People often do not realize how hard it is to be an artist. They all think we have talent, but what they do not realize is all the hard work behind the work they see. So many hours are spent practicing, fighting against our inner critic, and so many obstacles along the way. Fortunately, awesome artists like you are showing the world that it is not all sunshine and roses. There are thorns we need to all deal with as artists, but it is these thorns that make us stronger and grow. Thank you for showing this Jono. I know it is not easy, but you are doing fantastic work that is truly inspiring to other artists like me. Keep up the great work and know that we love you, even when your sun is not always shining the way you want it to. Hugs.
Thanks so much, Sandra 🙏 😊
Get off the cross martyr > that’s not art > art = life
When we surrender and find the joy in things it becomes easy. Then inspiration is free to flow. What you resist persists so letting go of all self criticism and trusting the process is everything. It took me years to realize it could and should feel easy. 💖🦋✨
And now with ai photoshopping artists works some people are now stating to under-appreciate visual and aesthetic talent itself.
but the video is about a different thing. When you draw for yourself - its one thing. When you draw for someone else - and the filming of the process is also for someone else - then of course this is where the outter pressure comes from, and it dictates you what to do. But also, filming is money making, business. No matter what you do, if you are filming it and making money of it - you never 100% do what you want. It is relevant to any profession, art is not special here.
I am an artist myself, and ~10 years ago was publishing art on internet a lot, getting some millions of views in total, but at some point of time I noticed that I worry about likes, comments, followers, marketing, much more, than about drawing what I really want to draw. And it was when I just stopped pleasing the audience and left art for myself.
Now I have another fulltime job, where I earn a lot and have built a career, which is totally fine for me. I still draw as a hobby, and sell/gift art once in a while, but important thing is that I can draw whatever and however I want, and I have enough free time and motivation for it. Not 16 hours a day of course, but still a plenty.
What I am trying to say is that filming and marketing, and pleasing the viewers overall, is not mandatory for being artist. It is a choice, that nobody forces you to make other than yourself. You can be a great artist without it
Both your graphite AND your videography are art in their own ways. But if you ever feel like you are getting burnt out by one or the other, don't forget that they don't always have to be tied directly to each other
Thanks, Shannon! I actually started a second channel exactly because of this ruclips.net/channel/UCE0XzToWls28Dxzz3jVVnXA 🙂
@@JonoDry how did I miss this?! Hahaha
@@JonoDry you are an inspiration sir❤
You've been a wonderful teacher. If it's time to set some healthy boundaries, so be it. Go where your creativity guides you.
Appreciate that so much, Paula 🙏
Thank you for this video - Everyone who has tried to film their own work goes through the same struggles that you mention. Whether it is worth it - depends upon the artist. . . in the end it is never easy
Exactly
The flow is the flow. And it can get interrupted so easily by having to decide your brain into many “Flows” at the same time.
Your work is absolutely impeccable 💎🙏🏼
Ya it's actually true , when you start filming your art work it's more difficult to stay focused or explore our true potential.Anyway don't stop this ✨ because there is a great amount of people who learn from creaters like you like me . Thank you brother 💫
I can attest to this, before i started my channel my drawing felt loose, free and unafraid to make mistakes, now its more structured, worried about ruining the piece or the filming aspect, however the pay off at the end when its completed is worth it.
100% 👌
Is the pay off worth it? In what way do you mean if you dont mind me asking?
I have been really thinking about this as I started a small channel a couple of months ago. One of the things that I was very clear with myself is that I am not, and wont be, a RUclipsr that creates content around art but an artist that creates a video every now and then.
I do not enjoy the filming process at all. I havent decided yet if I will ever show my face on the channel either.
Time will tell I guess :)
I can fully relate to this video. Even though I love the outcome of filming my drawing processes and to have the opportunity to look back on them and share the videos on youtube, it's sometimes quite challenging and interrupts the flow of just sitting down and draw.
Absolutely!
Always leave room for your dreams to grow & evolve with you. Many of my childhood dreams aren’t at all applicable anymore to no fault in them or me. Life is always changing,...& so must our dreams.
I love the you tell i do pencil drawings...
They are amazing
True! Very true!..
Can absolutely attest to this
Your vulnerability is applauded. I know that struggle. Super relatable. Your work and edits are fantastic.🤙
As a painter I can relate to what you said about changing the SD cards. It becomes a distraction
Beautiful work and well explained. I used to love sharing my nail art and manicures on instagram and even that became way too much of a burden. Now I can just paint my nails and not have to set up the lights, take pictures, edit and compose a caption with a million hashtags, then save it to post the next morning. Makes it much more enjoyable. I can't imagine how burdensome and procrastination-inducing it'd be to film my art making process, even if I was a full time professional at it.
This is very true. I'm working on a art channel, and it makes the entire process completely different. This showed me what I was getting into, and I have similar feelings about the film process.
Damn you are so good at art..
Bro mind blowing💨💨
Keep it up❤
I am a subscribers now
my guy i subbed you 💯
@@saransh630 Thank you, I really appreciate it!
@@riyasharma7030 Thanks! 😊
Try something original at least
I just got recommended this video on my feed and I feel so seen, even as a small artist. I’m also currently struggling with recording myself without disrupting my art flow while having fun with film to tell an interesting story! It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only one who feels the frustration. Hopefully i’ll find a way to make it work for me. With that said, Your art and video quality is AMAZING! 😍
Thank you for sharing that part of an artist journey, it takes enormous amount of practice or even years to reach certain level of aesthetics , thank you for highlighting that side, also I admire your patience because your work flow requires dedication!
As long as you love what you are doing Jono things will fall into place. Never loose your passion for drawing, you have done so well in what journey you have set out on. I have enjoyed watching you all the way. I always thought I would be the same, working with a coffee and rain hitting the window. Working alone does have its good and bad points I've learnt with my studio. Your videos take me to where you are with your work. Seeing where you are in time creates a new feeling and helps aid in artist blocks. Thank you Jono for taking the time with all the details that go in behind the scenes and appreciate what goes into ones day and work :)
Really you are the true inspiration
Considering starting an artchannel on here myself, so an honest look behind the scene was actually super helpful, TY!
Wishing you all the best on your new venture!
I really been watching you for a long time and your artworks just change my whole mindsets😇
Thank you for sharing your troubles and how you've adapted. People tend to see the work and maybe a little of the artist working, but they really don't get the process. Yes, inspiration happens, but you need to achieve flow on your terms to consistently produce your best. That's a skill and art of its own.
Well said, Michael!
Jono Dry, any chance of a "Tips and tricks to get into and stay in a state of art flow (despite your chaotic surroundings)" video?
Man, I know nothing about filming or art or anything, really, but if something ain't working, you either fix it or change it out. Just draw! All will flow. Guaranteed
Your learning experiences shared, compound themselves with every person you inspire and help through the brutal business of the art world. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and views. I am no pro, but I am inspired by your work, due diligence and authenticity. Please keep filming and creating. You have made this persons dreary reality just a little bit better. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, Michael. I appreciate your support 🙏
You're living your dream bro. Keep going. And lets live in gratitude.
just so grateful you show your work in such detail and honesty. but hope u can take breaks from filming to just enjoy and get in the flow again. i once forgot my phone when i went to work, and i felt so free and even looked out the window and experienced my surroundings more deeply. it is good to take break from technology
🎼thank you for that reflective video! For me as a singer filming processes might get me into that feeling being "watched" by the camera in first instance as later by the auditorium. I feel like I only should film for defined purposes which I mentally prepare for (which of course needs all the attention you described). I already often felt distracted.
All the rest of our precious time may be in flow where we grow and expand ❤🔥
Hi Jono... OH my how this video resonates with me but it's very enlightening and encouraging to know that someone of your calibre has struggled with similar issues... I thought it was just me! It's certainly a steep learning curve when attempting to film oneself and the constant interruptions do disturb flow, but the way in which you describe offsetting the benefits is inspiring so bless you once again for your continued selfless support of our community.. I got a lot from this video and thank you kindly 🙏
Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it 🙏🙂
Love your work man! It rivals some of the best oil paintings I've seen and made me rethink how I feel about using dry media! I was one of those people who couldn't wait to get my hands on a paint brush, an airbrush, tablet ect! But this is so inspiring for kids or anyone thinking of spending large sums of money on supplies. Invest in different degrees of graphite, and charcoal pencils! Bristol and illustration board being about the most expensive . This is a great way to get started ,and like I said, sometimes just looks even better than an actual painting! Much respect man God bless!👍✌️💯
I Love seeing you live your dream!!!! I Love your studio and all of your art work Maestro!!! Keep doing what you do!!!
Thanks for your support 🙏
waiting to see your new art work
You’re wonderfully intelligent and professional. I can definitely relate, as the quality of my original videos on my channel in terms of film technique and accuracy of telling the story of the process are better than now. I will slowly try to get back to that but refuse to let it take away too much from the actual creative process of the art itself. But knowledge and technology help! Thanks for sharing this and your work!
Can I just say. Your work is truly astounding. You have such a gift. Not just for drawing, but the art that you create. I jist checked out your work in Instagram. I'm blown away. And that's been quite hard to do. Iv been consuming so much art recently in the hopes of feeling inspiration again. Stress and depression which used to be my muse has finally taken its toll on me creatively. No more inspired ideas, no flow state. But your work has me feeling inspired for the first time in months. Thank you for that. Truly. I really hope one day I can own one of your works of art. They are beautiful. They have soul and meaning. Kudos to you friend 👏
That your work is inspiring almost goes without saying ( even the gifted need affirmation once in a while😉) but I'd like to tell you how much your emotional honesty about this industry has helped me look at things with less naive eyes. Even after all these years I still struggle with imposter syndrome and hearing you calmly explain what you go through from day to day in all the different aspects of being a professional creative has helped me stay on track. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Lou. Really appreciate your support 🙏
I'm so grateful for being able to watch your work. I have a muscle disease that creates challenges in my artistic desires. Watching you grants such peace of mind and continued love of art. Thank you for the hours of joy
So true! thanks for the insight.
Thanks for watching 🙂
Bro, if u ask me you deserve more subscribers your work is so amazing…
L❤️VE it…
I can't lie, I just started RUclips. and I Realised this SAME thing. I wasn't enjoying drawing as much when doing time lapses. those were my first few videos. worrying about alot of things and focusing on them took me out the drawing, Plus they were Abit boring to watch myself, they took forever to shoot, and edit when you have cuts in between, I didn't feel like the art was the quality I wanted, but the quality I was okay shooting. I started to find ways around this myself and shoot in different ways. adopting different techniques to showing my art, enjoy my journey on RUclips, shooting, and still love drawing myself.
Amazing video ✌🏽❣️
much love
Love from India Sir 🖤
I have an a fantasy drawing channel and I’m always interested in what others who are successful in their journey go through down the road. It was nice to hear it’s still fun even though it has its challenges! Thanks for what you do.
I really love your Art. It really inspired me.❤️❤️🥺
Thank you for your honesty 🙏🏼
You are so cool and your art it's breathtaking really 😊😊
I am living my dream through you in a way, I came to drawing late in life and just when I was improving serious health issues curtailed the process. So I follow you and others on RUclips as a consolation, keep up the good work.👍
Wow so beautiful drawing 😍 ❤️ 💕
Thank you so much 😀
I would suggest you a good mirrorless Camera, like the Fuji X-Pro 3. Here, you have the option to set the shutter to »Electric« and make it pretty much muted.
I couldn't agree more with you, Jono! It's so distracting and quite annoying sometimes, when you have to break that peaceful concentration and be constantly aware of your tech gadgets and from time to time run into an unexpected result... posting an art video is a lot more work than people think.
Agree 100%, Leila 🙂
Hugely appreciate this video 💚
Thanks so much for watching, Joe!
Thanks so much for sharing! It will be good to find a nice in between.
big fan really awesome art works
Appreciate your support 🙏
@@JonoDry thank you very much for reply sir
Thank you for all that you do. It’s really painstaking and you gotta lose some to win some. More power to your Art
Appreciate that 🙏
It’s strange how we tend to muck up our dreams . And how something as small as filming eats more into dreams than we ever thought possible. Sometimes back to basics is Great with that cup of tea and rain on the window
I get what you are saying I recently tried filming myself and found it was too distracting.
Hey your art is amazing I'm just wow so talented and your filming has shared some techniques and skills for others to learning just amazing keep it up films of such great quality
Thank you so much, Mike 😀
The irony that this video found me right in the midst of uploading a new video myself… All of this resonates with me so much. Every single one of these ideas, I’ve thought on. I love creating art so much, but this process of being able to document and share it often has me thinking it’s a double edged sword. It’s especially tough starting out, when you put so much time and effort into being able to share that process and then, a small handful of people actually engage. (Every single one I am so grateful for) That part at least, gets better with consistency and finding new meaning in sharing it, to begin with. There is comfort in knowing that there are others out there who understand, and even the “bigger” fish struggle with these things. It’s part of the process and that added struggle can only add to the value of it all in the end.
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing, Keri 🙂
This video is super interesting... Even though I haven't posted any art videos, I've been recording myself for a while. I don't think it takes me out of the flow state; it's just another step in the process for me. I can go right back to painting after changing a battery or sd card. It probably helps that my camera is much closer as I draw smaller pieces, so I don't have to physically move to do so. I also keep extra charged batteries and sd cards on the side of my desk so I don't have to get up.
I'm saving up for an external battery with cord for my camera, maybe that's an option for you? It doesn't solve all of the problems, but it's one less thing to worry about.
Thank you for this honest and deep insight.💐
Thanks for watching, Peter!
Wow
time laspes reminds me of BMPC. my BMPC had timelapse without time limit. you just need to set how many fps per min? and hit record and it wont stop until the SSD is full + it can run on external 12v powersource. I did 9day timelapse nonstop once. but just once. not because I wanted to do 9days but because i wanted to do 3 days but forgot to hit stop.
Really love this and can DEFINITELY relate!!!
🙌
you are successful because you are soooo professional!
Relatable!
I came to the conclusion it wasn’t worth the time it takes to film my work. I’m not young enough to waste any time. I’m glad you were honest and explained that this is not easy, even though you make it look effortless.
Jono, thank you so much for making this! I’ve recently started filming my work to try to make videos and I’ve run into all the problems you stated! It’s really tough trying to film alone in the way that I’d like to while trying to give my pieces the attention I usually would when I’m more consistently in the zone. I’ve always wondered how you got through those early timelapses you did without a team and made them look so effortless lol - so thanks for sharing that it was indeed challenging. It’s very cathartic and I have a renewed sense of the worth of going through that struggle 🙂. Creating good work is one thing, but sharing the work in a way that compliments it is important as well. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for your work over the years. I’m constantly inspired :)
Thanks so much, Daryl! Wishing you all the best with filming your work 🙌
thanks for sharing
@Jono Dry I know you posted this video a while ago, and with as many subs as you have I'm sure you have a ton of comments to read so I really do hope this comment reaches you. I think I can help with your filming woes, at least in terms of filming continuously as to not interrupt your flow. Storage of your raw footage/final edits will always be something you have to deal with - but with most cameras nowadays you can set up a V-Mount or Gold Mount battery with your camera via a D-Tap dummy battery and that can lengthen your filming time substantially. This is how nature timelapse photographers operate so they are not constantly having to swap out smaller batteries like you described when they're catching things like sunrises, sunsets and other natural phenomena that has to be filmed over the course of several hours. As far as swapping out your SD cards constantly because they're filling up, cameras like the BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K can record directly to an external SSD, so if you were already going to edit off of an SSD or hard drive, you can just opt for the one you're recording to instead. There are a lot of ways to prolong your recording sessions without having to constantly swap out cards and batteries. Hopefully my comment gives you what you need to research a solution that will work best for you and make producing the beautiful content that you do a bit easier. Thanks for everything you do for us.
Thank you for this! 🙂
Ive always struggled filming my work. Ive done so a small handful of times over the years but whenever i do im mostly conscious of it and it affects what im doing usually resulting in mistakes, or i switch off and get into the task at hand then realise hours later the camera stopped filming along time ago and i simply forgot about it. I like the idea of being able to film myself working but the practically for myself makes it a pain. At best I end up producing some low quality short clip of me messing a painting up lol (I think i have examples of such on my channel here i uploaded so as to post elsewhere, as you can see how bad they are lol)
What a wonderful video and drawing! I wonder why so less views it has.
Vc passa calma e tranquilidade obrigada por dividir sua arte e seus processos
Parabéns pelas peças que vc cria.
Maravilhoso 👏
Its beautiful man; keep going. I want to do this for myself, my practice is architecture but i struggle with the technical side of lighting it right. I would love to hear more of your process on filming and how you taught yourself if thats the case. 👍👍
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris 🙂
Your voice is soothing
trying to show flow gets you out of it.
observing something changes it.
I guess you can build a setup with plugged in cameras connected to some external drives to resolve some of those problems.
we really do need an artist camera
Great video!
Thanks, Rudolph!
Thank you. You just saved a lot of people lives. We are much. Better than even our desires but the Word says it is a way thAt seemth right unto a man but its end is destruction. I wanted to get into recording as a rebirth back into drawing I had neglected for disturbing reasons. It was going to be a very monumental moment because of those emotional reasons that I literally thought I had lost it. Even though I celebrated it secretly when seeing others I thought i personally lost it. Im glad that I couldn't yet share because i have a lot to workout with my direction because of AI. Can't just be good or even great. It much be complete and continual
How You Filming Your Art Crushed MY Art Dreams. After seeing what you do, I'll hang up my easel and take up knitting or something
Jono, I love your work, it’s incredibly inspiring. I have two questions, if I may. What lighting or light box do you recommend to provide good light for both drawing and filming, and what camera do you use to film your Timelapses?
When you have enough to live your life completely, set yourself free.
Too bad-I hope you get better soon.
This is what stops me filming. Maybe I can process this and move past it but.. I just don't want my work to degrade due to the sharing process
you just said everything and you said it just right 😛
Sir, do you shoot in log profile
I’m a 22 year old artist to be honest I still consider myself an amateur in the art world to be honest it’s been hard trying to find a place that I fit and I’m basically just lost at this moment do you have any advice for that I feel like I can be doing more but I don’t feel like I’m good enough to do more
Keep practicing even if it doesn't feel like you're making progress, you are!
❤
The most annoying thing about reels on Instagram is making them. You wanna just draw, but gotta record every step or whatever.
Sir please can you make sketch of a dragon🙂
hire a full film crew
Can't you run your cameras off of external power and feed the video to larger, external hard drives? Video camera have been doing this since forever.....not sure why this is an issue for you. Sure you'll have to buy more equipment but it's worth it if it gets you back to the flow you seek. Just my $.02
I'd be really interested to know how you got this good? How did you study and practice to acquire such a high level of pencil drawing? ...did you study and practice? I'm assuming 😂
Thanks, Jacob! I am self-taught. Lots and lots of practice 😁
@@JonoDry I'd really love to know how you self taught yourself! A video for the future maybe? It's just so incredible that you got this amazing from teaching yourself! I'd love some pointers on doing the same (even if just to get started!) I think your art is beautiful!!
aww mannn its okey when i'll be rich i'll fund your art
❤️
There’s better devices to record yourself with!
Feel free to message me and we can set up a time to talk about better set up so that you’re not interrupted during your filming!
Remember video games streamers record for hours and hours on end…
Love your work start following you
I'm doing a channel to really just help motivate myself - but I admit - you find yourself checking to see if anyone else has subscribed lol...what has this taught me? That I have more of an ego than I thought..or maybe that I crave some sort of validation or praise? dunno:) Whatever it is - it's not good lol...
10:51 am
why dont you use a computer and an external hard drive to save your timelapses and draw however you like (creating should be fun) or just stop making videos.? ;)
😍😍😍😍🎨
Was thinking of doing a art channel but do really care to show my art. Soo yeah talking smack I still draw every day
It sounds like you don’t need to film every part of your creation. The work that you put in and the result should already reflect this, be it the energy, the process and the message. And also the interpretation of your work by someone can come in many ways, rather than by being a spectator of your creation process. It’s good for our entertainment but do you really need this? The idea of art creation is about flow, and about a process, but it should always be organic. It should be a dance and the artwork you create as a partner that can be unpredictable, this way your work will push and evolve rather than be stuck in the same way because of the filming constrains you. I feel you really need to unfetter this link with the social media side. The people that see your work connect with your work already on so many levels, maybe you don’t need to always be so transparent as you seem to be so affected by this external framework or maybe prison of sorts you created for yourself.
I used to get frustrated while drawing when it wouldn't give me the results that were in my head. However, now imagining the process of your drawings, I started increasing my patience level.
❤️
