Amazing work! The Kim Jung Gi vibe is still there in these drawings and it's amazing, you've inspired me to look at tutorials and advice from his videos! Hope you continue this journey and have a nice day!

DOODLESOFDISHONOUR, Hey! Thanks again, I'm glad to inspire you! Eventhough, everyone have their own path, but I've found Kim Jung Gi advices quite advance for a beginners, he makes it look so easy, but you may found yourself forgetting about his incredible mileage under his belt.

I even bought his online course on drawing figures in perspective. Despite the fact, that he says it is for all levels, I found it extremely inpractical for a begginer (again, from my point of view).

I figured out that it would be more practical to just study things on an everyday basis and watch his streams on YouTube to see how he works with line weight, shading and overall draftsmanship, and then, while you are studying, just being present and ask yourself : "Ok, so how would Kim approach these, how would he make a specific mark there?" etc.

I hope that it helps on your path too! Have a wonderful week!

True, when I was looking at his advice for applying perspective to figures I thought it was interesting and tough at the same time. But testing it was amazing and I saw an improvement in my perspective! I did forget about his mileage and had to remind myself that his experience came with years of drawing and memory, which is amazing!

How are his online courses? I know it's kinda hard for a beginner as you said, but how in depth does it go into teaching about drawing figures?

Thx for the advice and have a great day!

Wow, good for you!

His online course on drawing figures almost completely ignoring basics human anatomy, well at least t does not emphasizes on that (he says that it is important to understand human body structure at a moderate level, before commiting to his course). I would recommend to acquire his course as soon as you fammiliarize yourself with human body structure, perspective and try to problem solve for a while on your own, by doing studies.

In terms of drawing figures overall - his course is quite handy, he shows how to turn body into the set of boxes and ellipses and talks some insightful stuff about his experience.

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
