I just released a Kim Jung Gi sketchbook tour video! Check it out: czcams.com/video/OmLkBQmZQM8/video.html
How can I buy his art
Hehehe
Hey! Lovely video! What background music track did you use @ *0:20* btw?
U gonna ask stupid ass p.c. questions? Hey u should wear your little red hat see how many views u get.
is there a museum of Kim Jung Gi's art work?
When did you realise you had a good memory?
- can’t remember
Bahaha
Lol
lmaoo
Proberly because it was since his birth aha
Probably because he was born w. It.
By the way don't r/woosh me I got the joke
Heartbreaking. You were an inspiration to many. Rest in peace.
At least he doesn't promote NFTs
@@christelleaugustin1695 not now brother 💀
Indeed. Rest in peace
He was? He is. Just now i'm watching him draw more than ever. And the sentece goes tomething like: "Exegi monumentum aere perennius…" and "Non omnis moriar". Just keep drawing ;)
@@christelleaugustin1695 bruh
Rest in peace. We're all going to miss watching him work and the absolute skill/talent he brought to the art world.
Rest in piece.
Yesterday my friend had shown me this artist and I got mesmerized by him and his art and today he died. I hope his special soul rests in peace.
Holy shit! I just heard about him! Rest in peace!
No waaaayyyy
Damn, I can't believe it. Gone way too soon!!!! Damn!
We just lost one of the most exceptional person in the art world, Rest in Peace Kim Jung Gi
So sad news. Came here to see people aknowledge how gifted was this man. A modern Michelangelo
As a young artist am learning from his art, rest in peace Kim Jung gi
if this dude was a manga creator, we'd would have a new chapter every day
@@gaukhar81 not if he breathes it
@@gaukhar81 you never heard of blame right?`maybe a few sentences per book and helluva impressive art on every page.
He did draw a webtoon called TLT
I think he need a friend like Akito Takagi ( Bakuman manga ).
This guy would be more a hentai creator than manga. Doesn't have to think much about the story that way.
To those doubting their own art- this man was on instagram and said he felt intimidated by a lot of other sometimes younger posters, that their art actually made him feel a bit down on his own.
THIS GUY IS A GOD DAMN MASTER AND HE FEELS THAT WAY. So don't let that stop you.
I mean art is subjective, and some do think their art is "bad" than others. This type of things is what kept the industry running. I don't agree with his political views about art that much but his skills is why I have high regards of him.

Do you have a link? I really want to read about it.
@@brayanlopes5222 It was a quote from an interview where they asked him about posting online and such, I don't remember what one specifically though.
Hey, thanks for that man
Still can't believe the news.. Rest in peace Master Jung Gi , your art will live on forever.
He is a legend. RIP Kim, master for ever.
I can say from personal experience that loving the process more than the end result is a vital ingredient to success.
I think so, too
Oh. Rip me so
Может и так, не спорю.
Diavolo wants to disagree.
I know that I play the comparison game too much, and that’s what keeps my focus on the end result. I get intimidated by the artists that I look up to, but they’ve probably done the same. So, I just need to gain more experience and keep my faith. :)
Imagine being seen by this guy while committing a crime
😂😂😂😂😂😂Dead
WONDERS OF THE WORLD. He would Draw his own police sketch 😂😂
Funny !
He’d draw you on your suspect sketch, he’d draw the crime scene, he’d draw your dog, your mom, even your genitalia.
Scary thought lmao
@@pwnwin and the dog's genitalia :)
"Are you happy ?"
"I think I'm the happiest"
I guess we all know why, Earning a living from your passion is the most satisfying work you've ever had.
He will forever be my master and legend that will live in every brush pen stroke we make. artists never die, they just pass into legend. ♥️
He's like the One Punch Man of Art
He drew so much he went bald.
Lt. Stoner 😂😂
Best comment I’ve read this week 😂♥️
And also the ONEPUNCHMAN manga is gloriously well drawn by Murata...these men are astoundingly talented
Good One!
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.
Why do you draw genatalia?
*Because they're **_there_*
A+
Completly accurate answer
it's true though
whe is there??
@@blackisanxious7178 peepee and vjvj
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
Yes he is indeed the best drawer for our time. LEgend will be missed greatly by all
An inspiration and a talent like no other. Rest in peace Kim Jung Gi.
People dont support your gift untill you start to succeed
Very true
So true unfortunately
It touches my heart.
Yes😭
Late reply, but yes! Just last year I got my families of approval to pursue a career in art.
"How to be a master?"
-*Draw and don't care about academics*
He is no master, that man is a legend.
69th like. Nice.
For everyone who succeeds, there might be hundreds or thousands who fail.
I can do that
@@lonestarr1490 if you keep thinking like that, you will never make anytihing great in yor life...
@@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.
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
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 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.
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.
Its been a month man... common.... khammon....
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.
MY NIGGAZ
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.
I am legitimately stunned at the news. Rest in peace, Kim. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and inspiring millions to learn how to draw.
“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all." - Michelangelo
@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?
people are fucking dumb god i wish i could show them how stupid they are
@@limbsmith So, do you need the mirror now or later?
Jerzy Castellanos lol
Did he really say it though? A lot of those sayings are fabricated by people from much later time
"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
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
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.
-Are they happy?
-I'm the happiest.
And that's the goal of life
Not to be happy, just happier than everyone else?
Well if you are happier than everyone else then that’s amazing

Rest In Peace to an amazing artist. You've inspired so many people around the world. Your art will live on forever and you will forever be missed.
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
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👍👍👍👍
Yh u r so right
Lucky me. I took Science without Maths in 11th grade. Now i only have Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
I want to learn drawing so bad i hate it when i can't draw rocks
@@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.
What about burn out tho?
THE FACE WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ABOUT HIS PEN ahahahahah
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?🤯🤣😄💀

@@lautaroarroyo8527 thank you 👍
@@jackieisthebest1able lul
When?
This is the best thing I’ve ever watched on CZcams with regards to how I feel as an artist and only reaffirms how I want to be
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.
"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.

its the only reason

Kim Jung Gi practicing for his entire life.
Everyone: *wow such talent*
Yeah people acting like his decades of drawing hours every day weighs up against them drawing 1-2 hours a week and then say "Oh I'm putting in so much work but we're not the same so it must be talent"
I feel so fucking inspired right now!!!! WHY DID I HAVE TO WATCH THIS AT 1AM!!???
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

Indeed Mikey my boy! Good new vid btw!
Really I don't expected you here huahauuauauaushu
u are awesome man too !! i love all ur work and videos
i like it when u draw the titty
also best crossover episode

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.
Ever since I saw this video I began my art journey and it has been amazing! I am totally in love with art and always strive to be like jung gi! Art is all I think about!
Can he finish Hunter X Hunter for us
Damn best comment
XD!

This man using his inking pen like a PENCIL
And that's awesome
@@Gurimwaru 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.
I can totally relate , he said he still considers drawing fun. It's like breathing , I get that because I also spent alot of my childhood drawing and it was like second nature. We can eyeball perspective and be almost spot on , we observe our world closely and we are fasinated and curious about the details of our surroundings. For me he represents the best of us who feeds his love for this art , and with his dedication to the art of drawing
He became a master of the craft. This is great and I wish him all the best .
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 😢
Forget memory, he has practiced more than we can imagine.
He hit his 10,000 hours before he graduated highschool. haha
@@fakiirificationExactly
fakiirification
How long Ive wasted.
He makes 30 "side" drawing everyday on bought books (after a 3 hours live performance). I am inspired by his work ethics.
Basically...
1. Observation skill;
2. Understand the content permits you to manipulate it;
3. Draw a lot !
yup
A LOT
I'm a beginner in drawing and sometimes, before starting tutorials on CZcams or before following a pinterest post, I just watch this video, listened to this man's stories as I smooth out my grip. The whole video I drew three-dimensional shapes, spheres, cubes and cones. It's very soothing to listen to someone who works hard and achieves their dream.
I respect how two masters of the craft love being curious students of it when the time presents itself. I've learned so much from the two. Especially my all time favorite artist, Stan 😁
The pen he uses in the big drawing is Pentel's Color brush pen, if anyone was wondering.
Or you can find Kuretake Pen Brush. It is similar 😊
Everyone was wondering
what about the pen he draws on the paper with, usually?
Thanks for the info !
thank you :))
Son: Dad, you are a pervert
Him: Lol
Son: acceptable have a nice day

@@ihatealmosteverythingequal820 do you hate me?
watching this video again after he passed, puts everything into a different perspective....some parts just feel very sad now, but it's also a great homage to a true legend and unique talent!

Richard WAGNER i think it’s the pentel pigment ink brush pen. they’re pretty cheap here
@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
@Richard WAGNER good luck with that illustration. :)
@@triisart1721 yeah it depends on how you use them

Really apreciated this mini documentary. I've never heard of this man before. His passion for what he does is truly inspiring.
Watching this was... truly special. I feel like I’ve learned the one thing that’ll make me a better artist now. So emotional rn. Thanks for making this Proko.

I saw this video many years ago. It was so inspiring. It hits so hard to watch it again. Specially the end when he talks about the future and what he wanted to do. He didn't make it. My only comfort is that he spent every waken moment doing what he love.
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.
KJG: I wish they stop asking me about my brushpen
Random: "What kind of pen do you use?"

He looked around like
"Shut da fook up"
Fook, HA fook
@Anna Lialine I dislike
He looked back like WTF yu just say lol
Lol.... no but seriously what is that pen he’s using? I’ve never seen something like that!
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.
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!
This man is the true specimen which shows the world meaning of following and believing in your talent and yourselves.

*Naaannnniiiii?!!* "Why does he keep lying to us, what is his secret!?"
@@yeabutna7309 Air conditioning.
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.
Well said
OMG, I just started drawing to overcome my depression. His drawings are so incredible. One day, I wish I could be as good as he is. Thx for sharing his great story.
Such an excellent video that captured some of the light that this artist had. Thank you Proko.

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".

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
"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.
ChimeraArts hahahhaha
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.
A pilot new brush pen: medium......... I think
I was waiting for this comment because I was going to say it for sure hahahahahah
I started my journey with this;
It was a difficult period and this video gave me such inspiration.
Thank you Stan for the beautiful series about this man, and for giving me the opportunity to dream together with millions of artists around the world.
Blessing to you and to this legend, surely he won't be forgotten.
Love from Italy, by the deep of my heart
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
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.
true!!!
Ejo Aethius People like you give me more hope for the artistic community. Well said!
Yep! That's my problem..
I agreee!!!
Person:"What kind of pen do you use?"
Kim(turns head):"...😑..!!!!!"
Me:O____o "oh no"
Truly a legendary draftsmen who has inspired countless artists.
Rest in peace.
Sometimes when i dont feel so good about my art, i come back to this video, always gets me fired up
"What kind of pen do you use?"
* S H O O K *
i legit ask other people if its really matter what pen artists used to draw.
@@zebimicio5204 I believe it doesn't. of course, your pen drawing will be different from your paintings, but i believe what makes a difference is your knowledge and domain over the fundamentals.
Kim is godlike with his nankim drawings, and this is because of his practice, and i think he would make marvelous paintings with whatever medium he chooses, because he knows the fundamentals by heart
@@filipevasconcelos4409 I know. What I'm implied in my earlier post is that people are too worrid about brush types when they are trying to draw. In reality you don't need any specific brush to draw lines.
The only time different brush types really matter is when they are colouring the character they drew.
what if that's apart of his skill
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.
at the end of the video, when he says "good bye" with his non dramatic atitude just made me cry as a natural response
whenever I'm demotivated I just come here and get inspiration from great kim Sir . Miss him so much .
This guy is an absolute animal. I respect the h*** out of this guys dedication to mastery.
is heck a swear word?
top 10 questions scientists cant answer
@@ihatealmosteverythingequal820 hell
Lol
I think he meant “hoes”
its because he enjoys it
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.
lol i ended up drawing a fairy king lmao
I already draw about at least 3 hours total everyday
Getting past boring classes are ez now haha
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.
RIP Kim Jung Gi. You're art has inspired so many. And may your art continue to inspire for many more.
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.
He draws so much nsfw art that people tell him to stop lmao what a man of culture
yup
i come back to this video every week whenever I'm feeling demotivated
I can’t believe it, I just came here to watch this video to remember his teachings on how to become great at your craft. Now I have no choice but to become great, when I become super successful he’ll be one of the reasons, your teachings will live on. The student shall become the master. Godspeed!
"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 -_-
Have used it too... If they're stubborn... Doesn't work
I just say “how much are you gonna pay me?” And they shut up. And if they lowball me I give them an accurate number and they shut up.
Oof
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.
Because $$$
No asked but background music is : Prelude in E minor op.28 no.4
jkevade thanks
There's also a classical guitar version of Gymnopédie No. 1 by Erik Satie starting at 12:45
Also there's a tiny bit of Asturias in the beginning

Rest in peace Kim Jung Gi, I watched this video for the 1st time last night and when i woke up i learned about his passing. I hope i can learn to be as happy as him one day.
Sometimes when I have a long bout of insomnia, I can get into a daydream state where I can imagine super detailed scenes of any style where I can zoom in and out or pause and reverse and speed up with zero effort. They just come naturally to me, although I can sort of decide what is in the scene if I want to. But being terrible at art, I can't draw it down, and it occurs too rarely. Sometimes it's audio, like a very long debate between 2 people.
