Thanks for watching! Head to www.jonodryart.com/prints/p/g... for a limited edition print.
Every year I work on an eye drawing - it has become a productive marker of both time and technique with pencil drawing. I had fun playing with this year’s eye, exploring my playful side - with a hint of surrealism.

As someone who is completely unskilled in art, I can't even believe human being can create something like this with a pen. The vision for such details and the ability to put in real work is insane.
Well said pal👏👏
Well I attended paint school for 8 years but I am still shocked by this artwork. It is.more than just art...
Unskilled is not accurate , he's got a God given gift,
@@whattodoaboutme7129 sometimes it’s not about talent, it’s about the work you put in, ofc talent is something, but talent isn’t everything, who knows, you could be the next person to do such a daunting task a mindblwingly beautiful piece of art.
It's why i said it was a gift from God
Picasso once said: "A work of art is never done, at some point you just stop working on it." Your skill and your technique are amazing!
Picasso also said "I'm going to take a dump"
@Anonymous If you call Picasso's art scribbling then you surely never tried to understand it. If you try to understand in what state of mind he made it, with what perspective and situation only then Ig you might understand why it is 'scribbling'
@@mrinalkarnad13 you only try to understand it because every says it good, if people said it was crap and he wasn't famous, and you saw one of his paintings, you wouldn't look at it twice
Tbh i don't consider Picasso that great
kzhead.infoA2X58mBhf7g?feature=share 🤩
the amount of micro attention to detail without constant reference is unattainable for me, truly a talented artist
The amount of detail in this drawing is insane!
whats the brand of the hand youre using? where can i buy it? 😁
Hardworking
Well you can order one today but it's take 12 years to receive 😋
And brain ...
😂😂😂😂
Ask to his dady
When people see your drawing , they be like : that man's a brilliant photographer
kzhead.infotS9zjPGM8SI?feature=share
😂😂 relatable
Was just going to say he's drawings look like photos, brilliant, so gifted
True😤😤😤
True
its incredible, i dont really understand the weird gummy bear thing in the eye but the drawing is insane.
Right. Thought that was strange too
It's a reflection of a gummy bear that's falling. It's what the person he drew was looking at.
I’m not seeing the ears on the gummy bear. Everything looks crazy realistic 👁️ except the bears face is a little weird 🧐
It's a jelly baby. Very similar if not creepier sweet. Found in South Africa.
Thanks for the info, I knew something was different.
This is most amazing draw I've ever seen in my entire life. Amazing work. Super talented. Keep it up
Every artist knows that feeling when they take a step back and admire their work
@Monarch Booterfly because they know they can do better
True
XD
@@galacticchad2069 my man your eo right
But I can’t cuz my work is… stickman😊 (sad I’m practicing anatomy right now)
These artists are raising the standard so high, I can’t wait for 2040 when they blow it out of the water again
Can't wait for this comment to become a meme where artists just draws some nonsense lines only to get paid in millions of dollars
@@erenjeager2380 this is already happening. It’s called “modern art”
I dont think there will be "2040" to all people..
Art has reached its crescendo in visual area. Artists have been doing hyper realism for a few decades, and realism for centuries. The future is architecture and sculpture
@@theconsciousobserver6829 not at all true my lil muffin. Architecture does need a revival, the sky is the limit with statue, representational painting and drawing still has soooo much to explore. Never saw the point in hyper realism, it is art, you can make anything you think of. I think this on the right track since it is exploring surrealism with hyper realism, it opens up a whole new world to what can be made. You are only limited by your imagination 🐥
I love how you seem to draw details in the details itself. Love your work!
Can we appreciate that how many pencil have lost their lives to give birth to this detailed piece of art. It's really just stunning✨✨
A worthy sacrifice 😇
If only I could give birth like a pencil
@@alphaapple9673 lmao.
Lol
None... Try black paint.
As person that's been diagnosed with ADHD i genuinely envy people who can focus and dedicated their time and power to a single masterpiece like this.
I believe Jono did a video about his own ADHD. Look at his older videos… maybe he released it in 2020.
As someone else with ADHD You can do these kind of things even if you can't sit still the whole time you can get up walk around for an hour and come back to do more. Also personally I find that the motion involved with drawing actually helps similar to how fiddling with your fingers under the table in class in class can help with paying attention to the lesson.
One of the greatest inventor and artist in human history, Da Vinci was thought to have ADHD. Because of he had a lot of unfinished works he never completed and the amount of projects he left behind was a lot. So don’t put yourself down.
I'm not someone diagnosed with adhd but I deff struggle to focus sometimes and I'm also an artist. While a bunch of my projects go unfinished, some I could go back to the next day for months later
ADHD too. today. what I did, do: 10 full-on concentrated vigorous fruity fruity focus creative minutes and off!,next painting next thing next thing..... ideally
This just blows my mind!! You are incredible at this! I would not mind standing around for hours and hours watching you do this amazing artwork!!!
everyone who is into drawing will draw an eye at some point. I have seen thousand of drawings like this one and still this one is very much different and special. love it.
That’s incredible… I can’t even comprehend how a human can do this.
Lots of practice
@@Grounded_HVC No I disagree, Some people never have it no matter how much they try. Everyone has their own unique ability, But most will never even find out what it is during their lifetime.
@@ShaneMcGrath. OK, ur wrong but ok. Source: my personal experience of being an artist. I couldn't draw a stick figure till I went to prison and had nothing but time to practice. Now I can do realism and portraits. Ur speaking from opinion I'm speaking from facts
Workout, plenty of rest, you know eat your green vegetables
@@Grounded_HVC so prison brings out the best of you?
What’s so cool about this is that at the beginning you can see he doesn’t have a beard but at the end of the process he does. It just goes to show how long this actually took!
Omg i just noticed lmao
I only see him clean shaven in some of the b-roll footage. Anything where he is actually drawing, he has a beard.
Have you ever heard about trimming? He had beard all the time.
Please🙏🏻 kzhead.info/sun/nbKmnbVpjayChok/bejne.html
This is the definition of what real talent is. Amazing! 👏
Your art videos make a major difference in my tiny, amateur art world ♥️
I heard that the eyes are the hardest to paint/draw because of the emotions they show that must be realistic. This is a masterpiece. You have the hands of an angel.
Yes it’s very hard
Hands of an angel? You chat shit. The guy is unbelievably talented end of
@@asef698 he's not talented. He has worked hard to get there. You are insulting his hard work by calling him talented.
I hate to break it to you but its not hard to draw bcz of emotions its smthing else lol
Imagine how much time this actually took now Imagine how much love God poured into making your eyes now remember that is only 1 piece of the body he gave you. Jesus loves you.
I can draw realistic when I want to but to go hyper realistic like this takes so much patience. I really admire people who have the dedication to stick to one piece for this long.
My breaking point is 20 hours max. Its important to not lose interest in continuing with the piece, I can't do it after 20 hours
Yes very realistic 🌚
@@lolipoplolipoplolipop3906 what?
Exactly! I have so many unfinished drawings...
Yes very realistic 🌚
It's because of people such as Jono is why I'm a huge fan of Art. Why I started drawing since I was 13 yrs old,and enjoy every minute of it. I will never forget his name,a gentleman who gave me and my sister are first sketch book along with drawing pencils. That gentleman is "Dave". He inspired me and got me more involved with art. When I watch this video I realized how much fun it is to draw and create something you envision. I must say....that is a badass drawing,Jono...good job,bro. 👍
It looks like a picture taken with a camera!!! Blessed hands!! Amazing
Those dislikes are from those who tried to copy him but couldn't succeed But can we appreciate how detailed his work is
I don't like the gummy bear in the eye.. I mean I REALLY dont like it, but I would still give it a like 😂
I Could do way better like no cap
@@chickenman7502 so draw it and send it if u can
What dislikes? We don’t do that around here anymore
You can see dislikes?
I can't even begin to fathom how this guy was able to recreate the iris with its intricate fine details that make it look like clouds when seen from up close. This is truly a skill beyond my understanding.
He did it by drawing it.
@@hzbznajajahag7638 why yes and we breathe oxygen.
Time
Skill and the eighth tools! He truly is a master!
the same way you would draw hair ,only in a Y shape.
What a gift this guy has. Absolutely amazing.
Incredibly phenomenal work. The details within the iris are simply amazing.
As an artist, I can definitely say this is impressive! Making something this big with detail like this is extremely hard because people can see even the slightest mistake when because it’s so big! Amazing!
Do you post your art somewhere?
Well I’ve done a couple art shows and that’s mainly how I promote my art
@@jacquelinesomethingoranoth4040 Can i see anywhere? I will appreciate... I like to support people
Aww that’s really sweet but I normally sell my art through agents and in person… I don’t really do it online because I’ve had some bad experiences…
@@jacquelinesomethingoranoth4040 but you should do something online also and you will definitely get suceed.. There are people who support arts..
"I think it's done. I should stop painting now" and that satisfactory smile, a perfect moment that every artist longs for 😁

Seen this video a couple times now, thought I’d place a message this time. This is so inspiring for me. Absolutely beautiful. Last couple months iv been practicing hyper realism in graphite and I want to get to this level someday. Iv been taking online classes and the instructor advised me to try a giant realism drawing someday so that brought me back to this video. I love how the iris falls in the depths of the pupil. By far my favorite part! Grtz!!
Thank you for sharing, what an amazing piece. I cant stop staring at it. 😮
I won't mind sitting in front of this for hours and hours just to admire every detail of the art and the hard work behind it's just so nostalgic I'm speechless
Thank you so much 🙂 🙏
@@JonoDry Thanks to you who still keep the real and raw passion for the art! The generation should learn from you the importance of art! Not by looking at the price labels on an emotionless art from a museum!❤❤
Repent to Jesus Christ “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Matthew 5:9 NIV J
What makes you feel nostalgic about this current work of art?
@@zachwagner1838 that's what im thinking
The skill it takes to turn a drawing into something the average person would mistake for a photograph ... I mean, the attention to detail is absolutely incredible. Beautiful work!!!
@@rajeshprasad7968 Wow, thanks for sharing!
This is outstanding! The focus on shading and detail is incredible. You have a very special gift, amazing talent sir.
When it was completed it looked more like a photo! Most impressive ever, wow!!
Speechless! Can’t even imagine this is possible! Incredibly talented young man. Bravo 👏🏻!
Thanks so much, Nora 🙏
Op drawing skills
I feel absolitely stunned by the amount of dedication you put into your work, its very inspiring!
@@JonoDry We are watching. So, it can happen to think EASY. But it's not. That only creator knows🤒🤒
Not just talent. Sweat,Tears,Blood
The human eye is so very difficult to conquer. You have obviously, mastered it. Your dedication and skills really go hand in hand. The dimension inside of the eyeball does take a bit of time, but it makes it look all so real. Your talent is remarkable. Thank you for the video of your piece of work.

@Prismarine Man Forever cap
I myself think eyes, lips and water droplets are the easiest things to potrait realistically. However when the scale becomes large (he's using A2 paper i think), the effort, the time, the handwork drastically increases. Therefore this drawing is really remarkable and amusing.
Vry nic. Such a hrd wrk..u made it really beautiful..
Drawing on such a large scale is remarkable with the detail put in.
All I can say is that you have a Devine gift. Thanks for sharing.
How did this only take two months, the amount of dedication this took is so amazing
@@TONY-dq1pk a week? That's impressive. I'd like to see that
Yeah props to this dude, he did his thing
Mom: that boy is gonna be an artist Dad : no he's gonna be a photographer The son :
😂😂
mans became an artographer
First of all I salute you. I think this is the best painting I have ever seen. I can't believe my eyes after seeing it. how can it be so realistic ? You should be proud of yourself. 💕I have never seen such a good painter like you, keep up the good work. 😘
What a beautiful gift you have.
I've watched you create this entire masterpiece from scratch, and yet I still can't quite believe that it's not a photograph. Amazing talent!
The talent is not in him, that's Allah who has made him able, and Allah has given him and us our bodies, so complex that we haven't even explored the whole body, there are different kinds of cells that are yet to be discovered, that's the beauty Allah has created.
@@sabgfx1 wait what!!!!
@@sabgfx1 Whhhaaaattt ttthhhheeeee.......
Indeed
I want to ask a question: what kind of a childhood did you have, were you happy?
The amount of detail that went into this is extremely impressive!! Huge respect to Jono Dry
He is alien , can't beleive human can achieve this
I agree Butthole project starfish. So as in ring or buttholeLike John Cena said in Suicide squad🤾
He woke up and decided to draw in 8K resolution
Yes 😁
@@macdeep8523 aliens don’t west their time drawing pictures.
Absolutly Wonderful!!!!!! Microscopy each parts INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
Every single line of perfection.
You are the most amazing artist I've ever seen. This is like pure magic.
Me too 😉😘
Mmmmmmm i can do better
@@fabriziaserao8232 That’s funny
This blew my mind….. the amount of detail and shading and talent is impeccable. 🤯
Thank you so much, Victoria! 🙏
@@JonoDry How do you stabilize the picture? Apply a thin coat of something to stop the migration of graphite?
Op
This shows what Art is. This is better than modern Art. A modern Art which looks like a kid throw bunch of paint all over canvas
Why did you choose to draw a gray-ish gummi-bear on the eye's iris? Is there a story behind that? BEAUTUFUL WORK, btw❤
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL
I have no words to appreciate your drawing
I have witnessed many artist preform their magic over my 70 years.. But you my friend I think surpass most all of them... Brilliant!
Wait u 70! and u on yt that’s weird
@@nyx-edits3935 Tell me about... I almost got on to social media until it said "Whoa.. you're way to old go back!"
@@tinkmarshino your 70? That’s so cool!
@@pasteljade3622 not when I get up in the morning.. ;-) But than you my dear..
@@tinkmarshino no problem haha! I also subscribed : D
"I think it's done" I'm an artist myself. Most people would just marvel at how beautiful this looks. But for me, I can actually relate to the long tranquil and sometimes stressful process completing and artwork usually is. Nothing is better than standing back, looking at it and appreciating it when it's complete.......damn.
Absolutely 🙌
So true for me I don't even notice how good it looks until its done
SO TRUEEE!
Perfectly expressed my feelings😄
I ditto that !
There’s no words to describe this. 👏
Absolutely breathtaking!
The amount of talent people have.....it leaves me speechless.....this is just PERFECTION
It's not talent- it's practice
@@0Josipa0 well to be deemed talented you have to practice…so this is talent
The gummie was the best reveal I've seen on KZhead in a while. LOL Such great work. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
kzhead.infotS9zjPGM8SI?feature=share
The level of patience need in this is just incredible I will not Mind just seeing it to be drawn
Wow, your so unbelievably talented! Im literally mouth open speechless right now! Crazy ability yo!
Sometimes when I see a thumb down on these amazing artwork, I think people just do it just because they can...this is is just beautiful and skillfully done 👍
@@ajitasingh2640 Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
That or jealousy in some form, people hate to see other’s accomplishments sometimes
No more thumbs down
Well, now we can't see the thumbs down
@Mom's Spaghetti ok...I will give that percentage the benefit of the doubt 🤔😏
This eye is more original than the original eye itself!!
Where can I find the original eye photo?
Omg, gorgeous, Creative in all respects drawing, photography, transmission and all things👏
There is so depth in his eyes!!!!
As someone that draws stickmen illustrations, I am both intimidated and incredibly inspired by this 😭. Thank you Jono
@Digby Dooright too add a surealistic element to the art that makes it stand out from the others and it’s not just a mere copy of reference.
To someone who can draw like this, saying "I can only draw stickmen" isn't a compliment. We don't feel great when someone else sucks at art.
@@stratocheese I think I found your instagram. Your art is alright, but you definitely can't 'draw like this.' It's orders of magnitude worse sorry.
@@accomplisheddiplomat4091 You have the right to your opinion. Have a wonderful day :)
@Stratocheese yeah you definitely can't draw like this man He's on another level
wooow so beautiful
Thank you so much 🙂
How much time it took*** ?
Damn
Ahammm
A Master and his Piece . Pure talent! Many thanks for sharing
Absolutely brilliant art. I bet, no one can go back without liking this video.
Think I’ll stick to fishing because your the god of the pencil bro

This attention to detail & contrasting drives me up the wall. I've been drawing since 98 & I'm nowhere close to something like this. I've gone to art school but sucked at it cause I can't copy images they want me to sketch. I can only just let loose & creations come out of nowhere. Like a child's imaginations at random. This was an amazing job. Your lucky!
Tutor makes us do both, she also gets us to try out other artists methods / styles. I will KNOW l'm an artist when l understand/have my MY style ,l think/hope.
your mind stores such a huge amount of concepts humans are wonderful sometimes, very inspiring
This is absolutely stunning. From start to finish stunning. 🙏🙌
Man I love watching artists being immersed in their work. Makes me want to get back into my gift as well. Masterful work man.
The gift of giving ?
@@carletouk gift of artwork.
Photorealistic drawings are always mind blowing. Imagine the skills it takes to draw like this
This is a masterpiece!!! This is not something that isearned you are born with it and keep digging more and more into this
Amazingly gorgeous!
Many people got talent and possess the capability, but the one who realises it and practices hard to achieve his full potential is the one who succeeded. This is indeed a masterpiece. Respect for his dedication.
Honestly, you’re the most underrated artist on KZhead. You deserve at least 3 million subs right now

No pencils were harmed in the production of this masterpiece
If I hadn't seen the lengthy process of creating the artwork , I would have believed it was a photograph. You are truly gifted. You seem to have a creative and photographic memory.
This is shockingly beautiful.

@@cairnserelli72 that's not how a reflection looks like though
Yes that an a whole set of other skills... Let's say he is just good at drawing :P It takes more then just a photographic memory to make a good drawing. He is also familiar with a myriad of skillful techniques.
@AntiCringe It's a Jelly Baby, not a Gummy Bear.

Impressive talent, detication and hard work. Great piece of art.
Oh my goodness...health to those hands for creating such a masterpiece ✨ I just couldn't believe what I watched! My mind is still processing that it's a real painting and not a photograph.
Nothing is perfect, But your masterpiece changed my perception 💫
It's not perfect, but it's beautiful.
As someone who can't draw a uniform stick figure properly, this is honestly beyond amazing. This has to be one of the highlights of my time on the internet. I will never understand those who have the power to visualize something in their mind, and project it onto canvas and paper. Absolutely mind-blowing. Infinite respect to the creator of this masterpiece.
