About the author
Kim Jung-Gi
22 books45 followersKorean artist Kim Jung Gi was born in 1975 in the town of Goyang-Si, located in the province of Kyongki-Do South Korea. At 19, this budding artist enrolled at a Fine Arts School, majoring in Art and Design. He attended Dong-Eui University in Busan for three years and did his two years in the South Korean army as a part of the Special Forces Unit. Here, he was able to memorize the array of different weapons and vehicles.
Kim’s most notable creative asset is his memory, something he has developed over a number of years. His ability to render extremely complicated scenes near-perfectly from memory, without the aid of references, has stretched the boundaries of what many artists believed was possible.
Kim Jung Gi’s first publication – Funny Funny – was published in Young Jump magazine. He wrote a number of short stories and held exhibitions for his work that led to his teaching manhwa (Korean comic book) to various private schools and universities. Kim collaborated with Seung-Jin Park, the writer of Tiger the Long Tail, to draw six volumes for his comic. Kim also worked alongside French author Bernard Werber, illustrating two novels he had written – “Paradise” in 2010 and “Third Humanity” in 2013.
In 2011, Kim Jung Gi partook in the Comic Festival held in Bucheon where, for the first time ever, he drew live. In most cases, artists showcase a framed drawing or painting, but KJG decided to do something different. He placed paper up on three walls around his table and began drawing.
Kim has six sketchbooks in print, which equate to about 4,500 pages’ worth of drawings in a span of 12 years. He also collaborated with the legendary Japanese artist Katsuya Terada in 2017. The pair put together an amazing sketchbook of various drawings, showing off their talents.
He’s worked in various industries – movies, music, and government. Kim put together a feature exhibition in Cheongwadae” the Republic of Korea’s president’s official workplace and residence. He was also hired by Korean Hip-Hop artist Drunken Tiger to create the album cover.
He holds the record for “Longest drawing by an individual” in the Guinness World Records book.

October 15, 2024نه این یه کتاب رسمیه و نه من از نقاشی سررشته دارم که بخوام حتی یه نظر سابجکتیو یا شخصی رُ با ستاذه دادن امضا کنم.
هنر کیم جونگ-گی در نقاشی مثل خوندن یه متن محاوره ایه که شکسپیر نوشته باشه. از دور قشنگه، از نزدیک هزار نکته غامض داره. هم عامه پسنده، هم محبوب خواص.
یه چیز جالب درباره دید کُلی کیم جونگ-گی نگاه متاثر از عکاسیش هست به طراحی. هم در استفاده از لنزهایی که به دید انسان محدود نیستن و تصویر رُ با مخدوش شدگیِ زیباییشناسانه ای ارایه میدن و هم در قاب بندی عکس هاش که به شدت عکاسان خیابانی دهه ۸۰ امریکا مثل سندلِر رُ به باد میاره.
و یه مورد جالب دیگه علاقه جونگ-گی به موضوعاتیه که در اولویت دغدغههای هر پسر بچهٔ ۱۲ ساله ای هست:تفنگ، ماشین و پستانهای برهنه (و گاها پوشیده).

Muy probablemente, el mejor dibujante de todos los tiempos. Sorprendente. Superdotado. Unico. En estas colecciones de sketches se entiende que fue un hombre enteramente dedicado al dibujo, cada hora y cada minuto de su vida, de una manera casi enfermiza. Sus ojos y sus manos parecen una cámara fotográfica perfecta, con el talento para capturar cada momento de su día a día, tanto para dibujar del natural todo lo que se le pusiera delante, así como para soñar e imaginar las locuras más maravillosas y divertidas de la manera más libre y desprejuiciada posible: animales antropomorfos, antiguos guerreros orientales, vehículos mecánicos de todo tipo (motos, bicicletas, automóviles, helicópteros, aviones...) situaciones urbanas, registros de sus viajes y su vida cotidiana, milicias modernas con todo su equipamiento en escenas de acción y entrenamiento, estudios anatómicos, erotismo, perversiones varias, seres mitológicos, escenas futuristas, cultura pop, personajes mafiosos tatuados de comic book, registros realistas, caricaturescos o típicos del animé (dibujos animados japoneses), dibujos de línea, estudios de luz y sombra increiblemente detallados, páginas minimalistas junto a otras de una densidad barroca y de una cantidad de detalles increíbles. Perspectivas exageradas en blanco y negro, a lápiz, en tinta, aplicando color con acuarela, copic markers o lápices de colores, no hay secretos técnicos para Kim Jung Gi. Su oficio es mágnífico y parece totalmente suelto y natural. Sus ideas fluyen sin filtro y llenan páginas y más páginas de imaginación prodigiosa, técnica abrumadora y detalles sorprendentes. Kim Jung Gi fue un verdadero "fuera de serie", un hombre con una memoria fotográfica y un talento inusual y apasionado entrenado al máximo. Un crack irrepetible. R.I.P.

Kim Jung Gi was a true master - even though he was too humble to ever admit it. His ability to draw very complex scenes in strong perspective straight out of his head was incredible. He also had an enormous visual library. And he was a great educator too, happy to teach others how to draw like himself. He was a bright star and a great inspiration to millions.
His sketchbook series gives us a special window into his artistic genius. If you like art, this is a must-have. Five stars are not enough.

I liked it but I felt that Kim Jung Gi has some issues with women for I hated all his sketches with female characters.
