I don't often get the opportunity to teach hands on. Following the video where I teach James how to draw, I took the opportunity to work on his drawing and practically show him some tricks and tips to push his drawing to the next level. I'm really proud of how quickly James learnt how to draw having never drawn before!

Wow, what a difference. I love seeing them side by side. I have to congratulate the beginner's work for being so amazing.

@jgj5369 Год назад

I cannot even duplicate the beginner version. I barely can do stick figures. He is so talented.

@aaloksenart3988 Год назад

No problem buddy everyone starts from that

@sarah345 Год назад

Did you watch the original video? The beginner guy is not an artist, I think if you employed the same techniques and invested the necessary time, you would be surprised what you could do.

@TheFishRizzler Год назад

naw, you dont need skills as much as you need time and patience.

@liv0003 Год назад

@@sarah345what does that mean he is not an artist?? If he produces some form of art ( drowning is art) he is an artist.

@LyndseyMacPherson Год назад

This was so instructional. Love that James also commented-he helped clarify much of it, too. And also, what a great job he did! Seriously, someone who'd never drawn before did that?!! Fricking amazing.

@lisasternenkind6467 Год назад

I always disliked drawing with pencil, because of the stupid shapes we had to draw in school, together with light and shadow - spheres, cylinders, curved tubes, tubes that widen and narrow again, funnels, ... Oh my gosh, sooo many stupid shapes! We also weren't allowed to erase anything, so we had to start all over again, when we did a mistake. This did NOT feel like *art* and it blocked all creativity. I had been used to art classes in an American school overseas, which really supported creativity in a unique way, and now I was stuck in a gymnasium in Austria an was drawing simple grey shapes in art classes! I swore, never ever to do pencil drawings again. I was done with it. But the years passed. Decades later, I decided to give it a try when I was in hospital. I drew a bunny without a teacher or any supervision. Neither did I have a photograph for reference. I just remembered the bunny from Albrecht Dürer, which we had in our children's room until I was 13 and my sister threw my beloved AD bunny away. Then about 5 years ago, in hospital, overwhelmed by my health condition, I longed for that bunny with the renown A & D lettering. I asked a male nurse for pencil and paper, and began to draw that bunny from memory. Sadly, it finally did not look like the sort of cuddled up bunny I had been aiming at, yet it not only looked like a bunny, it actually looked great. Of course not as great as Jono's work, but still quite decent. Jono said in one of his videos, that pressure unleashes his creativity. I believe he is correct. 😉

@deathbysnusnu1970 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this. I was an artist in my youth and you've inspired me to pick up my pencil again. I've always wanted to try hyperrealistic drawing but have always been afraid to try because I've always had a problem making anything look real. This excites me. I'm still afraid, but i have more courage now. Thank you. ❤

@Gleepglurp Год назад

The teaching james video feels like a total scam. You say he never drew before and you didn't give him much instruction and he just bangs out an amazing drawing of a dog? I dont believe it for a second

@EmorettaRobinson Год назад

I think that James did an amazing job on his drawing. I enjoyed watching the process in a previous video. And I loved that Jono first made a copy of the original drawing. And then added to it while explaining what he was doing and why. I also like how this was edited. Btw, Mya is adorable.

@vidyasagar6937 Год назад

I can hear the spit in your mouth with every shift in syllable when I have my headset on. ASMR is real.

@paul_domici Год назад

Thank you so much Jono!!! This is the lesson we all need in order to bring our drawings to the next level!!!

@nancydautovich1169 Год назад

Beautiful compilation piece by James and Jono, and a nice extension of your Patreon critiques. It's nice to see the careful changes you would make to a piece given time, though the quick suggestions you show on your tablet during critiques are extremely informative too. The fur here is beautiful. I'd love to see how you handle feathers and wings. Much of my work for the past few years has involved birds. I'm inevitably drawn toward utter realism, and yet there are so many beautiful renditions of sweeping wings and suggested feathers. Have you ever done birds in your work, other than the rubber ducky?

@JordanHunter333 Год назад

Maya...what a star! She is the perfect subject. So beautiful, puppyful. Could not stop staring at her. Incredible job, James...truly incredible. And a deep learning watching Jono take your great work to the next stage. I have a black Lab, who passed recently, and tons of drawable/paintable photos. These two videos have given me so much inspiration, courage, and understanding about how to jump in and enjoy rendering her. My soul-puppy. ❤ Thank you both so much! 🙏

@AnthonyMcNeil Год назад

Great artist and a great teacher. You're able to communicate what you did, how you did it and why you did. This was a cool project.

@lisasteel6817 Год назад

I’m currently doing a dog drawing so this is fantastic timing.

@christinehowell Год назад

Although I've been drawing for some time I still find it challenging to get the dark values dark enough. It's a constant battle between getting soft graphite onto the paper and not getting too much graphite shine. I've tried using a make-up sponge and cotton wool but I think lack of confidence inhibits me and I don't get the darkness I want. I need to be more confident and your video really highlights this. Thank you!

@BigTJK Год назад

Hi Christine. I also lack confidence when it comes to dark values. I get around it by drawing with white coloured pencil on black paper. No escaping dark values there!😉

@christinehowell Год назад

@@BigTJK It's encouraging to know I'm not the only one. I'm not sure black paper and white pencil would work for me as I do very detailed drawings of dogs and wild animals - like Jono's dog.

@leximo_ Год назад

When I first started realism, I decided to do mixed media, for my darkest values I use charcoal

@AnnaWeidman Год назад

Just have to thank you for this especially brilliant video---so full of insight and the joy of the work...

@mike777881 Год назад

The mechanical eraser seems like a game changer. Back when I was doing pencil drawings I would try to negatively draw those highlights which is basically impossible. I've since switched to colored pencils and using a white ink pen to have the same effect.

@ErikBongers Год назад

This is an unconventional teaching technique, but reminiscent of the old master's studios, where apprentices prepared the work and the master applied the final finish. For a student, it will rapidly get you into the master's vision and technique. As demonstrated here, even in just 2 lessons: one where you exactly follow the master's instructions and one where you learn to get to a higher level by watching the master finish your work.

@VidhathShetty Год назад

This is delightful to see and how he explains his process about darkening the shadows and creating those subtle highlights to create that contrasting effect can tell his expertise on the subject. I'm inspired to pick up drawing looking at this. Thank you jono for your craft and years of dedication to bring us this experience.🙏🙏🙏🙇

@chriskopeikin2702 Месяц назад

When I have used tissue paper beneath my hand I have had the tissue paper smudge the graphite sometimes, does this happen to you or is there something I am not aware of possibly a technique.

@1aliassmith 8 месяцев назад

You are using very dark graphite. Why is there no shine to this work? it it because you used powdered graphite, cotton wool, and brushes? It is a beautiful portrait!

@sarahdowling2478 Год назад

I would love to send you my Sinead O'Connor drawing to show me how I can expand my drawing technique, I am very good but I want to get bettwe

@gailfraser9617 Год назад

It is so wonderful to hear and see the mutual respect Jono and James have for each other as well as for the process. It's inspiring!

@ShannonSouthAfrica Год назад

I take it that you're using that piece of paper under your hand and arm to stop smudging, but what kind of paper is that? Looks like old school tracing paper.

@Ruddigore Год назад

Have loved watching these two videos. I think James did a fantastic job. It was amazing Watching Jono take a good drawing and turn it into a masterpiece.

@janinafisher101 Год назад

Excellent to see the continuation of James' work! He really did a great job of getting this down, and it was nice to see how you completed it.

@bonniesrandomstuff7066 8 месяцев назад

I love this. The concept of the video. The art. The joy of teaching. The love of Maya! I am having trouble understanding what you mean when you say you apply embossing. And the loose graphite into that? (I think?). Please keep making videos. I decided to learn to draw a year ago, and am loving the experience. There is always more to learn. I'm sure you've heard this before... but at first I thought "what is dry art?"!!!

@ValeriaVincentSancisi 7 месяцев назад

me too on both of videos .. alternating the graphite powder with what??? or pencil with what??? love the mono erasers btw

cotton wool?

@albertocatania6165 11 месяцев назад

@justinkeefe3456 Год назад

How much did it speed you up having him have done what he did? Or did it possibly slow you down? Both are incredible! Well done both of you, especially James, just wow

@eudaemxnia2481 Год назад

James got the drawing to 90% completed before he hit the wall. That's insane, dude.

@abcxyz9647 Год назад

I realized I'm quite good at sketching and the reason I'm not upgrading is because I don't use any of these fancy stuff. I only use pencils and a normal eraser.

@szemirothecallous637 Год назад

Hi, I will write in advance that I like what you do, you have great skills and cool ideas, I don't really know what you have on your mind but who likes what :) You correct your friend's work, it's cool as long as he accepts it. For me, his work is well done, many of these photos are exposed. Does this mean that when we take such photos, we should crop them right away? Or did he as a person see the cutie that way? Each of us is different and perceives the world differently. That's why art is so cool. Regards, I wish you success.

@pablopistola5535 Год назад

Very nice video. What’s the range of pencils you’re using? I see you go up to 8b for the darks. What are the ones in between? Thanks!

@mr__vkr Год назад

Beginner drawing was great just add contrast (Charcoal layer) to look even more realistic that's it.👀❤️

@melanieopperman6688 Год назад

Brilliant and helpful tutorial- thank you James and Jono. It made me miss my sketchbook. I keep promising myself I'll buy myself a Tombow mono zero erasor. I find your gentle approach to the darks using brush and cotton wool interesting. And the eyes are beautiful.

@Macthomas- Год назад

But where's is currently the class he's offering for because I don't see it in the website or sites 🤔 actually is difficult to find with all the other links...?

@allisonjames2923 Год назад

Totally appreciate the loads of really great information here & love the drawing & seeing how you levelled it up. Would just have really appreciated more close-ups of the techniques though in both videos, as it’s hard to really see the differences you’re making on a macroscopic scale, as we’re only seeing the bigger picture. It’s kind of like the video focuses on shadows & mid tones but only talks about the tiny highlights that really give it depth 😊 I know it’s a pain to stick a camera there, but those over the top close-ups make a huge difference in helping us understand what you’re doing. Thank you though. I found that super interesting

@gzaos 7 месяцев назад

Hard to believe that James never draw before, he's work look amazing.

@1872patty Год назад

More impressive than this first crack at a tough subject was the teachings student taking it to his limits and teacher showing how it can be taken so much further without anything more than persistence with what he's doing jono does or doesn't do 1 vital thing for me... He never says anything is being done wrong only praising which should be praised if James isn't hooked after this then there's no hope for any of us

@lungisanisqiniseko1302 Год назад

Great artwork!! I used to watch his videos long time ago...by than they wasn't anyone else in his videos but now I see a team growing and sharing of ideas, teaching, exproring artwork...wow what a great work!!! Huge Shutout to the sponsor 🎉!

@donmcarthur2146 Год назад

@matelo1433 Год назад

Hi Jono, I wanted to say that I love your videos and been watching for a few years now. I have seen how yourself and your work has evolved and think that you should be extremely proud but never satisfied with a drawing as this is what gives artists drive. Please whenever you feel burnt out remember you have got a community behind you and great team members who will give support and motivation to keep going. Also I Love that you did a continuation of James drawing and gave an explanation and showed the thought process behind each mark made. Keep it up Jono!👍

@saucv Год назад

I love his voice ❤. You should read a book, I’ll listen to it on my way to work.

@donnybereznak8653 Год назад

This is probably been asked before but I'm fairly new to your art. I would love to see a real-time demo, or session of you working on a piece. I realize the scale you work at a piece could take hundreds of hours, but maybe you could work on smaller paper focusing on one subject.

@kovacovaart Год назад

So you were drawing in someone else's drawing? It would require your concept of the drawing exactly from the beginning, as he did... Then it could be comparable, not interfere with the work of another... :) And I don't see a big difference, you just blurred and darkened it :) Anyway, good videos you're doing and I'm watching, thanks.

@ericalloi5486 8 месяцев назад

Hi, I really wish I could watch more of your videos, but the EQ on your voice is so horrible that I can't. It even makes my tv buzz!!! It's too low-mid!. If you look at a graphic EQ, you will see that your voice is EQd all around 120 Hz, which makes it sound boomy and un listenable. The problem isn't the 400$ Sure SM7b microphone. Who does your sound must have read in a book that 120 Hz is the "magic frequency" for male voice. OK, when, you mix voice in a song with a whole band maybe, but forgot to listen to it! To compare with drawing, it's like if your voice was all shadows and nothing else. Start with a low-cut (or high-pass, same thing) to eliminate the low-end mud, at least around 80 Hz, but you could probably raise it up to 100 Hz without issue. If it still booms, lower the 120 Hz even more. Then listen! If you have any questions you may contact me, but I don't edit sound for RU-vidr soundtracks, I'm a sound tech for live shows and studio bands, so not selling anything here ;) Love your drawing skills: very inspiring! Please do write me when you fix your voice EQ issue so I can subscribe to your channel!

Recently found your channel and am very glad I did. First of all thank you for showing your work. Brilliant. Truly you are an amazing artist. A master. Your instructions are nothing short of eloquent. Again thank you. Alright the main reason I wanted to leave a comment on your video was to give James huge props for his accomplishments and also his novice point of view AND to say Maya is one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen and was the perfect choice for this video in my opinion. Again thanks for your work it is truly awesome.
