A Michaelangelo of our ages, a supremely talented visionary artist with masterful skill and a humbleness to match. He unrelentlessly shared his talent with the world through his exhibitions that opened and inspired millions through his magical brush strokes and immense imagination. Never in our lives will we experience this kind of artistic talent again at this scale and level. His work and illustrations will live on forever through time; they will be studied, discussed, collected, and talked about for centuries ! May you RIParadise, Master Kim Jung-Gi, illustrator extraodinaire !!

[@timfosho]

Not to discredit him in anyway because this is incredibly amazing, but I'm sure he has drawn this specific piece before and is just drawing from memory. There is no way he is just coming up with the perspective and composition, as well as all the various ideas, of the piece on the fly.

저는 그림을 좋아하는 한 학생입니다. 김정기라는 사람을 알게된지는 얼마 안됬지만 김정기의 그림을 보았을 때 가슴이 두근거렸습니다. 이 분의 그림의 선을 보면 너무 깔끔하고 부드러우면서 강약 조절도 잘되있어요ㅜㅠㅠ진짜 뭐라고 말로 표현할 수가 없네요ㅠ 김정기는 그냥 천재인것 같아요. 근데 또 천재들이 제일 많이 노력한다고 하잖아요. 머리 속에 있는 다양한 이미지들과 정보를 써서 밑그림도 없이 작품을 완성하는 건 진짜 미치도록 그림을 그려본 사람만 터득할 수 있는 방법 같아요. 저는 아직 중학생이지만 꾸준히 그림을 그려서 언젠가 내가 머리속에서 생각하고 있는 것을 종이 위에 100% 담아낼 수 있게됬으면 좋겠어요. 또 김정기처럼 그림에 미쳐보고 싶어요. 그림에 대한 열정과 노력이 있다면 언젠가 제 꿈이 이뤄지겠죠..? 먼 미래에 디즈니에 입사하고 나서 이 영상을 다시보는 날이 오기를🙏

[@gkgusalssla]

바녜림 김정기선생님의 능력은 천재라서라고 한다면 그의 노력을 배신하는 것입니다. 물론 재능이 있다는건 당연한 말이지만 6살때부터 성인이 될때까지, 아니 마흔 중반이된 지금까지도 하루도 빼지않고 하루에 12시간을 그림을 그리신 분이기에 지금의 실력이 가능하신게 아닌가 생각되네요.

[@MarcGSdraws]

I don't know how to say exactly what I want to say in english, so let me say it in spanish. Es uno de los mejores dibujantes que eh visto en mi vida fuera de los libros de arte, la capacidad para concebir figuras en poses tan variadas, con anatomías tan distintas. La calidad del trazo, y como cada linea transmite movimiento y juega a favor del propio dibujo. La simplicidad de la técnica y a su vez la complejidad de cada dibujo. Me parece sencillamente impresionante.

[@catalinan1535]

Translation: He is one of the best draftsman that I've seen in my life, outside of art books. The capacity for creating figures in various poses, with such different anatomy, the quality of the strokes, and how every line transmits movement and play's in favor of the drawing itself. The simplicity of the technique and in turn the complexity of the drawing. I find it simply impressive.

[@fedymercury2752]

Estoy deakuerdo

[@brasileirosim5961]

Everything in this work is impressive! He begins to sketch a cow, and suddenly the cow is perfectly connected to the rest, as he would have big part of this complex composition in his mind while drawing.

Your art is so perfect 👏👏👏

[@ShinoSarna]

Please note - this man, Kim Jung Gi, is now 39, and entered art school when he was 19. Calling his art a "gift" is insulting, he draws like that thanks to 20 years ( ! ) of constant hard work. What you're seeing is the ultimate proof that working hard and constant practice pays off. Personally as an artist, this is the ultimate motivational video to me, since it makes me realize that if I practice enough, I might be a fraction as badass as this guy - then it all would be worth it.

[@brucek8871]

shinobody It is true that basically anyone could become pro-level at art if they work hard enough. It is a skill like any other that can be taught and learned, with enough practice. However, KJG is not simply pro-level, he is a "once in a generation" prodigy. His mind is simply wired perfectly to do this sort of thing, in a way that almost nobody else can equal.

[@Xqrement]

+shinburner Spot on thoughts :) And this applies not just for drawing and art, but it also applies to those who want to be scientists, doctors, engineers, architects, sports, craftspeople, etc, etc. The key is to practice and being persistent and not give up.

[@victorgaibor658]

+Bruce K I totally agree with you. Even with sacrifice and hard not everybody will become a new Einstein or Mozart. Genius is a reality and that's why humility is even harder to admit for a lot of people that dream to be prodigies. Sorry for the bad english it's not my mother tong.

[@sungkye7586]

I see a lot of whining here, just like I did before. But do you guys see? He got even better than what he was before, like 2~3 years ago. Clearly he is moving forward, even though to normal eyes (like mine) there is no competition or goal to aim further, he is moving forward, toward 'something'. I don't know. I haven't drawn for a while and it made me more objective. But I'd rather thank he exists and does what he does than feeling helplessly overwhelmed. After all, drawing is drawing. What's more important is what you say with what you draw. ( I think.) He's the best what we got so far. I thank that I can watch he draws.
