First off, I learned a lot from this video, but I have my... thoughts. Draw like Kim Jung Gi... that depends on what you want from your drawings. I'm a writer first, but I also wanna learn to draw because I wanna draw comics of my stories, maybe try my hand at some animation. Sure, if I could do it in one go like Kim, I might be slightly(or significantly) faster, but that isn't really necessary for my goal. I respect what Kim Jung Gi did. Each time I see a video of him free handing a figure with perfect accuracy, I'm blown away. I'm impressed by his work process, but I'm not a fan of his drawings. They're not a style I personally like. So although I also want to be as fast and fluid as him, I never thought of trying to be like him. And I don't think anyone should try to be like somebody else. Just try being yourself. Sure, you might like the style or process of someone else and follow it, but, in my opinion, should always try to make it your own. At the end of the day though, what matters is your end goal. What are you trying to do with your drawings. Do you just wanna sketch away? Do you wanna make a game? Do you wanna draw a comics or animation? Different goals have different processes, different paths to reach the goal. For me, even if I use searching lines, make a bit of a mess, can't really do freehand perspective, need to use reference for a scene I'm trying to construct, I can live with that. Sure, I'll do my best to improve myself, but at the end of the day, for me, the finished drawing is much more important than the process, however enjoyable or frustrating it might be.

Hey Jack! This is a great comment. I’m in agreement. The only thing I would change is maybe someone’s end goal is to be like someone else. Which there are people who make a living making copies. So even that is an option. But yeah. Everyone’s path will look different and it will add up to make you who you are.

Hey Ragingnoob! Thanks for the feedback. I’m still trying to work on quite a few things and have neglected quite a bit of different figures, like figures with more and less body weight. So there still quite a bit to be learned. I am curious though. As I don’t think the advice is a “must”. Imagine trying to convince Stephen Zapata that he needs to not neglect his female figures. I’m not sure he would be concerned. However I do take this as great advice for me and something I will work on but if you have a limited time you can’t always work on everything at once. As you can tell from the comments on this video, I still have a lot to work on.

@@Mr.TOONz. I still stick by what i say, why? because it's only beneficial in the long run, like yes you can totally be a successful artist by only drawing women that's totally a viable path but wouldn't you rather a artist draw girls because they want, and not because they *have* to because there knowledge is limited and vice versa? I rather someone be a more well rounded artist because that can only be beneficial in the long run and that means having the best knowledge of both male and female character design, and also backgrounds because why limit yourself?

@@Mr.TOONz. true but like i said, if your going into the industry and not just doing it for a hobby, your rarely drawing for yourself, so most likely at some point you will have to draw the opposite sex, or things you don't like in general so it's better to learn early on rather then later on.

How did you develop your proportional thinking? I think it is probably area I struggle with the most. Did you develop it over time or was it something you consciously practiced?
@canilearntodraw2579
9 ай бұрын
Hey mahdia, great question. I have struggled with proportions and am still working on it. Just repulsed a chart for proportions a few weeks/days ago. It’s one thing to look at a chart and understand what is there. It’s a total other thing to be able to actually do it. It takes time. I had so much issues with proportions in the beginning and it was one of my main frustrations. Because when your proportions are routinely off like mine was it really causes the figures to look wonky. But hang in there it gets better. It takes time though. Keep practicing and keep going back to proportion resources/charts every now and then to practice directly from them by using construction. Eventually it will start to sneak into your drawings. Everyone learns at different rates but just remember almost everyone has walked the same path. Enjoy.

Kim Jun Gi, Peter Han, Karl Kopinski still construct and do it right before your eyes. What you need to learn is to map with marks and map by eye. You don't need draw out your construction. You only need to mark your own indicators. A dot for a tip of the nose a dash for the top of the head slash for the bottom of the feet a c for an elbow. It works when you are both just visualizing and when drawing from reference. The more you do it the more intuitive it becomes and soon you'll just draw the shoulder/bicep as an indicator a whole foot or hip. It looks like you are doing it in one go but you are not. You are mapping. Its why they are always all over the page. Drawing in pen only forces you to do it.

Hey Ducksoff! I always take it as a compliment when more experienced artists give me advice as it normally means you see something that is worth taking your time to help along the way. So this is appreciated. I do believe you are correct and that it’s after many years of construction that they are now able to do it effortlessly. I hope to be there someday as well. Just taking the first few baby steps in an ultra marathon. Thanks for the advice!

Also people need to be careful with what they perceive an artist is doing and what they are actually doing. It amazes me how the assumption is that artists are just pulling figures out of thin air. In some cases yes. When you construct you can. However people gloss over memorization as a factor. You have no idea how many times they could have drawn a singular pose. Could have been 1000's. Have ten of those memorized and its easy to populate a scene "from your imagination". You have those memorized to use when you are put under pressure by doing things for an audience. Kim Jung Gi has stated in interviews (easy to find on youtube) how he would draw the same car in front, side and back views over and over until he memorized them. Not trying to discourage. In fact trying to encourage. Memorize what you want to draw! Once you do you'll be drawing "from your imagination" because you know your subject by heart like they do.

Hey! Since you mentioned the memorization. I have watched flip throughs of Jung Gi’s sketchbooks multiple times and I have seen some rougher drawings of some very similar looking poses and images that show up in some of the elaborate pieces. Also, sometimes he does plan in rough for some of those pieces. But it’s still impressive. And a lot of what he is able to accomplish seems to be just how much he draws/practices and what he practices. Which this dedication… or obsession is also intriguing. I’m sure there are no shortcuts. Taking baby steps.

@@canilearntodraw2579 Drawing by memorizing is as close to a "short cut" as you'll find. I don't know if you've seen any Marc Brunets videos but he has a few lessons saying "take about five poses you really like and make them your go to and draw them all the time." That also fixes the "I don't know what to draw" problem. Bored and starting at a blank page? Well....whip out the poses and draw them a few times. Also it gives you a good feeling of success when you start the drawing day and then you can move on to failing. Get discouraged? Whip out the poses again. Or what ever it is that you decided to memorize.

@@canilearntodraw2579 Honestly you are well past baby steps. I wouldn't even call you a beginner anymore. I mean going on 3 years of hard study and you are at a level where a lot of people who call themselves pros are. Many with weak fundamentals compared to what you have in your toolbox. Most don't take that amount of time with as much intensity to hone their own skill which says a lot about you. And proves just how valuable effort and dedication are.
