How to Draw Face Using Reilly Method 

IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE PAID FOR THIS VIDEO.

Honestly I think you're the most underrated art youtuber! especially concerning hyperrealism and portraits and generally artistic skill in terms of not only copying a photograph but also creating unique but hyperrealistic drawings in a very unique and distinct style! I definetely look up to you as a lot of people should

I recently found Jono’s channel when I started drawing again, and I think it caused something in my art to click. My art has advanced so much in the past few weeks, and I've gotten so much more that I'm happy with. Thank you, Jono!! Your work has filled in a missing piece in my style.❤️

good tutorial ! ive just retired from working in the decorating industry ! I started as a painter and decorator and then signwriter and then commercial artist , later moving into fresque , dry and wet , ive painted and drawn everything ! I taught in polytechnic university , night school classes for people who wanted to advance their craft ! And now im free ! RETIRED AT LAST ! no more working for millionaires and billionaires ! Finally free ! So ive decided to go back to the basics of pencils and paper and charcoal and sculpting wood ! I enjoy watching tutorials ! it's nice to know that there are still artists who use their hands and calculate and are ready to pass on information to others ! it's brilliant what your doing ! I never hear anyone talk about breathing !! it's really important when you're making a stroke or circle especially if your old school and still use a mahlstick as ruler and compass and soforth ! Maybe you could talk about it ! also when we are working on scaffolding and the image is 60 centimetres from ourselves and the wall or ceiling ! and it's 10 meters by 15 meters the inner eye becomes more important and techniques and rules of geometry become extensions of ourselves ! Here's something of interest ! Maybe ? I believe Ancient Egyptian artists were using a version of a Reilly method of their own ,and they were using , Hardwear and software in pretty much the same way you are using now ! The scuptures in granite are absolutely geometrically perfect ! perfect ratio and proportion and obviously done with pneumatic chisels and diamond disque ! But done by hand anyway ! I think we are on the frontier of rediscovering the arts and techniques of our ancestors ! Thankyou very much for your video !

the lighting in this video is so comforting

Love you Jono from India, you are too good💖

I was thinking about learning this method earlier today, perfect timing!

It's amazing, mind boggling to wonder about extraordinary feats some humans are capable of achieving. Jono is an example

Jono! The true Heart of an Artist and Educator. This is one of those times that sneak up on you and shower you with as much delight as it does surprise. A few months ago I decided to prepare (insulate) myself during the chilly Massachusetts months ahead by returning to my self-taught drawing practice. Foraging through Books on drawing faces on Amazon the other evening I had the good fortune to come upon your book. I have binged for hours now on the feast of information and inspiration you provide! I am a jazz musician/singer and, for me, Tone is everything. May I say that the warm inviting inclusive sound of your voice has provided a wonderful feeling of what might be possible if I only apply the same Love I have for the study of Music, to Portrait Painting. Your intuitive and patient guidance instantly reminded me of a teacher I studied with in grad school whose guidance significantly changed my artistic life. It also prepared me for a lifetime of teaching as well. All I can say is Thank you for all that you do and for possessing one of those loving creative teachers that embraces everything and everybody. For me, this is the creative equivalent of striking gold! I look forward to spending the months ahead learning and laughing my way to becoming a student of Portrait Drawing!

I love your artworks. They showed strong emotions. It's weird but looking at it helps me to focus my mind and stop being anxious. You're also a great inspiration since you're able to surpass your own physical limitations using arts. I love sketching and doing portraits but after I got my focal seizure disorder I had a hard time controlling my pencils but after watching your videos I got motivated to keep on practicing again. Thanks for creating great contents. Stay safe and healthy 😊.

Jono Dry is the Mannnn!! Thanks for everything:- tips methods and all tutorials

It's very satisfying to see how you start to put shadings. Your hand moves swiftly which is kind of hypnotizing. It also amazed me how much you're not scared in putting shadows. Such a great work!!

Thank you for rendering a portrait using this method, it truly helped me understand the lines you drew. My portraits are definitely more ‘3D’ using this method.

Can't be thankful enough , huge fan of your chill vibe and artwork

I still get a chuckle out of your intro "I'm Jono and I do pencil drawings..." It's like hearing "I'm Chuck Norris and I like to kick stuff" or "I'm Raphael Nadal and I like to hit tennis balls" or even "I'm Bill Gates and I have some money". Jono, I appreciate how you underestimate yourself! Cheers!

Thanks for the tips ,and the method !! 😀

Going to say it again. You make me proud to be a South African. I really love your work and you inspired me to draw more. You are the reason why I got 96% for my art. PLZ continue making this type of vids. It really helps.

Like I said before.. Best part of my day when you release a new video. Thank you so much for the amazingness which is this video.

I just want to say thank you for posting these videos. I was looking to find a medium to work in due to a confined workspace when I found you. I did not think about pencil drawings because I had no idea you can get such wonderful results. thank you thank you. Your work is very dynamic. love it

this is the first time watching his vids and he is rlly good at explaining, this is what i find easy, i also pretty much like proko, he is also good at explaining things in a way

you are right when you point out that it must be done over and over again ! it's the only way to develop the inner eye ! it's so good that young people who want to make their career from Art have so much information just available with the click of a button ! A long time ago ,which really isnt so long ago ! to learn what you've just taught for free would have taken weeks of research ,reading books and sitting in a classroom or on a historical building, studying the sculptures around the building at lunch time ! Young people might not see the wonderful chance they have ! Education by choice and learning for pleasure is a new thing ! well done !

I love it Jono! Thanks for sharing.... And now to practice. It is fantastic! Much appreciate it.

I've been practicing with the loomis method but this method added does bring out more dimmension. Very revealing, thanx.

i'm kinda new to the channel and only discovered you a few days prior. I've watched a few videos of yours and i swear, i learned more from your videos than i did in my high school art class! I'm learning realism and your channel helped me a lot :) keep up the good work!

7:54 that smooth swoosh big line in one stroke! masterpiece

You’re amazing..... I really feel inspired when I see your work thank you so much..... keep it up😉

Your videos really motivates me to go back and complete my incomplete art work. 😂 These tutorials really helps.

Love your work, your style and your demeanour.

It’s very useful to understand how to draw face from basic, thank you so much for make video of this. Your really inspiration for other artists including me. I respect your arts and your unique ideas. I’m requesting you if possible could you please make video of whole drawing,”not only face” from skin to everything.

I just wanna say i really love your artwork!!

Yes yes. I was waiting for this 😭😭 Will practice tomorrow, your voice is asmr to my ears

man, thanks! your work are amazing. cheers from Brazil.

You are best and most underrated sketch artist in RU-vid

Love the direction your channel is going. Keep it up!

An aspiring artist here I started drawing the last April, due to the lockdown, and I found this very hopeful and it will me with proportions which I really struggle with. Hopefully, in the future I can showcase my artwork just like you. you're an inspiration Jono.

Great demonstration!

paired with the lighting, you have a super smooth bone structure.

I “NEEDED” this video :))))))

you are wonderful Artist.. You are inspiration to me now a days... its just not what you follow.. it just what you do can help us to achieve our goal.. I just started look into this after long long time.. and it helps me alot.. thanks.. and do inspire us alot..

Sir,Thanks for introducing Reilly method.I will try this method in my next drawing.

wow, man! you are just amazing!!!

Great tutorial Jono! But for anyone who finds this too complex I recommend the loomis method ,that method is little bit straight forward.

Thank you for this video. There are are so many things to learn from here. Thank you very much.

Nice work, thanks

Was waiting for your video... yaayyy 😻😻😻

Wowo This method is amazing And the way your teaching is really very clear to understand 😍 Your my inspiration in art

I just started studying this yesterday because of that MJ critique 😳 so thanks, great timing!

Jono dry one of the best artist in all the world. In my opinion

You are my inspiration sir😘❤️🤗

You inspired me so much ty i wanna be a manga artist but i still see you great artworks ty

The best face tutorial I watched so far. It would make it even better if you could teach us how to draw even these complex things about the shadows on the face.

nice method brother. I want to try this one 👏

I was looking through some of your art, and I noticed you use fibonacci sequence in some of your drawings. I loved that you actually drew the spiral in some of them such as Mother's Hands, and Sacred Study. It looks really cool. I love all your art by the way. It is very beautiful, and I hope that one day my art will look closer to the level of yours.

Hey Jono, amazing video as always. Just seeing the process start from a few lines and ending up extremely detailed is just something amazing to watch, in such a short video aswell! I'm not really that comfortable with my work and feel like its really not that good at all, and don't really know where to start with things. Without sounding like I'm begging you to do this, or like I'm telling how to do your job, could it be possible for you to make a video about what your earlier work looked like? We get to see your amazing projects now but I would have to assume you haven't always been this good, id just sort of like to see the journey of that. If this isnt possible that is fine, and as I said before, amazing video as always :)

MR DRY! Please Help! I think this not only speaks for me but also most of the artists who submitted drawings for you to critique. I am an artist based in Johannesburg (lived in CPT for 10 years, will move back there for varsity and perhaps meet you one day) I am at a point of wanting to make a jump into HYPER-realism from realism. I have good pencil skills but I am missing those finer details in my portraits which will help propel me to the next level which I am keen to get to. I recently tried using graphite powder, a tombow mono zero erasor, needable erasor, blending stumps, cotton wool and machanical pencils. I bought all these tools recently having watched your videos with the objective to upgrade my drawing skills and achieve those finer details. I tried drawing a pair of eyes using all the tools as you suggested in one of your videos and the process was so humbling, I honestly felt like I was drawing for the first time in my life. The process of layering the graphite powder and skin details to get realsitic skin texture is just so foreign to me but I really need it. It is what I would like to focus on for the next few months until I get it right but I need a Master to help lead the way. It would honestly cut out a lot of struggle. Could you please make a video just focusing drawing skin textures (NOT a Timelaps - those take away great moments for us to learn from you!) a video that would help us make the jump would be one where you just focus on showing how you draw hyper-realistic skin on the forhead, around the eyes, cheeks, mouth and just taking us through the process of layering graphite and drawing skin patterns, pores, blemishes and making lines disappear to bring out that picture perfect quality hyper-realism. I think longer videos would help many artists like me that would like to go into apprentice mode who are in need of a Master to help guide the way. The best way I learn is copying from someone above me who is highly skilled and gives great guided instructions and repeating the exercise until I feel good about the amount of experience aquired and the quality of work I'm prodjucing then I go out and apply it on my own works. I used one video from Rapid Fire Art to learn how to draw realistic eyes and just repeated the steps there again and again until the eye looked realistic enough. Even had a few people who looked at the drawing think it was a picture, I am just missing skin details and would like to practice this. I can't find anything on youtube that looks like the type of skin texture You do and would honestly like to learn from YOU. The video you made on lips was really good but it was too fast to follow and couldn't see some of those finer details. I would have loved to watch you draw at normal speed and see those finer details I couldn't zoom into. Had to run to the mirror and look at my own lips and freestlyle them in. Using your lip drawing video tutorial I actually manageed to draw the best lips I have ever drawin off the first try and funny enough I was able to achieve this on normal photocopy paper without any grit on it. You have a different style from mine and I feel like learning from you can take me to the greater hieghts my heart longs for. Please make videos on skin texture details, graphite layering using your normal style of drawing. Blending with cotton wool and all, layering the graphite and then going in for the details with machanical pencils and just take us through the process of whats on your mind as you draw. Perhaps using a high quality reference image that we can all download and try draw while following along with your video and guidence until we get it right like you. You do not need to do the eyes and hair and all, just skin drawing and shading/blending process at normal speed using all your tools as you would normally and with a refference image we can follow along to until we master that refference image. I honestly wouldn't mind watching a 5 hour or more video on this again and again until I get it right. Skin patterns, wrinkels, blemishes, pimples, mouls, pours and roughness and smoothness. One or a few videos showing us this at real speed would be a blessing of a lifetime.

I have seriously no words to thank u for this amazing and helpful content...I was really finding this kind of video from many days but couldn't failed..thanks for sharing.. Best wishes for u from DM sketching 👍😍
