      As an artist I learned to start working and not worry about my mind or anything. Just start working, then you will find your way and inspiration. It’s when time disappear. Then you get your state of creation.
      I did worked every day for 30 years, sometimes I was cleaning brushes, sometimes painting for hours, you need the discipline.
      Picasso said I keep working every day and when the inspiration comes it can catch me working! Best

      @rickdalbey6009 3 роки тому

      There is no trace of the artist in this drawing. It is a mechanical representation of the eye. Jono is competing with a camera. Of course this is an insanely high degree of craft here, but no self expression, style, interpretation or art. It represents obsessive/compulsive behavior. This reminds me of the days when photography was not as sophisticated and artists were employed as medical draftsmen to aid surgeons and medical students. Not the kind of art I would want hanging in my house.

    I'd like to know if you have a reference when you're drawing, a picture, a model or anything.
    Especially for all your amazing drawings with horns.
    Or if you work without it, if you have the clear idea of what to do in your mind.
    Thank you, i love your videos!

    Brilliant honest, be fearless and don’t listen to anyone. If you keep moving forward you will get better. And maybe even get to like yourself. This is what I got from following these guidelines. Very good examples here. Thank you.

    Love this video! I was always curious about why you wet the paper. It makes sense and you can see in the timelapse how it works. Can you do a video for emerging artists? Such as providing career tips, improving, and business aspects of the art field.

      I think thats a massive subject and I do have some opinions on it but there is no one way to go about it. Ill try make a video expressing what I think works. Will take a bit of time to plan and shoot but thats a great question. Thanks!

    Thanks so much for explaining this technique, Jono. None of my teachers or mentors did it with anything but watercolor, so doing it for graphite is quite new to me. If it contributes to the results you produce, it must be worth doing. And yes, please keep the mental and physical how to's coming. Bright blessings.

    I would like to get to know you as a person better. Tell us why you draw, or what in your art makes you happy, or sad or anything you want to. You don't have to get personal, but some basic things about you will be nice. Love your art and it's amazing that a fellow South African is so amazing at his talent.

      Im not sure I could answer that with out getting personal. I think Ill get into that stuff one day when I feel a bit more comfortable on the platform. I dont know, There is also something good about leaving things out, like my motivation behind the work, might take away from how others see it.

    Hi Jono! Thanks for this video. How long (how many hours) does it take in between you wetting your paper and drawing on the paper? Do you begin drawing on it as soon as it's completely dry or you try to elapse a particular time before actually drawing on it?
