Understand Perspective Drawing like Kim Jung Gi

[@aliceberethart]

Kim is a master. He also has thousands of hours doing the same thing over and over. Don’t be harsh on yourself. You will find your own path. You’re the master of your own art style after all.

[@thedrDraw]

Love your comment, totally agree and I’m happy you shared this

[@marfaxa]

I am the master of crooked stick figures.

[@AngeNamnNamnsson]

I often draw the same place while sitting on the bus on the way home from job. 20 minutes for my own. Trying with perspective like Kim. It's fun and challenging for sure. And it my obsession in the dark time(fall+winter) of the year to me. Sorry for the bad english.

[@dmitrytoushe4533]

Правильно, ели будешь работать больше Кима, то превзойдёшь Кима.

8:33 FINALLY SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE DISORTED, I LOVE YOU MAN ❤

[@jhonmaverick9963]

I've watched many videos explaining this subject, and so far yours is the best out of them! I can't tell you how long I've struggled with this subject, but your explanation solve the many issues I was dealing with. This is truly eye opening, specially the latter parts with the 4 and 5 point perspectives and viewing the world like a lens! Thank you sir! Drawing will be a lot easier now.

[@thedrDraw]

Cool! Happy to hear a struggled has been solved. Keep it up

[@66madwriter]

one of the best perspective explanations I've ever heard. Love that you show how to use it by drawing things, not boxes. The street with lights along the grid was very helpful in understanding how to use perspective to draw.

[@1777DK]

The number for the lens is the focal point where the information is gathered and projected onto the film plane or the chip plane, which is why, the closer you get to that point, the more distorted the object will be as you get more information onto the same size plane. It's relevant to your theory on distorted perspective lines, in the later part og your video, as the shorter your focal point, the more distorted the outer lines will be. This is an important part of the Kim Jung Gi style, as he draws mostly up-close motives, where the distortion is most evident. What is so impressive about Kim Jung Gi is that he builds from foreground to background, without perspective lines or even sketching, he just places his pen, doing all the sketching and perspective in his head, and almost all of his lines are perfectly placed, and the very few that are not we accept as part of the style. It's a truly amazing skill. To master the skill you need not only understand perspective but also relations, proportions, how everything you draw looks and functions etc., a very unique artist indeed.

[@thedrDraw]

Yeah you’re totally right. You’ll need to master a lot of things to do what he does. Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts

[@knightofthetime]

I have to genuinely say I had no idea you shouldn't draw outside your vanishing points. Explains a lot. Thank you, I've not heard that one before and it's an extremely vital information.

[@Legxnd]

This made me see the world in a new perspective

[@thedrDraw]

On point 🔪

[@MarcusVinicius-ft9ll]

It's incredible how you managed to explain all concepts in less than 20 minutes! This was a very helpful video and I can't wait to try it out. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!

[@thedrDraw]

Always happy to help

[@Mightydoggo]

This visualization with the grid might be the best take on perspective I´ve seen so far on this platform. It really kinda opened my eyes. It´s one of those situations where illustrating something obvious just gives you the extra aha effect you needed to actually understand the concept.

[@thedrDraw]

Thanks I'm happy to read that!

[@brandonmackey1414]

Wow this is such a great video! I'm surprised how well you could teach all of that in under 20 minutes. Thanks!

[@thedrDraw]

Happy to hear it helps, let's see what's subject is next :) any requests?

[@rk3714]

I feel slightly "watched" after being made aware of the vanishing point behind me. It's suddenly like being sucked inside of the perspective grid. Great way to think about it. Now I understand how Jung Gi describes almost being able to smell his drawings.

[@thedrDraw]

Yeah the 6th vanishing point is crazy Noah

[@yll9704]

This video show things in a systematic way! I like how you don't throw a bunch of examples but just show a little bit and keep going. It's perfect for someone with some knowledge already. Appreciate it.

I watched many videos on perspective. But trust me, after watching you video, it actually looked simple to me and I got the courage to start. Now I am working with it

[@shyyuen9328]

[@Moonlight_night345]

This is probably the best video tutorial about drawing in perspective! You're the best man! 😭👍🏻

[@Asim1001-g7q]

By far the best perspective drawing video .😍

[@jonpritzker9709]

I finally feel like I understand vanishing and viewing points. Watched many videos that also helped, so I was already aware of the distortion as viewer changes angles, but this finally did it. You CAN include the sixth vp. If you advance the viewer forward, until they are in the center of the sphere, the straight z-axis lines will curve as you look right/left/up/down. Ofc there is distortion compressing area, but you can make it feel like you’re “looking around.” I think Heston’s final drawing does this a bit, as you look toward the left/right edges of the frame, the z-axis lines deviate from the straight lines you drew.

[@akkidamaster]

Thank you for these videos. I struggle to draw my own imagined art but I can copy and draw a reference quite astonishingly perfect. And now I know why I suck. Thanks for making these lessons!

[@alexmccaleb2152]

This video is about as thorough as it gets! Like Kim Jung Gi's videos, you talk about what exactly is supposed to be going through our minds from one stage to another. That's helpful bro. Five Point really is important and supplies our 1PP/2PP/3PP with a deeper foundation of understanding.

[@Zankori]

This is a revelation for me my mind is blown thanks so much

[@kls_drawffer]

Watching this video again helped me refresh all the new things I learned and brings more light to my understanding of perspective. After remembering the key points in your seperate video of 5 point perspective about kim too, along with watching clips from his livestream about perspective and studying and breaking down photos and other illustrations I saw on pinterest really helped me digest all these things easier, and I can now confidently say that fisheye drawings and even some of kim’s drawings (minus the amazing details lol), don’t intimidate me as much anymore!

[@thedrDraw]

Yes! 💪 once you understand it’s all not that intimidating anymore.

Can you make a video with more examples of this? 18:10 ????? I've been confused about that for a while.
