Kim Jung Gi Lecture Report
Last Thursday, I had the privilege of attending a lecture by Kim Jung Gi at SDSU’s Storm Hall West, room 012. It begun at 7.00 p.m. and ended at 9.05 p.m. It was not only exciting, but also informative, offering insight into the basics of drawing.
The lecture kicked off with introductory remarks by Professor Neil Shigley who welcomed Kim Jung Gi, describing him as the most important artist of star wars. Professor Shigley went on to present a summary of the artist’s life. He mentioned that he was born in 1975 in Goyang, South Korea, where his passion for art developed as early as seven years of age (when he started drawing). The professor briefly highlighted the artist’s effectiveness and success in the art world. He pointed out that since 2007, Kim Jung Gi has published three sketchbooks that detail his monumental work in more than 2,200 pages. Professor Shigley expressed his gratitude for the invitation by SDSU, especially because he was not an alumni of the institution. He then invited the guest artist.
Without further ado, Kim Jung began demonstrating and explaining some important drawing basics. He began sketching on 14×18 bristol papers using an ink brush pencil. As he drew, he took time to explain to the close to five hundred students in attendance. The first sketch was that of two men and an airplane (see figure 1 below). As he progressed, he emphasized the significance of composition and pointed out that one of the most important things an artist should know is how to use the drawing space. He proceeded to sketch silhouettes on a separate plane in the same paper before drawing the men’s clothes. He explained that this has always been his approach ever since he was in middle school. On another plane, he demonstrated how to establish eye level as well as the vanishing points while building other elements of the pictorial space. Everyone watched with excitement as Kim Jung displayed his artistic talent.
Figure 1: Kim Jung’s first sketch
The artists moved to sketch his second and third drawings (see figures 2 and 3 below) which were equally fascinating. The drawings featured boxes and animals as well as artistic elements that he illuminated through different perspectives. He added that including secondary elements to any piece makes it more powerful and convincing as far as its thematic purpose is concerned. His artistic mastery was evident from the way he was drawing: he was doing it fast and without any error or need for erasure. He appeared very comfortable and confident as he drew.
Figure 2: King Jung’s second sketch
Figure 3: Kim Jung’s third sketch
In the fourth drawing (see figure 4 below), the artist illustrated how to draw different rooms in different floors from the same perspective and eye level. Exercising this, he said had helped many of his students improve their drawing skills. Clearly, King Jung was generous enough to share his skills and approaches in drawing.

He then proceeded to his firth sketch (see figure 5 below) in which he showed the two men and airplane (from the first sketch) from a new perspective.
Figure 5: Kim Jung’s fifth sketch
As he concluded, the artists displayed some drawing samples from his published sketch books. Drawn in different colors, the drawings left no doubt that Kim Jung Gi was the master and expert artist we know him to be. He offered a word of encouragement, stating that practicing over and over again was the surest way of perfecting in the journey to becoming a professional artist. He clarified that students had to do their best and equip themselves with requisite skills because that way they would be assured of securing jobs in the future. By and large, it was quite an experience to attend that lecture. It offered insight into some drawing basics that if mastered, can bring huge success for anyone interested in specializing in drawing. I was impressed by the ease with which he drew and his ability to visualize his drawings before actually drawing them. As I left that lecture hall, I had no doubt that Kim Jung had indeed earned his place in the arts arena as was evidenced by his fame and popularity in the last few years.
