Not only is the artwork itself beautiful, but his process is incredible. He uses zero reference, doesn't sketch anything out, is able to keep perspective while still keeping in mind the composition, all while keep a storyline and overall theme, switch between mechanical and organic shapes, simultaneously use line work while still having shadows, conveys movement, uses negative space, understands 3D environemnts, the list goes on..... The amount of envy I'm feeling is unparalleled.
no initial sketch no perspective guidelines no compozitional planning no reference no erasing I feel like that cop from Matrix, watching a spectacle of super human ability: "This... is impossible!..."
Maybe you should write a more detailed critique to explain why you would consider the result "crap". I am really impressed by this piece of art, but maybe I just fail to see the lack of quality that seems to be so obvious to you... and why are you always putting up artists against each other? Why should I check out Cam Kennedy INSTEAD - why not check him out AS WELL? Also: I recommend Sam Kieth and Simon Bisley! :)
Constantly-Confused Troll alert. I can only cite that old saying "don't argue with idiots, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Don't fall for their "argument".
If you insist, you can check my stuff on deviantart: constantly-confused.deviantart.com I'm not working on a professional level, but then again: you do not have to be a professional musician to enjoy a violin concert. :)
This is incredible. Every line is perfectly placed with zero errors in composition, proportion, anatomy and foreshortening. If you have any knowledge of drawing at all you will quickly realise that this kind of talent is extremely rare and extremely exceptional.
Absolutely fantastic! The amount of practice that he has had must be beyond enormous! Only constant drawing for many, many years allows for this sort of skill. That constant effort is as impressive as the drawing he does in this clip.
So amny of his drawings have the kind of angles you get with a typical 35 mm camera. It's like he's memorized those compositions and then adapted them (brilliantly) for his own needs. It may well be that he has a visual "photographic" memory (literally). Very, very impressive.
He has created a lot of masterpieces on white canvases showcasing his extraordinary talent in drawing manually and that's what never ceases to amaze me. 👍 Truly a gifted man, thanks for sharing.
I like his panoramic style. Good god, I could see myself drawing like one of those images and I'll be all proud of myself, this guy just says the hell with it, crams it all together with so much going on, theres so much life!
You want to be as good as this chap? You draw and practice non stop. You study and learn and you improve over time. Doesn't happen overnight. Need to put some heart into it.
The impression I got from this guy is that he has an incredible visual memory, a library of images stored in his brain. It is obvious that he observes everything around him, the most mundane of objects to animals, people, clothing, machines. He observes everything when he goes out in the world, an open mind of sorts, ready to absorb what he sees. That's my impression of him.
A veces nos preguntan como era la taza del desayuno y no la sabríamos dibujar, este tío dibuja la taza, toda la habitación, la calle si se ve, la gente pasando en fin todo, su cerebro transmite como un PC, a la mano y esta así mismo hace de impresora, hay muy pocos artistas que no conozcan la gamo de borrar y el boceto, este tío es !Genial!, lo sigo y me he comprado sus libros, para admirarlo cada vez mas.
Many 3D artists reconstructed few of his drawing to study how accurate is his oblique perspective and sense of scorso. This man has A COMPUTER VISION for eyes and parallel CPU inside his head. It's absurd how accurate this man is with the sense of scale and proportion.
all you people be depressed over seeing him drawing and thinking you'd never be good, boiz and gurlz no, you can, if you give up, that means less competition in the art era we are in, we need to make our era the best of art, the best in the creative field. better than the impressionists and better than the god damn poxy renaissance and the best era to have ever come out of the ground!!!
This is both awe-inspiring and insane... there's no structural linework, no base sketch, no establishing perspective lines, just freehanded ink lines.... wow.... !!
First off, it doesn't seem he's looking at a reference, the characters are all different, the perspective is curved, drawing people on bikes is hard, the depth makes everything looked planned but it isn't, there is a lot of detail and doesn't look sketchy, the composition is interesting, all the characters interact, there is a sense of movement, he draws characters of all ages, he draws animals, it's all done quickly and effortlessly, it is just incredible to behold. Inspired.
I've just learned the death of KJG. what a tremendous loss. The mistery of his mental process when drawing is as much fascinating as his works themselves. Watching him at work just give me the feeling he's a in a state of superconsciouness or something like that. Like he would visualize his creations in 3D, turn around them, and ink the preparatory sketch invisible to us but not to him. R.I.P magician.
Shit like this blows. my. mind. I was an avid drawer back in the day but gave it up and became a productive part of society sporting the classic 8-5 career now. Looking at this video makes me reflect on my artistic days when I could do SOME of this but not to this level. My issue back then was I operated on a perfectionist level when it cam eto drawing. i would hit parts in my art where I didn't want to continue drawing it because it looked perfect - even if unfinished). Funny, but looking at this video I mentally took note a multiple times when I would have said... meh, that looks good - next. To see someone carry on and quickly draw out details that my brain would take minutes to even think of is incredible. Wish I could do this. This guy is amazing!
The man is an artistic savant! One can study and practice art for a lifetime and still not become this good. In essence, one can only be gifted these talents at birth to reach such a level.
nah no pros though. Agree with uuD youtube comments are SO dumb. My dog knows more about art....kinda obvious they're desperate even buying views now. 1,221,570 views yet only 684 comments and virtually zero sketchbook sales on amazon..says it all folks. Now I must go and look at artists with real talent...ho hum
I mean, he's not the best artist in the world but he's definitely got talent, view botting or not this is still pretty amazing. If you were being sarcastic then it wasn't very apparent.
In his youth he'd practice those techniques on how to draw, that hobbies turn into a great skills, such great memory and detailed drawing. Maybe in his mind and heart this thing called love of his work is what he wanted to express others.
I wonder, is he just one of those people that were born with raw talent, in essence a prodigy? Or did he just work very hard and dedicate his life to becoming a master?
tucnasam Yeah, I heard that a lot coming from lazy people as well. A desire to be great in something is notghing but a desire until you simply do stuff to become as great as you wanted to be or even better. Artist here is confident in his skills in himself in his eyes that have seen and memorized all he drew, most of all he simply loves it.
THis guy definitely has a brain type that assists him in this, like high memory retention and a photographic memory. dont give me your bullshit attitude of "nothing but hard work, a lazy excuse wha wha wah" . Plenty of artists work REALLY hard too, but cant do this stream of thought drawing like this
Photographic memory can be taught. If you dedicate a great ammount of time on it. Try some simple excercises like looking at a photo for 10 seconds. Then take it away and try to redraw that image. Stay at it for some years and you will deffinitely start developing photographic memory with great detail.
I was remember being puzzled at why his drawing's didn't have a lot of details/tighter lines. But now after learning to draw, i realize why =x. It's all about gestural, which he's done magnificently well - simple and effective (it's actually difficult to do.) No need to overdo the details, focus on one thing too much you waste time/energy, and on a drawing this grand would become a mess to look at.
I will take a guess and say the type of person who would dislike this guys art would be other artists who would instantly know, that no matter how hard they tried, how long they lived, or who trained them , realise that they could NEVER even get close to this guys abilities. So instead of just sitting back ,watching him draw and allowing themselves to be amazed and awed by a total master of the art, instead choose to clench their asshole ,squint their eyes and allow jealousy to take hold as they down vote the video whilst they grind their teeth
Rest in peace Kim Jung gi.
The art community and the world will miss seeing events like these.
I just found out thanks to your comment. I am going to cry in 3..2....1......I love this guy, learn so much just by watching him.....
He is not drawing, he is rendering...
Awesome.
太強了！每個人物角色物品都如此生動！筆觸更是行雲流水，最難的是構圖，利用多點透視人物物品多也沒有失去畫面秩序，真強！神人！
100 portraits
100 perspective exercises
100 anatomy drawings
and run 10km every day
After 3 years he went bald and now he is KIM JUNG GI!
chuck farley one pen man
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahahahahhahahah one pen man!!!
and use 10 kilos of paper every day *
Best comment ever

The amount of envy I'm feeling is unparalleled.
No sketches, no erasing. So much detail straight from the mind.
No words can describe the awesomeness ...
yu just did lol
no initial sketch
no perspective guidelines
no compozitional planning
no reference
no erasing
I feel like that cop from Matrix, watching a spectacle of super human ability: "This... is impossible!..."
+Ciprian Hanga Yeah.... I'm sitting here with my mind blown....

hmm... good observation.

It's extremely impossible.. I'm a concept artist with more than 20 years of experience.. what this guy was doing is impossible.
He has most likely studied and drawn each subject at least once before but his ability to recall them and play with new angles is amazing.
I'm pretty sure he has blender installed in his head
He draws so much detail, but it's amazing how much more detail is created by the negative space he leaves in his artwork!
Simply. The world's best illustrator. Thank you, Kim Jung Gi.
He just imagines anything he wants to draw, and he does. And it looks perfect.
He's the kind of artist that could draw leave a drawing on a napkin for a waiter instead of a tip, and it would be just fine.
the restaurant has to pay him instead if that happens
Don't think any one will touch Thier food. Just watch him draw
anthemloo:-):-):-):-)pP
That's too much tip though. They won't have any penny to pay back for the over-paid tip.
Except if you’re broke and you need money
I love how both modern and old school his art style looks.
This hurts so much... Rest in peace, master!
RIP Kim Jung Gi... You will be missed.

he's like a fucking printer!
He use "Pentel brush pen".
Thank you
Thank you
Thanks alot
And a genius mindset
i love you art kung jun gi
Mixed feelings: I should (a) practise a lot more or (b) just quit drawing.
MaghoxFr A!!!!
HalleluYah HalleluYah
LOL deffinitely, thanks!
+MaghoxFr PRACTICE!! you won't regret it!
+MaghoxFr C) get hit by a baseball when you were young.
(that's what happened to him.)
Ethan Walker didn't know that!
This guy is my absolute hero - what a force of nature he is
He has created a lot of masterpieces on white canvases showcasing his extraordinary talent in drawing manually and that's what never ceases to amaze me. 👍 Truly a gifted man, thanks for sharing.
I like his panoramic style. Good god, I could see myself drawing like one of those images and I'll be all proud of myself, this guy just says the hell with it, crams it all together with so much going on, theres so much life!
Most talented artist on the face of this planet...No doubt about that.
Inside all this virtues of art... His sense of humor. Capts a second of a moment full of people and animals.... Great. RIP.
I've seen most of his drawing videos several times! It makes me feel so good!
Thankful & glad to watch him drawing...
Yoji Shinkawa is a great artist. This guy is something else entirely; a storyteller. He brings life to all the characters.
You want to be as good as this chap? You draw and practice non stop. You study and learn and you improve over time. Doesn't happen overnight. Need to put some heart into it.
he can draw literally ANYTHING!!!
The impression I got from this guy is that he has an incredible visual memory, a library of images stored in his brain. It is obvious that he observes everything around him, the most mundane of objects to animals, people, clothing, machines. He observes everything when he goes out in the world, an open mind of sorts, ready to absorb what he sees. That's my impression of him.

Amen to that! 👏
On another level. Perspective, foreshortening, any angle - no problem, humans, animals, very detailed vehicles.
I HAVE NOW FOUND MY MASTER!
No reference, no pre-color sketching, no stress lol.....Just puré genius. He so good he kinda makes wanna quit but also makes me want to draw more
Subject: Thief and cop
This is both awe-inspiring and insane... there's no structural linework, no base sketch, no establishing perspective lines, just freehanded ink lines.... wow.... !!
he inspires and crushes me
deep respects to the man, I'll practice alot
Try watching this at its normal speed, maybe you'll really understand how complex his art is. Such a great artist.
* Snaps pencil in half and cries in a corner
i dont think i`ve seen bigger talent in my live... amazing
Kim Jung is no joke.
I wondered y there is lot of videos on this man. Then one day happened to watch this. Kudoosh..... nw i gt it. He is one legend
Unreal. I wish my brain worked like that.
160 thousand subscribers... should have 160million this is some serious skills you have my friend... what an eye you have for detail 👌
Call the Mythbusters, please. This guy is THE BEST.

so amazing creative memory, perfect drawing without references and rough outline
Proko said that he can remember what he sees then draw it,such talent I wish I can be like him,HE DOESN'T EVEN USE SKETCH IN DRAWING OR A PENCIL
sometime he even touch things so he can remember it MORE accurate !
Shit like this blows. my. mind. I was an avid drawer back in the day but gave it up and became a productive part of society sporting the classic 8-5 career now.

This guy is amazing!
Master of All!
Respects!
This guy is absolutely phenomenal.......a modern day renaissance master
1000000% genius
I think there are very few people in the world who can do what this man is doing to this level,..irrespective of where they come from..
I love drawing! But when I watched this I was like "FML"
36 is pretty young for this level of drawing... He practices 10 hours EVERYDAY!
@@SonovaZebra I thought i was dedicated. I spend around 7 hours on average. That is with procrastinations lol
Simply amazing!
The man is an artistic savant! One can study and practice art for a lifetime and still not become this good. In essence, one can only be gifted these talents at birth to reach such a level.
Very like free climbing, confidence, no errors, just like a printing machine, incredible
demasiada envidia.
This guy is my absolute hero...is an alien jajajaja, and every line is perfectly placed with zero errors....
He's a funckin human printer for God sake!
Level: Magic and sorcery.
Artistic talent and a lot of practice doesn't produce that. Most people can't draw a simple shape without an eraser...
Kim Jung Gi is the definition of :”There will also be an asian better than you”
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. He draws as if by magic.
Human printer eh... How much does these cyborgs cost...hahah just kidding good job man
master of freehand drawing🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
i lost alot of my brain cells when reading some of the youtube comments, god damn
That's odd, I only saw comments complementing him.
nah no pros though. Agree with uuD youtube comments are SO dumb. My dog knows more about art....kinda obvious they're desperate even buying views now.
1,221,570 views yet only 684 comments and virtually zero sketchbook sales on amazon..says it all folks. Now I must go and look at artists with real talent...ho hum

jealousy is such an ugly thing.
In his youth he'd practice those techniques on how to draw, that hobbies turn into a great skills, such great memory and detailed drawing. Maybe in his mind and heart this thing called love of his work is what he wanted to express others.
Photographic memory
good preparation, don't be so naive
sir ... you are inspiration for the whole generation
in his brain already has a perspective visual, so when he draw , he already know next two or three object that he will draw after
It's like his mind exploded on the page. Amazing art.
뇌에 있는 이미지를 손으로 출력하네 ㄷㄷ
Beautiful!!!
I wonder, is he just one of those people that were born with raw talent, in essence a prodigy? Or did he just work very hard and dedicate his life to becoming a master?
How about both?
Talent is nothing without hard work.
LyphejaN7 I hear this often. It's a lazy persons excuse to not work hard. (FYI Preston, I do not think your comment is lazy)
tucnasam Yeah, I heard that a lot coming from lazy people as well. A desire to be great in something is notghing but a desire until you simply do stuff to become as great as you wanted to be or even better.
Artist here is confident in his skills in himself in his eyes that have seen and memorized all he drew, most of all he simply loves it.
Sung Cho he has no more ass.
He worked hard for 30 years straight to get at that level.
Increíble... que maquinón! RESPECT
is it me or could these videos use some music, they're mesmerizing on their own but still
No contruction/reference lines
No rough sketches
My god this mindblowing mastery
THis guy definitely has a brain type that assists him in this, like high memory retention and a photographic memory. dont give me your bullshit attitude of "nothing but hard work, a lazy excuse wha wha wah" . Plenty of artists work REALLY hard too, but cant do this stream of thought drawing like this

Stay at it for some years and you will deffinitely start developing photographic memory with great detail.
Did my reply get fucking deleted? What the hell? I don't see it here anymore.
M Jans its a photographic memory which comes from obsession :) obesession cant be taught .
Photographic memory doesn't exist.
No such thing as a photographic memory.
Absolutely stunning !
this guy will make you quit drawing literally
This man is incredible. I question my abilities as an artist now.
he sold his soul to the devil for this, i know for sure
if i can buy that talent i will give a blow job to devil
selling soul to someone requires being his hoe
What this man does can be summed up in one single word: MAGIC
The guy is not from this earth
he just died, sad. RIP
It's like DAMN, where do you go from here. Whatever he conceives- he draws; no hesitation from his imagination to the paper.
human or printer ?
Printers usually need a picture to print something out, do you see this guy using any reference?
Penuh dengan makna...........................aku suka.
mejor callate la boca :D
Chococrispi
E
No tu
Wow 진짜 멋지다 어떻게 저렇게 그리지 대박 Korean artist!
That's amazing. I just started drawling with my brush pen and this has really inspired me!
Talent and focus beyond belief!
Holy shit. One of the most impressive things I've ever seen. Unbelievable.
THE LEVER OF DISRESPECT TOWARDS FELLOW HUMAN ARTISTS IS UNMEASURABLE
My favourite artist on the planet
I was remember being puzzled at why his drawing's didn't have a lot of details/tighter lines.
But now after learning to draw, i realize why =x.
It's all about gestural, which he's done magnificently well - simple and effective (it's actually difficult to do.)
No need to overdo the details, focus on one thing too much you waste time/energy, and on a drawing this grand would become a mess to look at.
I will take a guess and say the type of person who would dislike this guys art would be other artists who would instantly know, that no matter how hard they tried, how long they lived, or who trained them , realise that they could NEVER even get close to this guys abilities.
