trying to understand parts of a car and its fundamentals and use, will make it easier to draw. this video is more on perspective and how to do this drawings in perspective. essentially its training yourself to draw things in the right perspective but the actual car needs time, like your drawing anatomy of a person. Kim jung Gi's knowledge is vast, thats why the saying "draw the things around you" or anything at all is so overlooked but is a great tip cause in the long run you will end up learning about new things and how they work and could easily draw them, starting off with reference or real life drawing is not bad, but dont turn it to muscle memory. muscle memory is not what i recommend when drawing, its good but dont depend on it.
The most valuable skill this artist displays is the ability to think critically about what it is he is observing. Learn that ability and some fundamental drawing techniques and you can teach yourself to draw anything.
It means he can look at something, break it down into general volumes, apply an understanding of perspective to those volumes, and extrapolate the rest of the information required to change those basic forms into something tangible. As in, take some cylinders and cubes, and turn it into an alligator by understanding volumes. The "fundamentals", things like perspective, lighting, line, etc.
That's a hella good description, a description of the skill of simplifying objects that is, I still have no idea what he means by "thinking critically about what he is observing". The definition of critical thinking is: "the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment." there's nothing objective about what you just described, it is entirely subjective.
Well, That's exactly what he's indicating when he says "the ability to think critically about what he's observing.". He's not looking at an alligator and going "ok, scale, eye, tooth, done, great." He's analyzing an object by asking things like - how is it positioned in relation to the artist/viewer/ground, which of its forms are visible, how high is the foot in relation to the bottom of the jaw, etc. Then, evaluating how to approach it by creating the basic volumes, doing draw through and skeletal sketches to understand where those forms are in 3D space and in relation to each other. The judgement part might not tie in unless you want to consider drawing the details and information over those base volumes in judgement, but the rest is very much analysis and evaluation. So it might not fit the literal definition of the term, but I'd simply posit that people don't use that term so literally. As for the subjectivity concept, I don't agree. The rules of many elements he's applying are objective. Perspective is a system that you can apply universally, lighting works like light does and those principals apply universally, unless the artist is drawing something in a black hole I suppose. An artist might be able to apply any subjective rule set they want to any content they create, and the art itself might be subjective in whatever manner you care to spin it, but there are rules, and to create things that adhere to what humans perceive as the observable universe accurately they need to be applied.
I don't believe I can replicate what you've done. But for the first time ever I *understand* why it's done this way and how one could proceed from blocks to shapes to details. Thank you. (Subbed)
He wasnt born with this ability, he learned it. He wasnt created with this hidden ability inside of him any less than you are. He practiced and practiced and practiced, believing in yourself is less important than believing you can be better.
Wow, I was literally just looking around for how to apply perspective to complex forms yesterday (not even on youtube) and then this showed up on my youtube homepage's recommended list, this is exactly, EXACTLY what I was looking for :O
Cestarian Inhabitant I have been doing this too past few weeks...maybe when you get really into an idea you tap into the collective mind following that stream...wooo!
I am only now realizing that for the last 4 years I thought you were proko. I subbed because I was surprised I wasn't already. I'm glad, you're a great artist, but you currently have absolutely no identity in my brain and I'll actively have to change that. Like I have to rewatch everything, I can't separate anything now wow.
In one of his lectures he explains that he used to many under sketches in pencil but as he got better, he stopped needing to. He recommended that you do if you need them
Dude this was hands down the video I needed. Watching your process with each shape and the ultimate goal of it is exactly what I was missing. You got yourself a sub man! Love it ❤️
Those working lines underneath start to vanish, since our brains naturally give priority to the more Bold and ..... I swear I thought you were gonna say Beautiful. And then the bold and beautiful theme song would start playing with the cover image slowly zooming in. :D I love your video. I can't believe I didn't come across your videos earlier. Thank you
I've tried to learn angles and perspectives many times without much result, and sure I've heard of perspective lines and such, but this is the first time that I've seen it explained this way (breaking down an organic form into blocks as well as the reference lines in the free form practice). I think something finally clicked; thank you very much!
Just gonna leave this here, Kim Jung-gi is Korean, so his last name is actually Kim, so Gi is just half of his first name. If he were in the west, he'd be called Jung-gi Kim
After watching this again straight after watching Proko's second interview with Kim Jung Gi, I have finally understood what it means to be understand a cube in perspective and it literally feels like someone flicked a switch in my brain. THANK YOU!
I think one part to focus on as well is drawing the lines that you don't see. Not just drawing the guidelines for the the parts of a cube that you see but also drawing the lines that would be obscured. Drawing all the lines or "frame" really helps in building an understanding for 3D perspective, especially when you start out.
5:40 its not about knowing anything anymore, just gotta put in practice. 3 stesp to really nail each study - boxes> rounded boxes each shape is more similar to subject > finally the actually subject w details and minor forms 8:28 to push one step further, start adj persp diff from ref photo
This guy (Gi) Is so Sosososososososo soooo good. Honestly he makes me jealous. This is nice inspiration to show people they can actually do what they're looking at and how to try. I feel like what artists don't start with in explanation is what method, technique or school of thought they are applying. I'm not sure if some videos intentionally obscure theory and labels in order to keep you from getting the information elsewhere, but that does seem like a thing. Never sure that making knowledge more cryptic or inaccessible is that good of an overall thing.
Awesome! This inspires me to draw both organic and unorganic stuffs with construstion. Your video no only teach how to do, it also inspires! Nice one, dude.
This is what i was looking for: rotating form in perspective. No one has ever done this on youtube. Well done! Could you do it 180 degrees up and down?
a lot of us practice art the wrong way kuz when asked, most artist would say to get better u have to practice a lot. its important to kno HOW TO PRACTICE.. and 3D form is a good start
Awesome! Would love to see more on breaking down the forms of vehicle's like part 2. Quick predicteable question: may I ask what pen are you using? The ink flow looks great.
There is a mistake at 3:00. Just pointing out if anyone else was wandering. Line should start from the inner point just like on the other side of the car.
The answer to both questions mostly is, practice. Lots of practice. Practice like the drills from drawabox.com . Practice of drawing objects within imagined cubes and knowing what simple primitive shapes relate to that object, which in turn relate to that imagined cube. Practice until you dream boxes. And can see that everything is constructed from simple shapes with just surface detail.
The only guy who came closer to GI, is Karl Kopinski, like gi, he draw using mental guide lines and perspective. But even being so good, i never saw him draw like gi, because like you say on video Gi rule supreme. Lol
Step 1: Draw boxes
Alright easy enough
Step 2: Draw a car
...
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

Step 1: Create your character
Alright easy
Step 2: Defeat the boss to actually start the game
*Do what?!*
@@popowasser7862 a man of culture ehh
you forgot the most important part..
a l l i g a t o r
so thats why kim jung gi so good at drawing. he watched this tutoriaal
Yes. But only before he created this numerous times in his head and projected it into the cosmic energy field and this guy got a hold of it. 😣
F
Don't really think so.
@@1LERS1 r/woooosh
Nope
i thought it's supposed to be 100x sketch, 100x pages of drawing, and 10x painting until you become bald.
that's another way to become a Gi XD
Khrisna Aditya One Sketch Man!!!
Khrisna Aditya ONE PUUUUUUUUUNCH!!!
In a room with no fan on.
Khrisna Aditya I see what you did there. 😂
"These forms are a bit arbitrary "
Proceeds to methodically draw a god damn car out of the forms
oops!
every moderndayjames video:
"first you draw a circle"
"okay now imma draw a body"

What does that even mean?
Bush did 911

I can't find him

erm . you do know that google collects data right ?
All hail the algorithm!
God I whish I had found this sooner! The part with the alligator was a real eye opener.
Moderndayjames? More like moderndaymessiah
rip master kim, rewatching this in his honour
Your line control is impeccable. Thanks for the content you provide here on UA-cam. Just started watching today and it’s extremely motivating
“Oh my gii”
“Dont u mean god?”
“Same thing”
WE will miss the GI
I am only now realizing that for the last 4 years I thought you were proko. I subbed because I was surprised I wasn't already. I'm glad, you're a great artist, but you currently have absolutely no identity in my brain and I'll actively have to change that. Like I have to rewatch everything, I can't separate anything now wow.
I AM PROKO
i want to icrease my GI level!
spelling is not my forte XD
The next level is all about spelling
Dude!! The intro was so creative!! I laughed so much!!! lol
One of your best tutorials!! Thanks!!
Gi doesn't draw sketches, he draws directly the finished drawing... like a printer
In one of his lectures he explains that he used to many under sketches in pencil but as he got better, he stopped needing to. He recommended that you do if you need them

This tutorial is actually about how to become an American soldier.
To be Gi I just need to be Scott Robertson!
FUCK.
César Andrade my reaction indeed
0:25 This is like the 15th time I've watched this and I just fucking realized he's holding a pen 😂 lol .
I love the way you explain and show everything you do! I have not yet come across a video of yours that didn't blow mind. Keep going!

Definitely going to recommend you to my friends cause I love your art and teachings SO MUCHHHHH.

What’s awesome is there are guys like you providing enough instruction online that art school is basically unnecessary.

Keep making vids man you're going to be big
this is great man, thanks for the inspiration. This is the kind of video that makes me want to draw from imagination more
dude your chanel is exacly what ive been wanting. straight dope!!!!!
You're my new favourite person. Amazing video, THANKS SO MUCH! Much clarity, such wow!
really good stuff man.
You're doing God's work spreading the word of the trad ink KJG Style
Awesome! This inspires me to draw both organic and unorganic stuffs with construstion. Your video no only teach how to do, it also inspires! Nice one, dude.
Excellent work explaining the how and *why*!
that's nice
Good Job man. Thank you for breaking it down. This helps a lot!
Changing life since the video start. AMAZING CONTENT!👍
Number one do we ain't weak man we're strong together we fantastic artists people like you who help us we can be as great as that guy
RIP to the legend!😔✊🏽
one og the best and most enjoyable tutorials i´ve seen. GREAT!!!
You're great man! Keep doing your videos! Thanks for the tips
Love your tutorial you really taught from simple form to form instead just jump to detail draw
This is the best drawing video I've ever watched
LOVE UR VIDEOS SO MUCH JAMES!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!
This is what i was looking for: rotating form in perspective. No one has ever done this on youtube. Well done! Could you do it 180 degrees up and down?
XD the thunder was a nice touch
brilliant lesson, just what I was looking for. Thanks
Him: *starts rotating a cube with no effort*
Me: *confused screaming*
It takes a really long time to get comfortable with it! You can practice with some 3D softwares as well to make it easier
a lot of us practice art the wrong way kuz when asked, most artist would say to get better u have to practice a lot. its important to kno HOW TO PRACTICE.. and 3D form is a good start
Solid video.
Much thankful mate, your effort is really helpful
Excellent work mate!
It is not easy to draw like GI, but u are the 1st that i saw.
I demand more olden day james
then more olden day james you shall receive. Or maybe you should just be in one of my videos like the good ol' days
moderndayjames in af
cars are always the hardest thing to draw. Excellent exercise
mecha is much harder
Great tutorial! Keep up the great work 😀
It's funny to know that just for drawing boxes you can draw whatever you want, what interesant way to understand the world.
Hahahahha so cool. Love your intro! I'm on day 1600 and something of sketchbook pages...only 1 day missed...bu' I think I need to be drawing boxes.
Wow, very instructive. Thank you so much for sharing with us. :)
I want to be like you, man you are amazing am thankful for finding you really 💜💜
Awesome! Would love to see more on breaking down the forms of vehicle's like part 2. Quick predicteable question: may I ask what pen are you using? The ink flow looks great.
I highly enjoy the phrase "knight of the pen".
Funny and super informative, great job.
Very nice video! Well done drawing.
wtf? amazing, almost a secret to every gesture type architech thing at GI workshop
Great work and demo!
Damn man, i wish i found your channel earlier. This is so USEFUL!
Fantastic technic...boxes and pesrpective.. Make more videos about shadows, 3d volume, ambient occlusion?
Very helpful video, thanks!
There is a mistake at 3:00. Just pointing out if anyone else was wandering. Line should start from the inner point just like on the other side of the car.
Amazing stuff man.
nearly 1 year of drawing and learning anatomy only to realize i haven't mastered drawing squares in perspective
What a nice video, learned a lot. Thanks bro
The opening was golden. Its criminal enough that I don't look at Kim Jung Gi as much...
Subscribed! How did I not know about this channel?!
How you visualize the great objects in the lines? Your lines looks so good it's like you used scale for it, how you do that?
The answer to both questions mostly is, practice. Lots of practice. Practice like the drills from drawabox.com . Practice of drawing objects within imagined cubes and knowing what simple primitive shapes relate to that object, which in turn relate to that imagined cube.
Practice until you dream boxes. And can see that everything is constructed from simple shapes with just surface detail.
Thank you. Great video. Hope for more to come :-)
There's a new video every thursday! as well as livestreams every weekend fri-sun 1pm EST
now THIS is an art video.

Great tutorials Thank you for making these.
