DC Comics Art Academy Featuring Kim Jung Gi

[@azmainzakaria2177]

One of the greatest and fastest artist there is. Wish I was as good as him

[@Fumei-arts]

Pratice everyday for hours that is every successfull artists key to gain such skill

[@archivehans]

bestest is not a word. Use greatest next time.

[@marijhorn]

I hope he will live long and move this next level art and become even more legendary than he already is. :)

[@ipotatosenpai7002]

Work your way

[@John-hp2hg]

RIP you deserved much better. You still had so much to show.

[@Nevermore941012]

One of the only artist I would consider unreachable in terms of skill and talent, the best illustratior in the world, even jim lee thinks of him as a magician

[@adversitycartoons4050]

I’d say Geof Darrow gets pretty close

[@AntonioGuamil]

@@adversitycartoons4050 Geoff Darrow is on a different level, his design work on the Matrix movies has earned him a spot on the Art pantheon.

[@adversitycartoons4050]

there is a purity of fun and exitement in his drawings. an absolute maestro

[@MrDadulence]

"even jim lee", as if he is some sort of benchmark

[@rukawa23gold]

Jim Lee is a amazing artist. Love his drawing.

[@johnnovelravancho8944]

When you put talent, dedication, hard work and passion all together, to describe him a genius is an understatement.

[@Mabufu381]

This dudes skills are like an asian Jim Lee... and Jim Lee is already asian

[@o_infinity_o3395]

This makes to much sense lol

[@MatthewMurraycogswoth]

genius

[@adel616]

Jim Lee is a chump tho. He renders well but his perspective, posing and overall dynamism of the image is terrible. Kim is so far away is not even funny

[@o_infinity_o3395]

@@adel616 Jim has the best batman style tho

[@SunMinGroot]

They both have Korean background. 🥳

[@petearts712]

Just 16 minutes that's all it takes to finish that master piece. Man he is really whole another level

[@Sweet_Karma]

I've never met an artist that needs no reference lol he can draw anything from memory WTF... An actual Master of his art

[@TheNomad2727]

yeah I know,i I have never seen anyone do such detailed work without any references whatsoever on pretty much any subject.... then to put the cherry on top, he does it all without sketching it in... without erasers..... NOTHING but that ink brush and his exceptional ability. It is mind-blowing. A once in a lifetime artist

[@knowgo411]

Agreed! This guy is AMAZING & RARE KIND OF HIS TALENT!!!

[@infinitesimotel]

Because he exercises those faculties, you can develop a perception of perspective and form and move away from construction lines. Most people are too lazy to do it.

[@REIQ]

did you listed to when he said about collecting reference. he does it all the time and practices from that.

[@ismarin]

​@Fack You Some people refuse to accept that extreme talent beyond hard work or application exists, accepting this is admitting that they will never be as good. The truth is that Kim is exceptional and no matter how hard anyone works at their craft they will not get to his technical level. It's not all bad news for other artists, his stories aren't great.

[@AntonioGuamil]

Kim Jung GI has a built in Intel Xeon processor with a bazillion terabytes worth of RAM and his entire body is actually a Wacom Cintiq and his hands are Wacom pro pen with infinite sensitivity.

[@infinitesimotel]

No he is beyond any artificial contraption. This is how humans do it.

[@SunMinGroot]

He keep saying he doesn’t have a photographic memory and he’s not genius. But one thing he doesn’t realize is, genius doesn’t know they are genius because they think everyone else has that ability too. Master kim, you ARE genius!!! ACCETP IT!!!!

[@robertfennis6088]

Why is everybody always asking the same questions? There is so much more to know: Have you always drawn without construction lines or is this a later development? When you draw do you scan the whole paper to visualize the entire perspective or do you just build it up from one point out? Is there any specific order you like to draw faces in and why?

[@basumo_]

a lot of questions that you just asked have also been asked in a lot of interviews, I recall he said that he always scan the entire canvas and always planned a rough construction while also improvise when he makes mistake along the way, he said he barely looks at the tip of his brushpen when he draw, he tried to always see the whole picture rather than focusing on one point

[@koraegi]

Hes just that good

[@GITAHxgCoo]

what kind of brush do you use lol

[@LunyMilky]

Damn, his style is so recognizable I even guessed it might have been him just by the thumbnail alone :)

[@Eric-xk4nl]

Luny & Milky not really, if i had to sum his style up it would be comic art with a brush pen.

[@seniorpz1969]

I love this guy..he ain't worried about drawing from the wrist or the shoulder or elbow, using construction lines, ect...he just draws...

[@zoinksscoob6523]

have you heard ? hes a *MASTER*

[@YTHOLLOWIDIOT45]

His hero name For a Dc comic is King Sharpe.

[@khryssmugot301]

* triggered * it's a brush pen

[@lehlogonolomodise2747]

One day I will surpass this level of meditation, its truly amazing to see an artist exploring the depths of their world to such a degree that it transforms to a meditative practise.

[@MrThankman360]

The way he just puts ink lines and shapes together to make an image is amazing,

[@denniscleary7580]

I bow my head to any artist from DC

[@ivanolarte8924]

Dennis Cleary he is not an artist from DC.

[@DarkGloComics]

Now you see other DC artists in new videos using that pen...Kim Jung Gi, low key changing the face of inking in comics.

[@servancastillo986]

Kim Jung Gi once or twice said that he doesn't like to be called master, because he is ever learning. Humble man

[@lofiguy8136]

One of the most inspirational person in this world! How does he do such beautiful art? My master!

[@alexfernandez882]

He should draw a whole comic, this guy is AWESOME, he is better than the person who draw Justice League Rebirth

[@ignacioramirez4094]

An amazing artist to watch and use the brush pen. The master teacher is amazing. I’m thankful to have the privilege to seen him to his profound work.

[@TanakaZimucha]

Rest in peace!!! You will surely be missed!!!

[@choshinoya2355]

At the last few comic cons, I've seen Jim Lee go to Master Kim's booth to discuss art and watch his work in progress. Other famous artists also comes to him to watch his work. His artistry is leaps and bounds beyond any artists on the show floor. Not only for the details, the speed, but the overall composition of the work. If you ever wanted to watch a living Legend of art perform their skills, please stop by his booth, pick up one of his books (which Master Kim would draw a random sketch for you), and watch his work in progress.

[@speedbagboxer7451]

He might not like to admit it, but he 100% has a photographic memory. As well it seems if he draws something once or twice, it’s in his data bank forever. His skill and talent are off the charts, humbling to watch. Even Jim Lee looks up to this guy. Simply incredible.

[@jessecarrington6194]

Kim Jung Gi is an absolutely brilliant drawing-room artist! Kim Jung Gi is obviously one of the best!

[@KillerTacos54]

What an amazing guy! He’s so unreadable and yet the result is always pleasing!

[@JonnySuite13]

That is mind blowing, just seeing the story just unfold there as he goes along.

[@troychriscarretas2657]

Rest in Power Master Kim Jung Gi

[@LeonardGeschke]

Guess I'll just throw my Batman drawings in the trash then. That's a great talent!

[@caprice28]

I felt the same way when i used look a drawings by Frank Frazetta.

[@MAURICZZIO1]

I'm sure Mr. Kim is the best now and for years to come. Hope to see him live soon.

[@imatimetraveler5760]

I have that pen and it's honestly hard to draw with it. He is a master 😊😂👍

[@MrRemorseless]

14:07 wow I almost teared up for that person who won the drawing ;')

[@restablex]

He is way too good for DC or Marvel... They just don't deserve a master like him. The best illustrator alive. Genius.

[@arjon_5511]

I think Dr Strange went old and started drawing. Really his like a magician.

[@subhanulrizkisiregar8907]

It's very inspiring for me to watch video from comic artist drawing. Thank you

[@XxSilverTheHedgehog1]

That’s really cool! I knew Kim Jung Gi was a comic artist, but I honestly didn’t know he did DC art! Incredible! :)

[@musashiten8170]

Amazing work. I love just watching him draw.

[@TheYetixOUTx]

kim jung gi has the hands of god he so simply transfers his imagination to paper and so realistic at the same time

[@Obamafrfrfr]

Woah, he has a great control in his pen

[@michael.5360]

What kind of brush is he using? Adding varying pressure gives gives him different line widths. I like his tool. I used a Bamboo pen and got some very interesting lines.

[@LKH_Productions]

Please post more things like this! This was phenomenal!

[@insomnia5050]

12:08 he didn't say Batman is his favorite character of all time, lol. Does she have stock in DC or something, come on. Other translations were pretty bad/lazy, but it's a hard job so I gave her a pass, but I had to comment after that one.

[@Novasaur198]

Yeah she kinda changed his words in her own way..i mean that could happen sometimes but small things like that changes his genuine answers. I guess she was nervous lol i wouldnt do any better honestly tho😂

[@alejandroholgado5473]

Es una locura lo que dibuja este tipo...encima a mano alzada ffaaaaaaa que imprecionante

[@lucasnascimento2987]

Wow!!! Man, he is really good artist!!!

[@jayrock200011]

Has Brett Booth or Andrew Dalhouse done any of these yet ? Love this

[@sattesail9762]

Uh.. well I’m 13 right now, and I can kind of do this, but I don’t know how to efficiently practice moving forwards.

[@shayon1174]

Same but 15 Actually I started to draw without construction lines and without reference because of Kim but can't do it very well. Guess we just need observations and tons of practice.

[@gtrrohit5078]

@@shayon1174 thing is I never watched this guy so whenever I drew something I'd have no construction lines I'd start sketching everything right away. But dont rush cause this guys much older than you are. Use your construction lines and understand everything to the foundation until you are comfortable.

[@gtrrohit5078]

1. Let ur imagination flow get a sketchbook and just draw anything without construction lines. Visualise the planning and image in ur head like Kim does. Mr Gi has the horizon line in his head not on paper. 2. Break down this guys work. Its very hard to. Break his work down into 3d blocks and see where the vanishing points are in his work by tracing the lines back to their origin. Doing this again and again you may realize the diff ways in which perspectives are used to show diff things. We see in this drawing of his if you break down batman's head into a square the vanishing point is coming from the left side and the horizon line is above batman since we are looking up at him

[@shayon1174]

@@gtrrohit5078 thats what ive been doing for a year now. Ive improved a lot. Also, diversity in drawing is also necessary. I used to draw only front faces and side profiles years ago but now I have improved my art so i can draw most pf the things without reference.

[@gtrrohit5078]

@@shayon1174 you should use reference as much as u can though that's what I think cause they are observation sources. I never studied art in depth till now but I did have a habit or studying films like the godfather and their compositions.

[@TheSteff1998]

Dude!! he is really good

[@kelvinwen5186]

How does he get the proportions right on the first go? That's true skills right there

[@raidenstark315]

Rip jung gi kim

[@venomtang]

Just bought a mural artwork of Master Kim!!!

[@zekesalazar7643]

He is definitely something else. But I don't think he is a standard that should be incorporated by everyone. He is one of a kind. I see people comparing him to others and saying he is better than people at DC which may be true, but people have to realize you not only have to have great talent to begin with, but also almost inhuman memory to pull this kind of thing off, it's not easy even though he makes it look like it is. Also side note, there is nothing wrong with using reference as a tool, and even though some people don't need it, doesn't make you any less of an artist if you use it. Memory and observation can be considered a tool as well.

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

I really need to go to one of these Comic Cons for once

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

Yesh Studios It’s mostly bcuz of lack of interest, not knowing about it for years in the past and not having any close friends who go to these kinds of things. Location too i guess (i live in Canada)

[@perccobain6745]

What is that ghost figure called Kim who starts drawing at 8:52 - 9:24? Is that something from DC or is that just him being creative?

[@mohawksniper79]

Wow love his work gonna get one his sketchbooks soon

[@Supramonk]

What machine are you guys using for top view live stream in the desktop

[@MrJoejiTakash]

DC should hire him for a special story line with his design in a batman comic

[@PhilChoArt]

The guy draws like a printer, I'm so jealous. Wow, one of the greatest for sure.

[@MardemMoura]

Fantastic!

[@noobert5831]

Cant believe no one in the crowd had any questions for him

Awesome 21 dislike is from some plant not humans. Not mater how good u are alweys is some ppl who hate YOU... Cheers from Poland Mr. Kim.

[@jonjoe138]

My whole life I thought that the real professionals can draw ANYTHING off the their dome from any angle. I was wrong... But THIS MASTER makes me right. I'm really good at observation, drawing people, buildings objects etc. I never tried to challenge myself to record these things into my head. I'm mentally to lazy. Although i could probabaly easily do it with human drawing, I've been into the human anatomy, brachial, latissimus dorsi, gastrocnemius etc, as I was into bodybuilding.... What would be a bigger challenge for me would be to rotate the angle little by little from page to page. I would consider myself a master if I can get every angle of degree in my head, and simply start drawing. Think of batman, and draw him from angle that comic book artist don't normally draw.

[@JimTopdog]

Would he transition to animation?
