Drawing From Imagination
Most artists spend years drawing from reference, waiting until they feel "ready" to draw from imagination. But ready never comes. Because nobody taught them how.
This page serves as your hub with all the information you need to learn that skill.
Draw With Confidence - Even When There’s No Reference
I’ve been obsessed with drawing for as long as I can remember,
but one question haunted me for years: Why can I draw well from observation… yet freeze when I try to draw from imagination?
I could copy anything I saw, but inventing a pose or placing a figure in space always felt impossible.
Then I discovered Kim Jung Gi, and suddenly I wasn’t just frustrated, I was determined.
“How does he DO that? Why can’t I?”
That moment started the journey that shaped everything I teach today.
The Hard Way (that I took,
so you don’t have to)
For years, I tried to improve by doing what everyone recommends: study anatomy, perspective and proportions. And I improved.
But when I tried to draw from imagination?
I froze.
Because drawing from imagination isn’t about mastering one fundamental. It’s about combining them, at the same time.
That’s what we train here.
Not isolated skills. Controlled complexity.
