would prefer to hear his voice with subs than a voice actor... the real story telling is from the person themselves... no one else can replicate that...
you guys should have touched on the fact that MILLIONS of humans cannot visualize in their heads. its not something you can learn, you are born with it or you aren't.
@@FeedMeSalt Visualizing is a skill not an ability. Go watch movies or read books(books work especially well).
@@kevine9474 No actually it's literally something you are born able too do or not. And you cannot ever change that. Its a litteral disability.
Called aphantasia.
I read constantly as a child, never realized people actually SAW what they were thinking until highschool art class. Teacher called it bullshitt until I got tested.
If you can't do it even a little you never will.
Example, I have never seen a purple elephant in my life, I cannot create that image.
I can't see a new Christmas tree in my head I can't picture the tree then one by one add decorations, only memories of old ones as information. Rarely I'll have a general idea of the image but it's not something you can change.
I know my old family tree was white with blue decor.
But again, I can't picture that in some 3d space.
My dreams are almost always memories as well, never have I ever dreamed a place I haven't been.
Anyway, many people litteraly don't have a minds eye.
@@FeedMeSalt Hi! If you are still interested in this, a quick search will lead you to this video, by Proko (with a host that has aphantasia) that gives insight and advice on how to go about drawing without being able to visualize in their heads ( link: ruclips.net/video/LWgXSxxEjgs/видео.html ). The reason they did not touch on this is probably because people who cannot visualize mentally are the outliers not the norm, so it probably wasn't on their radar at the time of recording. There are materials on RUclips that people with this affliction can use for free.
This was the video that introduced me to Kim Jung Gi. The confidence he showed through his live shows were always awe-inspiring. You will be missed.

Kim Jung Gi's playing 4d chess in his mind palace when he draws.
and talk at the same time
While playing the chess, he also considers how the perspective will affect how he draws the game
hahaha ... if were only that easy
Unironically, that’s how I would describe the drawing process xD

Edit: Y'all getting offended in the comments for no reasons bruvs. IK HE DID DRAWING FOR FUN, THIS IS JUST A JOKE GOSH
@Sr. Boi Olla I mean, it could be. It's estimated that it takes about 10.000 hours of practice to "completely" master an ability like drawing, dancing and so on. So depending on your amount of daily practice it might take decades. Of course, even after 10.000 hours there is still a lot of room to grow but that's supposed to be where you start to be something like a "master".
Lol!! True!

@Eden Alaneme UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND (LENNY FACE)
When I saw that he was coming to paris my hometown for the first time in 10 years I immediatly seized the opportunity to go watch his work at the gallery, but I got much more than that, I saw him drawing live in front of us, with an alien facilty, I even got the chance to get one of his very last signed sketchbook.
I couldn't be more happy, I told all my friend "come ! Come to the gallery see his work, it might a once in a lifetime opportunity !" If only we knew, he was there standing in front of all of us full of joy sympathy and sharing drawing advices and good jokes, an less than 72 hours later he was gone, still unable to realize.
But what I can say today is an gigantic thank you to this awesome master that gave us (and will) so much inspiration, and on a more personal note, surely one of the most precious objects in my artist life, a drawing in his book that I will keep forever.
Thanks for everythink master.
Thanks for sharing this memory. It's truly a sad day and huge loss.
Love from India. I could hug you brother. To me personally, he was an irreplaceable talent, a mutant, an alien, a god of sorts. Losing him this early was painful.
Your reverence is giving me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing this story and for telling your friends! Good on you
God bless this man and his crazy method to his madness.
I really wish more people would stop being depressed about their art and just kept drawing, rather than idolising this guy who is a normal human being but had enough spike in his character to train himself. He’s at this level because he didn’t sit around complaining about how demotivated he is. Rather he put that energy into getting better.
Underrated comment
Yes man you are definitely right
Best comment
@Asher Mones artists on social media are whiny, petty, and egocentric
Keep in mind that there are a lot of people in the art community that have mental issues/illness. It may come across as complaining, but in reality there is something deeper there. Executive dysfunction, for example, is a hard demon to beat by "just do it" methods.
I honestly can’t believe I can receive such quality information for free. This is literally life changing for me. Thank you Proko, you’re a god sent to the art community.
I know right, I used to regret dropping out of art school, lmao.
Same for me here 😳😁

This guy can sketch a comic book in a day lol
True imao
Yeah but that day took what...15 years. He blows my little mind
a comic book is just a square :D
I actually watch hem do that in his Facebook live stream 2 or 3 times in a week .
He makes a full page in a half hour . He makes 2 or 3 pages and ends the live stream with lesson about his style of drawing and how he made it .
The comic book that he draws is called (spy games ) . I can't buy comics because thay don't exist in my country but it is a great thing that I can watch this guy make art .
ruclips.net/video/xSq4MxjkQT8/видео.html
The more I watch him draw I realize that drawing just makes him happy. He really loves it. That how he got so far. Not from being analytical or overthinking. Purely from the love of drawing.
He says in the video "it's important to draw a lot, but its more important to understand what you're drawing" I think analysis is a big part of what gets him results
yep, you get it. the thing people tend to miss with KJG is focusing on the nuts and bolts of "how to draw". it's mostly not about how to draw...it's about the skill underneath drawing, and that's how to *see* - with and without your eyes. this type of drawing is a (imo) spiritual practice of strengthening your focus, attention, and visual imagination, and you don't get there without a true love and interest in observing and visualizing everything you can imagine. the funny thing is, "daydreaming" like this is a skill we all possess to perfection as kids, but we lose it as we grow up. when he's talking about "floating the image in your mind", that's the type of stuff that requires daily practice. at first, it's hard to even hold a simple, un-detailed object in your mind's eye, without it popping in and out of existence - it's less of an image, and more of a concept. but as you train to "see" more and more, you can go from that fuzzy conceptual image to "walking around" a head or car in your mind, to placing yourself inside a cohesive, detailed scene, and observing it in all its detail.
this is the work that's going to get you where KJG is. the drawing itself is a means to an end, but the true meat of the practice is strengthening that ability to imagine and understand form. if you're drawing without really focusing on the form and substance of what you're drawing, it's not gonna help you. thankfully, it's something you can practice all day, everyday, in any kind of situation, whether you have a pencil in your hand or not.
See may artwork here because of watching kim jung gi

Excellent advice. I’m going to take that to heart. Thanks
I was looking up his name to look at his amazing art and found out he passed.. rest in piece dude. his arts so unique bro
30 years ago an old artist from holland told me that in his mind he gets small and walks around the objects or scene and thats how he draws or paints !! He was really great too
What was his name?
Antouis Raemaker
Nah,that was just an "analogy".
Oddly enough that's how I approach it. Become part of the scene.

Rest well Kim Jung Gi, one of my most inspiring artists out there. Thank you so much for sharing your artwork throughout the many years.
The box thing got me. Like really got me.
It made my brain spin around a couple of turns and I tested it. I was drawing my phone charger as I saw it on my desk, while imagining how it was positioned in a box. Then I put it away and proceeded to use that first drawing and the imaginary box to draw the charger from multiple different perspectives. And freaking hell, it works!
To me, it felt like a big old bulb lighten up in my head. I've never been to art school, so if this is "perspectives 101", I have missed out on a lot XD
Same here i had an eureka moment. I still have a LOooOooT to learn tho.
@@luthfilhadiyasin277 you just picture the car as a smaller object and picture a box around it. You can also try filling in the negative space in the box.
I was just thinking about that, like the box thing really made sense to me
Luthfil Hadi Yasin you can also, like they teach in artschool, break them down into simpler shapes, put them into the box and then add the details, but just starting to sketch like Kim is not possible (at least for me)
I never went either, mostly because my high school classes taught me jack shit over the 4 years I took them. Everything I learned was taught by myself and RUclips videos.
If someone ever robbed this guy he would just draw his face and give it to the police
Holy crap

"just an analogy" is what you think, the man literally astral projects

Anyone can do it. You also need to focus on how he astral projects and remembering the key elements you see and start sketching those images. Its like quantum Jumping into your style in the form of his style...if that makes any sense?

"when I look at my drawings from kindergarten, I was using 1- or 2-point perspective without knowing it"
how on earth is anyone supposed to compete with this man
You dont have to, find your own reasons for doing art. If youre only goal is to be KJG you never gonna draw anything interesting anyway since youre just aping someone else.
Kuro the Rabbit it’s not that outlandish. I never understood perspective when we were first being taught in class. The next year I was subconsciously doing all of my perspective assignments better than anyone. Even though he knew it at a much younger age, perspective is something that’s actually not that hard and you can use it without knowing it
We're just not meant to. This man inspires me every day and I'd love to be even half as good as him at some point
ruclips.net/video/7fG0CDpy_0c/видео.html
Esref Armagan is a really cool guy! He was born without eyes, but can paint and draw in perspective. Check him out if you're curious! :D
INFINITF2 That’s a stupid way to think. This man has worked really hard to get where he is. There’s no magical way to improve. He is not some God that nobody can reach his level. If you can work as hard as him if not more, you can do as well as him
he was a legend, a humble master of his craft who inspired millions. i wish i had the honour of attending one of his classes but i am grateful to have been able to atleast see videos of his wonderful lessons. he'll be missed, a true one of a kind
The most impressive thing is that he draws completely by heart, no guidelines. It's insane.
He literally said that he draws guidelines, the cross contour lines. The lines of clothing and stitching, the angle of the helmet, the mouth. Those are the guidelines.
@@georgiarose9730 he hides them within the drawing, which is kinda equally impressive tbh.
@@blackbird8837 Well yes ... and no. When you take drawing classes you will see a lot of different approaches by different people. Some draw the outlines and then fill in the details. Other people start from the inside and work to the outside. But eventually if you draw/paint really a lot? It becomes like a second nature to you. As I have learned over the years the trick is to not work around your mistakes, so to speak, but to make it a part of your art. It is an illustration not a potrait or like a picture where it has to be as precise and close to the real thing as possible. Gi is impressive. But the method can be adobted by pretty much anyone. Just as how everyone can learn to play (good) soccer. But of course not everyone will be a world class champion. But you can still learn it and be decent with it. When I used to draw like every day, at some point certain positions, figures, etc. become like a second nature to you. Muscle memory if you so will. Of course not everyone can be exactly like Gi. But I would say a lot of people, if they are dedicated, can get somewhat close to the efficiency and quality. Takes only 15+ years of experience I assume XD.
@@CrniWuk No. He literally says that he uses parts of the drawing itself as guidelines, as @Georgia Rose already pointed out and on which I elaborated. But yes, working your muscle memory will lead to accessing those skills more easily and with better outcome.
He memorized things at this point. Just have to draw everyday and a lot and practice on focus on perspective,anatomy and value
Contrary to the majority, this video actually inspired me to draw more and not just give up at the sight of his drawings...😁
same lol, i don't understand people getting demotivated. I always get pumped, like my third eye's opened!
@@heinoustentacles5719 yes! he and moebius are probably the only artists that really make me trust my intuition. i guess most people get discouraged because they don't understand his learning and drawing process
@@starcoreart I love moebius too! I suppose there are just certain personality similarities between us and them
@@heinoustentacles5719 true it gives me the excitement that I'll be able to draw like this if I keep practicing.
I'm honestly so inspired by him too! If he was super young, like 20-24, I would indeed give up because it would be too superhuman. But I know he's much older than me and that he's had a long learning path, so it makes me think I can do it too! His tips were helpful.
Who else wants to see his drawing progression from kindergarten
Not me..for fuck’s sake NO
Me
probably like 6:48
Would show that there is no talent in the world, just hard work and dedication
I'd imagine there'd be an appearance of sexual content much earlier than you'd expect.
I started that quite early, myself, because I didn't have that restraint.
I still kinda don't have it, really.
rip kim jung ur foever remembered as a master !!!
he's a really amazing artist, but he's humble, he practiced and studied some of the fundamentals, and credits hard work for most of his drawing abilities
Its a skill after all. You have to work on it constantly and he does.
Nah
Finally someone who likes dorohedoro
@@nuhahayat5086 yeah, it's great!
"Once i can draw motorcyle then i could draw a car"..
Can i borrow your brain for a moment Kim Jung Gi?
I think it would be the other way around, unless the car hood or whatever has been removed.
A motorcycle always has exposed mechanics and pipes, while a car's mechanics are mostly hidden behind aluminium sheet metal.
No
Never heard of him until today and there's something very special about his art. Instead of recycling the same character poses and angles, he cares enough to find an original perspective. It feels much more 3-D than other artists.
Artists all over the world really know him a lot. He holds workshops all over the world that you can attend if you want.
not only his drawing skills is impressive but also perspective skills too, unbelievable
Perspective is where I mess up when drawing, he’s perfected it
I have the exact same thoughts-- it looks incredibly technical but when I saw with my own eyes that there's no real 'technique', that he can freestyle all that...he's a savant, a creative genius. No question. You cannot teach that, it's impossible to learn, to develop. It's a gift, an in-born talent. RIP Mr Kim Jung Gi. I recommend the show Manben, if you haven't already checked it out definitely do.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 From the way he speaks he probably has a photography memory or a vivid one
'
@@aliciasam5239 He was an incredible talent, truly awesome.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293
I think it can be taught, its just that it will take a while to get there. It doesnt take a lot to imagine a scene in your head, whats difficult is understanding what you are seeing in your mind.
Given he drew for 40+ years itd be a bit hard to say all his skills were just talent.
These uploads the last few days have been insanely good
Broooo thats what im saying!! The recent posts been STRAIGHT GOLD
What I like about Kim Jung Gi a lot is how he seems so human. Like sure he probably has a predisposition to learning and understanding better and faster (like no average kindergartner understands 1 and 2 point perspective intuitively), but he doesn’t pretend like he’s some kind of prodigy and clearly dislikes being put on a pedestal. Very likable imo.
Yeah, he's not Michelangelo, who tried mightily to raise his outrageous, godlike abilities beyond the stratosphere and toward untouchable heights.
He just wants to be a better artist, and just because he can do all this he knows it doesn’t make him persay better then anyone from a person standpoint not drawing wise
Drew Hong until the soju and koolaid come out
When am I going to realize that watching someone draw isn't going to make me that much better at drawing?
It's great to watch the artists processes, the one thing we have to keep in mind is that we will develop our own at one point if we practice long enough, so there's no reason beat yourself up if you don't do it like him, and idk - we hear "draw everyday" but sometimes those kinds of rules can be more detrimental than helpful... there's more to just drawing and nailing the techniques, always
OrangeBlueFlamencoSketch get out of my head
Watching this guy draw as much as I can helped me learn perspective better than any drawing books I practiced cover to cover
@@scraw6389 No, it's comfy and surprisingly spacious. 10/10 home
@@apyorick Yea, I can see that. But I think what is actually helping might be that you are drawing with his philosophy of perspective in mind. That only makes you better at drawing when you actually try it out. The only way to learn how to draw is trying to do it yourself.
"You cannot force fame or success"
Pure facts
His level of visualization is incredible. His technique of shaping lines by repeating them seems very akin to digital art, its impressive he mastered it through pencil and paper.
5:40 intuitive understanding over mathematical measurement = freeer feeling
8:30 reference every stroke to be a guideline fir perspective instead of needing a perfect mathematically correct vanishing point lines
Always think when you draw something, where is the upper &lower VP? Where is the left and right VP?
And from there try to FIRST draw the parts in the subject that can indicate those VP
For Kim frog helmet he started with the front side if helmet which indicated right VP then the right side of helmet slightly indicated left side VP
The toad eyes on helmet (when thinking about the square than hold sit inside) will tell where the upper VP is
Then the glasses give a reinforcement of where the right and left VP are
6:35 also can use contour lines to indicate form but also help reinforce VP for yourself throughout the drawing
9:30 once you are always thinking about objects as where they are in perspective/ “mastering the cube”
Then you will improve very fast
Thanks for the overview! It’s very helpful!
This should be pinned!!
he developed that intuition because he thought about it a lot and observed a lot. but for some they can develop the intuition better by practicing with the guidelines first. he never said not to draw perspective grids. he just doesnt use them because he already intuitively understands it
If only I could save comments....
@@averagekirbyenjoyer7909 Take a screenshot lol
Proko seems to love this guy.. well I actually too, I Lost a lot of my drawing skill, I had my moments, sometimes I drew in such a way that I was surprised by myself, today I take pencil paper and after 5 minutes I am collapsed by the mind and other matters, I can no longer do it. My advice to children and young people is: never think that your drawings are something worthless, even if no one ever recognizes them.
Thank you. You shouldn't give up now though. If you could do it before you can do it once again. It does suck relearning something but it's worth it.

yeah 🥴 just draw balls and add tiger to it..... yayyyyy you made tiger balls👏👏
Yeeahhhhh!!!!!
My brain every time he says something: _write that down WRITE THAT DOWN!!_
You can see in his face, his humility and the way that he talks that he is a master. He's literally a living legend.
🥲
This man is an absolute genius. A testament to the exceptional excellence of South Korea...
Felt like I just finished a whole degree in 24 minutes. Amazingly insightful. Thanks Proko for putting this together.
Makes a lot more sense. The basis is basically repetition without making it feel like repetition. Draw something, dissect it and re use it. I appreciate this interview, it gave me a spark to start drawing again.
please stop comparing yourselves this guy is like 47 years old and he sure has spent 40 years drawing you barely have 5 years doing it, get it
Nope, we’re comparing gotta hold myself to the standards of my inspirations.
You are right. That's years of mastery at work when this man draws. You have to put in that work to get good like him
How did you know I have been drawing for five years 😂😂 anyway I don't compare myself with him our style is different
He is no more… should have drawn the line sooner…..
His drawings are very much alive, its insane, tht must have taken him years and years of crazy hardwork, discipline, dedication and sacrifice to achieve, honestly, respect 💜
"Don't draw what you see, draw what you have seen" Is what my life drawing teacher once told me.
Drawing someone on paper, no matter how realistic it maybe, is all fake in the end of the day. So mix drawing with what you already know (like anatomy or structural elements) and what you see to get a better drawing.
@Any Rebel I mean, it depends on who you're talking to and what your objectives are as an artist. Teachers are there to help you learn the skill of observation, which will help you as an artist no matter your style.
The process of copying images by drawing them solidifies those images in your mind, and the more you draw those images and new images, the more your drawing will change. If you don't draw new things, then you're stuck drawing the same old things.
What you consume by drawing is forwarded to your creative side when you start producing. For example, by pushing myself to draw different trees I now have a larger visual library to reference when I want to create a new drawing. So, it's like visual muscle memory -- you just gotta DO it.
I always back to this video when im getting burn out with my art. Kim Jung Gi drawing can give us a bunch of motivation to draw more and more. That's amazing!
I can't believe this genius is not with us anymore. Thanks for share your uncanny art and words.
his drawings look like when I used to copy photos by putting them on a window and overlaying a piece of paper on it.
his lines are just so precise, fluid and wiggly all at the same time
One of the coolest and hardest thing he does is his extraordinary details it's so awesome and cool he doesn't even need a reference for it he just memorize it which is pretty much really hard to master
I can't draw a smiley face I am in awe of how amazing and just freaking cool this guys art is I absolutely Love it
I'm watching this again after this legend passed away. Such an inspiration for a doodler like myself.
RIP Jung Gi.
respectfully how did he pass away ? IM just finding about him now .
@@Toneclark-kk6kt On October 3, 2022, while staying at the airport to participate in the New York Comic-Con (NYCC) in New York, he felt heart problems and was taken to a hospital, but failed to recover and died during surgery due to acute myocardial infarction.
A talent like this comes only once in a generation. RIP master Kim
The first 4 minutes of this video show what his main asset in his art is, I think that’s his spatial reasoning ability. To be able to clearly visualize something from an angle you’ve never seen takes a lot of spatial reasoning, his ability to visualize complex objects from these angles is at a genius level.
9:23 "I found that if you have the fundamentals down, the speed of progress accelerates much more quickly. I improved very fast once I understood the shape of a cube. In it was perspective: mass, shape and shadow."
Good job you watched the video
@@omdano6432 always wonder what motivates people to leave useless aggressive comments but let me enlighten you: not everyone watches the video from start to end and some people quickly read through comments before watching the video (I do that). also, it's clear that the comment is citing the video with time stamp and quote marks so one can skip it quickly if not interested reading a citation from the video itself. in any case, I wrote the comment because I thought it could be useful to someone.
worst case scenario few people see it, they don't hit like or they hit dislike, the comment would be buried where no one can see it. so, your comment is absolutely useless. which is ironic.
@@treeoflife7151 the video is there so you can see it if you instantly go to read the comments before the video you arent interested in the video only peoples reactions which you didnt provide and instead chose to link back to the video because apparently you agree that people shouldnt watch the video which is better than just taking any quotes from the video and acting like you took an entire story also ironic how you left an aggressive useless comment to argue against my aggressive useless comment which could have not even been aggressive
@@omdano6432 Even MORE Ironic how you're responding to their passive aggressive comment that you originally responded in a passive aggressive manner
Which is even MORE ironic that I'm subliminally responding To you in a passive aggressive manner by responding to your passive aggressive response.
The way I see it, if any of us continue this pattern of us responding against each other we'll create a paradox of our passive aggressive responses.
@@ilikejazz3004 oh no the cycle continues you dimbledam
I can't believe this, the only one who can draw like this way! this world is not enough for him to create more...
This man changed how I want to approach art and forever grateful for his existence, RIP legend
A master of perspective.
I want to see those Kindergarten drawings
for the sake of all of us I hope not
@@BinaryDood I kinda wanna see so that I can feel myself being humiliated again.
so you have chosen... death
EpicDuty I don’t need to be humiliated further..
Hook me up if u find em i didnt see any
Lot of people being discouraged in the comments but honestly y'all, y'all don't have to be Gi levels of good to be an amazing artist. It's a process and we all got our way of approaching things with different artistic philosophy, with a different journey too. Gi is an amazing creator and it's not impossible to get to where he is if you follow a similar ways of visualizing and internalizing the world, and particular ways of approaching your work, but y'all should be focused on improving and having fun with that process, and carving out your identity and do what you feel, feels best, and figuring out how you'd do these things instead of striving to become Kim Jung Gi 2. You can always learn from Kim Jung Gi but there's never any fun in tryna become Kim, because that's a very high standard to establish for yourself, especially if you're a newbie.
Bruh, are you serious?
Talent allows people to improve in the first place.
You could draw for hours every day for a decade, but if you don't have the talent, you'll get nowhere
@Schnbl name one person who isn't talented in their field that actually succeded.
You CAN'T because nobody knows about them and nobody gives a shit.
Mozart, Einstein, Tesla, Piccasso etc
All were GENIUSES in their respective fields.
And even if we fo to more modern examples in(for instance) the comic and manga industry like Joe Mad and Araki , again both talented.
They improved because they had talent in the first place.
Hard work only gets you so far
@@filipvadas7602 Ugh you're an idiot. There's no such thing as talent without tons of hours dedicated to carving out your skills. People aren't born geniuses my dude, people simply develop and nurture those creative capabilities, some better than others. You sound like an old fine art professor. Talent and skill are one in the same, and both develop.
@@RadTrashed Uh, sorry to burst your bubble. Sure, hard work without talent isn't enough. But talent IS REAL though. How do you explain child prodigies who can paint and compose music at an early age? Some people are also better than others at visualizing, owing to spatial understanding in their brains. That's why everyone learns things at different rates. Some are fast, some are slow, everyone has different methods. Sure, you can improve these skills but there's no point in being denial that some people are indeed more gifted than others.
@@RadTrashed
People who say "there is no talent" and "its all about hard work" are just trying to make themselves and others feel better.
Because they would prefer to live a lie tham to face the fact that not everybody is born "special"
Normal people are dime a dozen, talent is the inly thing that will ever get noticed or rewarded, NOT hard work
His style is so free and lively, its a language on its own to translate the world
Kim Jung Gi Thanks for your contribution to the arts and entertainment, God speed
You will be forever remembered. Rest in Paradise, legend!
didn't know who kim was until i watched this video back in 2019, since then i have really admired his work and how inspiring he is. RIP legend.
Is the amount of details in his drawings that make his drawings just unreal. How he remembers even the tiniest details is crazy, and how he adds them to his drawings where it needs to be. This goes beyond drawing. And is not just like he draws one specific thing good, he knows how to draw everything. He's not set to one specific thing like some artist. This guy literally could have drawn everything in the world and add all the details it had.
“It’s important to draw a lot but understanding what you’re drawing is more important”
4 years at art school & no one ever emphasized that. It’s bizarre seeing all the animation students doing hundreds of drawings a day brainlessly with out stoping to understand.
Ahh isnt that like a given? You don't need this guy to tell you that to understand, dingus!!
yeah BUT to be fair animators spend hours on end drawing frame after frame. i've done it and my brain went kaputt. the end result is okay tho for an amateur tho lol.
Animation is a completely different kind of art.
An animator's mind should be a able to comprehend perspective and summarise the details of what they're making into a few dozen lines, easily. They can't spend an hour on every frame, that'd take months, and you'd only get an animation a little over a minute long.
@BronzeGod Animators don't need to understand the same principles as drawers do.
Their objective is to churn out as many frames per second while still making them look fluid and attractive. If there's motion, you have to blend the frames together to make it smooth, which can result in some janky looking drawings. (Naruto Shippuden is famous for janky smears)
Normal drawing needs you to understand exactly what you're wanting to draw and how to best convey it in a single motionless picture. If there's motion, you'd have to imply it through composition and perspective, etc. Doing that in the same way for an animation would *ruin* that animation.
Motion is the most obvious difference, but not the only one.
Smears are _highly_ unintuitive for normal artists, and are the hardest part of making a good animation. They're an art form in themselves, because of how weird they are.
I get the impression you have no personal experience on this matter, and are talking solely from observation. I am saying that's how it _seems,_ by the way. Whether it's true or not doesn't matter.
@BronzeGod Thanks for being civil, I thought my words might have come off as a bit insulting.
The process of choosing his angle and the best possible image sending , he is able to detach himself from himself and himself and go through that world he is looking at or trying to express say a tank from every angle, and space,crazy
Just wow.
I used to do that a lot as a kid, "walk" though the landscapes in my mind and look at different angles and stuff. Climb up mountains and look at forests below. I didn't know that was a thing other people did so it's cool to hear he did it too
It feels a lot like dreaming except you're still awake. Sometimes doing this helps me fall asleep
@@savannahlevy97 that is an amazing skill, you are lucky to be able to do that!
It’s called insane memory & Decades of practice, serious dedication... he is unique, But honestly once you’ve drawn every single thing possible, you start to get a feel for it LOL
One of a kind. Eternally in our hearts.
Kim Jung Gi, you left the world a better place than you found it! Rest In Peace.
This was unreal. Thanks a bunch. I'm formally trained and all that jazz, but learning Kim Jung Gi's approach is a blast of fresh air I needed.
You will not be forgotten, master of the brush pen 🌹
I'm 8 mins in and I feel like I've been here for an hour (in the best possible way). This is one of, maybe the, best artist interviews ive ever seen.
RIP, we lost a pure genius way too soon.
I just heard that he died and i wanted to come back to watch the video that started my journey of drawing.Because of Kim i started drawing even though my brother was the talented one and i wasn’t kim gave me the motivation and confidence to just draw and actually become much more better in drawing ,i remember watching one of his live streams i asked him question he was very humble and helpful and it was my first interaction with a celebrity but he wasn’t one tbh he was a true artist and only care for helping people and inspire.With tears in my eyes you may rest in peace Kim.
RIP Kim J. Gi. He was a one of a kind artist that this world has never seen. He & his talent surely will be missed but his works will live on!
I came here to pay my respects. This man was the GOAT of freehand and perspective art. I only wish I had a smidgen of his understanding on the subject but gosh this man was one of my biggest inspiration. RIP 🙏
Love this guy, he inspired young artist and to ppls who wants to be an artist,
I just started drawing and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to visualize stuff. I'll keep working on it!
I don't know if this applies to you, but there are actually people who cant visualise in their minds eye. It is possible to overcome till a certain extent however, but it takes a lot of practice. To me its a very odd concept some people are acctualy unable to see stuff in their minds. There are videos about it on RUclips, hence me being introduced to the idea not everyone sees stuff in the same degree intheir head.
I can say I've always thought in words, meaning when I try to visualize images they are blurred and lack detail. Like a Hollywood depiction of a dream. I have been drawing for 15 years and what I found made the most profound difference was focusing on foundations. If I understand the logic behind perspective, value, etc then I don't have to rely on a powerful "mind's eye". I can simply build a visual library through practice and apply the rules that I know when drawing. It takes a little longer than I would like to create something I'm happy with, but for me it's a powerful reminder to slow down and learn to enjoy the act of doing something.
Draw stuff (anything and everything) from real life and your mind will gain the skill in time.
@@Captain_MonsterFart nah, IF they are talented then they'll get better, otherwise might as well pack their bags
If you have the talent you'll improve
Hearing Jung Gi talking about his process is so encouraging because these tips are so accessible for any artist, you just need this daily discipline to see your own art evolving. Thank you Proko for sharing this gem!
Rest In Peace Grand Master Kim, So inspirating, you work will inspirated lots of génération. I miss you
it's insane that I've never heard of this man before. reminds ya how many beast talents there are out there
His work will always mesmerize me. Sad to see such a great master gone so soon...
Practice makes u a master in anything u have passion
