I remember watching this a couple years ago in the midst of the pandemic. It inspired me to keep a private journal of sketches. It pains me to learn this man passed away today. What a loss for the art world.
-
...I trained so hard and became bald. So powerful nobody can ever beat me...- Saitama's this statement fits justly into Master Kim's scenario.
-
It's hard for people that aren't artists to understand how truly skilled he is. His skill is beyond masterful.
-
I'm convinced this cameraman wanted to be a dermatologist when he grew up.
-
He is a master of the line
-
His level of mastery is almost unbelievable.
-
being addicted to drawing must be amazing
-

ENHANCE. ENHANCE. ENHANCE! WE NEED TO GO DEEPER! GET INSIDE HIS PORES!!

coming back here after learning about his sudden passing. thank you, Sir, for being such an inspiration for a young artist like me. i hope you rest easy.

This world couldn't hold his talent.

Kim Jung Gi always draws faster than I can even write a sentence.
-
He is motivating and demotivating me at the same time.
-
I don't know why, but this video calms me and makes me feel peace. RIP Mr. Jung Gi - You are iconic.
-
Watching him draw fills me with wonder, his skill was truly amazing. It saddens me, the thought that we won't be spoiled with any more of his art. I always eagerly awaited his new sketchbooks and I'm happy to own one of his drawings. Life is so fickle, he will be missed, one of the GOATs.
-
Rip GOAT!! Came back here as soon as I heard the news. Your work will continue to inspire generations long after you are gone!
-
Wow. This is like Michelangelo level of art. For Mike he said the sculpture was there he just needed to unearth it. This man’s the same. The drawings there, he just needs to ink it.
-
Please never delete this, it's full of artistic knowledge that will help artist
-
These type of artist are the closest we can get to understanding how God just creates. It’s so exhilarating to watch him create from nothing.
-
RIP the legend. Was a major inspiration for me.
