Good video and spot on. My wife and I love to draw at Woodland Park Zoo, we do it at least a few times a year. This one particular moment this couple came up and just fawned over how talented we are, the gentlemen saying he could never do that, he never had the talent for it. So in a polite way I said it was less to do about talent and more to do with the time put into the craft. I mentioned that I couldn't build a cabinet, or a table or anything out of wood, I'm awful at it, and yet some people create beautiful work that way. The wife started giggling and the guy leaned back and smiled, the wife then looked at me and pointed to her husband and said, he's a carpenter. I freaking nailed the analogy so well they got it right away. It was a good conversation. It's interesting too because if you were to ever ask me what my talent is, I would never have said drawing. Growing up, I always felt like my "Talent" was in my physical ability, athletics, particularly playing football. That was what I knew, that was where my passion lied through my youth, that was my focus. That ultimately was not the path I ended up following, and art has slowly supplanted sports as my passion. And the more I do it, the better I get, it's as simple as that. :) Good video man. I think I'll go ahead and "Smash" that like button and subscribe. Haha.

It's the fear of failure that has ruined every one of the many pursuits I've had over time. That negative pattern is definitely a dream killer.

Everyone draws differently. When you learn to draw in love you will never lose in art. You don't master everything, you master yourself.

I'm lucky to have met Kim Jung Gi a few times before his passing and what really striked me and motivated me even more is that he never claimed to be this super talented guy but just somewhat who put hours and hours into his work regardless of the end result being good or bad. He always said that the most important thing was to be consistent and not too regarding towards the quality of our work cause at the end of the day, if we strive to improve and grow up as an artist, we'll always find flaws in our work but that's what makes us better. I remember him drawing a staircase and telling us that while he was way above us on those stairs and we'll most likely never catch up to him because he got a good head start haha, it's just a matter of time before we get up to his current level if we just continue to climb. It's super cliché but coming from an artist like Kim Jung Gi, it really resonated with me. I was well aware of all that but seeing with my own eyes how "normal" master Kim was, it really struck a string in me and I think I'll remember him all my life. The real talent is to be able to put in the efforts to reach your goals. It's easy to boast confident but hard to back it up. A lot of people got "talent" but it amounts to nothing if you don't nurture it. When I look at famous historical figures, I can't think of any solely relying on their "talent". Kim Jung Gi was a lazy guy (by his own words) but he kept pushing and managed to leave his print in this world. I met him for the last time the very last day before his passing and I still can't believe he's no longer among us. RIP Kim Jung Gi. I hope you'll keep inspiring the future generations.

Man, this video hit hard. I miss watching Kim Jung Gi draw so much. His livestreams did always lighten up my mood no matter how hard a day was🥲and even if "Talent" isn't the right word for his drawing level, he was one of the best artist of modern days (IMO) 💙

You know - at my lowest point, I asked my (only) favorite teacher why he believed I would succeed with a Machinima-project I wanted to do. I had been at artschool for over two years. And in our third year the school told us we couldn't do individual projects, but they would assign us one instead. Reasons were the inability of the class ahead of us to finish most of their projects and difficulty in comparing/rating them. I had to do an add for jewelery, instead of making the teaser for my movie. This teacher said: "Devotion". He didn't even explain it. And I didn't give up, but I had to work for a living and took a small job, so I'd have time to draw and 3D-model. I didn't feel well and I got worse over the course of the next five years. I couldn't even hold a pen in the end, but no doctor found anything wrong with me, except higher than usual blood toxicity. In the end my pain was unbearable, so I had to rush myself to a hospital and they didn't find anything conclusive after ten hours of examinations. They said: we can try a longterm antibiotica treatment, or we can cut you open and see what's the matter. I didn't hesitate and agreed to the operation. I would be too weak if the antibiotics didn't work and I still wanted to make my project happen. It turned out I had a severe and unusual bowel issue and was on the verge of a sepsis. The surgeon who operated on me almost all night said: "two days later and there would have been nothing we could have done for you". I recoverd. It took weeks, months, maybe two years in total. I worked during almost all of that time. And I tried to work less, because I still dreamt of my project. But my boss just wanted me to work more and offered me a fulltime contract. I knew I couldn't go on like that, so I quit quite recently. All I wanted was to draw and paint again. This illness and the need to function in our society stole ten years from my life. The guys who ran the artschool (which went bancrupt the year after my graduation), they stole my chances at a good start for my project. But here I am, about a decade later, and I have just finished the first 70 panels of my graphic novel in color. I'm taking a break from drawing the cover for Book One, as I write this. Granted, it's not the 3D realtime movie I had envisioned. But it is still the same thing I wanted to make all these years ago; maybe with a bit better story even. And I still have ten more chapters to go :) The point of all of this is, my teacher back then, he was right. He knew me better than I did. Despite all that crap and the hospital, despite my boss who didn't understand how important art is to my life, I am still devoted to the cause. In my language German the word he used is "Hingabe", which in direct translation means "to give yourself away". Destiny is a weird creature. I wish I could draw it. Maybe in my next book ;)

facts 💯 "Talent is a word found in the mouth of the lazy to dismiss the hard work of those who have achieved" it's all hard work, if you asked other pro artists they would say the same thing.

I kid you not, your title almost had me there. But as an artist myself, I started to reflect on my own creative journey and the step I took to get where I am now. I've been told my many people and even family that I had a "God-given talent." In truth though, I just loved drawing and obsessed over it, like many others artists have. So watching this, I understood what you meant immediately. Thanks again for this, man.

Basically to summarize this video: Kim Jung Gi was the Rock Lee of visual arts...

This argument is so annoying. It's both... It is BOTH! Kim Jung Gi had a phenomenal visual memory. Peoples brains work differently, some people have brains that work a certain way that gives them a boost in some area. It is what it is, but this motivated insistence that we pretend that the ONLY thing that contributes to an end result is work ethic is tiresome. Kim could not have done what he did if he didn't have a natural talent for filling a visual library. He put in a monumental amount of work to develop that in the way that he did. But without that natural ability to deconstruct the world the way he did, he'd never have become what he did. Kim Jung Gi was a once in a generation talent with a once in a generation obsession that allowed that talent to blossom. He was lightning in a bottle.

what a refreshing video ... good to remind that what we call talent is in fact work, work and work and cope with the fact that good practice (and patience) makes "perfect" ... thank you so much !

get your point but disagree, talent does exist. natural aptitude most certainly exists. doesn't mean you cant work hard and be successful.

Nonsense. Practice/training/development of course, and yes anyone can learn the craft, but at the same time, OF COURSE some people like K.J.G. are born with more predisposition to doing it more easily, sooner, and better than the rest of us, with far less practice. When that is cultivated, that's when truly incredible things happen. - Some people just take to some things more naturally than others, feel it in their bones, and then it becomes a self-reinforcing cycle of practice and aptitude. The difference between Mozart and Salieri. There is talent, which is a real thing, and those who have it absolutely deserve to be recognized & appreciated for it, even though most of us don't need it bc we don't need to be the greatest. Kim Jung Gi had extraordinary born talents, which he cultivated into exceptional skills by years of practice. No matter how much you or I practice, we will never be able to do what he could do. So don't help make our whole society into a meme of misconceptions that devalues the individual where kids aren't taught they have something special when they do. Talent alone is not enough. But at the highest levels of greatness like KJG, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Robert Frost or Michael Jackson, hard work isn't enough either. It's when you put talent and hard work together that you get greatness.

100% agree with you. One must definitely have an interest in a particular subject in order to improve and grow as an Artist. Instead of " talent " we should call it INTEREST. Now! The practice we do to improve our Skillset must be INFORMED practice and not mindlessly doodling on a piece paper. Guided practice! Asking questions: HOW, WHAT or Why. Take notes. Study the notes. Take a break. Practice! Repeat!

ofcourse he was, he had great memory, and great imagination envisioning the 3d space in his head before putting it on the paper

Invigorating and makes me feel incredibly hopeful.

he was great because he didn't waste time making videos solely focused on other artists...

What you had to say in this video was right on time, just what I needed. Some years ago I was pursuing learning to play the drums. My goal was to try and become a session drummer. I studied with some of the best drum instructors Los Angeles. I gave myself a 5 year plan to get to a certain point (sight reading drum parts) it actually took more like 10 years to accomplish this. My sight reading skills got me good gigs. Now that I am retired from music and the 9-5 world I started sketching as a hobby. I need to approach my new hobby like I did when I practiced the drums. Thanks for turning on the light bulb.

"Don't push yourself" KYG: "I locked myself up in my room for years until I was good"

Drawing ability is not inborn but some people have a greater ability to learn than others, based on faster, more complex thinking ability and a personality with more determination and persistence.

LETS GO! I LOVE YOUR WORK DEVIN

I subscribed because you asked me to. :D I mostly agree with your POV. Where talent comes in, is how quickly one understands the concepts and applies it to their art. Many people will study for years, draw for hours but take a while to get their a-ha moment. For talented people, it's just comes faster.

Holy sh*t. Perfect timing during uncertain times. I both draw and climb. But lack to choose one to pursuit. These 2 practices perfectly complement each other; leaving one would mean disorder. I am confused on which to choose. In terms of your psychology, I couldn’t agree more. Many people confuse skill with talent, they think it is some sort of magical potion; and it is true, because it doesn’t exist, only hard and smart work does. Btw, best comment section I’ve seen.

If you have trouble sleeping just watch this video.

There is natural aptitude or innate skill or 'talent' people possess that makes them a cut above the rest in any given field. Not everyone starts from the same starting line. Success depends upon the hard work you put in to develop and evolve that skill. Talent can only take you so far, hardwork takes you the rest of the way.

I remember giving up so many things because I thought I had no talent. It's only lately that I've realized that although talent might exist, it's not what makes you capable. Time, effort(proper effort, as you can still do the wrong thing for years and not get any better) and dedication, these can take you to the endpoint of what you want to achieve as easily as talent. In fact, more often than not, talent is just an excuse for people who are too lazy to even try. like me.

This is true. I have been working on getting to his level and I have been making progress. Still 30 years to go

This affirms a quote a heard recently, genius is 1 percent talent and 99 percent hard work. You showing us piece by piece how true this is just is incredible, You earned my sub! Hope to see you at 1k soon :D

What pen were you drawing with at 21:25? I'm looking for a portable replacement for the microns. Also great video, I linked it to some of my friends who I know are struggling with this pointless mindset of "art gods" and "talent".

we love to see it 🙌🙌

I miss him, man. Thanks for the video. My battle with the concept of “talent” is that it’s worked the opposite way for me as you described, but has been perhaps equally as harmful. Because I used to view myself as having some kind of innate ‘talent’ with art- that I thought I was somehow “just good” at it- I didn’t practice or actually draw or study for years and years. Then I’d wonder why I’d get frustrated when I couldn’t produce the images I conjured in my mind’s eye, leaning to intense burnout and devaluations of myself. A lot of the battle really is just sitting down and getting your metaphorical hands dirty. Nobody is just born being good at something.

I wonder what meaning it would have to discuss whether someone is talented or not when he has not even reached the level achieved by Kim Jung gi. Talent definitely exists. When someone achieves a level in 2, 3 years that others would need 10 years to achieve, we call it talent. Kim Jung gi reached the level of master at a young age. If you, who are reading this right now, have never drawn in earnest, but assume that you only eat and draw for 40 years from now on, do you believe that you can reach the same level as Kim Jung gi? Of course, it may be possible, but if you look at the probability, wouldn't it be possible only if there is a senior illustrator whose skills are similar to or surpass Kim Jung gi's? It would have been understandable if Kim Jung gi had said that the presence or absence of talent was not important, but he never said such a thing during his lifetime. He only said that it was natural to draw a lot. It seems like anyone can become a master just by talking about it, but we need to look at it calmly to see if it's true advice or just wishful thinking. Daniel Levitin once said that it takes 10,000 hours to become a master. However, people mistakenly believe that anyone can become a master just by following the 10,000-hour rule, but that is not true. Even if it is possible to a certain level, there is an absolute talent that determines whether one can become a master or not. And we must acknowledge that denying that premise will not change reality. Each person has his or her own talents. Some are gifted in athletic ability, while others are born with artistic sense. That's why there is something called an aptitude test. If aptitude tests are a meaningless theory, it should be possible to become a professional soccer player or win a piano competition even if you first start playing soccer or playing the piano after the age of 20. But we know that's impossible. Of course, I think anyone can feel frustrated and helpless after looking at Kim Jung gi's drawngs. This is especially true if you are in the same industry. As someone who drawings, I can understand to some extent the feelings of people who are jealous of him. Kim Jung gi is a person who gives both inspiration and frustration. The definition of art varies depending on perspective. If you continue to strive to achieve the same level of skill as Kim Jung gi, there is a possibility that your skills will be quite high, even if not at that level. However, not everyone needs to be a master technician, and drawing your own drawings may be an option. If everyone invested as much time into drawing as Kim Jung gi, would it be possible to reach that level? The answer can only be defined by those who have reached that level.

I started to realize that it takes practice and patience social media has made some new to beginning artists but their faith in so called talent or fame the likes etc but forgot that its practice everyday every month and every year that makes you better helps you improve

Nice video. But I strongly disagree with this notion. The definition of Talent is not one thing its 2 things. It combines a persons nature with time applied to a skill. Each person is born with different natures. Kim Jung Gi clearly stated within the video he didn't have a "nature" towards academics. So his nature lead him to drawing. People have different natural IQ levels, different left and right brain thinking patterns. etc. No matter what your natural talent is towards, time based practice will make you better at your talent. Assuming natural talent does not exist, is like assuming unique DNA does not exist. Its a flawed belief.

I agree with you. Im not sure how much your genes actually play into your skills. But i know for sure that everyone i admire who is better than me at something has put more deliberate work into his skills.

Clickbait-y-ness aside 🙃- I like your analysis. I would, however offer a bit of nuance; and (hopefully) further understanding. I believe that what might casually be described as "talent" has more to do with one's potential to INTUITIVELY understand any process which requires the application of human mechanical energy - and skillfully (underlined 🙂) apply said understanding - and to do so at the very pinnacle -- the Jung Gis and Michael Jordans of the world -- requires the ability to readily access flowstate. There is a mental component to all of this which we do not currently understand. With respect to Jung Gi, specifically: his drawings demonstrate a seemingly complete and intuitive understanding of space - both pos. and neg. - and geometry. I don't believe everyone has the same potential to intuitively process spatial orientation. I believe with practice, EVERYONE can improve over time - but I don't believe everyone's ceiling is the same for every undertaking. Stephen Wiltshire is a great example. The connections in his brain are just DIFFERENT! Anyway! Just my 2 cents - and again, great analysis. I'm now a subscriber. Peace!

Not everyone can be an NBA forward or the UFC Heavyweight champion, no matter how much you practice. That doesn't mean you can be very good for your build, you just won't be elite level. You have to play to your own strengths. Not everyone will be able to do what KJG did. If drawing without construction or reference is not your thing, don't sweat it. Even KJG himself said you don't have to draw like he does, it's just a quirk of his drawing style. Play to your own strengths.

Drawing and painting has been in my family for years...Your reference drawings look like my doodles

Love this as a learner. As a sculptor I seen the some people are so beyond talented. We as lessers we say master.without shame at all respect for even getting to see a rodan. Study it and stand on the backs of giants. But art has its mike Jordans and anjelos.both are masters and well trained.your point is real.most of the most talented artists I've known died from drug use

But he was talented. He had an natural aptitude observe the world in another way since his childhood. The way he thought about drawing was too much advanced for an ordinary child. There's interviews and livestreams where he talks about that. The kids from his school did not think about depth perception, observing things in "3D" like he was. Yet, his talent would not mean anything if he didn't work through it passionately and with dilligence. This is what matters the most.

Another great example of this is Steve Huston. Steve wasn't the strongest student in his class and he put in an obscene amount of work to become one of the best draftsmen alive.

Nice commentary, I agree. Kim Jung Gi's achievements are undeniable, and comes from nonstop practice, and from striving to understand how things work (literally). As a result he produced pretty technical work with incredible process - because the process is what captivated so many people, especially those who do not draw. However I would not deny that there are also very rare case of a talented genius, although that usually does not imply technical ability.

The age old discusson. My father was a drawer, and two of my best friends, Beto and Nalon. I tried drawing a lot in my childhood, and by age 16 I was about to quit it. My father believed it was part talent part skill. Beto believed it was essentially talent. Nalon, that it was skill. Of the three, Beto was clearly the most skilled. He was drawing better at age 16 than Nalon is at age 50, after a whole life of practice. And I still didn't find a refutation for his argument: it's in how smooth and steady a person can naturally trace a line. My lines were all crooked at age 16, and still are at age 50. No matter how much I've practice handwriting and tried to smooth it, it's crooked. A bit less crooked, but still crooked. Beto would show me how his lines came easy, smooth, steady. He would say that was the basic talent of a drawer. You can build on it, naturally, but you either got it, or you don't.

I think anyone who has put in thousands of hours of work into something, hates the word "talent".

Agree on the hard work being mistaken as talent. I think atleast its taking away from the dedication Gi has put into his career. On another note, Id recommend scripting your videos. Other than that, good job man.

when people ask me what is my passion, I m now saying : the same that Da vinci had.

I totally agree with you in not believing in talent, I've alway said that good art takes skill

I agree. He was a master. You dont become a master with talent, you get there with skill development, that you master. Talent is some what of a natural gift. Not everyone has it. Some people with talents dont even enjoy the things they are good at.

Mr Kim Jung Gi would be immortalised as one of the greatest artists in history, future artists would study about him and his works

While I agree that talent is not akin to supernatural and inexplicable abilities, I do think that people have different attitudes towards the process of learning, some ability to keep rational and constantly benefit from hindsight in their learning process that makes them learn more efficiently. I also think that being able to show patience in general and towards yourself is something that some people have more than others. What gives them that sort of advantage is certainly due to how they were brought up, but some are definitely luckier than others in that regard.

For me. I am considered the forever noob. I am entering a lot of stuff. In which I am not too good at right now. But still will go for it until I get there. I aim for an anime. So drawing practice is my way to go. I am a strong gamer. If I am not that strong in something in gaming. I can just sit there and practice and will eventually get there.

Imagine if Ai was deemed talented. Subject for another day.

thanks man i needed this for some reason.

well kim was the equivalent of nicola tesla there is talent or in other words IQ that enhances ur talent by miles nearly noone can visualize like tesla did. there is no shame in that there are still phenomenal people like him out there but skill and hard work is capped talent puts that beyond

People that hate on this video do not understand the message at all. Talent is a term that has been used to talk down people that have a possible passion in progress, doesn't matter if it's drawing or other forms of art like music or writing. Kim Jung Gi's talent was his passion, the joy, the happiness he felt while drawing, you can look at countless interviews and he will probably draw while doing them. He was a kind and incredible artist, one can say his observation (the way he viewed the world) was a talent but I and many others strongly belief that it was the curiosity and experience that let him achieve that skill. Does that mean you will be as good as Kim Jung GI by just "trying harder"? The answer is I don't know, you might be you might not but you also could achieve skills that even he did not have. You are also not supposed to be him, you are your own individual and should do what you love. Art even "just" visual arts like drawing or painting has such a big range, even if it is just 2D (from artstyle to medium like painting, sketching, caricatures, storyboarding, illustration, graphic design and so on). Saying Kim Jung Gi was just talented is negating all the passion, time and work he put into his art. There are many tutorials on how to learn the fundamentals but I think the most important part is to love what you do and expressing yourself, isn't that what makes us artists?

Kim Jung Gi was profound.....for a man who could virtually livestream his imagination in drawn form, "talented" is an utterly useless appelation

Really good points u made there. Nice video!

It's so sad that Kim Jung Gi died very suddenly, rather young, and still in his creative prime.

Isn’t this an obvious thing in the art world? U build a library of references in your head and draw and draw But also it’s finding your technique your happy with.🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Nah dude, im talented, i got born talented, i have showed it way too many times through my life. The problem is that such talent means nothing against poverty and lack of health. Also childhood traumas that create insecurities. My girlfriend got born without talent BUT she is consistent. She doesnt understand things i understand and she marvels with what i can do and what I can understand but i have achieved almost nothing and she has slowly but surely achieved bigger and bigger things. With her lack of intelligence, her lack of knowledge, her lack of talent, but with her patience, her perseverance, her faith and hope., things i dont have. I have sparks of brilliance, like a photography flash, she has a light with a dimmer that gets brighter and brighter.

great advice :) thank you.

Excellent insight! Did your climbing had an effect on your drawing strokes?

I say curiosity and stubbornness. But, yeah. Gifts are things that can be given, skill is earned. One of these is possible. One is not. Etc…

Could not agree more. Started learning guitar at age 40

Small steps at a time, focus on areas you need to improve at everyday and work towards them one by one. Draw a thousand hands and by the end, drawing hands will be as easy as breathing. That's what Kim Jung Gi did; he drew so much, until it was so natural to him. Keep grinding and eventually your efforts will pay off :)

hasL Love you Devin. You ARE talented and handsome carL

I think that calling a good artist "telented" is almaost an insult, it feels like theyre disregarding the years of literal emotional torture it took to be good enough.

There was something different about him though, like just watching him sketch on a board, he like, starts from a place most of the modern popular artists don't and then he reaches midway and you're like oh! Personally, I believe he was both talented and put in the work (a rare one), more so than most do in years. That mental library he spoke of, many of us can frequently visit a zoo, look at lions, sit and observe, go home and look at pics and yet no matter how hard we try we can't draw it from memory, still have to look at reference. I know it brings peace to those who consider themselves without talent to think that it's unfair to have guys n gals out there who have it and work on it. Like Dash said "If everyone is special..." and Ra "training is nothing, will is everything", if you catch my drift. That old joke "that painting that took you a week? that Asian kid did it better in 6 hrs" Anyone can become the artist they want to be, for some it will be harder than others, that's life. Most give up at the wall and very few repeatedly smack that(Akon) wall till it cracks, then it breaks and nothing else can hold you back. We see it all the time now thanks to social media, 'algorithms' that "prefer" certain styles, certain artists etc. Popular circles that some can never be a part of due to personal beliefs, styles or just plain late entry etc. To those of you just starting off or feel like you're not growing no matter how much you progress skill wise, number of followers ain't equal to skill level... If you are a creator, you need to create more and consume less for your own mental health, scroll less, sketch more and choose your path: Easy = Clout chase, draw popular stuff all the time such as Genshin characters or fair skinned women with big eyes and the anatomy of teenage girls or whatever the flavor of the week is. Negative points to mental health Hard = What you like, be it dragons, monsters, landscapes, short green elf waifus etc, will take longer to find you niche. Positive points to mental health

its very annoying seeing people calling you " talented"...

my goal is to draw like Peter Han in 10 years

i wish i could see the progress of his drawings. from kid till his last day

Thought of the video as an offense to the great late Kim because of the title, but I came out of the video so inspired, thank you. I loved your presentation as well as the content, I inmediately suscribed, looking forward for more content!

7:50 Kudos to that Dedication. I know that Obsession!

At 34 I'm too tired to keep up with this argument. Most people just think its an inherent talent and won't acknowledge my efforts lol

This sounds real magic. Get blazed, fill a 'visual library', then use that library.😢😮😅😊

This is one of those "let me hit you with a little bit of a hot take where I feel like I'm super smart since I've come up with some mind-shattering new conclusions". Kim Jung Gi was insanely talented. Take 100 artists who put in the same amount of time and effort he put into his craft and you'll still only get a handful of people able to do it as effortlessly and as quickly as he was able to do it. Talent is absolutely a factor in art. Talent allows you to learn certain stuff quicker and execute it better than others. Yeah, sure, hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard - but if talent does work hard, hard work alone won't get you on the exact same level of Kim Jung Gi if you don't have that something special. Not everyone can be a Tom Brady. Not everyone can be a Michael Jordan.

Someone has talent when they learn things quicker and easier due to brain chemistry, I have three neurodevelopmental disorders and seeing how much I struggle compared to others I can assure you talent is very much a real thing to consider

I wish i could agree, but denying the impact of talent like that is just downright wrong. Talent without the hard work leads to nothing most times, i agree. But the startingpoint and the adaptability of your brain to the particular task play a major role weather your work leads to something or not. You can sharpen a copper sword as long as you want, but it will never cut like one made from folded steel. Of course you can grow immensley with determination and smart use of time, but there is a reason why some people stand out in a field of monsters. Do you think KJG is the only artist who dedicated 30-40 years to the craft? What separates hin from all the hundreds of thousends of hardworking pro artists? I can tell you: Talent. Bis brain and soul were just a perfect match with drawing. Thats how i see it. Peace ✌️

the word talent is intresting, I feel it belongs to people born with things, I wasnt born with the ability to draw well I was just intrested in it, I drew nothing good at the start now I can draw a little better, it is a skill, but it is also a talent.. Werid grey area, and yes very clickbaity but eh this is the internet

I've been told i'm artistically talented, but i'm by no means skilled because i dont use the skills i do have enough sadly, or put time into developing new ones

Kim Jung is BRILLIANT🎉❤ A GENIUS‼️👌✨️ToomCapeTown

I agree that drawing is a skill not a talent, but i think that some people do have a "talent" for it. I think that a "talent" is a set of skills that is naturally (by genetics and life experiences) given to a person, and while i do agree that actually drawing is a skill, i also think that some people have natural advantages over others in obtaining it, such as natural observation tendency or fast understanding. thanks for the video though, i'm happy you explained that whole thing of talent and skill, because saying that someone is "talented" at a particular skill - for me at least it underappreciates the amount of time and effort that person puts towards it.

Actually, if you analize his drawings, you will find mistakes... But that´s okay, we are not looking for perfection, it´s the whole scenario that we care about...

I consider "talent" to be having the ability to pick something up with more ease than others, but anyone can do what a "talented" can level by putting in a bit of extra well calculated time and effort(because it is also very possible to do something daily and still suck at it).

What about Kim Jung Un?

I feel like people are indeed Talented. People who usually like to explain why others are really good at art or something, like to rationalize that, that person has put in a lot of years and has a lot of experience. This is a cop-out. The harsh truth is that Talent can seem threatening to people who lack it. It makes them painfully aware of how little, if any, they possess...

Could not agree harder

Please stop making videos regarding his skills, do you think that someone with no natural gifts can reach his level, you do these videos convincing people that talent is no more than 10 percent while in fact its more than 50 percent of course you have to be good, KGJ says that he was spatially advanced even from kindergarten. TALENT MATTERS combined with motivation and dedication makes a master.

I enjoyed this video friend, good work

❤❤❤

Nice job brother!

your hangups don't dictate aesthetics man.

No one is talented But you cant deny that sole people have better capacities and habilities than other less gifted. Many people doesnt have the same mind construction and imagination as kim jung gi Even he on interviews said that he is able to retain information for a little more of time than average people. Of course ,he is the clear definition of hard working and talent with a huge passion for art, and its pretty rare to see artists so unique as him. Thats why he was talented in some way, but me, and artist, would never say that he was purely talented, he has better qualities than average and that cant be denied, and that will not make me or any other artist to lower my expectations of what i can achieve, because he was the best on his area, and so there are many other artist that surpass him in other aspects.

must be why none draw like him right......... nor KT......... Nor Mobius. Next yall tell me is you dont believe in ceilings............... Must be why you can run track all your life and never run under a 4.7 and a skinny ninja just runs 4.2 because his ceiling is higher than yours.

Weird click bait

He was a genius of perspective and improvisation, period. But also his ideas (which he had A LOT) were trivial and irrelevant for art, the finished product is just a nice technical work.

100% clickbait thumbnail but the content is spot on 🍻

Thank you.

Talent for me, is when an individual improves at a faster pace than the majority or the average

There are talented artists i knew art prodigies 5th grade had a kid already draw insane things like mobile suit gundams in class things that adults struggle with some people just cant stand that there are just naturally gifted people and wants to bring those people down to everyone else's level like yourself i seen your art and why and am i not suprised art is mid its always people like you in the art community 😂😂😂😂😂😂
