Kim Jung Gi 2018 Sketch Collection (Book Review)

[@JimGiant]

What amazes me the most isn't simply the quality of his work, it's how he can produce work like this purely from imagination with no references, no guide lines and do so 10x quicker than most pros.

[@Dahpie]

I actually disagree that's it's a good thing he toned down his sexual works. The fact that he has expressed how he is saddened by the fact he has had to do this due to his more widespread reputation feels like the exact opposite of being an artist. It's all about artistic expression and he should be free to draw whatever he wants without being burdened by the more politically correct nature of society.

[@thorsten8790]

Yeah I agree even if I don't enjoy sexual art at all.

[@theprocrastinator6813]

yea , blame the publishers for being too nitpicky about the audience. sjw is becoming more and more intrusive that it even affects artists personal freedom in what they can only do

[@thorsten8790]

@@theprocrastinator6813 SJW are the ones in support of perverted nudity lol.culture in general is to blame no political group in particular

[@damirsegon7168]

I agree.. if visual (or textual also btw) sexual content (here in drawing) is needed to free inner expressions of searching for meaningness and discovery regarding sexuality, then so be it. It's done with great expertise and inner insightfull knowledge and understanding and thus also full awareness then it has a green light in my book of views. Also.. in this way it can have an impact on audiences as a mirror for reflecting the viewer 's own sexual feelings, thoughts, visions or longings. It al comes down to points of perspective all around, some directly and perhaps blatantly, some more refined metaphorical translational. Some more focused on the technical aspects of drawing, or the mental, or the metaphysical, or.. and so on, some even all together at once. I think the world of people and spirits can be happy and gratefull for people like Kim Jung Gi. I know I am. Makes me feel less alone. Thank you all also, people who can appreciate art at it's fullest. Let's keep on drawing, if only te be one with it all again.

[@jasonmullins6638]

Amazing! I have a friend who met him in Texas and after his demonstration, he talked to Kim Jung Gi for quite awhile. As they were talking, Kim was drawing in my friend's book..Then he signed it. As he was leaving, Kim's assistant told my friend to hang onto the sketch he did in his book as he normally charged roughly $20,000 for it!

[@teohyc]

That's a crazy price

[@NoFearZero]

Lol that's just not true. He charges 1000 dollars for a commission.

[@jasonmullins6638]

does't he do that for all books bought after workshops? theres dozens of videos of him sketch signing workshop books

[@greyareaRK1]

I like your description of him as a modern master. Prodigy too, it seems. It's amazing to watch him paint. No roughs or planning. The work is already complete in his head it seems.

[@Ubi_reincot]

He actually draws after finishing drawing in his brian He has trained really really hard

[@Garl_Vinland]

“He toned down his sexual acts which is GRaeAT” Wrong.

kim jung-ji, with other great artist, is a very good example of a life work. very nice review, i can't get tired to see his work.

[@damirsegon7168]

One of the leading masters.., if not the leading master when it comes to what you can accomplish by drawing a lot.

[@dexterdrax]

He's an obsessive drawer... If anything like that exists. Proko did an interview and the guy was drawing through it which was after a 3 something hours of exhibition drawing.

[@wanashthegash]

Its almost TOO inspiring, i cant watch the entire video because i just want to DRAW.

[@LeaGalTan]

Beautiful art but way above my budget! Really enjoyed your review.

[@RonaldoBagaRonnie]

I think he is a one of a kind artist who can do this incredible work of art.

[@seanwarren9357]

I wish I could afford his work. He's pretty amazing. Reminds me of when I was 15. Not that I had his background to pull from... I mean that I would work as much as I wanted without being stifled by necessity and irrelavent outside influence. Too bad self publishing wasnt a thing back then. He's probably my single favorite illustrator, counting Geoff Darrow and Sam Keith. Thanks for sharing, and for the feedback on the quality of production. I'd guess the original of that panorama was a huge room, floor to ceiling.

[@thunkules]

Kim Jung Gi published a series of web-comic called Tiger the Long Tail in Korea. Just wanted to let you know!

[@suhiyah3362]

I realize when he open the book The Artist had a eye on his head I've been watching this guy on KZbin I'm like wow he's real good better than good almost too fast and so detailed he's in the zone but now I know why he might draw so good he might of asked a jin for a wish and he might have been granted to draw it reminds of a deal with a jin. Especially when he opens his book with the eye on his head that's a Sigil a powerful sigil marking its territory.. if you don't believe me do your research sort of like a magician with the pen

[@HMC2133]

He draws traditional "Korean" themed subjects. haha! not "Chinese." 😉

[@marvinmccornell758]

I love the way you draw I was I was that good I got to look at things to draw almost little like you ,,, you’re work is super great:

[@drowzeem9970]

I get he is a amazing, a role model, an illustration god etc etc but man.. these books are surprisingly expensive...like ok is good quality, its him, his drawings, but is a book.. printed a thousand times... and these prices... wow... maybe Im missing something I know it has value but... I WANT OOOOONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (JUMPS OFF THE WINDOW)

6:51 no, it is not great! The guy wants to draw genitalias and sex acts... let him draw genitalias and sexual acts... is his way of expression, I would pay 200 usd to buy a book with the lewdst drawings he did! NO CENSURE, NO SHAME! Let's stop with this hypocrisy!

[@SonofSpewy]

He did just that get his book omphalos

[@JohnSoh]

Where's the hypocrisy? I think he's being honest bro. You don't have to call people hypocrites for having a different opinion. That actually makes you the bigoted one. Some people want to genuinely see his work with out obscenities. Why don't they just make a clean version that everyone can admire?

[@a.l.a5666]

Stop ok.just stop! You are hypocrite sorry but this drawings is so great im 15 year and girl and i look this book and this is great you is adult and not know about this?

Self publish and follow his price model. It's not unreasonable and talent I subjective. That said, keep going and find your audience.

After seeing your great review I ordered a copy from the US site-it arrived quickly but it’s NOT the same quality ☹️ The last pages are small, loose sheets, what look like photocopies, actually split in the middle of the drawing, and it just looks (I hate to say this) cheap. I wrote the contact address right away last week and I hope someone gets in touch. But I wanted to give people the heads up that there might be a problem and they might want to wait to order until it’s resolved. 😐

[@SPQRKlio]

Hi! I just wanted to follow up on my comment. It took a while to reach someone from the online store but they finally said to come see them at their table at New York Comic Con. The woman representing the shop said it’s impossible you could have a book with a bound-in full-size gatefold as we can see in the review, and that all the books, no matter where you get them from, have two little loose sheets of paper tucked in at the back! She didn’t look at the review, but she did offer a refund; I debated what to do for a while, but in the end I returned the book and am awaiting the refund now. I enjoy Kim Jung Gi’s art and have most of his other art books, but oddly enough, seeing the gatefold in your review was the deciding factor for me to spend so much money this year, and the customer service was the deciding factor in me deciding to take the refund. I’m wondering, where did you purchase your copy? Did you order from one of the Kim Jung Gi websites? (I’ll check the video and description again to see if you mention that.). Anyway: Thank you for this review and the other reviews of his books!

[@x-changex-outx-oner8224]

I wonder if Frank Frazzetta had any influence on his style . Wonder who else influenced him as well. Frank Frazzetta was/is one of my favorite artists. Good review though.

Teoh are you racist towards us, the erotica side of art?! I'm kidding obiviously.Everyone is free to enjoy whatever kind of art they like, imo for me, it's not a great thing that Kim got forced to "tone it down".

[@teohyc]

I've no problems with him drawing erotic stuff but it would be good to separate those artworks into a separate book on its own which he has done so. Some people like his art but don't like the erotic stuff.

[@eyecred4153]

@@teohyc Yea, separation isn't a problem for me. I'm fine with that because children could definetly study his non-erotica art without being exposed to erotica.Imo I don't really think it's a great idea to expose them to erotica from a young age, then again, there's the internet, they will see everything ^^.
