What's insane about Kim jung gi is his ability to start a drawing of a person with the head. Then jump down to the foot, then build the body upward from the foot to the head while including a complex pose. Mind boggling.

The background is a murder of crows eating a corpse...
Okay...

Saw you interviewed in a proko video two days ago and followed you on instagram. Followed you on youtube yesterday, and bought a gumroad lesson today. This is the kind of high quality content I really wish there was more of on youtube.

[grimlockfoc]

Great video! except those were hydraulic cylinders you drew not hydraulic pumps, minor detail but important to note

[uidsea]

My big thing is I just don't know how to keep on adding more mechanical pieces. Just draw some random lines and circles and go with it? This type of drawing is crazy to me!

[ic.xc.]

Do you flip your canvas occassionally to help with these sort of sketches in perspective? (or in general) ?

[nilsballeydier]

Hi where de you find your references please ? I'm currently working on a robot character design and i have hard time finding good one to developp my understanding of mechanical anatomy. Thanks for your future answers.

[QwertyTSecond]

Thank you for making these videos, and explaining everything so clearly. I'm binging through all of them at the moment. Though one thing I need to point out is that the robot's 'batteries' are asynchronous servo motors.

[Pandaghus]

You're doing the Pencil God's work, bud! Thank you for being you! :)

[Johanyohann]

How do you actually build your visual library? Do you just look up an image on google about let's say a car and just draw it as accurate as possible?

[BinaryDood]

why is the intro so hype and well done!

[christiantriplett]

I hate the fact that I still need to use guidelines but whatever lol.

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear, robot joint gear , over 30 years experience,

[andreaambrosini]

A battery? I think it’s motor. Power is provided via cables

[Naellystic]

You are absolute beast! I don't even know that is possible to draw such complex things, i always thought that this joints and parts were 3d modeled.

[asim_steckel]

Dat intro! Can you make every episode 80's like and draw some retro stuff?

[andrewgavriluk]

How many years do you practice drawing?

[_misatito]

I have a problem that when I draw the same object from a different perspective, it loses its proportion and the size is no longer the same. I have not found anything in Spanish that I can understand, I was wondering if there is a solution to this

[mr.random]

Do you draw your “converging lines” as parallels?

[shazarjavaid]

How do you draw like that on a tablet? My lines get messy and sloppy. On paper i can draw that probably but these technical drawings are too hard on a graphic tablet
