Me too. I even did a happy dance. 😺

One of the best things about being an artist is being able to experiment with things and see what works and how it can work with different textured papers, I started using mechanical erasers because of this channel. Never going back. A deep dive into mechanical pencils and graphite would be so cool!

The power air compressor scene is my favourite. I'm so lolling. 😹The whole video was immensely enjoyable. Thanks to all involved in its creation. 🙏

That quick shot of Jono blowing his lips apart cracked me up. Made him look like Wallace, of Wallace and Gromit. I vote for a short video of Jono and associates playing with the air compressor!!

Always a great morning when a new Jono Dry video drops!

i just realized while working in my knife shop, I could use my big grinder to sharpen a pencil. i am sure i have done this in the past in my old woodworking shop, seems so obvious after I started doing it lol

Thank you Jono, long awaited video yet explained further to my interest! Your content is always admirable and great!!!!

Man I love this walkthrough man. I’m using so many things for the first time this year and just enjoying learning new techniques and tools. Here’s to a great year of drawings!

Love the grinders, such an interesting way to showcase the pencil sharpening process! Also that industrial air compresser hahahaha

Love these updates, shows how you carry on growing as an artist. Awesome work Jono, your one really great and inspiring guy.

big fan of your work, keep up the good work

Genial vídeo, muchas gracias desde España.

Cool walkthrough, thx. Through your videos and artwork I was inspired to dig out my box of graphite/erasers/blending stumps recently, order a mechanical eraser (damn, what an invention!) and a Tombow eraser, and start my first drawing since… longer ago than I dare say out loud. Thanks for that! Massive fun getting back into graphite…

Great video, as all your videos are inspiring to watch. They have helped me get back into graphite (while I still do watercolor) and understand how to achieve getting the detail in the drawing. Many watercolorist will put their paper into bins of water to stretch them. I’ve seen one actually use their bathtub. Since your projects are huge, maybe try a garden sprayer? The ones used for chemicals.

This is amazing, so many amazing tips ☺☺☺

Some, including me, use 12B instead of 14B Pitt Matt graphite pencil, because it is as black but has noticably less graphite shine, compared to the 14B. Technique of how we use the pencil (avoid pressing hard on the paper) is also important. Just a humble tip.

It would be very nice to have a complete list of all your tools with their brands for those interested in proceeding in the same way. I love your drawings and you are a great source of inspiration, I hope to be able to buy one one day. love 😍

Awesome video ❤.. love from India

Finally! A new video

Hi Jono! Really wonderful work and many thanks for the tools layout. Have you ever used a white pencil or Gelly Roll (Sakura or some alternative) for highlights? I find the paper somewhat yellow and would like some parts to stand out even more. Any advice? Keep up the good work and enjoy!

The Faber Castell Perfection 7058 B pencil eraser is little bit harder, I use both for different effects.

You might find glass fibre polishing sticks useful. I use them, as a hand engraver. I can imagine them being a bit aggressive on paper, but they will grind to a fine point.

❤ nice how do u get it black

I see that new piece in there, awaiting its drop on the big screen 😊

Thanks, Jono! (I spied a studio pet!)

I'm trying the erasers. It is very weird for me. I would like to see more about the mechanical pencils and the lead size. I don't use the thicker ones. What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Jono do you ever use charcoal for your beautiful drawings?

Big fan !❤

Why do you stretch your paper? I understand the need to do so for watercolor, but I've never heard of doing it for graphite drawings.

can you tell me about your brushes, like which type of brush or name, i also do the pencil drawing but i never find a perfect brush, it will be a huge help..

looks like EcoTools makeup brushes

I am man and never men can draw like this, this is amazing. During my school and college, i barely saw boys drawing good, just one or two, but if you look girls most of them can draw good, and have good handwriting. Basically they win competitions, but these pictures are mind-blowing and detailed

The intro SHOULD sounds like this: "Hi, Im Jono, and Im creating masterpice".

I know you havent really ever changed your paper- I do wonder though do you think gelatine sized paper stands up to working/reworking/ especially mechanical erasing better than the vegan starch sized HP papers?

Hi Jono. What the name of paper. Icant found for the largest paper like you

Good day Jono, I would imagine it will take some cosmic support to reach you, however I may as well try. Though I’m a huge admirer of your work, though I’m a watercolour artist so your tutorials are only nominally pertinent. However you’ve mentioned square space as your website service provider. You mentioned they’ve offered “amazing support”. Would you be willing to refer me to someone who has been helpful in this dept.? I’m a 76 year old artist, ex IT professional, growing progressively more technologically impaired, so such a referral would be tremendously valued. In appreciation, achille
