The answer to the biggest 'why?' in your channel, ever.

[HeidiLinlol]

As an artist who often struggles getting into the right mentality when creating pieces, I would love to hear your thought process!! Thank you for doing what you do, your art work is so inspiring!

[dbueno]

I'd like to see you're sketching process, and maybe some art from when you first began drawing

[matthewjarrett]

I haven't leaned into my artwork since my wife fell ill in 2017. With her passing in late 2019, I've still not felt inspired to really embrace it again until I began watching your videos very recently. Now I am very eager to truly apply myself to it once more.
Thank you!

When Jono Dry uploads a video, I'm like: "Who says YouTube doesn't have good quality content?"

[DangerWifeDodd]

Watching you work makes me miss being in art school, when nothing existed but your work and you didn’t have to put pressure on it to pay bills. Thank you for creating so much beauty.

How do you draw the textures of different things so right, like the skin, hair, water, bone, really man they are
And all this only with different shades of
How man???
Please do tell about how you make the textures...

As a graphite artist I've always experimented with paper and research and this is by far the most useful information I've come across for what paper to use . Thanks for sharing !

Incredible to see local talent shine so brightly! Great video man, keep it up.

Aha, now I know...been starting to scale up from A3 to A2/A1 and noticing the impact it has on a finished drawing, but wondered how to scale up from there...so a roll of quality paper is on the wish list. Thank you for taking the time to explain! 🎧✏️

Jono does a great job explaining the process required to produce his art. Learning to draw is one thing, learning the process of making art is another. Thank you for sharing this info!!!

thankyou jono dry for the wise words on paper being key, and yes it is expensive, but because of that it makes me try to do better!

[Bleulacuna]

The mental aspect is absolutely something I'd like to see more of. It's useful and interesting to see how other artists approach thier art and tackle concerns.
