      @@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: th-cam.com/video/LWgXSxxEjgs/w-d-xo.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 TH-cam that people with this affliction can use for free.

      this should be the top comment. I hate how in the art community its a common thing for artists to just be like waaahhhh ill never draw like that. mainly because theyre children or incredibly immature, which most people never grow out of when it comes to their art therefore never being able to become professional artists. Its a self fulfilling prophecy.

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".

    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.

      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.

      @@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.

    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

    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

    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.

      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.

    • @Zaire82
      @Zaire82 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @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.

    "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 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.

I was just so curious as to how Kim Jung Gi goes about a composition be it a thumbnail or a spontaneous draw. I have known on how to see an object from all sides and perspectives (Loomis method and some comic industry artist tips) but I definitely like how thorough Gi puts it down and the wisdom and knowledge of trial and error he explains. Mr. Proko, you are doing great work not only with your fantastic and superb skill of making art but that of being a truly wonderful and legendary educator that artists will be searching for generations from now.
