Kim Jung said the most important quote I'll remember forever about observation. When looking at something, "pretend its like eating the last candy you will ever eat in your life". So profound, I'll always have that in the back of my head when I'm observing something. One of the best art tutorials I've watched. Thanks for posting.
@@ItchyMagic Well, what I took from it was if it was your last candy you would savour it and as a result observe everything about it. That means the taste/colour/texture/shape etc. So you would apply that mindset to the objects around you. Hope that helps or maybe someone can explain it better🙂
@@quangloc97 Kim Jung-gi was a South Korean illustrator, cartoonist, and manhwa artist. He was famous for his large, highly detailed illustrations, ink and brush artistic style, and skill at drawing from memory. Wikipedia Born: 1975, Goyang-si, South Korea Died: October 3, 2022, Paris, France
I've been watching his work for a long time. One day I realised that if I don't draw one small thing a day, I've wasted a day of not knowing how to draw that thing. I'm slowly drawing simple things for fun. Like pens, cellphones, bowls and plates and my own hands. Things I use and see every single day. Art is not for showing off anymore for me, it's about learning about the world around me. I'm grateful for videos like these.
yeah once I dropped the desire of prestige and found my innate desire to create, everything got so much easier and more fun. My work improved a lot too
I share the same sentiment as of recently. Since Master KJG's passing, I realized while drawing and art is my passion, there was a lot I could improve on. I too have started drawing everyday objects I see around me and I've noticed it helps my main subject matters. Depth of work is getting better and I'm more mindful about the things I draw. Thanks for sharing !
The last part is why I started drawing. I was a very introvert and mysanthropic person. at first I drew for venting out and for therapy, then i started drawing just for fun. Since to improve I needed to learn how to draw from real people or objects, it helped me to appreciate both people and the world. Like it forces you to face reality and kinda breaks down any wall you built between you and other people. to draw something you have to both appreciate and understand it, basically humanize something you would never humanize. so if you want to draw people you have to appreciate them and understand them, humanize them, even if it's just the anatomy or facial expression. You can't humanize someone if you are a misanthrope, so it was either staying angry or improve at drawing.
@@MitridatedCarbonwao .. that's such a wonderful insight I also felt the same I am not misanthrope or too much of an introvert but after drawing different faces it true it just feels a little bit closer It is a pretty weird feeling but I do get it what you mean
He said he doesn't think of himself as a master, but man the guy was being modest, he was and will always be one of the most amazing and inspirational artist.
It’s actually Hyun Jin Kim who said, “To his students a constant reminder to treat an observation as the last interaction, like the last candy you’ll have in your life.” Kim Jung Gi illustrated it by exaggerating the act of eating in a hurry vs enjoying one’s food.
I will never forget you Master Kim. Meeting you a week before your passing will be in my treasured memories forever. It was an honor and privelege. I will carry with me your spirit of determination, grit, and the continuous pursuit of progress, though no one will ever come close to your raw talent and generosity combined. We will carry forward your ideals, and teachings in the hope of impacting others just as you have. Thank you for your life, and all the joy you've shared with the world.
Jung Gi is such a great artist. It's inspiring just to see that that level of mastery with just simple lines is possible. It also makes you realize how far he really has progressed as even most professional artists will rely on guidelines, loose forms and sketches to lock down the shapes. Kim Jung Gi just plows in head first and never seems to lose the volume or depth of what he's drawing. Thanks so much for this tutorial.
Probably not extreme talent but at least 12 hours a day for 30 years they are artist drawing in jung gi style with no reference of course they are not on his level but it is possible
Being an artist myself, I have to say that's a brilliant way to explain how we as artists see, and translate our work. And to then impart that knowledge to someone else, is masterful the way he's doing it! It's brilliant!
hmmm, amazing to see a master at work. the point of holding the form in your mind really stand out to me. I think so often we are so used to passively seeing, but we can forget to really observe objects and actively take in their form. great advice!
Is Kim Jung Gi dead or does he live on in the process he gave us all. Exactly what is immortality…a thought that often crosses my mind as an artist thanks to people like this great man’s talent. food for thought.
Imagine having such fine motor control and artist talent 😭 that's amazing truly! And I'm sad reading the comments cus it looks like this guy's no longer here 😭 😭 😭 absolutely a talented master!
@@bruh8539 That was the point of what I said. You can't master lines without all of that knowledge, but you cultivate and strengthen that knowledge with lines first. If you see the lines only ever as lines, then you never have a hope of mastery, regardless of skill.
@@pixelpastiche by mastering lines, i thought you maybe ment to master the technique in which stile the lines are drawn - since basically the fundamentals have to merge together and create the image. And to think part by part while drawing, will give the draftsman issues with proportions often.
"Kim Jung Gi stares at you in a condescending way. His eyebrows, mustache... His skin all scream "seriously?" at you." The man himself considers anyone who asks him what pen he uses as subhuman.
@@enniusdrusus867 I think he is kind of right. A certain type of pen will not make you a good artist. On the other hand, I don't think that this is necessarily what people think. They just think hey these lines look nice and he will probably use a good pen so I could use it myself which is very understandable.
@@salty_3k506 I think he tells it all before he demonstrates his confidence on a hard surface. Or he just thinks "seriously, the pens literally advertise themselves on their appearance". We will never know the truth that lies underneath his shiny head.
It's all in experience. If you have drawn 1000 strawberries you'll be able to draw them really fast compared to when you drew your first 5 ones. And imagine if 300-500 of those were drawn from life and reference and the rest from memory.
Back in the late 70s/ early 80si used to do ink mechanical drawings for catalogs. This guy makes it look so easy (Amazing talent). Then computers and software came along and ended that skilled profession.
@@Broody58 100% agree, but what will happen is Ai will come up with its own creations. All great creativity come from the mix of talent, the human experience caused by life. But at some point Ai will figure out that magical mix and come up with its interpretations of that human magic. PS: I was also a sign painter in the 70s, which lead to illustration, mechanical drawing, design, architecture, building, eventually design where people were paying me just for my ideas. A 50+ yr road trip from a hippie dippie artist kid in the late 60s early 70s to retirement. Like the Grateful Dead song says: “What a Long Strange Trip it’s Been”
Is unbelievable 😂 what a trip!! Im very happy I watch this priceless knowledge skill method thank you Id like to learn Thank you guys I love you!!!take Care!!!!!!
Every drawing needs a narrative a story. When I applied to Gordon stone University I got a place on one reason that stopped drawing from memory. I had draw the way the taught. I turned it down. My son said I was wrong that should have did their. I could do it. I am a realist painter.
Me "Embrace the engine, the look, the feel, the smell...the taste" Neighbour "What the hell are you licking my bike for?" Me "Shhh this is for reference"
I am not taking anything away from his talent, but the man also has a photographic memory and is able to pull out snapshots of images and their angles from his memory banks at a whim when he needs them because he's been drawing for so long.
So it seems when he talks about it being like your last candy, he's referring to having a very strong emotional connection. This is common with people with photographic memories. You remember things more vividly when there are emotions attached to them. The question is how does one tap into ones emotions and then attach those emotions to what they see ?
I wonder if he deconstructs each subject into parts understand each part's purpose. I bet machinists would make great artists since they see the parts of the whole on a daily basis.
@@whynotanyting no, he's implying that knowledge of the parts that make up a whole doesn't automatically make you able to draw it. Its (fittingly) only one part of the equasion.
It truly is just studying. When you draw it the first time and observe it with the intention to review and redraw the next day and only remember 30-60% the next day it is the same as studying homework and review that.
in short its like you practiced so much you could "guess it" right ? like shooting an arrow very far and you try to get closer and closer to the target and if it was for darts your goal is to be able to make full bullseyes on the shots
