  Can't believe he's gone... he was always up there as one of the greats for me and surely to a lot of people. Often using him as an example of a pro. Crazy with perspective, drawing from memory etc. Damn. 47 is still way too young. RIP legend..

  I think Gi also had the advantage of a photographic memory. A friend of mine introduced me to him at Angouleme festival, and commented that Gi recognized him every time they met, though they never traded more than a friendly greeting. Then two years later, I was passing Gi&apos;s table in at ECCC Seattle, and he pointed at me in recognition, and smiled in greeting. He had remembered me from two years before, on the other side of the world, from nothing more than a friendly exchange of greetings, the sort he must exchange a hundred times a day at probably dozens of festivals per year. <br><br>So when I see him accurately reproduce the complexities of motorcycles and scooters, or perfectly capture natural wrinkles in cloth, animal anatomy, specific types of architecture, etc, all from memory, I simple marvel at his gift of perfect recall. He was a true one-of-a-kind master, who clearly supplemented his natural gift with incredible discipline. We&apos;ll never see anyone like him again in our lifetimes. In addition, he was warm, friendly, and real. RIP

  &quot;Don&apos;t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what your passion is. Because the world needs more people with passion.&quot; I think that quote just changed my life. I only just started to pursue what I&apos;ve always wanted to do (animation) after years of getting side tracked into other areas where I think I could make people happy while ignoring how I really felt about it. This video just popped up at the right time for me. Thanks for making this dude

  As of today, he himself, the legend has died... A man loved by the art community.. You know, he inspired me to draw using ink, before that, I was stuck on drawing weird anime proportions until I saw one of Proko&apos;s videos featuring him. I started drawing and used a sketchbook this time and I got better. This man was why I drew, now he&apos;s dead but still lives in our hearts and within the art community. Rest in Peace, Kim Jung Gi.

  This video came in the right moment for me.. i have months struggling with understanding perspective and wishing i could draw it like the masters. I was starting to get frustrasted even to the point of not wanting to draw. SO this really made me realize i was pushing myself too much. I really needed some guidance so, thank You so much. I Will try to focus in a better way now
