Importance of Eye Level in Anatomy & Buildings Art Lesson (From Kim Jung Gi)

[@user-ke8vk8bo4j]

Kim Jung Gi: *Draws flawless illustrations freehand with invisible perspectives* If you find this hard to understand, you should look for another occupation. Me: *packing my bags*

[@nononono3421]

It's not hard to understand, that's his point. But you must practice what he is speaking of.

[@osbornyu2320]

The old man in the bg was kinda trolling Kim Jung Gi. Basically Kim Jung Gi asked the audience, "do you understand the concepts that I've been trying to teach?" And the old man in the bg said in a kid's voice, "No I don't~." And Kim basically replied that you should look for another occupation. While I think Kim Jung Gi is partially serious with this joke, he's also goofing around with his friend.

[@FistofSpirit]

I believe it’s hard for everyone to understand perspective, but the ones who keep practicing and learning are the ones who’ll stay in the industry

[@danielrdrigues]

1 thing is understand, another is do it perfectly

[@swapnilchaki8955]

Hmmm, well u cant compare urself with a master artist. Thats disrespectful. He has been regularly practising drawing his whole life, thats why he is so gud. B

I can wash his videos over and over again. It feels like magic every single time. Still miss you every single day so here's my hashtag for you. #KeepJungGiAlive

[@BUGHUNTER6]

Incredible how quickly this man works and all from the top of his head

[@Brunoenribeiro]

it's what happens if you spend like 40 years drawing intensively :p

[@aahhhhhhhhhhhhh]

i think alot of artists see practicing as a chore honestly. i can easily sit all day and draw nonstop without getting bored. its fun to me, i started with 5 pages daily and rn going with 11

[@sunfix991]

Missing these a lot, never met him, never understood a word he spoke, but his face and his voice still sound familiar to me, watching him draw feels like watching my super hero save the day😢 so much respect for someone who i never met... crazy that you left so early... i guess the universe always wants the best ones for itself.. i just hope you are drawing RIGHT NOW, wherever you are sir.jung gi. Your knowledge is very much apreciated and theres still not enough you out here😢

A good way to get into the mindset of Kim Jung Gi, is to see the world in 3D the same way as a 3D program. A good way to do this is to open up a 3D program like Blender and experiment with boxes and see how the angles change as you move it in 3D space. For example, you can see having the top of the box at eye level will produce a flat top, but the bottom of the box will have sharp angles in comparison because it has to "reach" further to the horizon and vanishing points. I learned a lot about cross contours from blender. In my opinion it's a must have for a beginner; it's so helpful to see the "correct answers" in real time. This requires that you know how to move the camera in blender, and even set up a camera with the guides on so you can see the eye level. Blender also has a 3D grid that you can use as a perspective guide.

[@Daniel-tx2vt]

Something i really want to point out in this video is to take notice on how many lines he uses to get across the subject hes drawing to us the viewers. For example somewhere around 14 minutes notice how he draws her book with very quick gesture lines and just enough info to see that its a book. Honestly thats like one of the biggest take aways from this video.

[@rafaelalmeida3746]

​​@@mralabbad7 exactly. When you start to study his work you can see the similar drawings he made for years and years. Similar positions, ideas, backgrounds, perspective and on and on. That's the way for you to be able to draw by "imagination", years and years of study and repetition.

[@heyheyrenee449]

A very good discussion on backgrounds! Thank you for the translation!

[@AnnapurnaEnjoyer]

I really love watching him draw

[@joelsbowlsarejoelsgoals9636]

I understand what kim means when he says the human isn't separate from the background/rest. act as if the human is just another prop or part of the background and not* as something that is going to be harder to draw because we associate humans and the main focus to be harder to draw. that's what I got from it

[@Weenadawg]

tbh i rlly needed these reminders to work on fundamentals like perspective

[@wadya69]

That's a great lesson from a true master!

[@Narsty_Boy]

AMAZING LESSON. I haven't drawn in a long time, right now I'm applying this principle to simple cubes and cubic cylinders. Then I try to do some stairs. In the spirit of Kim Jong Gi, adding a slight fisheye effect helps to emphasize the angles, making them easier to understand. I'm having a great time learning how to recognize not only the horizontal eye level, but the vertical equivalent as well.

[@GuestUser-jf8uj]

For people that have a hard time understanding it, you just have to understand 1 pt, 2pt, 3pt, perspective, and how you'll see the top of a box if it's below the horizon, you'll see the bottom of the box if it's above the horizon, and you'll see less or flat top if it's right by/at the horizon. The farther the box is away from the horizon, the more open and sharper the angles will be, the closer it is, the flatter. By simply having 1 line (such as the angle both eyebrows are tilted relative to each other) you can imagine where the other lines are beginning to fan out towards a vanishing point/horizon line. I'm also a beginner so feel free to correct me where I'm wrong.

[@bubsenseijebe2993]

wow very helpful. his first line determines the perspective of the whole thing

[@yasserrek9681]

Interesting, so instead of just thinking of anatomy and all and drawing just a character, you draw or imagine a horizon line draw two characters and a bg connecting every fundamental lesson together into one pieces which will teach you how to draw bgs , creatures and characters all at the sametime , ill try it.

[@PolymerChan]

how can someone get a free fucking tip from Kim Jung Gi and leave a fucking dislike ???

[@reedfish99]

So, just before I change my life direction... is he saying that when objects are on the same plane, they converge to a point in the eye line, but not necessarily the same point. As the sitting girl and her desk are rotated. But a pen on her desk could recede to a different point, on the same eye line.

[@tomjames5706]

@Whitemana88 so what if the entire desk was rotated in a way where it didn't converge to the horizon line? would that mean it just has its own vp?

[@tomjames5706]

@Whitemana88 well not in an upwards rotation but if it was rotated let's say to the left where it doesn't converge to the horizon like or if it does it's no where near the other vps than it would just be its own individual vp? Like a small pencil case on the desk obviously doesn't have to converge to the horizon line.

[@rafaelalmeida3746]

Exactly. The thing is for you to decide the eye level and find the horizon line. With that you add your vanishing points but you can add many for different objects. The thing is to respect the horizon line.

[@fernandoviniciusmorlin5767]

Great job! Thank you.

[@pedrojrcedano1134]

Brush pen?

[@Jesusx23x]

question. Whats happens when one part of the body tilts? Does that part of the body still converge to the same horizon line?

[@moseska9050]

Jesusx23x the horizon line basically its the eye level or the camera level notice the hands in the pose he draws the line coverage to different points but the eyes level stay the same

[@nononono3421]

Draw the body as boxes for practicing this and it will naturally answer your question.

[@art_tale]

Short answer: no, that part of the body is on a different plane, and will converge to a different horizontal line

[@dr.frankenstein6434]

it may create new vanishing points but the horizon would stay the same example if you draw multiple characters in one scene they all share the same horizon this decides what part of the character and scene youre looking up or down at applying this more to what you said imagine a fist pointed straight at you in perspective at eye level all youd see is the fist knuckles thumb most of the arm if not all of it would be hidden as the arm is lowered the vanishing points bring the rest of the arm into view as the fist pulls away from the horizon line and thanks to foreshorting the first would still be bigger then the arm if this is an extreme perspective like the hand is very close to you then it will seem to shift from very large to normal pretty fast and drastically ( while the arm is going down in perspective from the horizon it makes this shape / \, | | imagining those lines represent an arm and for an arm moving up its the opposite \ /, | | the fist moves up over the horizon getting smaller untill its normal size straight over their head any further back it begins vanishing into the horizon getting smaller) another example could be if say the man he drew bent over like he was picking up a coin well our eye level is around his waist lets say he bent pretty far so now hes below eye level his body is going to be pulled up towards the center creating a triangle and we would probably see some of his back you could imagine lines going from his hips, shoulders, head, etc towards the horizon everything still stays in line

[@Nicolas-of6li]

just read a book about perspective.

[@justinstorm]

Is the eye level where the lines converge to

[@TheKevphil]

Want people in a scene to always be "correct" in depth? Hang their eyes from the same horizon line, and resize as needed. My 1.5 cents worth.

[@mihail5927]

You should not be put of by what he was saying..”if you don’t understand this just get another job, you’re not meant to draw”, in my opinion that was arrogance, a normal person interested in drawing might have talent for it, but not understand what he said because he or she doesn’t know the basics of perspective and can’t see or imagine what he was describing, on another page, one who knows the basics can easily understand what he’s talking about either if he’s talented or not. So, listen to just the skill advice on this video, don’t listen to any “career/life” advice, and don’t be put down for not understanding this if you like art, because in my opinion, what he said was out of arrogance and not clear enough.

[@enesar6797]

No he’s absolutely frikkin’ right unfortunately. To do this as a career, this stuff has to come to you like clockwork and as naturally as breathing. He’s not speaking about hobbyists and people who enjoy drawing and want to advance personally. This is him saying in his way how hard this career is and how much like a fish in water you have to be with your skills to get in the business.
