"You can't be the artist you really want to be. You can just be you." Wow. That hit me. I love Karl Kopinski's art and humility.

Karl is not only an exceptional artist, he has a certain humility mixed with great wisdom that makes him one of the most interesting people I have ever had the privilege to interview.

This is like two years late but I saw an error in the close captions "Working Saroyan" (at 5:34) is supposed to be "Joaquín Sorolla", a spanish painter of the late 19th century.

I also noticed that the things I was drawing when I was a kid I'm still drawing and painting. Personalities and inclinations I have noticed never change. You can push yourself in a different direction consciously but it is very hard to change the subconscious.

I like his 'humbleness', too; makes you feel that absolutely anyone could become 'an artist'...that is, if they have enough 'passion' to stick with it. ;-) Myself, I have passion to draw all day/night long...; but, I just don't have Karl Kopinski's sheer skill...I think, that's what makes the clear difference between an 'amateur' and a 'professional'. Amateurs produce rubbish just fit for the dustbin; professionals, on the other hand, produce work that you wish to store/keep (stick up on the wall)/buy. I think, the main ingredient that 'professionals' have is they tend to work, seriously; whereas, an 'amateur' like me...just sketches any sort of crap; eventually, though, we wake up and realise that 'quantity is NOT quality!' All I can say is, I look up to this guy as being an 'inspiration'...teaching me how to improve my art; and, not be be complacent with creating purely 'average'/or, below average stuff.

Nah, professionals are just amateurs who got a little farther. They produce plenty of crappy stuff too that no one ever sees.

Most professional artists don't want to admit they are naturally gifted because they think it diminishes their work. It doesn't. The fact is people like Karl are prodigies who ALSO happen to love drawing so much that they never stop. But let's not kid ourselves, not just anyone can become a professional. You need to have a certain level of skill to start with. You'll either never make it if you don't, or just give up eventually because you've finally reached your wall. It sucks but that's the way it is. For every professional artist there are hundreds of people trying who will never achieve a level high enough to make a living off illustration. No one wants to believe it, but we all know it's true.
@monkeymilk80604 жыл бұрын
True professional skill is earned. If someone comes to the conclusion that they arent talented and may never make it to a high level, they have 2 options. 1. give up and accept the suck. Or 2. Keep going and accept they suck. The people who choose 2 are usually the ones that make it because they dont stop trying. You can strive for perfection and get as close as you can or give up and never reach it.

lmao dont read replies my ass , not being complacent and being deligent is one of the keys of being pro, a fuck ton of people will never attain it because its one of the hardest skills to master , takes a fuckton of effort , proper effort and if youre not in a place to be able to do that then good bye, even karl kopinski was trash when he started whats nice is he got proper education and passion

You won't read this but someone else might: look at Jim Lee's drawings from when he was 18. Tell me you can see the work of someone who'd influence comics or who'd influence a generation within that medium. There's no such thing as a genius artist - no-one has fine motor skills from the moment they pick up the pencil, they practice and improve. The difference is environment, being around people who'll encourage you to develop and your own motivation to work. If you're not in the right circumstances it'll be that much harder, but technology has democratised some of those stumbling blocks. There are art communities online who can give you advice, there are online courses like Proko who can offer structured learning ... if you're poor, libraries have tons of material available and if you're unscrupulous the internet means you can download books on anatomy for the artist or the Loomis method. The tools are there, the question is whether you love it as much as some of these people to keep drawing even when you're miles away from where you want to be/where you need to be professionally. I'd love to be an artist, probably never will be which will be a reflection of my lack of commitment to it rather than not being able to match up to Kim Jung Gi's "god-given talent". I don't have the fire to get up and spend hours sketching and imagining and refining every day from age 7 to age 47. That's where the talent gap arises, not his natural gifts.
@Dahpie4 жыл бұрын
Disagree. The gift is the motivation to keep going, unless you repeatedly make the same mistakes without desiring to improve. People use this an excuse not to try.
@thegreathowdini4 жыл бұрын
Naturally gifted? 😆 don't fool yourself, there's no such thing as gifted. Look at Jim Lee's drawing when he was 11, and tell me he's gifted. You'll see he's passion at the very young age and that translates to being who is he now. Where is he now if he stop right there? Maybe an ordinary guy I think. It's like a basketball, mind conditioning and physical training work both together.
