- Опубліковано 19 гру 2019
- In this Star Wars special episode of Design Cinema, we share our approach for adopting design languages to existing IPs.
We use the 1977 Star Wars and the 1998 Japanese anime series, Cowboy Bebop, as product examples. We raise the questions: “What if you were hired to design for these projects? What would you do?”
Follow along as we break down the design processes and explain the importance of each step.

more excited for this than the new starwars :D
agreed
Sameee 🙏
thats not really saying much
Me too senpai
I've been going to art school for about 5 years now, and it has done very little to help my drawing. I've always wanted to become better at realism and conveying my ideas trough drawings, but art school has knocked the wish to draw right out of me. We dont't have concept art schools where I'm from, so I went to study painting. We did figure drawing right from the start and by the end of our 2nd year, you were told that you were now an expert and cold do essentially anything. Most students chose to go abstract before learning the basics of realism. I did some skeleton, animal and figre studies and was ridiculed for it, so I switched to doing some meaningless abstract paintings for my bachelor thesis. Later I changed from painting to illustration, where the climate was slightly better and more supportive, but they still wanted 'expression'. Only now that I'm done with my studies am I really starting to learn. I watch a lot of lectures online, draw from photo reference every day & am slowly figuring out realistic painting. I'm already 25 and I see a lot of younger artists with superior skills, which makes me angry at myself for all the time I've wasted. Well, no good dwelling on the past, I'll just have to work hard and make up for lost years. :) What I wanted to say is thank you for sharing your knowledge, and just so you know - you're a better teacher than all of the staff of my academy combined. May the force be with you.

Ever heard of the Watts Atelier? It's one of the best schools in the US, if not the world. I'm not even kidding. I'm not a student because I'm not fond of the kind of art they focus on (with the exception of concept art. Yeah they teach that there) and I'm also not a marketer or whatever for them. It's a school in San Diego, California I think but there's also an online program that's really good that mimics the on-site teaching available in the Watts classroom. If the kind of art you'd like to focus on is Portraiture, Figurative (Nude and clothed), Still Life, landscape, storyboarding, Illustration (for book covers and magic the gathering cards and other jobs) and concept art then that place I hear is incredible. Some artists like Wojtek Fus was a student there and worked on the recent Star Wars movies. I personally don't know how their training works, specifically how a fine art school can also teach concept design for films/ games, but they've found a way that's either hidden/gatekept on purpose or just really difficult to find in the fine art/illustration/ concept art trades. I suggest you start with the video " how to train to become a successful working artist." I think training doesn't mean they're trying to root you out of your expressive abilities but refine it so that it can be communicated and refined. Good luck on your art path and I hope your artistic spirit conquers the hardship of life. Easier said than done, I know :)
I love the new classroom style format. The primary reason I come to UA-cam is to learn.
Thanks so much Feng! These videos are treasure for self-taught students.
I guess I am kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Jaziel Jaiden Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!
@Pierce Jake You are welcome xD
Love the video! I love this new format. I learned more from this one than I was expecting. A lot of people talk about design language and things like that but this really quantified it as a process and method that I can understand. Have an awesome holiday season!
Absolutely LOVE your videos. I generally sketch around while listening to these eps in the background. Super inspiring so please keep up the good work!
I loved this episode so much! Thank you for taking time to make this videos! They're very inspiring and informative! Every time I watch one of FZDs videos I feel the urge to draw, it's magic. Happy Holidays and New Year for you and everyone on the team!
One of my favorite episode so far! Design definitively has the biggest impact over an appealing asset. Love the way you teach it! :D
I love the new format. The class format is really helping to understand better the knowledge that you provided. Thanks a lot
This was one of my favorite videos, it was so cool to see how you created such interesting designs for both franchises, the Star Wars one was super cool, it really motivated me
Been watching for ~8-10 years, and really loving these new episodes, very on-point and fresh since around Episode 94. I used your sketching w photos (episode 99) technique in a CGMA Environment Design class w Aaron Limonick and he found it really cool & hadn't seen it before.
I'm planning to apply for FZD School in early February for the June 2020 intake!
Cheers,

The best art channel on UA-cam, hands down. No one else makes informative videos like Feng does.
I love these long and very well detailed videos. And if these types videos are more easier to produce for you and your team, then that's even better. Thanks again Feng!
I found Design Cinema around Christmas time my freshman year of college, and now I'm a senior! First I want to thank you for inspiring me to start drawing and painting again, since I always liked art but I hadn't done much art in high school, and never touched a tablet before. I had the mindset that cool art was just something that other people did. But 3 years later I'm much happier with my work, both digital and traditional! I really enjoy Design Cinema since you explain the reasons why fundamentals are important, which is why 3 years later these types of videos explaining "basics" are still helpful. I would definitely like to see more of these! Thanks again and happy holidays :)
This instruction is way better than many courses that charge you money to view. It's like an early Christmas present. Thanks, Feng! I'm always awe struck at how someone of your caliber finds the time to share your gifts and knowledge with everyone.
I am starting a visdev portfolio with a couple of my own design projects, this is right on time to help me along thank you.
That is so very useful and informative! To disassemble iconic designs like these and fill those "slots" of properties in with a new thing and still within the borders - such an effective approach. Thank you so much - these episodes are the coolest!
This is one of the best videos on design thinking ever! And not just visual design it helps me with my music as well. Thank you so much Feng! 🙏
i have great respect for artisans like this guy, who take their work very seriously and know the value of fundamentals and hard work
Thank you!! This is an extremely accessible, principle based explanation of how to do design start to finish. It gives a great starting point to practice from. Please make more of this type of lesson.
Merry Christmas to us! Thanks Feng! Have a good one!
Such a treat before the holidays! Thanks Feng.
I'm no designer and I don't draw much anymore, but I always follow your design cinema. To me the last few videos have been very inspiring because I can see the potential behind it that go well beyond just drawing and concept art. The "design reduction" to keyword for example could easily be used for character creation in written media, defining what the character would act like or present itself to others. Although I dabble in digital art, having never been schooled in arts, these videos are incredibly mind opening. Here's to a 2020 filled with Design Cinema :D
These episodes are amazing! I feel like I'm learning A LOT! Thank you for sharing your knowledge :D
I'm an aspiring 3D environment artist and I'm currently gathering references for my next sci-fi project. Being in the design and sketch phase this mindset that is presented here is gold to not lose time and scope of my scene. I understand know how to settle on just some key design elements and follow them through my environment. Great resource and thank you very much!
Hi Feng! I think there is a lot of resources that teach fundamentals, so this kind of episodes more focused on design itself are super super useful! Thanks!
All FZD videos have been so inspirational and helpful for my life. Feng, you inspired me to become an entertainment designer. I hope to thank you in person some day.
Amazing video! Your design specific videos are my favorites.
Loving the new format, happy new year Feng!
I like this talk about researching what influenced an old IP. The recent Resident Evil remakes are choosing redesigns that belong in the late 2010s, but the game still uses 90s computers and other details appropriate for the years the stories took place. It's a design mashup with no thought behind it
Have a happy holidays, thanks for the episode and knowledge, happy holidays again to all!
Feng and whole staff, hope you all are well even with this covid-19 spreading around the globe. Stay safe with your families! And thank you for the amazing job you always do!
Thank you for this video! I really struggle with design and this was a great video to help me along. Definitely the kind of content I come here for.
Thank you for still making these videos.
Before that video i thought that the concept artist needs to know everything,
Now I now that he needs to know even more than everything.
that classroom format is really nice and helpful imo
this is so gooood it's been a while sense i thought about designing anything. thank you so much Feng =D
What a fantastic episode
This was incredibly useful, pls more of this! I never thought about design like this and I will apply these principles to my music as well! ⚡⚡⚡
I love this format of video and would like more.
I love your videos, Sir. Thanks for all the great advice and inspiration.
I just love your videos, it actually takes me to another world to listen to your ideas and watching your creation. Can´t understund how you could talk and talk so fast and everything makes perfect sense. By watching your videos i feel i visit the Hogwarts school magic of drawing where i wanted always to belong. I am beginner and non professional but i love that! Thank you from Czech Republic
I love this, this is so helpful for aspiring artists like me who are learning from their own, thank you Sir, hope you will teach us how to design weapons
Beautiful Episode. Thank you.
What you said around 14:20 about new design languages not translating well into old IP's really resonates with old Halo fans.
My brain: I can do it.
My hand: No, you can't...
Oh, dude, is simple, I think the only difference between you and him that he just put 40 000 more hours in drawing than you.
this video was incredible, thank you for sharing your knowledge
The likes to dislikes ratio is from a different universe. I hope UA-cam never gets rid of the like/dislike option, because when I see a ratio like this ( 1.1K 👍 vs 👎 7 ) , I know, something extremely good is happening here.
merry christmas Feng,your videos are awesome and super appericiated, especially by begginers like me.
great episode!
Amazing lessons!
What a fantastic video. Thank you!
Always nice to spend one hour or more listening to you!
For your Starwar design, l came out with two solutions:
1) The ship lock his engine into a Cruiser ship slot, So the gun stay out able to shoot.
2) The canon rotate 90° and gears can came out from the large plate.
But i prefer the first idea, because it keep it fonctionnal, this kind of ship dont need to land on planet. And the design dont say that it can fly easily in atmosphere. ;)
thanks man..merry christmas and happy new year
amazing channel
Love this style of video!! 🙌🏽
Yaaas. An early christmas present. Thank you Feng
Thank you so much for another amazing class! 🙏
I love these kind of videos! amazing designs!
loved the video feng! Having practiced value would love to see a video on painting with colour next!
These videos are so good! After watching your videos I've realized I could actually do this as a job instead of just dreaming of it. Better spend that time working instead of dreaming xD
That‘s amazing ！Thanks Feng！
Good video. The Falcon cockpit reminds me more of the B29
you made my Christmas, Feng.
Thanks! Great episode
Yes! This episode was great! More like these please. :D
Merry Christmas to me! Thank you Feng.
Thank You for this!
amazing !
Thanks very interesting lesson.
Thank u so much feng zuu....fo this wonderfull episode
Amazing
Thanks again, classroom concept is working perfect! Let’s keep m comming! :-D
As usual Feng Brilliant informative and entertainment.
this ep is so helpful, sir
Space Battleship Yamato is a good example of this, taking so much inspiration from WWII planes and ships.
Really, thanks a lot!
Thank you Feng
When I saw the Star Wars style sketch with the extra long nose and big engine I saw an awesome side culture/story where scrapers visit old battle sites and start hot rodding beat up X wings and such.
always thanks for mentoring us, i will tell my god u kind a beautiful Heart
thanks for doing this videos :)
This is very helpful.
Oh my god, can't tell how I love you
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!
very cool looking ships, 3d really increase the level of presentation
Superb 💪💪💪
Nice video Feng! I'd also like to see your method for adding color to the grey scale value paintings in Episode 102
Interesting about the WWII fighter planes. Was just reading an article about The Expanse where one of the creators was saying "Everything, I think traditionally, was modeled over you know, World War II fighter engagements in the Pacific”
i was really confused but at the end with the demo i understood what you wanted to explain, because you chose imo a really subtle difference, those two IP are really similar, both making a salad with western cowboy, samurai, world war, the ships in cowboy bebop are really sturdy too and with a purpose. But the difference is there, but it is really subtle, i think the video was great but i just would say that they are not a contrast but more like a subtle difference
Really enjoyed this episode! Would be good if you could do a character design episode for beginners
Thank you very much, i'm a graphic designer for like 6 / 7 years, and i decided to go for the concept art, at least to give it a try,(this field of art for me is a childhood dream) this video motevate me a lot for give that try, of something new, to grow up, and maybe the thing that you said about kid in ourself is the way of finding of not working but creating, what else can makes you happy? I think finding yourself is the key of succes, than you don't even think about work, maybe it's pure enjoyment? Thax again *sorry for bad english, greetings from Moldova
I didn't know I needed to know how to research until this video
For some reason the "beautifully ugly" made me think of "Tank Girl" :D
This very cool thanks for this wideo
it's 2021, I am waiting for Cowboy Bebop's new release with Feng's designs!
Tie fighters attacking the Enterprise actually sounds super cool..!!! Q would be the one to make it possible.
cheers mate.
Yes! this it the way ! Starwars design!
"New Cowboy Bebop for ... 2021 or something?"
And here I am sitting in 2021 with the live action Cowboy Bebop released on Netflix.
I remember when I was 13 I wanted to become a concept designer so badly. It’s been three years and I just sent out my portfolio for Fine art.
well done!
