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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
Lenses are so complicated for me, your explanation actually helped me understand it a bit but I still got a long road ahead but thanks for this really neat tutorial!
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.
I came from your Domestika course on drawing expressive figures, and I gotta say that this was immensely helpful! I started freaking out when I heard about five point perspective, but you explained it in a way that made sense. Thank you so much!
@@thedrDraw kind of, I just found perspectiv really interesting as a kif and wanted to figure out how you could put in more perspective points than your standard 3 point perspective. I just never thought about looking it up.
lmfao easily the greatest tutorial for perspective on yt 💀 ppl on youtube over complicate everything to extend their videos for ads. but this is golden
i have the book perspective for comic book artists, ive studied it and it's still pretty difficult to understand for 2point and 3point perspective. this cleared up a few of the issues, thanks.
Thank you so much for this. I REALLY struggle with 'seeing' the ideas that I want to draw, so much so that I'd given up trying. This clear and concise explanation has inspired me to try again. I had to bail out after 3 for now lest my brain breaks, but I'll be back for more. Cheers from the UK.
Great to hear that parts interesting. That's a very technical question I would say, since things are floating it doesn't really matter where the vanishing point is, you'll just have to visualise the horizon line :)
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!
been drawing for years hated perspective something quite did not match when is was doing it... but i think this video made it clear it was the distortion. i always tried to draw stuff aldo after the vanishing point.
I am amazed looking at viewership number. This is one of the best illustrations, I can think of. It is very elegantly designed in form and presentation. Many people explain simple matter in a complicated manner. You have done just the opposite. You have made a complicated structure easy to understand. Perhaps, you were waiting for me to see this video which seems to have been specially for my need !
Love your videos, man. You kind of gloss over what "distortion" is. Distortion happens because 2P &3P perspectives are just convenient projections of the 3D world onto a 2D plane. This projection simply breaks down mathematically for objects place near the vanishing points. 4D & 5D are much better representations of how our eyes see the world and don't break down in the same way. But they look weird on paper because we have been trained over the centuries to understand that 2D/3D perspective is more "correct." Peace.
Wish I could click like more than once. I had started messing around with perspective lines, but none of the other videos I've seen up to now included a hack for figuring out the spacing on repeating elements.
Interesting and educational Thanks a lot. I was just expecting to hear more about which line goes toward which vanishing point. like all the lines at the right of the corner go to the vanishing point at the right and so on.
Wow! That's a really amazing video. No wonder it has so many views. It would be really awesome to extend perspective theme and tell what use each type has.
Don't know if someone else already suggested this, not reading hundreds of comments to find out, so apologies if I'm repeating. With the street lights (works for anything you want to be spaced equally), you draw one, you put in the second, then you put a line from the vanishing point through the middle of the poles. You then draw a line from the top of the first pole through the midpoint of the second pole to the base line. That's where your third pole should be... and repeat starting top of the second pole, through the midpoint of the third to the base line etc
Great vid! I have one question I didn't get quite well: why the distance between the tip of the first light and the second was one third of the distance between the first one and the third light?
I don’t know if it’s just on me but as a total beginner I was sometimes a bit confused I tried to redraw all of those grids and cubes and lamps but then stumbled upon a few problems I noticed that you didn’t explained it detailed enough because you sometimes just drew the lines without explaining which line you’re orientating yourself on rn It might be very obvious to people who are familiar with it already but it took me a while how and why your drew this line that way (ngl I’m still not sure if my guesses were right even after staring at my paper for 3min) And I tried to draw a cube into the fish grid but it completely threw me off and since there wasn’t a cube in that grid in the video I didn’t know how it was supposed to look like😭 But I’d still like to say that this video is a very nice overview of all perspectives and helped me quite a lot as well!

@@thedrDraw Ok, thank you! Also, I have a question regarding the example-objects used inside the perspective-lines grids. The edges of your objects align themselves exactly to the lines that lead to the vanishing points. But that's not always necessarily the case. What if none of the edges are aligned with the perspective lines? What if the object turned a bit and is facing another way? How would I draw such an object, who has turned away from those perspective-lines along its edges, when there is no real guidance from any other lines? Is that even a possibility? I would also like to know your thoughts on such constructions :) Thank you very much.
@@AdonisHeracles Maybe I can help. :) Apologies if I misunderstand what you're saying. As you rotate an object to the left or right, that object's vanishing points will slide left or right along the horizon line accordingly. Vanishing points simply represent the directions that the object is pointing to. Different directions, different placement of the vanishing points. So when you draw a vanishing point and draw emanating lines from it, you are setting in stone the direction that the object faces in relation to you. With a vanishing point already placed, the only thing that you can change is how far to the right or to the left the object is from you, as well as how close or far it is. That's what those emanating perspective lines are for. You cannot change the directions of the object without changing the vanishing points. (Note however, that the more something is to your left, the more you will be able to see its right side, and the more something is to your right, the more you'll be able to see its left side. *This does not mean that their directions have changed though.* This instead is a matter of where you stand in relation to the boxes. If you had a straight row of 10 boxes all facing front, these would all have the same vanishing point because they're all facing the same direction. But they would not look all the same to you because you would see more of the sides of the boxes the more to the left or to the right they are of you.) >>What if none of the edges are aligned with the perspective lines? What if the object turned a bit and is facing another way? This would mean that the vanishing point is not in the right spot on the horizon line. Put the vanishing point in a place where they would align with the perspective lines you want. When drawing a picture, typically you would not place the vanishing points first as he does in this video, unless you're a master and can already visualize how that object would look just by looking at the vanishing points. He started with the vanishing points for demonstration purposes only. Normally, you would draw a sketch of how you want the object to look, and then trace those lines back to the horizon line to find the vanishing points.
They didn't teach this in art school. Shame shame. I actually had to drop the course. The teacher didn't even use grids. Terrible instruction. This was very interesting. Didn't know about five or six point perspective.
It's funny. I don't do very many landscapes or large crowds. But if I apply the 5 point perspective grid that you mention, I can see the fisheye view you talk about. What I struggle with is enlarging it. For some reason, it's easier for me to draw small pictures than it is big pictures. I have never really done box drawing. But I have done circle drawing. So for example a hand, I will just draw a circle and draw the hand in it. What dimension is color? I am moving next week and will be buying paints. I haven't painted in 2 years and I'm eager to do it again. I like to cover my walls with my own art. That's why I like to do art. It's great to only have to satisfy my own tastes.
That is the most important thing. To satisfy your own needs first! If you like a specific zoom level I would say start with that. Painting is something totally different which I recommend you look a pro for. I will start with that in a few years. Now it's just form since I want to add volume to my art. If you want to add volume to I recommend to start with drawing boxes instead of circles. Good luck!
Rest in peace, Kim Jung Gi. Your crazy drawings will be missed.
Wait, really?!

I tried to redraw all of those grids and cubes and lamps but then stumbled upon a few problems
I noticed that you didn’t explained it detailed enough because you sometimes just drew the lines without explaining which line you’re orientating yourself on rn
It might be very obvious to people who are familiar with it already but it took me a while how and why your drew this line that way (ngl I’m still not sure if my guesses were right even after staring at my paper for 3min)
And I tried to draw a cube into the fish grid but it completely threw me off and since there wasn’t a cube in that grid in the video I didn’t know how it was supposed to look like😭

Perspective is one of the most challenging things to understand. So try to draw a perspective grid before you draw a cube, it will help! :D

@@AdonisHeracles Maybe I can help. :) Apologies if I misunderstand what you're saying.
As you rotate an object to the left or right, that object's vanishing points will slide left or right along the horizon line accordingly. Vanishing points simply represent the directions that the object is pointing to. Different directions, different placement of the vanishing points.
So when you draw a vanishing point and draw emanating lines from it, you are setting in stone the direction that the object faces in relation to you. With a vanishing point already placed, the only thing that you can change is how far to the right or to the left the object is from you, as well as how close or far it is. That's what those emanating perspective lines are for. You cannot change the directions of the object without changing the vanishing points.
(Note however, that the more something is to your left, the more you will be able to see its right side, and the more something is to your right, the more you'll be able to see its left side. *This does not mean that their directions have changed though.* This instead is a matter of where you stand in relation to the boxes. If you had a straight row of 10 boxes all facing front, these would all have the same vanishing point because they're all facing the same direction. But they would not look all the same to you because you would see more of the sides of the boxes the more to the left or to the right they are of you.)
>>What if none of the edges are aligned with the perspective lines? What if the object turned a bit and is facing another way?
This would mean that the vanishing point is not in the right spot on the horizon line. Put the vanishing point in a place where they would align with the perspective lines you want.
When drawing a picture, typically you would not place the vanishing points first as he does in this video, unless you're a master and can already visualize how that object would look just by looking at the vanishing points. He started with the vanishing points for demonstration purposes only. Normally, you would draw a sketch of how you want the object to look, and then trace those lines back to the horizon line to find the vanishing points.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
Omg i didn't know kim died. Wow he was an awesome artist.
great and simple explanation, man. thanks
They didn't teach this in art school. Shame shame. I actually had to drop the course. The teacher didn't even use grids. Terrible instruction. This was very interesting. Didn't know about five or six point perspective.
Oh really? That doesn't sound like a great teacher
It's funny. I don't do very many landscapes or large crowds. But if I apply the 5 point perspective grid that you mention, I can see the fisheye view you talk about. What I struggle with is enlarging it. For some reason, it's easier for me to draw small pictures than it is big pictures.
I have never really done box drawing. But I have done circle drawing. So for example a hand, I will just draw a circle and draw the hand in it.
What dimension is color? I am moving next week and will be buying paints. I haven't painted in 2 years and I'm eager to do it again. I like to cover my walls with my own art. That's why I like to do art. It's great to only have to satisfy my own tastes.
That is the most important thing. To satisfy your own needs first! If you like a specific zoom level I would say start with that.
Painting is something totally different which I recommend you look a pro for. I will start with that in a few years. Now it's just form since I want to add volume to my art.
If you want to add volume to I recommend to start with drawing boxes instead of circles.
Good luck!
This video is so incredible. You seriously simplified my understanding of perspective. I cant wait ti practice
And the best thing is I've got a new one coming as well!
Your tutorials helped me a lot . Now I understand perspective 🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Yay! perspective isn't that hard to understand, but to use it. DAMN
Hey, I'm just starting to get into making soft and tNice tutorials 17 minute video helped a LOT MORE than those one hour long tutorials out
Jup working on more, stay tuned!
This is great alex! thank you
Cool! great to hear it helps
This kind of stuff blows my mind and I don't think I've fully grasped it yet. I think I'd need a longer in-detail video.
Take your time watch it several times and copy what I’m drawing. That helps
Love your videos!! Plz make more!!!
Thanks, next 5 weeks every friday
