Tell the person in your reply that if he is trying to make you feel bad he has failed because such a thing cannot work on you again.
You have overgrown that and you no longer think too much about what people say just because the person wants to make you feel bad.
I guess you are not enjoying what I am doing, I will find a new audience
You may be doing so well already, but because the person does not appreciate and enjoy what you are doing he will call you dry. This is one thing you need him to understand.
Let him know that you are doing well already and it is not ok if he does not enjoy what you do. Let him know that you are going to find an audience that will appreciate your work.
Let the person know this, watch how your newly found audience will find your work interesting.
Can’t you appreciate someone for once?
This reply shows that the person barely appreciates people and you need to let him know that. Even if he does not appreciate the art, at least he should give some words of encouragement.
Once you give him this reply he will understand that you are drawing his attention to the fact that he needs to learn how to appreciate people and talents.
I am not dry, you are just jealous
Sometimes it may be that you are good but someone can deliberately say that you are dry just because the person is jealous of you. The person sees you as someone who is better than him, but he does not want to admit it because of his jealousy.
He will prefer to call you jealous just to bring you down and hope that you will feel down. Once you notice that the person is just jealous, let him know in your reply that he is just jealous.
I am funnier than you can ever think

You find it hard to appreciate talent when you see one
This type of person hardly gets impressed when he sees a good talent and he finds it difficult to say that you are good when he sees that you are good. With a reply like this, the person will have a rethink.
He will understand that he is supposed to know how to appreciate talent when he sees it. If he sees that you are talented, he should say it, instead of calling you dry. Let him know that he is supposed to know how to appreciate talent when he sees one.

If he tells you that you are dry, let him know that he is just angry that you look like what he hopes to become. He may be upset that you are growing better than he is.
What is dry to one may not be dry to another
What someone else likes is way different from what another person likes. If the person thinks that you are dry, another person may not think the same. The fact that he said you are dry does not mean that other people think you are dry too.
Let him know this in your reply so that he will understand that even though he thinks that you are dry, others will not think you are dry.
I will get better

Let me take a look at myself to see why someone would say that
You wonder why someone would say that you are dry so you want to take a look at yourself to know why the person is calling you dry.
