation.
Mama Mia..
Here we go again
Drawing is part of my life and I am very happy to see your drawing 😇😇
Hey im from germany
me and my family are watching all your videos and we think you're a very very special artist. Keep up your work its really great.
Sorry if my language wasnt right. :)
Grammar doesn't matter bro
Grammar doesn't matter bro
@Sweetpea no, everyone who speaks English aren't as trash as ur or this comments grammar
@@bootyspanker3706 It's funny how your comment is the least legible.
Don't worry. You're English is fine!
This is what I call art. Not the shitty ones selling for millions that can be made by a child.
those ones are just use as an excuse to launder money. no one actually spends real money on art
Also not as easy as that. Skill =|= art. It's more abstract than that. Tolstoi had a really good starting point when it comes to the definition of "art". Although I agree, the art world is a joke, its just pretending to be in on a joke that doesnt even exist or as Matthew put it: money laundering.
@@user-rr5lj8nu3n that's a really shitty opinion but ok I guess u have the right
I am an artist and that's common comment by ignorant people who dont understand ART.Sure a child maybe able to copy Mark Rothko but what he did was revolutionary in terms of ART.Same can be said all late Picasso Art when he basically painted like a child but he was still Picasso.There is evolutionary aspect about ART.What this artist did sadly is nothing innovative.There are dozens and dozens of Artists doing super realism and that gets old as well.Copying from a photo is pointless....when the end result is same as photo!!
@@rubo1964 Theres a reason after all that portraits began to fall off once we had the first camera. I think it's important to try and find the middle ground. I get that people think certain art pieces are easy to make or silly and others that think its an ignorant position to hold because of xyc. I think its too easy to just see it in black/white.
The readymade art of Duchamp is a good example. You could argue that its either just lazy and uncreative or you could say that it challenged the way we look at art and made maybe millions of people think about what it really is that makes it "art".
I personally dont have that answered for me quite yet. We can all agree on the fact that those "dentist paintings" that are mostly abstract acryl or oil paintings are definitely not as easy to make as the majority of people say.
U really showed... That... Passion go with patience... 🙇♀️🙇♀️
I can’t imagine how good you felt after it was done. Worth it in the end
I realy want to thank you, because there’s a long time that I don’t draw, and you made me feel confident about it again. If you see it, thank you so much.
This is quite simply the most prominent evidence of how an artists hand drawing could become much more detailed than a mere photograph. You can see that straight away from the thumbnail pic of this video. It's inspiring because of how we maybe able to as artists visually enhance the surface matter of any given image regardless of what it maybe. Intense. Inspirational. Thank you for this gift.
this looks more like an eye than an actual eye
My eye: I look so real, nothing looks more beautiful than me
Jono: Hold my pencil
How'd he draw it if you *held his pencil*
I'm working on a drawing from a picture I took of my dogs eye with the reflection of my other dog in it. I lost them both and while challenging for me emotionally I hope by the end to find it cathartic in helping me make peace with my grief. People don't understand how much of ourselves we truly put into our work, they are literally reflections of our souls. Don't let ANYONE that's incapable of doing what you do tell you how to do it! You will ALWAYS find success in staying true to yourself! This piece and your story behind it has inspired me even more to see it thru, thank you 🙏💚
When I'm just starting to feel good about my own art skills I watch your videos and see I'm leagues behind. You're an absolute legend mate
I love how authentic, direct and eloquent you speak about your self and your work. All your pieces are so BEAUTIFUL, especially this one!!!
Bravo!🌠
This is what hyper realism is when I start a drawing I just feel to leave it when it's not good but this taught me atleast to finish the drawing and no matter however the results are just take risk and hope it will turn great 😀 thank you 😊
When I was a kid, I started out drawing eyes. There is something cool about them, and trying to capture their essence and I'm still practicing...thanks for this!
That just looks like a real eye very well photo-shopped with the person..
I'm very inspired, I almost gave up drawing but I'm now encouraged thank you. Love the piece.

You are so talented.. you are an incredible artist.. I love your art work ❤️
How can this brilliant channel is not popular. He is worth millions subscribers. He is outstanding❤️
if you disliked this, you don''t even know how to draw a circle.
john?
Idk how to draw a circle and I liked this
Many of us can't draw a circle
Do you?
And you used a speech mark instead of an apostrophe...
This could get a billion views and still be underrated.
I have a few pieces myself that I had to abandon for one reason or another. For me, knowing whether to come back and finish the piece or move on is answered by that instant gut feeling. I’m glad you finished this one, Jono. ...... I can only imagine the struggles you went through knowing it’s incredible potential
Please never stop drawing you are absolutely amazing! I really love your art thank you very much to share it with us.♥️
I hope I don't made any mistakes in the language I'm from Germany 🇩🇪😊

Van Gogh : "I'm the best painter of all time"

@A- k he was not demeaning van gogh but just admiring the jono dry's art...
Absolutely amazing!!! I'm also an artist and have been drawing eyes for over 30 years now. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother were artists, so I guess I was born to do this. Extremely impressed with all of your work!!!! Just discovered you last night and am going through your videos now. Mind blowing!!!! Your talent is absolutely phenomenal!!! Looking forward to exploring your work and seeing what you do next!
Thanks, Alexander! 😊 appreciate your support
@@JonoDry You're very welcome! Started following you on Instagram. Absolutely LOVE your work! Hope to see an exhibition by you here in Amsterdam one day!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Stunning piece of work, beautifully executed and well explained. Your honesty does you proud. Thanks.
You should be very proud of yourself this is an amazing work and I'm a professional artist and I'm saying this is amazing
When you pour so much of yourself into work it is almost priceless because who can pay you for the hours and days and years. even when you are not working on it your mind is musing over it ugh. When you gave how long it took it really hit home thank you sometimes we get into our own world we can not possibly conceive how anyone can relate. Then that small spark happens when someone does. This was therapy for me to start again.
Studio tour before the end of the year?
Also, love the story times. They are really inspiring. I think more of your opinions / critics about your work and the works of others would be a great series. Art should spark conversation no?
Me: Haha nice try. You're a photographer we all know.
Jono: No, im an artist
Me: Dude im smarter than that, that could never be a drawing
Jono: Shows me the timelapse
Me:
Me:

Me: Holy
Some fools are also watching this video 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Inspirational level of skill and patience. Without artists like this we wouldn’t be able to understand what can be achieve with practise and determination. Makes me want to be a better artist and find ways to express myself and inspire others. Thank you
This is the most realistic drawing I've ever seen
