Glad Proko summed up the most important point. Everyone desires a built-in excuse to not reach their potential... some magic power that they don't have any control over. The fact is, he simply draws more than everyone. Anyone reading this could become a master artist, but they make the decision every day not to live up to that potential. Even being hyper-observational is a side-effect of drawing constantly. Go draw something you random youtube comment reader!
Thanks for the homework! Here's one for you: Look up the term obsession. That dogmatic cadence in both the video and your comment is really disturbing to the otherwise great content. Yeah he draws a lot, we get it.
No need to feel attacked. No one is saying your life has more or less value if you become a master artist. The fact is, lots of people want to know what it takes... and the answer is, it does take obsession. It's up to you if that's good or bad. Obviously, I see the positive in it.
a chess grandmaster sees the way the pieces are laid on the board and immediately draw from memory of what should come next. They've seen almost literally every combination that nothing almost surprises them. Think about building a vocabulary and then using them in your daily conversations. It's like that for these masters...ofc with vocabulary some people might just invent words like hice (a made up plural for "house" because "mice" is a plural for "mouse") and it might catch people off and disorient them a little.
Like he just said, no secret in learning how to draw: 1 - Draw every single hour, every single minute, every single second. Find excuses to draw more instead of finding excuses to do useless stuff; 2 - Learn the fundamentals, they will help you to improve in every aspect of your art; 3 - Draw the things that you like and things you don't like. Both are important; 4 - No more ideas? Back to studies. Also draw what is in front of you, as long as you're drawing, you're progressing and improving other drawing skills. There ya go. It won't work only for drawing but for other things like cooking, maths, etc. The more you the better you get. Good luck guys👍👍👍👍
@@erroryaw216 tbh you cant call a drawing bad. Every drawing has some meaning. I have seen many drawings which dont even have proper lines but it looks attractive and very creative. Every drawing is good it just depends on the person viewing it. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
@@Lucas-qn1ix Wtf are you talking about? He didnt say that he "Specifically" wouldnt succeed, hes just saying that not everyone will be successful which is obvioisly true. With winners theirs always losers and vice versa.
Actually, the Japanese fandom for Kim came to be when Murata started praising him on twitter in March 26, 2012. Murata: "I've just seen the absolute last word on inking. So there are so many geniuses in the world whom I've not seen yet... *I've decided, I must become as good as him by the time I become 40 years old!"* Japanese fans started buying Kim's illustration books after that.
@kamenpower simple: to make themselfs feel better about their own inability to do something. they are lazy and not willing to admit that it took years of work and dedication. something that they can't explain to themselfs, because they never experienced anything like it. so it must be something else, like talent, right?
This guy is soooo like me. I say what I think, dislike political correctness and if I truly want something, be it skill or an object, I'll go to hell and back to get it. I'll be an artist, for now I'm a novice, but I draw for hours every day. I'll get there.
Whenever I loss motivation or think ''dang, how I was supposed to get better?'' I always look either this video or some Kim Jung Gi's archived livestream. He was the reason I started, and his passing was the reason I almost stopped drawing. I don't think I will ever see an artist like him on my lifetime. I don't think there has ever been someone like him, or will ever be. But I'm grateful that I lived on a time when we could all watch him draw.
I believe that any talent or skill is either taught or self taught, and there is no innate skill because nobody is born with with skills, but what happens is people have affinities and develop interests which lead to them being spending a lot of time studying the subjects, like how Kim Jung Gi studies and observes his environment even when he's not drawing. I know I'm being pedantic
Michael K I disagree but respect your opinion. I have seen kids with raw talent produce images that an adult wouldn’t be able to compose I think it’s definitely a mix of both i am 35 and still learning so much
@@LogicbyDesign Yeah and you think you know how much time the kid has already invested. To count on the age is just an excuse for other excuses who older people do if they recognize that a far younger one is capable of things they can't. Second famos excuse is "things went otherwise in 'my' case" or "I cannot spend that amount of time for that b/c I've other things to do..." although they might be infact true it also just projects to an aspect which is called talent. Just to start early (whether it is interest or by force (look on Chinas kids how they get drilled to skill and raising up to the TOP). You can't sell me they have a glass ball which is capable to recognize that a 3 year old is talented in piano, art or music. Just drill and they comes to skill. Look at those 6 year old who play Mozart on the piano at supreme quality. Many piano teachers ain't capable of - by your explaination it has to be talent but it isn't obviously!
BruceCLakeriver wtf are you even talking about lol im not sure what your statement has to do with the fact that raw talent actually exist in this world lol
P0T4T0Turtlez. It looked more like he was going to throw a shuriken across the room at him. (Not being racist bla bla bla) EDIT: I meant not being racist by the fact that I know he is Korean, not Japanese, and there is a difference. I just thought I would add this because some pedantic people out there will point out the joke's flaw or get offended by it (or maybe even both). I wasn't trying to be malevolent.
@@Deathbianca It's Pentel pocket brush pen, but you are making a mistake thinking a brush made him great. i bet he could draw with a fork soaked in the mud and still be awesome. go find your own favorite tool and have a nice work
I first discovered kim jung gi in my early college days and the way he drew blew my mind. What he could do without any erasing, construction lines etc, is absolutely incredible. I actually got to meet him when he visited my college a couple years later which is a memory I will cherish forever. I personally believe that Kim Jung Gi was the greatist modern living artist by far, no one can do what he could do. And not just from his pure drawing skills but in the way that he has inspired all of us. I could not believe what I was reading when I found out that he passed today, he was a hero for all of us who are studying art. Rest in peace to the king, the absolute legend and a spiritual teacher to us all
@@silverdragon122 I know that's exactly why it's so funny. You could hand this guy a crayola and he'd still blow people's minds. It's why hes so sick of it.
He is hunting for his secret, but he told him his secret right at the beginning.....but no one wants to hear that. Just like every other master at anything.....he did it more than everyone else. No secret. Just passion and hard work.
Haha I'm grateful that you totally understand. Practice. Then if you're not satisfied then keep practicing til you are. It's so annoying how the impatient think there's a secret. They say I can only draw stick figures. I used to as well but then I kept going and leveled up. Kim is on a freakish level but it's achievable if it's your life's mission. Love art.
I don't think that's quite accurate. That's not his secret. Admittedly it is the bread and butter, and many people want to ignore that, and look for what we might call a secret but what they really want is a *shortcut*. Another thing to consider though is that self-knowledge is rarely, if ever, complete. That is, the idea that we are all rational thinking machine the fully understand why we do what we do isn't necessarily true. In fact, I levels of self-knowledge aren't even necessarily correlated with great skill and talent I think they can be, but they might not be. In other words, this guy could be a supremely talented artist and not really know why he is. Of course he understands the technical aspects of how to draw, and can explain his technique and so on, but the Deep almost metaphysical roots of his talent may very well be something that eludes him, it may be just as much a secret to him as it is to us.
Practice really is the secret. There are so many people who quit drawing for years after the first drawing because it looks bad. But it looks bad because they dont have skill. They dont have skill because they dont practice. They wasted years doing nothing when they could have practiced
13:49 is the most heartbreaking thing I have ever heard. I would not be drawing without kim Jung gi. I owe my life to kim Jung gi❤ rest in peace. You were truly the best to ever do it
I dont think ink is a must, even with pencil you can F up big time if you r using right paper :D. But i agree using traditional method to learn drawing is the best way. Many r going straight for digital art with all kind of tools to bypass the skill, so that they will get result much faster, yet wont be able to make a solid art on paper.
@@joshuas9600 Specially because of this: this artist youtuber named ModernDayJames on his series on how to become a GI he drew a car in like 5 point perspective without guidelines.
Im seeing this again, 4 years later, and knowing that we wont see any more of the pure joy this man had makes me want to tear up. Im so glad you did this interview Stan. Thank you.
I think my favorite part of the video was when he said he was in the military and could not draw because of how intense it was. Instead, he drew in his mind visualizing the structures around him and touching and feeling things. He just couldn't turn it off.
but you gotta also take care of your body. it's weird i just saw a video in which the man says ya gotta balance it out so that you don't trouble yourself with physical problems then i see this lel but i'm sure kim jung gi takes care of himself as well well with all that traveling it's already quite the exercise.
For the negative people: *It's not a photographic memory.* It's a large visual library from practice of anatomy, like a doctor. Use models to do this quickly. I can almost do this with two years of practice. I don't have great visual memory compared to most people. It's s skill not a "gift". Edit: Sinix already said it. lol.
@@skat0rzZzz lol Alright, you. I stressed this because people will often use biology as a cop out. I only use biological arguments when it's impossible to explain something otherwise. I am not great with memory, but I have been building a visual library over time and can do something similar in a small scale when I couldn't before. I imagine that with more practice I will achieve something similar based on this trajectory.
John NoNameGibbon you can say this but there’s no proof or evidence that’s it’s good or right you could think that you’re good maybe egotistic or you don’t see you’re mistakes now also this isn’t just his memory it’s also his creativity
If you draw something a lot, you begin to be able to replicate it and the techniques from memory, because when you first drew it you studied it a lot. So I don't think its as much of a photographic memory as much as just an insane amount dedication and time hes put into his craft. Honestly he probably doesn't like the notion of him having a photographic memory, it makes it sound like he was born with this talent, when it really came from hard work and passion.
Exactly, the guy can draw your face in steampunk cloths like it's his signature... hes not a superhero, he has mastered drawing... I wish I could do the same with painting
Talent is real. It doesn't mean you don't need to work hard. Talent means you will progress faster and more than others because you have a better understanding and intuition of a subject than the average person. Fact is that most people who learn to draw, even those who keep going for decades and decades, will never be as good as Kim Jung Gi. Just like most who learn to play piano and keeps playing for years will never be a Mozart.
Pope Suavecito XII yeah talent is real I agree with you, I never had a talent for art or a passion I just drew a lot more because it would keep me busy, there are a lot of people who are better than me at drawing, but I just draw so I can say I do want to pursue in something. My real talent comes from games but I don’t play them, I only do to sell my accounts to make profit off of it.
@@popesuavecitoxii2379 Talent is just the innate ability to understand time and space, faster. I have this. If I focus and am interested, I learn faster than anyone I've met. If I am not interested though... I am the worst at it and it depresses me to think about let alone do. I can't hold down a "normal" job but can make a living doing what I want, when I want and how I want. Not many have this ability. I should draw more though.
I felt bad when I saw that cause up to that point those were the only two questions I was thinking about- and I'm still searching in the comments -👀 where can I cop those pens?🤯🤣😄💀
Apex level artist. Whenever I feel stuck, I just watch him go and the urge to draw is immediate. He is like a force of nature. Like watching lava flow. He is the embodiment of a child drawing for pure pleasure. Except he is a gd master.
It is a grind. It's good if u love doing it, but it's still a grind. :D @@zaidaliahmed7869 I spent many hours in world of warcraft grinding lots of stuff, and I loved it, but it was still a grind. :D
@@LayllasLocker well i think how much of a grind it is depends on how much you love it he loves it at an abnormal level you can just see it he said himself he always drew even when he was a kid
His art shall live on! It's such a big heartbreak to hear of his passing when we were all expecting his creations to go on further. The art community will surely feel this one. :( may you Rest In Peace, Kim.
It was an amazing experience to see him perform when he came to my university. I felt inspired and I was in awe when he showed us his sketchbook filled to the brim with so many things, both imagined and in-the-scene drawings. He usually draws his paper and pen or brush in the foreground to show he was there in person. I remember the presentation classroom filled with so many art students and other students from other majors just to watch him. He showed us how he approached perspective, points of view and though it was late and I remember feeling a bit sleepy, I did not want to miss anything. The next day, he visited my illustration class and it was so amazing that we could all draw on the same paper as him. It was so fun working on the banner with him, I will never forget it! Love his work!
Maybe he would feel like a misogynist if he would stop visiting schools in the US. Everything is misogynistic to young Americans nowadays it's terrible
I will be like him. I'll practice, practice, practice and practice and be a legend and the world will see me. I've been practicing daily for almost a year now, and recently I doubled my daily amount of practice. 10 years, 20 years, I'll get there. To the sketchbook!
"I don't even draw my own family why should i draw someone else's." I should use this phrase. I end up making a bunch of excuses when someone asks me to draw them -_-
That was great answer, people ask me a portrait of they family or they baby all the time, but I don’t enjoy doing portrait of others, I have more important people to draw, and I don’t find the time, I don’t think people understand, how much time and energy goes in it.
every few weeks I come back to this video and get so emotional, I've lived and breathed drawing since I was little and this man is my biggest inspiration. To know his hand will never bless paper again makes me so sad. REST IN PARADISE
The part of his brain that allowed him to draw in 3D since kindergarten is also the part that makes him unable to stop drawing for too long. For him, not drawing is harder than drawing. He probably draws in his sleep.
Love Kim Jung Gi! I have seen as many Kim Jung Gi documentaries as I could, even ones in other languages that I dont speak, and this is the best one by far. Thx Proko for the thoughtful questions, your humor, and the genuine wonder you transmitted all throughout this video.
A friend in art school introduced me to Kim Jung Gi. I was surprised when I saw on his Instagram, videos of book signings where he'd make a complete drawing instead of just a signature. I've been a fan ever since. This video just motivated me, I'm in a moment in my life where I really needed something like this. Thank you Proko!!!
"What kind of pen do you use?" Kim Jung Gi: TRIGGERED!!! Thanks for the likes fellow artist. What makes this even funnier is the fact Kim didn't need a translator to understand what the guy said.
His face x,D hahahahahahaha but if anyone was actually interested it is the pentel brush pen. They come in many colors not just black and if you travel a lot they also have the pocket brush pen
Corvus_Rose thanks. its my first time seeing this pen in action and was hoping to find out what kind of pen it was. im sure he gets triggered but should still answer since there can be a kid watching for the first time.
this man blew everyone's mind away with his stuff. We all strived to be a fraction like him, begginers and pros alike. His voice in the art community won't be forgotten. Thank you for everything Kim.
In his interview with Bobby Chui, Bobby asked about the secret behind his memory power, if he practiced meditation, used drugs or something like that. His reply: I have no secrets, except from doing a lot of mastrubation
@@rheakurokawa Agreed. It seems really silly when you have a voice actor over their normal voice. It's even worse when they fake an accent. Utterly awkward.
hearing his future plans and reading the news today 2022.....I almost cried, now you can rest in peace Master Kim, an awesome human being and draftsman.
"When I was inside a military aircraft waiting to parachute down, I would observe the internal structure of the aircraft, and draw it in my mind." no wonder Kim's a master, man's always drawin, even when he _doesn't have a sketchbook_
Deer H Well, try simplifying things in your head while looking at something, see perspective lines in a street, turn them all to shapes and lines and tones and light. Simplification is the key
@@_____._..--_ I agree with you, yes! You can examine and simplify without having a sketchpad on hand - it's a valuable skill hat you can practice anywhere, any time.
For those who want to watch it 09:20 Someone who draws in their mind is already obsessed and has already partake in "visualisation" (referring to those Law of attraction philosophy).
@@runneypo no newclouds right if he was "talented" then he wouldn't have been practiving since he was three years old theres no secret pill or innate skill he used or had he practiced a ton since he was a young child and got to where he was people want to believe its "talent" because saying you worked since you were three doesnt fit with them saying "i suck because im not talented"
@@cole7638 What i mean by "no its actually both" is that it's obvious that he has put a ton of work into it, that much is obvious but there are people who have also put in as much work into drawing and don't even come close to his level. Having talent doesn't mean that someone will instantly be a good artist but someone with no talent wont be able to just grind themselves into being the next kim jung gi. In practice though it's best to forget about talent vs hard work because it can be very damaging to starting artists by either discouraging them or inflating their ego to where they just dont work at all.
September 25th in Łódź on Comic Festival had opportunity to met him, took a picture, bought his artbook, hug him, say to him that he is inspiration for me. Now I feel heartbroken and incredibly lucky simultaneously. He was THE ARTIST. Rest in peace Master. You will be in my memory forever 😢
@Richard WAGNER he uses all kinds of materials. he doesn't just use one pen. He uses the brush pen mostly for his big drawings. but when drawing in his sketchbook, he uses a lot of different stuff. Oh and materials don't actually matter to be good at drawing
after having received the news today i am so heartbroken. this guy inspired and influenced me so much. I dropped out of school to do art because of him and it was the best decision ive ever made. He is a legend and will be remembered
rest in peace master Jung Gi, i'm sorry for being lazy with my drawing. i'll promise to develop a better attitude. thank you for being a great inspiration.
Super cool to see you featuring this dude. Kim Jung Gi's art has fascinated me for years, his grasp of anatomy, perspective, gesture, color, the sheer size of his visual library was mesmerizing.
If he did all of this from memory, they would be significantly more realistic. He sees shapes ahead of time and creates them organically. He hides mistakes in chaos and overwhelms the viewer with details. Absolutely amazing ability.
it's not the pen that makes you it's the artist that makes the magnificence you can wonder and you may get it and may he a waste of time but at the end of the day you are eventually going to have to find your own art style regardless of what pen or ink your using, you have to know the mediums you want from it
This is the first time I heard about Kim Jung Gi... and after seeing this video I got so inspired by him I decided to pursue art, I'm davasted to hear my fav artist of all times passed away, R.I.P master
This video was my first contact with Kim Jung Gi and was a turning point for me to restart drawing after a gap of about 10 years. This interview is pure gold! The lightheartedness, the pure joy in the eyes of a guy who does what he loves for a living. I'm forever grateful for this man existing at the same timeframe as us. I never thought I could feel so sad about the death of a person I have never met, yet it feels like losing a very close friend. Rest in Peace, master!
I'm no where NEAR this man's level, but I can understand how he trained his memory. Growing up in the '70s (yeah, yeah, I'm old. Let's move on), my two favorite cartoons were "Superfriends" & "Battle of the Planets" (and thus, my love of anime was born early). Since I was already in love with the freedom of drawing, I would deliberately study the faces, bodies & muscles of the characters and try to duplicate what I saw when I sat down to draw. y the time I was 8, my friends in school would ask me to help them with their art assignments. I honestly thought it was weird that I was the only one with a drawing skill, seeing as how we all watched the same cartoons.
I just released a Kim Jung Gi sketchbook tour video! Check it out: th-cam.com/video/OmLkBQmZQM8/w-d-xo.html

2 - Learn the fundamentals, they will help you to improve in every aspect of your art;

4 - No more ideas? Back to studies. Also draw what is in front of you, as long as you're drawing, you're progressing and improving other drawing skills.
There ya go. It won't work only for drawing but for other things like cooking, maths, etc. The more you the better you get.

Actually, the Japanese fandom for Kim came to be when Murata started praising him on twitter in March 26, 2012.
Murata: "I've just seen the absolute last word on inking. So there are so many geniuses in the world whom I've not seen yet... *I've decided, I must become as good as him by the time I become 40 years old!"*
Japanese fans started buying Kim's illustration books after that.

@kamenpower simple: to make themselfs feel better about their own inability to do something.
they are lazy and not willing to admit that it took years of work and dedication. something that they can't explain to themselfs, because they never experienced anything like it.

"I just made three mistakes"
I can't even see one.
I cant see a fukn mistake kim jung gi
you can't see a 0.0001mm line drawn wrong
but jung gi does
@Beemer063 the drawing is perfect ... but he can see what behind the perfection
The mistakes are microscopic
There’s nothing perfect in this world, so we learn to avoid seeing mistakes if we can. Not Kim Jung Gi. That legend can see everything.
"I draw them because they're there" that's a good reason
Yeah, you have to make a decision NOT to include something that's there, it's not the other way around
He meant that it was part of the human body
This guy is soooo like me. I say what I think, dislike political correctness and if I truly want something, be it skill or an object, I'll go to hell and back to get it. I'll be an artist, for now I'm a novice, but I draw for hours every day. I'll get there.
@@MizantropMan you can do it .... keep it up .. I'm supporting and I'm an artist too
its the only reason
Whenever I loss motivation or think ''dang, how I was supposed to get better?'' I always look either this video or some Kim Jung Gi's archived livestream.
He was the reason I started, and his passing was the reason I almost stopped drawing.
I don't think I will ever see an artist like him on my lifetime. I don't think there has ever been someone like him, or will ever be.
But I'm grateful that I lived on a time when we could all watch him draw.
-Are they happy?
-I'm the happiest.

This isn't talent or innate skill,
*_This is literally a self-taught skill._*
I believe that any talent or skill is either taught or self taught, and there is no innate skill because nobody is born with with skills, but what happens is people have affinities and develop interests which lead to them being spending a lot of time studying the subjects, like how Kim Jung Gi studies and observes his environment even when he's not drawing.
I know I'm being pedantic
@@xxx1x47x41x3 I'D agree!
Michael K I disagree but respect your opinion. I have seen kids with raw talent produce images that an adult wouldn’t be able to compose I think it’s definitely a mix of both i am 35 and still learning so much
@@LogicbyDesign Yeah and you think you know how much time the kid has already invested. To count on the age is just an excuse for other excuses who older people do if they recognize that a far younger one is capable of things they can't. Second famos excuse is "things went otherwise in 'my' case" or "I cannot spend that amount of time for that b/c I've other things to do..." although they might be infact true it also just projects to an aspect which is called talent. Just to start early (whether it is interest or by force (look on Chinas kids how they get drilled to skill and raising up to the TOP). You can't sell me they have a glass ball which is capable to recognize that a 3 year old is talented in piano, art or music. Just drill and they comes to skill. Look at those 6 year old who play Mozart on the piano at supreme quality. Many piano teachers ain't capable of - by your explaination it has to be talent but it isn't obviously!
BruceCLakeriver wtf are you even talking about lol im not sure what your statement has to do with the fact that raw talent actually exist in this world lol
"What kind of pen do you use?"
Kim looks at him with disappointment
P0T4T0Turtlez. It looked more like he was going to throw a shuriken across the room at him. (Not being racist bla bla bla)
EDIT: I meant not being racist by the fact that I know he is Korean, not Japanese, and there is a difference. I just thought I would add this because some pedantic people out there will point out the joke's flaw or get offended by it (or maybe even both). I wasn't trying to be malevolent.
YEAH BUT NOW I REALLY WANNA KNOW
@@benbilbrey749 I mean he's South Korean shuriken has nothing to do with that
hahaha! I thought that too
@@Deathbianca It's Pentel pocket brush pen, but you are making a mistake thinking a brush made him great. i bet he could draw with a fork soaked in the mud and still be awesome. go find your own favorite tool and have a nice work
I first discovered kim jung gi in my early college days and the way he drew blew my mind. What he could do without any erasing, construction lines etc, is absolutely incredible. I actually got to meet him when he visited my college a couple years later which is a memory I will cherish forever. I personally believe that Kim Jung Gi was the greatist modern living artist by far, no one can do what he could do. And not just from his pure drawing skills but in the way that he has inspired all of us. I could not believe what I was reading when I found out that he passed today, he was a hero for all of us who are studying art. Rest in peace to the king, the absolute legend and a spiritual teacher to us all

If you could just get the same pen as him, it would solve all your art problems. It's where all his skill comes from.
@@pfistor People actually believe this. That's why artists are constantly answering questions like "What equipment do you use?"
@@silverdragon122 I know that's exactly why it's so funny. You could hand this guy a crayola and he'd still blow people's minds. It's why hes so sick of it.
To quote Fuji from PoT "A great Calligrapher doesn't need to choose his pen"
Basically...
1. Observation skill;
2. Understand the content permits you to manipulate it;
3. Draw a lot !
yup
A LOT
He is hunting for his secret, but he told him his secret right at the beginning.....but no one wants to hear that. Just like every other master at anything.....he did it more than everyone else. No secret. Just passion and hard work.
risesinner I think the fact _that_ he chooses to draw so much makes him special
Haha I'm grateful that you totally understand. Practice. Then if you're not satisfied then keep practicing til you are. It's so annoying how the impatient think there's a secret. They say I can only draw stick figures. I used to as well but then I kept going and leveled up. Kim is on a freakish level but it's achievable if it's your life's mission. Love art.
I don't think that's quite accurate. That's not his secret. Admittedly it is the bread and butter, and many people want to ignore that, and look for what we might call a secret but what they really want is a *shortcut*.
Another thing to consider though is that self-knowledge is rarely, if ever, complete. That is, the idea that we are all rational thinking machine the fully understand why we do what we do isn't necessarily true. In fact, I levels of self-knowledge aren't even necessarily correlated with great skill and talent I think they can be, but they might not be. In other words, this guy could be a supremely talented artist and not really know why he is. Of course he understands the technical aspects of how to draw, and can explain his technique and so on, but the Deep almost metaphysical roots of his talent may very well be something that eludes him, it may be just as much a secret to him as it is to us.
Practice really is the secret. There are so many people who quit drawing for years after the first drawing because it looks bad. But it looks bad because they dont have skill. They dont have skill because they dont practice. They wasted years doing nothing when they could have practiced
To a point that's true, but people like kim are truly blessed with something practice can never achieve.
13:49 is the most heartbreaking thing I have ever heard. I would not be drawing without kim Jung gi. I owe my life to kim Jung gi❤ rest in peace. You were truly the best to ever do it
This man using his inking pen like a PENCIL
@Izuq bom para
Using a inking pen so you don’t make mistakes isn’t really the best way actually
@@coal159 it is a good exercise because it forces you to think carefully before you put a line down so you draw neater and with less messy lines.
I dont think ink is a must, even with pencil you can F up big time if you r using right paper :D. But i agree using traditional method to learn drawing is the best way. Many r going straight for digital art with all kind of tools to bypass the skill, so that they will get result much faster, yet wont be able to make a solid art on paper.
No, he uses it like a pen because he doesn't bother with pencilling consruction lines and detailes before getting into it.

@@yeabutna7309 Air conditioning.
Who else started drawing while watching this lol gotta get that mindset honestly, draw as much as you can
I think my favorite part of the video was when he said he was in the military and could not draw because of how intense it was. Instead, he drew in his mind visualizing the structures around him and touching and feeling things. He just couldn't turn it off.
but you gotta also take care of your body. it's weird i just saw a video in which the man says ya gotta balance it out so that you don't trouble yourself with physical problems then i see this lel but i'm sure kim jung gi takes care of himself as well well with all that traveling it's already quite the exercise.

I already draw about at least 3 hours total everyday
Getting past boring classes are ez now haha
An inspiration and a talent like no other. Rest in peace Kim Jung Gi.
For the negative people: *It's not a photographic memory.* It's a large visual library from practice of anatomy, like a doctor. Use models to do this quickly. I can almost do this with two years of practice. I don't have great visual memory compared to most people. It's s skill not a "gift".
Edit: Sinix already said it. lol.
Post your work
Facts I have to use references
John NoNameGibbon so, just more and more practice? Please do tell more
@@skat0rzZzz lol Alright, you.
I stressed this because people will often use biology as a cop out. I only use biological arguments when it's impossible to explain something otherwise. I am not great with memory, but I have been building a visual library over time and can do something similar in a small scale when I couldn't before. I imagine that with more practice I will achieve something similar based on this trajectory.
John NoNameGibbon you can say this but there’s no proof or evidence that’s it’s good or right you could think that you’re good maybe egotistic or you don’t see you’re mistakes now also this isn’t just his memory it’s also his creativity
If you draw something a lot, you begin to be able to replicate it and the techniques from memory, because when you first drew it you studied it a lot. So I don't think its as much of a photographic memory as much as just an insane amount dedication and time hes put into his craft. Honestly he probably doesn't like the notion of him having a photographic memory, it makes it sound like he was born with this talent, when it really came from hard work and passion.
Exactly, the guy can draw your face in steampunk cloths like it's his signature... hes not a superhero, he has mastered drawing... I wish I could do the same with painting
Talent is real. It doesn't mean you don't need to work hard. Talent means you will progress faster and more than others because you have a better understanding and intuition of a subject than the average person. Fact is that most people who learn to draw, even those who keep going for decades and decades, will never be as good as Kim Jung Gi. Just like most who learn to play piano and keeps playing for years will never be a Mozart.
Pope Suavecito XII yeah talent is real I agree with you, I never had a talent for art or a passion I just drew a lot more because it would keep me busy, there are a lot of people who are better than me at drawing, but I just draw so I can say I do want to pursue in something. My real talent comes from games but I don’t play them, I only do to sell my accounts to make profit off of it.
@@popesuavecitoxii2379 Talent is just the innate ability to understand time and space, faster. I have this. If I focus and am interested, I learn faster than anyone I've met. If I am not interested though... I am the worst at it and it depresses me to think about let alone do. I can't hold down a "normal" job but can make a living doing what I want, when I want and how I want. Not many have this ability. I should draw more though.
Lol obviously. Why would it be sbout memory? He just knows how to draw. Interviewer is so stupid.

Well said
This isn't even drawing anymore. This is going even further beyond. It's honestly indescribable.
Its art on it's all definition, it's the core, the cumulus of art itself. He is the cumulus of artists, and his existence is art itself.

It was an amazing experience to see him perform when he came to my university. I felt inspired and I was in awe when he showed us his sketchbook filled to the brim with so many things, both imagined and in-the-scene drawings. He usually draws his paper and pen or brush in the foreground to show he was there in person.
I remember the presentation classroom filled with so many art students and other students from other majors just to watch him. He showed us how he approached perspective, points of view and though it was late and I remember feeling a bit sleepy, I did not want to miss anything.
The next day, he visited my illustration class and it was so amazing that we could all draw on the same paper as him. It was so fun working on the banner with him, I will never forget it!
Love his work!
Ooo what university r u in
How did he explain perspective?
Maybe he would feel like a misogynist if he would stop visiting schools in the US. Everything is misogynistic to young Americans nowadays it's terrible
I will be like him. I'll practice, practice, practice and practice and be a legend and the world will see me. I've been practicing daily for almost a year now, and recently I doubled my daily amount of practice. 10 years, 20 years, I'll get there.

That was great answer, people ask me a portrait of they family or they baby all the time, but I don’t enjoy doing portrait of others, I have more important people to draw, and I don’t find the time, I don’t think people understand, how much time and energy goes in it.

And practice. People keep parroting "talent" this and "talent" that, but nobody talks about practice.
Correction "insane amount of practice"
The part of his brain that allowed him to draw in 3D since kindergarten is also the part that makes him unable to stop drawing for too long. For him, not drawing is harder than drawing. He probably draws in his sleep.
plz never remove this memory, to me he was one of the best of our time
I don't think the moral of the story is "I should draw more"
But more; "I Should enjoy more drawing"
100% agree with you. You can draw for hours every day, but if you’re not enjoying it then it’s going to be a struggle to actually get good.

@@cole7638 What i mean by "no its actually both" is that it's obvious that he has put a ton of work into it, that much is obvious but there are people who have also put in as much work into drawing and don't even come close to his level. Having talent doesn't mean that someone will instantly be a good artist but someone with no talent wont be able to just grind themselves into being the next kim jung gi. In practice though it's best to forget about talent vs hard work because it can be very damaging to starting artists by either discouraging them or inflating their ego to where they just dont work at all.

Totally. No point in doing the same thing that he does. Just improve your art in another level, you can be better than him in other fields.
But I'm lazy.
Best. Advice. Ever.
Super cool to see you featuring this dude. Kim Jung Gi's art has fascinated me for years, his grasp of anatomy, perspective, gesture, color, the sheer size of his visual library was mesmerizing.
Color? Well, his drawings look better without it to me
If he did all of this from memory, they would be significantly more realistic. He sees shapes ahead of time and creates them organically. He hides mistakes in chaos and overwhelms the viewer with details. Absolutely amazing ability.
whenever I'm demotivated I just come here and get inspiration from great kim Sir . Miss him so much .
He draws so much nsfw art that people tell him to stop lmao what a man of culture
yup
but... what brush pen does he use?
the one that has ink duh
it's not the pen that makes you it's the artist that makes the magnificence you can wonder and you may get it and may he a waste of time but at the end of the day you are eventually going to have to find your own art style regardless of what pen or ink your using, you have to know the mediums you want from it
Pilot brush pen I think
It looks like a pentel brushpen... those are very good if you want my own opinion. :)
@Tiago Rodrigues I love you
This is the first time I heard about Kim Jung Gi... and after seeing this video I got so inspired by him I decided to pursue art, I'm davasted to hear my fav artist of all times passed away, R.I.P master
This video was my first contact with Kim Jung Gi and was a turning point for me to restart drawing after a gap of about 10 years. This interview is pure gold! The lightheartedness, the pure joy in the eyes of a guy who does what he loves for a living. I'm forever grateful for this man existing at the same timeframe as us. I never thought I could feel so sad about the death of a person I have never met, yet it feels like losing a very close friend. Rest in Peace, master!
So crazy he has passed so young. When I came across his work/profile years ago it was immediately apparent he was an extraordinary talent. RIP.
This is a man with a right mindset.
I'm no where NEAR this man's level, but I can understand how he trained his memory.
Growing up in the '70s (yeah, yeah, I'm old. Let's move on), my two favorite cartoons were "Superfriends" & "Battle of the Planets" (and thus, my love of anime was born early). Since I was already in love with the freedom of drawing, I would deliberately study the faces, bodies & muscles of the characters and try to duplicate what I saw when I sat down to draw.
y the time I was 8, my friends in school would ask me to help them with their art assignments.
I honestly thought it was weird that I was the only one with a drawing skill, seeing as how we all watched the same cartoons.
