This is Kim Jungi's homework when he was only 17 years old. Multiple pages of this quality.And anons here will have the gall to tell you art is about effort and not freak accident of genetics.
>>7944083So you're arguing he never spent any effort?The guy famous for drawing all the fucking time?
>>7944083It's a lot of both.
and i'm sure he never drew before then
>>7944083>This is Kim Jungi's homework when he was only 17 years old.Miss Martin the Maths teacher must have been pissed. I used to get an earful for just drawing in the margins, damn.
>>7944083In hindsight, he totally wasted his talent by acting as a circus clown with stuff like pic related.He'd just get up on stage and draw a big where's wally panorama from imagination.The dude could draw incredibly fast and accurate, if he had decided to make something like the OP pic, a comic/manga, he could have out like 60 pages a week and created a story that people would cherish in their hearts.Nobody cherishes pic related, it's just novelty, a circus freak show.
>>7944083>korean man was /pro/ at 17 (I'm granting this without verifying if it's even true)>therefore being /pro/ is a matter of geneticsHey aight. Sage and hide.
>>7944200He just wanted to draw. Writing means sitting down and thinking up a story and how to tell it. Pain in the ass.
>>7944083It's both, you lazy coping dumbass.
>>7944083don't draw if you don't want to, anon
>>7944083Thats good, clear, readable, good composition work. Better than this mess >>7944200Later on he got better with his giant one shoots. I always hated how overloaded his compositions were. And it was nice to see how he got better, in his last 2-3 years, he got a lot better in regards of story, clarity and composition.His death is very unfortunate, he has not reached his full potential, as an Asian he could have easily live another 30 years. He could be literally the new Hokusai.Well, memento mori and shit.
>>7944200Have you seen his comics/pannels he's done. He kinda sucks at keeping the story straight and telling what is happening. But I guess he might have just been skipping around but still its a mess desu. I guess if he actually did try to make a comic/manga, it would be a lot more coherent.
>>7944211If only there were people in this world who could do the writing for the artist... if only...
>>7944083i do enjoy drawing but this mogs everything i've done in my life
>>7944289Stop comparing
>>7944278Yeah, Im sure he wanted to draw someone else project. He 100% seems like a guy who would dedicate his time to that.
>>7944297kek
>>7944205>I'm granting this without verifying if it's even trueI can't find where they are getting these high quality scans, but it seems claim itself is truehttps://www.instagram.com/p/C7TjUKZRHnQ/?img_index=1
>>7944578not defending OP's original point though, I can imagine 17 year old KJG drawing like triple the amount of what average /ic/ users have drawn their entire life.It also kinda helps that it must've been like 80s when he was a highschooler right? No smartphone, no algorhithm built with gorillion dollars to steal your precious time and attention. Hell starcraft wasn't even out. What was introvert guy gonna do? Mostly like to just draw for a whole day
>>7944084the biggest blackpill of art is that great art is effortless. It flows out your hand and you lose track of trime because the divide between you and the art (the pencil/tablet) start to disappear. Shitty art takes extra effort, raises cortisol the entire time, and robs even more time when you try to fix things but can't. A lot of hobbies are like this, its more expensive to be poor. We live in a universe where energy begets energy, momentum matters more than effort put in.
>>7944578>https://www.instagram.com/p/C7TjUKZRHnQ/?img_index=1Kim Yonghwan(Kita Kouji) mention in big 2026?
>>7944297If only writers were able to write on projects that aren't their own... if only...
>>7944582It's not much of a "pill". Anyone who actually draws knows about the zone. Although I don't think calling it "effortless" is accurate, it's more like a state of mind where you don't care about the effort involved, because you're fully motivated.
>>7944278FYI he did 6 volumes of a manwa called tiger the long tail. Sadly not that well known outside korea, maybe because came out before manwa was cool
>>7944083I have never seen a single person here say talent wasn’t really. If anything this board dooms too much about talent.People here DO say that even with a lack of talent, you can learn to draw at an acceptable level with lots of effort, and I think that’s reasonable.
>>7944083If I were Kim jung ji I would have added some showmanship to it. I’m talking gongs crashing whenever I finish a piece. Servants hunched over running around constantly, carrying my art supplies on little pillows. Wearing a straw hat and drawing while sitting on top of an ox in a rice field. Cool wacky shit like that. It’s a shame he was killed by mossad before we had a chance to collaborate, we would have made a good team.
some people were just born with the gift of the heavens
>>7944083Look at Alex Ross when he was 3. Scaled to 17yo KJG, it's clear that KJG was near-talentless.
>>7944083>mogged by picasso's homework (15 years old)
>>7944817Picasso's father*
>>7944820I've thought about doing something similar for my son. Like I could have him start a YouTube channel and basically do everything for him so he looks like an expert in my field.
>>7944804yes, the literal gift that keeps on giving - they actually know HOW to Just Draw. The truth was in the meme the whole time.
>>7944804>tfw no jade sealWhy even bother drawing atp?
>>7944582>art becomes worse when you don't know what you're doingwow
