Importance of Eye Level in Anatomy & Buildings Art Lesson (From Kim Jung Gi)

Clipped from Super Ani live stream (22/07/20)
Link to the full stream below. Kim Jung Gi gave a lesson to his viewers about The importance of an artist knowing the eye level and where the perspective lines are in their art to make better drawings, so I uploaded parts of it if anyone wanted to see it again. The full stream and channel has way more tips and content so go check them out.
Super Ani: • 2020.07.22 Live Comics...
Some Notable Points Summarized:
*) Use Perspective lines & Eye level to make better drawing with fewer errors (e.g. control the size, angles, curvature, lines of objects so they look right).
*) Artists decide and know where the eye level and perspective lines are in their art (even if they have not drawn them out and others cannot see them, they know in their mind).
*) All lines drawn gather at/relate to the eye level (it effects the line's degree of curvature/inclination).
*) Everything in a drawing follows the same eye level + perspective lines (people, buildings, background all follows the same lines not different lines).
*) To study this lesson better: Draw multiple people/objects next to each other and a background, so you will understand how objects relate to each other, how perspective effects them, and how to study story telling in your art (its also a good way to practice human anatomy).
*) It's important to study and learn the foundational lessons in art to improve.
I do not own this video. I just edited it. Hope you enjoy!

    The old man in the bg was kinda trolling Kim Jung Gi. Basically Kim Jung Gi asked the audience, "do you understand the concepts that I've been trying to teach?" And the old man in the bg said in a kid's voice, "No I don't~." And Kim basically replied that you should look for another occupation. While I think Kim Jung Gi is partially serious with this joke, he's also goofing around with his friend.

    Something i really want to point out in this video is to take notice on how many lines he uses to get across the subject hes drawing to us the viewers. For example somewhere around 14 minutes notice how he draws her book with very quick gesture lines and just enough info to see that its a book. Honestly thats like one of the biggest take aways from this video.

    A good way to get into the mindset of Kim Jung Gi, is to see the world in 3D the same way as a 3D program. A good way to do this is to open up a 3D program like Blender and experiment with boxes and see how the angles change as you move it in 3D space. For example, you can see having the top of the box at eye level will produce a flat top, but the bottom of the box will have sharp angles in comparison because it has to "reach" further to the horizon and vanishing points. I learned a lot about cross contours from blender. In my opinion it's a must have for a beginner; it's so helpful to see the "correct answers" in real time. This requires that you know how to move the camera in blender, and even set up a camera with the guides on so you can see the eye level. Blender also has a 3D grid that you can use as a perspective guide.

    AMAZING LESSON. I haven't drawn in a long time, right now I'm applying this principle to simple cubes and cubic cylinders. Then I try to do some stairs. In the spirit of Kim Jong Gi, adding a slight fisheye effect helps to emphasize the angles, making them easier to understand. I'm having a great time learning how to recognize not only the horizontal eye level, but the vertical equivalent as well.

    For people that have a hard time understanding it, you just have to understand 1 pt, 2pt, 3pt, perspective, and how you'll see the top of a box if it's below the horizon, you'll see the bottom of the box if it's above the horizon, and you'll see less or flat top if it's right by/at the horizon. The farther the box is away from the horizon, the more open and sharper the angles will be, the closer it is, the flatter. By simply having 1 line (such as the angle both eyebrows are tilted relative to each other) you can imagine where the other lines are beginning to fan out towards a vanishing point/horizon line. I'm also a beginner so feel free to correct me where I'm wrong.

    it may create new vanishing points but the horizon would stay the same example if you draw multiple characters in one scene they all share the same horizon this decides what part of the character and scene youre looking up or down at applying this more to what you said imagine a fist pointed straight at you in perspective at eye level all youd see is the fist knuckles thumb most of the arm if not all of it would be hidden as the arm is lowered the vanishing points bring the rest of the arm into view as the fist pulls away from the horizon line and thanks to foreshorting the first would still be bigger then the arm if this is an extreme perspective like the hand is very close to you then it will seem to shift from very large to normal pretty fast and drastically ( while the arm is going down in perspective from the horizon it makes this shape / \, | | imagining those lines represent an arm and for an arm moving up its the opposite \ /, | | the fist moves up over the horizon getting smaller untill its normal size straight over their head any further back it begins vanishing into the horizon getting smaller) another example could be if say the man he drew bent over like he was picking up a coin well our eye level is around his waist lets say he bent pretty far so now hes below eye level his body is going to be pulled up towards the center creating a triangle and we would probably see some of his back you could imagine lines going from his hips, shoulders, head, etc towards the horizon everything still stays in line

    You should not be put of by what he was saying..”if you don’t understand this just get another job, you’re not meant to draw”, in my opinion that was arrogance, a normal person interested in drawing might have talent for it, but not understand what he said because he or she doesn’t know the basics of perspective and can’t see or imagine what he was describing, on another page, one who knows the basics can easily understand what he’s talking about either if he’s talented or not. So, listen to just the skill advice on this video, don’t listen to any “career/life” advice, and don’t be put down for not understanding this if you like art, because in my opinion, what he said was out of arrogance and not clear enough.

    I would have tried to describe too how the vanishing points change depending on if an object is parallel and/or has a 90 degree corner. If objects with 90 degree corners like a table and chair stand parallel to each other, then they have the same vanishing points, but if the chair for example is turned a bit and not parallel to the table, then the chair has different vanishing points on the horizontal line. That's how you end up with multiple vanishing points on the eye level. If everything was just objects of 90 degree corners, then you basically only had 2 vanishing points on the horizontal line.
