Atmospheric Perspective

KIM JUNG GI

Kim Jung Gi is a Korean artist who does illustrations like the ones shown. Most of his drawings are done in a .5 perspective. He works primarily with pen and ink. What sets him apart from other artists besides his intriguing style is his ability to recreate scenes from memory. All of his illustrations are created without the aid of references. 

Kim Jung Gi currently creates books that are a compilation of his drawings. He has written many short stories and has been published in magazines. He teaches manhwa (Korean comic book) to universities. He goes to various comic conventions and has become renowned worldwide. He offers online virtual courses and posts his own youtube videos for free drawing assistance. Highly recommend checking out his videos!

Kim Jung Gi’s style interested me, because for the atmospheric perspective project I have chosen to draw in this same perspective. I find this perspective interesting and pleasing to look at. I admire the extreme detail he has in this work. It would be interesting to incorporate something like this into my assignment. Not as detailed, however the creation of a scene with people in this perspective.
