Artist Critiques Your Artworks 

I love the way he actually goes in and improves the drawings rather than just talking about what could be improved or changed. It's really nice to see that in an artist who genuinely wants to help others. Great job!

Petition for having his voice in Google Assistant.

I love how art humbles humans

I think I'd be a morning person if this guy read me a chapter from a book every night.

Jono Dry: Draws incredible, hyperrealistic artwork, also Jono: "that's a bad arrow" thank you for doing this Jono, informative and highly beneficial critiques

You show respect for people's drawings, not criticizing them into the ground and making fun of the artist like many other RU-vidrs does. I have also learned something from you, and that's respect when it comes to talking about other people's art. Thank you

All pieces Jono critiqued are beautiful--thank you to the submitters, and thank you, Jono! What a great learning tool this was. Watching this reminds me how the human eye thinks it sees much more than it does. We subconsciously fill in details where, in reality, shadow obscures. The very reason the chiaroscuro style was so very exciting (and still is, really) is that artists employed shadow with great courage. It lent drama, but also mimicked a profound reality that grabbed the viewer's very core. I so love that. And I feel that same excitement when I see Jono's work.

He is like a magician who is upgradjng art with a magical wand

Thanks a lot for reviewing my artwork here JONO , I feel lucky and blessed that my inspiration reviewed my artwork, thanks for the feedback , will correct myself hereafter . Looking forward to submit more works hereafter , congrats to others as well . Love from india 🇮🇳 ♥

I love how he’s actually improving them to show exactly how to help the artist

I wish i could hv known it before i would submit my art... I missed it lol

Lots of love from India ❤️🇮🇳

I wonder how a human being can be so filled with sweet syrup inside and still named as dry.

Each picture looked amazing to me, and then I was stunned at how he transformed them into even better. The most helpful critique ever

Hi Jono, i've been following you for a while now. You are my inspiration on the artworks that i do, especially when i do conceptual arts. I really love your style. I've learned a lot from you

"But Ja", the most South African thing I've ever heard😂

Love the videos man you’re such an amazing person and artist keep it up

He smiles i smile. It just happens naturally wow😂

Loved the way his critique was laid out and got to learn a good few practices. These videos help a looooootttttt when you are an inexperienced artist like me. Thanks a lot!!!!!

I missed it. I want to correct my drawing. You are a great teacher. 🥰

LOve how you take interest in other;s drawing and just instead of giving advice you showed the tutorial too...Hats off sir :-)

I love how he gives positive feedback and positive reinforcement and doesn't come off like really criticizing.

Jono how to send my drawing u have inspired me a lot and the images that comes in my mind for drawing is similar to u

Quick Question- how do you avoid drawing things incorrectly due to the perspective that you look at the paper with?

This could be a series, it's incredible. I really think it's so constructive to add your own actual ideas to other people's drawings. It is so effective at understanding your input. Bravo!

All of his critiques are really fair and even though he didn't see my artworks I learned something from other people's pieces

Please do this again this year 🙏

Guy draws epic realism Also guy struggles to draw arrow.......

What app are you using to edit the photos?

I wish he would include a bit more of beginning artists because let's be honest we are not all that advance but those are still some great advise for professional artists.

If you called that destroy, I'd like you to critique mine

Amazing your voice, your art and you better than both!!!

I'm a very big fan of your drawingss😍, And I also love to draw 😊! "Lots of love from Bangladesh

He pronounced Indian names so flawlessly...

I loved that all the critique was delivered in a positive way and he showed how it could be improved instead of doing a lot of talking

Wow, learning so much here 🤯 🥰 thanks to the people who sent in their submission and thanks for the respectful constructive critique

That voice though. Such a humble person.. ✨

the drawing of the woman with jewelry looks like he took 50 hours to draw the face and 10 mins to draw the jewelry. it's just my opinion.

I'm not really confident when it comes to strong shadows, but it's a convincing video to give it a try...

Jono is looking cool in this jacket😍😍😎😎

I have learned a lot from watching your videos, and I'm actually having my first exhibition soon, huge thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Jono this is amazingly helpful - appreciate you taking the time to do these!

Thank You so much Sir. We never stops learning and you provide the best knowledge about drawings. Humble request* 🤗 Please make a video on: 1. how to make prints 2. How you plan and start your drawings

Critiques can be tricky. I generally get critiques from people with no art experience, which I find to be blunt and it definitely gets me down. The internet is sometimes a horrible place and people love to be rude. Your kindness towards each person's portrait is a breath of fresh air. I love all levels of art progression. And it always blows my mind where people start from. Thank you for this wonderful video. I think I'll submit some of my pieces to your email you provided. 🙃

Brilliant idea to do this Jono. Love watching this kind of content.

Thanks for another great video Jono! Is there anyway we can send you any art for critiquing? 😊

You are not an artist, you are a genius.

Thought he was gonna flip out and straight start roasting, it would be interesting. But great video as always

I feel so weird.. The people who submitted are also so good 😂😂

Can i submit my stuff? Im fairly new to drawing but i have been able to pretty much nail the Technique for portrait drawing and want some tips, btw you are my favorite artist and you are what made me want to keep drawing keep it up man!

Thank u soooo much....for reviwing my art work sir❤️

@jonodry very good tutorial to rectify and show out the mistake ....I'm trying to send my artwork through Gmail but it's not going please if check your insta hope you receive my artwork....love from India❤️

You are lovely.,real artist!

Man u r cool.... Would hopefully submit a portrait of me I'm doing wen I'm done.... Thanks 😎

Can this be a daily thing?!?!!

I know this is a very late comment, but I just want you to know how much of an inspiration you have been to me over my career and also just in my pursuit to better myself as a person and an artist I’m also from South Africa and to see someone not only constantly learning and teaching, but producing such stunning, technical, and emotive pieces from the same country as me has just been a major push in the right direction 💚 I have been following you and watching your work for years now and all I can say is a resounding THANK YOU! for everything that you have done for art, artists and humanity in general because you have made a huge difference 💚

Thank you Jono for this brilliant video !

♥️♥️

Your work is just awsm😍😍.....your videos helped me alot😊...keep uploading more videos..😊😊

Oh my.. ♥️ The rhino was awesome, but the shadow made it more real.. All these works of art are.. well art.. and awesome in their own way.. there should be its own word for positive criticism, bc criticism sounds just so negative.. I know, I know.. 😄♥️

WoW your critique is so priceless and helpful 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾

Saludos desde honduras 🇭🇳

more of these types of videos!

Thank you so mu6 sir fr this video...really helpful...your voice always inspires me...thank you...

Jono, I guarantee you this video is going to be especially popular with your viewers. A critique of aspiring artists by a professional such as yourself is a fantastic idea. Definitely recommend you try to make this at least a semi-regular feature. Well done.

Really love your videos.... following you...from... beginning....your tricks and techniques...are awesome...i used to draw...from my childhood...but i always had a fear to come...in front...and present my drawing in social media... during this pandemic...i started...my... channel...before...i was...little... afraid...but later...i...was...free enough to share my artwork....if i had to say...the thing...i like most in u...is your concept...your...style to... creating the references...ur tips...helped me alot..in improving my videos...ur an inspiration...still trying to...do...my level best...to...succed...#strings_and_canvas... Love from INDIA

Jono dry speaking. My phone's vol- 110 %

Thanks for doing this Jono. I learnt a lot from this video. I appreciate you so much and love your humility... Like, you're so calm and humble. I pray to get as good as you.

I’ve been watching your critiques today and they’ve been quite helpful. Each video has provided a new tip for me to use. Thank you.

Hi Jono, Just sub’d to your channel. Love your amazing work and also the way that you are supporting other artists. I am wondering if you started on your drawing passion very early in life? The detail you capture in your work is incredible and inspiring, but I’m also taking on board your advice about shading. Makes a huge difference, along with highlights, to the impression of depth. I’m taking a class in drawing and painting, so will keep this in mind. Many big thanks!

This is so helpful!! My work has improved from your instruction ! Thank you for sharing these!

Hey jono...I loved your art too much ...thank you for that much guiding ...please can you tell me how can I also submit my work

Nice art work from the others, especially liked the Rhino (7:13) and although I agree with your critique of it I thought your blacking in was too much on it, you realised it and hurried on. Of all the pictures the Michael Jackson and the eye were pretty naff but to somebody that cannot draw they're all pretty good. ''Letting the details not be so dramatic?'' To an artist every detail can be dramatic JD. We all learn by copying others art, I like a picture because it appeals and I've no idea why. In my own case cartoons and animation float my boat with artists like Gilbert Sheldon and Paul Sample, I love their amazing cross hatch and shading work. Reading graphic novels and drawing comics, I wanted to do them but never did. Drinking and building work put paid to that. There will be some real revolutions in art as people adjust to life under covid and many are certainly discovering their inner Van Gogh. Your own work is stupendous Jono such detailing is astounding, I'd hate to hear your critique on my own stuff, had enough of that in school.

Sounds like Elon Musk. Incredible artist. What an awesome God-given gift!

How do you make drawings realistic Jono- "SHADOW!!!"

Well done! Strangely the lighting of your first critique is very similar to the lighting of your face in this video...I stopped the video to compare it with the portrait of that guy....very dramatic lighting. I really like it, looks warm...thanks for sharing 🥀

Nice pointers... I can relate... I hope you could make more of these kinds of videos because it's a great help to people like me who study art through youtube.... having a point of view of a professional artist.... Thanks sir keep up the good work and more power...🤓👍

My best inspiration..🇿🇦😊✍️ little by little I will on your level.

I have a quick question for you Jono, in the ball park, how much do you get for your large graphite drawings? Thanks..

yeah I second to you.. too much detailing can makes a drawing often slight dizzy.. it would be awesome if it does have a wide scale.. like A0 or at least A1.. our eyes or vision is too subtle to distinguish the minor cringes layer by layer.. to me drawings are visibly beautiful just by giving emphasis on light & shadows.. ✔️ artistic pieces are catchy over hyperrealism to me at least..

Hey Jono, can you tell us what equipment and program you're using here? I don't do any digital artwork but after watching this video I think I can improve my pencil work just by being able to fiddle with them digitally like you did here. To see what it would look like if I did this or that. I use a lot of color and it isn't very easy to mess with after the fact. Thank you very much for the videos; I watch them all.

Will you be doing any more critiques? I’ve got a few drawings but mainly the recent one I’ve finished that I’m curious to see what you think I should work on. Would love to jump from realistic to hyper realistic the way that you draw!

Lots of love from bangladesh bro can you post videos based on how to start as a beginner in arts and get better in it...❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗💯💯📣♥️♥️🔥🔥👀

This is so helpful! Not only insightful but so respectful of the artists and their work being critiqued! Thanks for sharing your expertise, Jono! You have such a tender soul!

Pls make more of this type of videos , and make it longer as you can review very less no. Of drawings in that much of time only. Btw love your artwork .Next time I will also post my drawing . ❤️❤️

JONO YOU'RE TO HUMBLE YOU DON'T DO PENCIL DRAWINGS YOU MAKE MASTERPIECE BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART AND I ADMIRE WHAT YOU DO

First to watch love from India

@Jonodry hey jono when are you planning to post another videos on critique...? You inspired me a lot and that too I tried some of the realistic sketches seeing original picture...so I'm kindly sharing you my work...try to consider my work as well...i know its not easy to shortlist and critique their work...but still hope my work catch your eyes.. finger crossed🤞

This was well done...finally understood what I've been doing wrong when shading.

Jono Dry can critique my artworks anytime. I just don't like it when you come across people who become harsh critiques and they can even draw stickmen.

Your( @Jono Dry ) artworks are fantabulous...and of course I'll became ur fan.

I don't have any artworks. And contactless uber eats delivery seems like a waste of a good critic. Am I making a little bit of sense?

I am waiting for second critique vidoe . I mailed you one of my sketch and was hoping you would give your thoughts on it. Thank you

I have an eye I'd like advice on. I tried to copy you using the grid method. It turned out ok but I think I'm a little aggressive with the graphite and the iris looks too... Busy? Anyway if you think you can critique my attempt at your eye let me know where to upload

Very positive and productive. You would make a great mentor but in a huge way you are already. Thank you for your videos.

What is the pad and software that you’re using? Thank you for all your encouragements.

I like your style Your drawing are most shaded than others with about 70% of pure darkness

Dono u should make a video of the step in making a drawing not the drawing itself but from the start. The person u choose to take a picture off. The reference. The material u decide to use. The idea extra things behind ur idea. After the drawing how do u seal it. How to frame it and present it. Plz I'm sure we would all like that

I liked all the additions you made except for the hawk, no offense because I am not a professional but I think the original was way better.

The guy drawed the drawing instead of talking the talk......sooooooo like
