I Carved The Queen Of Winter 

my jaw literally dropped when i saw the drawings youre going to sell!! the detail, the shading, the atmosphere,,,

Your art is just so amazing! It's almost unfair that you're so good at drawing AND sculpting. What is this black magic? Anyways, this was beautiful, and I look forward to the next video.

Your reference drawings alone are impressive, I'm glad to witness such beauty with my own eyes.

Iam an 83 year old artist. I am primarily a sculptor (first show at nine years of age). A technigue I use in wood sculpture when there are gaps or large cracks; is to cut wedges of wood , after a "glue" coat of resin in the cracks, drive the wedges into the voids, one after another, until void is full and epoxied. I have gotten to where i no longer worry if it is the same color. Once "finished" it provides "character"! nice work!! Loren

I watch a lot of wood carvers here on youtube and while their work is incredible, none have the drawing skills you do - its the most beautiful, inspiring, and impressive work i’ve seen in a while❤

What I wouldn't give for the sketches you did of this. They are so pretty and have so much character. Thank you again for bringing us into your creative process and showing all the trials and errors that come with such challenging designs.

You are very gifted and talented. Your work is absolutely wonderful. You do amazing detailed sketches and woodwork. The Queen of Winter is awesome. I love owls, and you portrayed her so well.

There's something sexy about applying the oil to the finished work. Needless to say, it's another stunning piece.

The one great thing about carving is that you can change the design if needed. I've done quite a few where I've gone from first design to totally different...if your happy with it then that's the bonus...don't forget, you are your greatest critic.

She turned out beautifully! I personally like the eyes without pupils. She looks very mysterious and the drawings you made of her are also incredibly beautiful! I wish you a good holiday season and a beautiful start into the next year. ❤❤

Thank you Jonas for showing your design process as well as this amazing sculpture! Have a wonderful Yule season and looking forward to seeing you progress in the New Year!

Those antlers are looking really great. You have to ‘offer’ a log for them, but totally worth it. Well my friend, it’s been a great year watching you create the amazing sculptures you’ve made. I’m especially happy that you have been able to follow your plan. Create, learn and getting better ánd taking care of yourself. That, in my opinion is the best accomplishment you’ve made this year. And the result of that, we can all see. Have a great Christmas!

You jonas are one amazing artist ,i always enjoy your videos and like all the other sculptures this one is yet again a master piece

Another excellent sculpture !!! I love seeing your progress drawings. You are very talented in drawing, and I am excited to hear you are offering copies after the New Year. I would REALLY encourage you to pursue the children's book as well. Your drawings have a "deep knowing/magical" feel to them. DO think about showing the drawings alongside your sculptures. I think people would enjoy that. Another thought is to use the drawings as greeting cards. I have done it before myself, and it is quite easy to do. The quality is dependent on price, so, do investigate! I would suggest some companies I have used, but they are USA based, so, don't think it would help much ! I would glad buy greeting cards with your images on the outside. I would suggest leaving the inside blank, then people can use them for any reason. Enjoy your time off and being outside in Mother Nature !

Barn owls are my favorite. You carved this piece to perfection. I really like it 🦉

i love how you're showing more of the sketching and brainstorming process in this video, it's cool to see all the ideas!

Have a great vacation and I hope 2024 is an even better year for you.

Almost 230k subscribers, sponsorships, you are well on your way to becoming famous for your sculptures. Great work this year!

i love owls and this sculpture takes them to another level

Great job this year, truly inspiring thanks for sharing

F***ing gorgeous. I had a similar concept I wanted to craft. Owls and barn owls are simply a natural sculpture, their anatomy is astounding. I'm saving your vids for reference.

Я очарованна вашей работай. Слежу за вашем творчеством давно. Пишу впервые. Я влюбленна в вас и вашу мастерскую, мечтаю самой достичь вашего уровня. Спасибо, что Вы есть!

Outstanding work! So much talent 👏

Your drawings are impressive enough and then seeing them come to life in wood is just amazing. You outdo yourself with every project!

The statue is so beautiful. I love how it looks the Fantasy feel it gives.

Absolutely stunning! And that patch on the stand fills in beautifully

Your creations are so impressive ! Happy holidays Jonas !

beautiful work!

Awesome! Thank you Jonas 🙏 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 💫

Lovely sculpture and drawings!!! 😊

Another amazing work in the collection.

Oh, it's been such an awesome year of seeing you create all these wondrous sculptures! And your drawings are just as beautiful! Have a Merry Christmas, Jonas, and I look forward to seeing your 2024 creations in wood or on paper !

Thank you so much for the aesthetic pleasure that I felt watching your creative process in both drawing and wood carving. You make wonderful sculptures out of wood. I hope to see your new works soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! From Russia, with great respect for your work.

Wow! Your owl is awesome! I swear your work gets more wonderful each time. And your drawings as always are so talented. Still wishing I had even 5 percent of your talent! Thank you for sharing.

Your sculpting has improved greatly and it really shows in the creativity and quality of your work. Keep experimenting, keep trying new things and if it works, you have more to your repertoire of skills. Your sculptures are magnificent and I love how you add a fantasy twist to them. It keeps things different and gives you a niche not many else can say they have. Thank you for sharing your work with us and the process it takes to do them. And may 2024 bring you ever more success in your endeavors!

Fantastic video and outstanding sculpture (as usual). As for your workshop, if you are comfortable and able to create (which you most assuredly do), then it’s fine. Don’t get stressed about it. Clean and reorganize as the need arises (or when you need a break from sketching or carving). Have a very merry, happy and restful holiday season ❤

WOW !!! WOW !!! Your talents just never cease to amaze !!!!!!!!!!

Looks absolut amazing..congratulations to get your plan complete. It’s a pleasant feeling to achieve a goal . Looking forward to the next video..wish a merry Christmas for you and your familiy

I love your work. You're so talented and creative.

Your videos inspire me to keep woodcarving. Merry Christmas…much love

Beautiful

Oh Jonas! She is magnificent! She reminds me a bit of the owls in the Beatrix Potter books I had as a child. Well done, beautiful work

YES I AM OBSESSED WITH OWLS RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE SO CUTE AND YOUR SCULPTURE IS SO MAJESTIC AND PRETTY, I love pretty things and this sculpture is no exception :)

Stunning!

Gorgeous ❤

I have a hard time deciding what I love more... your sculptures or your drawings. Amazing talent!!!

Absolutely impressive! Superb work! I especially like when the oil is applied; the sculpture seems to come to life with the oil.

As usual, amazing carving Jonas! Happy Holidays to you & your family! 👍👍🌲🌲🦉🦉

Fantastic and mystical, as always. Your many talents and hard work will hopefully be fully recognized as they deserve.

Awesome! Hi from Argentina

Amazing work again can’t wait to see the next one

Your sculpture is breathtaking. I love the drawings as well .

You will sell at your opening because your work is incredible. The big cat is astounding and if it were I, it would stay in my home. Just phenomenal!

Absolutely beautiful!

An amazing piece of art ❤❤❤❤

God Jul Jonas 🎄

Hey Mr. Jonas, what a stunning piece again, I looooooooooooove idea with the antlers that is just my style a little mysterious a little dramatic wowwwww. Congratulations to you Mr. Jonas, see as I told you in the beginning of this year, I know you can do this and you did, I have faith in you. You have done a great job. Wishing you a Wonderfull Christmas time to you and all around you.

Man, you're so damn good with symmetry. I've always struggled with that, even as a kid. I have to draw with the paper between 45° and almost 90° at an angle toward me, so I'm usually drawing a picture sideways to how I'm sitting. I haven't seen any other artist with this pronounced of a tilt, but that's just how it's always worked for me. I can't draw straight up and down, and this gives me issues with symmetry like these images. I admire people who can freehand really symmetrical pictures and shapes like that. You're an amazing artist!

Your work is severely underrated, the curves of the sculpture almost seem natural and the detail is exquisite. Why is no one being recommended your videos in the RU-vid Algorithm?

Great video!

I posted a comment about it in your last video, but seeing more of your design process is mesmerising. Your drawings are fabulous!

The craftsmanship is truly impressive. 👍👍👍

The way your unique drawing skill transfers immaculately and so fluid into your carving is impeccable. You are special sir. I admire your talent. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Creative as usual ❤

Really beautiful!

Wow such talent in your hands 👍 sculpture so mystical 🦉🦉🦉🦉 cheers Stephen 🤠⭐🦅👍🍀

That was a pretty epic year from you! great finish👌😮Thanks for bringing us along on your art journey and hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Maybe ask Santa for a shop vac?✨️

Your a Great Artist!

I love it,that is an amazing piece of art!!

Hi man amazing sculpture and video as always enjoyed it alot

I stumbled upon your channel and am more than pleasantly surprised at your incredible creative talent and the humaness you capture in your process!!! Thank you for the genuine content😊. I very much appreciate how you include a lot of your design steps, your thoughts and humor. I now have caught up on your past videos and your work is unbelievable! i also, second everyone's requests for you to share (and or sell) more of your sketching process too. They are in themselves amazing peices of art. How cool to see some of them come to life in sculpture form!? Is that your favorite part? Lastly, the reveal of the wood grain when you oil them is so satisfying!!🤗 thank you again

as usual, beautiful ....greetings from South Africa

beautiful!

Amazing work, you are extremely talented.

Once again, you have outdone yourself! What a beautiful work of art. Love watching you sketch out your ideas.My granddaughter loves to draw, but doesn’t share her ideas. She just finished the 1st book of a trilogy about a Unicorn. She’s 35;single, works on the family farm and loves life..Jonas, have a Happy Christmas, joyous New Year, and keep sharing you adventures thru your sculptures!Blessings!

Thank you for taking me on this journey with you this year Jonas. You are a very special person with a special talent to share with the world.

I wish I had a quarter of the talent you have, beautiful work.

I really love your new idea for the flow of your videos, seeing the whole process like this is absolutely perfect also your artistic skill is fantastic and the way you render your drawings are insane, I really have a hard time wrapping my head around the whole less is more approach, my shadows always become way too dark and your understanding of proportions are amazing.

you are so unbelievably talented dude this is stunning. my fave, despite liking all of them, was the second ! i think the whole “proud” thing going on was so well put into the drawing, despite the owl itself having no distinct features :0 (cause its an an owl yknow). u could see the proud in its eyes .. and posture. anyways, merry christmas jonas ! i hope ur rest of the year is good 🫶
