karl and jung gi will forever be my favourite artists

[@JP-eu2dc]

My single favorite sketch artist on Instagram. His art is were I want to be someday. Soo detailed, so well drawn

[@JamesRuddle]

J P Hey man. I think you may like my art. Please check out my Fire Paintings on my channel.

[@jujutherabbit8061]

He just seems like the most pleasant person to be around, really look up to him

[@aliceduren6542]

Me: Yeah! I finished a whole sketchbook in 5 months! This guy: 5 sketchbooks a year.

[@Theoanim]

people do sketchbooks per month or week! depends how much time you put into it. but quality sketches and practice should come first. karls sketches are very good

[@catsouplover7745]

5 months? I take like 1 year

[@scart8571]

Also remember that he often only uses one side of a page 😋

[@lincolny2220]

you'll finish ~2 sketchbooks a year

[@h...........................]

well,I finished an 800 pages sketchbook in 7 months,and his are like 120 pages each (I think,not sure),so I can say I finished 6 sketchbook in less than one year,just put effort and practice in it,you will see the results, doesn't matter if the sketches aren't good,just draw.

[@snapbomb299]

His drawing literally comes to life I mean literally. Looks 5:01

Naniii?

[@marinousmonk8605]

Yeah! It really is. I really want to fill up sketchbooks like he does, since he’s really efficient with his space. It kinda reminds me of how Zalinki fills his sketchbooks. You’ve heard of him, right?

[@Zalinki]

@@marinousmonk8605 haha

[@MizantropMan]

I also fill a ton of sketchbooks, it's that mine are actual sketches and his are... Well, if I made one like that with my current skill, I'd build a shrine and pray to it as my magnum opus. No matter, I will get there and beyond. I will be the new Kim Jung Gi once he retires! TO THE SMETCHBOOK!

[@donlon7757]

that's the spirit!! right there with you :)

[@sunnyenno9468]

Set out to be better than him, that's my goal at least, good luck man

I hope we meet there

[@Mrqsh_]

Jajajaja i came here to comment the same :( my SketchBooks are just experiments and studies from books, and have just like 20 decent pieces that i've uploaded here on YT or on my IG... Anyway, i'm prouf of my first year progress.

[@davidphilipsmusic]

This man is a legend. His brother Stefan Kopinski is an astounding professional artist too. Far too much talent in one family!!

[@bigwijdsljla]

So true. Even his son's sketches that he taped into his book are enough to rival my art.

[@DiabolicalAngel]

Oh goodness, not only is Karl a marvelous artist, he has a fantastic personality! 😍

[@ephie_barrow]

What I like about Karl Kopinski, is that he really shows us that we can and should draw what we want to draw. We don't have to be stuck drawing what we think others want us to draw. It's really inspiring.

[@catsoye]

YES! Karl Kopinski. FINALLY HERE!

[@sirynot1376]

At first i thought the zombie mariachi was moving on its own and i just thought “He draws so well that his art is coming to life!”

[@khaosng1398]

Knowing this guy is from the same place as me and his art fills me with inspiration for some reason.

[@amberdreams_0]

I actually prefer the sketches to the finished coloured pieces - absolutely lovely drawings!

[@thiagots85]

dude, I love him and his work... every time I see an interview with him I need to see it.

[@JamesRuddle]

thiagots85 Hey man. I think you may like my art. Please check out my Fire Paintings on my channel.

Karl's style is so appealing to me. And nothing is better than seeing an artists sketchbook. Thanks.

I could honestly watch this for hours. These tours are so fascinating and the art is fantastic. It's honestly so entertaining.

It's great to see Karl Kopinski's sketchbook! Awesome source of inspiration and he is so humble as a person too

[@raerae6422]

One of the best sb tours ive ever seen! Killer imagination and skill. Zombie mariachi was a stand out 💙 Also, astronauts kinda fascinate me too.

[@staretimecomics]

This was cool to see. Seeing what artists have in style/obsession is thought provoking and fascinating.

[@yassinedjebbari4819]

Karl is such a wonderful artiste, i've always been amazed by his work, very inspiring

What a lovable guy. I have loved his work for some time now but I think I like it even more having spent some time listening to him talk about his work.

[@garrett3338]

Awesome! I'm really looking forward to this series.

[@tcochu]

Karl Kopinski is one of those Artists I found twice. The First Time, he was Part of GWs House Style and was one reason for me to keep drawing, and made me confident that colour is a decision, not a prerequisite of making art. Later I found his art and was blown away...then I realised he was the Guy doing the Art that was so influential to me. So great to see one of my great Art- Heroes here, Since Your Channel Helped me to find Back into Drawing and re-learn my basics and all that.

[@lydieferrand6598]

One word « waow !!! ». I love your art Karl’s, let alone the fact that, for all your talent, you are so modest and nice.

[@rrmolzen]

You should definitely have him as a guest on the podcast

[@ALVILDEJ]

THIS is Christmas, thank you so much! Off the top of my head, bringing James Jean into the studio would be really cool. And Eliza Ivanovna!

[@tonydambe]

5:00 I like this sketch. The values are on point 👌🏽

Not sure who exactly but I enjoy all those great artists’ sketchbook tour. Any artist that draws figure (mainly non-manga style) is fine by me. Once again thank you for the great video.

What a wonderful shot of inspiration, thanks, Stan and Karl! I especially love the name dropping (helping to build that mental reference web) as well as an intimate peak at that beautiful fan art... (Nothing like someone's personal take on a communally shared idea to really highlight their aesthetic personality 💜)

[@nhaybingi]

Am not an artist but I love them...wish my son will be an artist

[@yasurikressh8325]

joseph thuo maybe buy some interesting art books for him. Not those guides but just collections of cool stuff from all sorts of genres. Maybe go to the museum with him or generally watch interesting movies with him. I remember quite many things that I loved at a young age be it from video games, movies, or generally things that made me feel good. That kinda exposure could become meaningful to him which might turn into something fabulous in the future. schools have this way of making things feel tiresome and dull if you let them.

[@sherwinpalacio3227]

Beautiful!

[@gingetaylor4489]

Utterly awesome. Legend, and he's British. What's not to like. Will definitely buy that book from his website.

[@elsagrace3893]

I have no idea who this guy is. Thanks for introducing him, Proko. 😏

[@SebastianTinajero]

I love Karl such a great artist and sense of humor, I love sketchbooks I spend so much time in mine especially since I can take it and draw up a quick sketch on my 15 minute breaks at work p

[@overseezer]

Thank you Proko!

[@Dubb1000]

Amazing video as usual. Mr Kopinski is in my top 3 artist. If you can, I think you should do a video with the Canadian artist David Finch. He does high contrast pencil art, with one of the most unique cross-hatching/rendering style I've ever witnessed. His use of heavy shadowed areas including cast shadows, gives his art real depth. His unique way of cross-hatching and use of negative space, sets him apart from his peers.

[@nephildevil]

Lots of sketchbook tours on YT but only a few are really inspiring such as this one.

[@lostmarimo]

It's just so alive, brings a tear to my eye really. Wish i could just draw what i thought about.

[@hopefulbloom]

I really like how quirky Karl is. Plus his art is amazing.

[@jaytamayo4694]

Those are mere sketches yet for many of us that is already very challenging to draw. Amazing!

I love the sketchbook tours. My recommendations for an artist sketchbook tour is Phillip Tan, Sanford Greene, or even Marshall Vandruff

[@GalleryBry]

[@nj40100]

Yes definitely more Professional sketchbooks please along with the artist's narration!!
