Feng ... you are the most patient man on the planet re-answering the same question about fundamentals, brush types and color palettes over and over again, but remaining so calm about it.
Thanks for everything in this year. Have a nice vacation and Happy New Year. Cheers
thanks for ALL the advice and your time
I'm not trying to learn anything when I watch your videos. I just like to keep your video running on one monitor and have you talking while I do work related stuff. After a few minutes I just phase out. It's a compliment ;)
Thank you for keeping this going, Feng! You're an inspiration!
we should start a petition on that, and call it the ones in the thousands that would do the solo 16 h / day practice motivated and fueled by the creative fires that burn within us
i check for these videos every single day thank you feng!!
@EnterN4me I think you've got the point. CS5 and Painter12 uses graphic acceleration to renderize the canvas and it doesn't pixelate until you go over the 100% zoom, any new generation software is starting to use this feature. Almost any other software or prev. versions can't do this, they usually become pixelate at medium zooming level. For you guys asking about brushes he's using standard round brush and chalk brush as always (using the chalk to simulate little details in textures).

Happy new year!
i usually spend about 8 hours a day and i can vouch that even 3 hours a day for a year will improve your work
Thank you for sharing.. you are an inspiration Feng Zhu!
@MichelIchiy
We do not have any scholarship program for international students. Our best advice is to search for a personal loan or check with your government for an education/design scholarship. Thanks for the inquiry and let us know if you have additional questions.
Happy new year!
Thanks Feng for taking the time and putting up a video! Its really appreciated!
Thanks for sharing this technique, I know you didn't really explain the techniques thoroughly, but by showing it I have just tried it and find it amazing!
I have yet to come across one video of yours to say "well, that's not new", thanks for sharing and helping us getting perspective on this awesome craft of yours.
That queen is awesome! Great advice too, thanks again for the tutorial.
The FZD Design Cinema Contest deadline is approaching soon. Be sure to submit your entry by September 30, 2013 to win a trip to Singapore. Good luck to you all~~
well about ur first question he used the lasso tool to select the area and then he did ctrl T which is transform. When and object is in this state u can increase and decrease its size as well as stretching it. in this case he holds shift to keep the proportions but make it smaller. Hope it helped :D
Thanks Feng for doing one during Christmas/New Year, much appreciated present.
Another masterpiece from Mr. Zhu! Thank you Sir!
That is so true about game ADDICTION. Back in the days, I spent way too much time playing video games and not spending enough time to develop my skill. Now, I'm a professional designer, but not in the video game industry...a bit regret. :( Feng thanks for the video demos... that was very generous of you. Because of the videos, I'm now starting to do some digital painting on my spare time. It's very inspiring.Thanks!
Master Feng Has returned , (Bow down).
Hi Feng, I love these videos and learn a lot from them. I want to save up to study at your school sometime hopefully in the near future. Thank you so much for these videos!
i love this method makes designing characters soo much easier than penciling them out :D thx
hey..i just want to say that i love watching your videos and i actually learn quite a bit from them. I like your art styles and they are very inspirational, so keep it up!
One thing i learned strongly from you Mr.Feng. 'PRACTISE'
tons of thanks for your design cinema.THE BEST CINEMA i would like to see in youtube :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO FZD :) awaiting for the EVENT show in Feb :) keep rocking :)
you always help me improve myself good vid
many more episodes is one of my biggest new year wishes :D
Awesome video as usual! I'd love to see some concept vehicles. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for letting us learn :)
6:06 love the bug dance!
Thanks for sharing your work and knowledge wit us :) You're the best Feng!!!!
uve gotta be like the best designer in the world
Thank you for the detailed answer, Feng)
thx for another great vid! happy new year!)
11:00 chihuahua with bug legs.
Wow, already 4 pages of comments :) Thanks for the support.
Shad3rr: The word "originality" does not fit the entertainment business well. A better word would be "marketability." Product and Ent are two very different industries. Is Skyrim original? No. But is it successful? Highly! Same with MW3, BF3, ME, etc. We work in a visual only industry driven by the market. Visuals which "sell" wins at the end of the day. Also, construction and work principles are only indicated but rarely required.
Feng, you spoil us.
Fundamentals are things like perspective, lighting and anatomy. Then, move to color theory and composition.
Thanks man. So true about the gaming. I get sucked in a lot and those producers know how to create some addicting games these days. Keep up these inspiring videos. They are fantastic.
finally!! another video!
I see your point, and I myself felt that as well, but then I realized, that Feng here is speaking to the designer wannabes when he's talking like that. So you can sleep well at night :)
Yes new video!
I was just staring at the monitor until I realized there was FZDSCHOOL in the subs YAY
Please do the color tutorial!
@Vickramjason i would say he uses a standard roundbrush with pen prussure and he controles the opacity manually .... sometimes, i think, he also uses chalk brush? but i'm not sure...:)
25 hours practice a day , drawing level ASIAN !! !! ! ! !
...."If you're still a student.. try to stay away from video games.." I Lolled on that one! XD
@themalmana - And the question is to Feng, but my method is to listen to music.
Music is pretty amazing sometimes...
Thank you very much for this! :D
Definitely bind it, cause you end up using it a lot. It's very handy. I have it on ctrl-f
@futureanim8tor the numbers on you keyboard 1=10% 2=20% and so on, and if you type two numbers fast you get the exact percent. for example (5 and immediate followed by 7) =57%
Thanks Feng! So much for this stuff :)
Happy holidays comrade!
I second that, definitely.
@knozos On average a person functions best with 16 waking hours, so working longer than that might actually cause you to have mild sleep deprevation, and in my opinion, prevent you from doing your best work. Plus, it`s highly unlikely that you can work 17 hours straight. I mean we need to eat, take breaks and relax your eyes and stuff.
But yeah, you should definitely get as much practice as you can.
amazing technique, and also great tutorial : ) keep it up Mr. Zhu, i wish you add here more of amazing tutorials.
Regards!
this is just amazing! Its so helpful...I so jealous of people who actually get to go to this school...
Очень вдохновляющие видео, и спасибо что не вставляешь музыку, а говоришь об индустрии. Пожалуй это лучшие видео по игровому дизайну в сети. Так что спасибо за эти эпизоды.И удачи в новом году!
*Wery inpiring videos! and thanks you for not pasting music on background, but talking about industry. I guess it's a greatest game-design videos I ever seen. So, thank you for this episodes. And Good luck in New Year!
P.S
Will u make an artbook?
Do you take part in game-art exhibisions,like dominansewar?
Yeah haha I actually did all of those things today, before I read your reply!
And I found out last night that keys 1-0 change the opacity of the brush.
Cool.
more schools!
That's true and you're right - I suck at this. Thanks for the help...
already liked and favorited and +1 before watching!
Great new year present, many thanks! :3
@EnterN4me Unless you are printing something, DPI has no bearing on the way your image looks on screen. It is just part of the printing equation that gives the actual printed size of the image. So, for example, a 2000*2000 document will print twice as large at 150dpi than at 300dpi, but will be exactly the same thing on your screen. If you're getting pixelation, you're trying to add too much detail for the resolution. Make it bigger, or don't try to do so much on a small image.
What really is an IDEA and how to create it? What is happening in your mind when you are starting to see the big picture? -malmana
@thedevo01 I got to use a cintiq yesterday and it was freaking awesome. I don't see how the Intuos has any advantages over it. Other than that it is more widely used. I hear that drawing with a tablet is a major challenge and takes a long time to get good at.
17:05 who can see statue of freedom ^^?
i see it
klendatu! inspirational!
Man,, you are amazing :D !! THanks for making me feel like a crappy artist unintentionally xD.
think what you'd like at my school people are working all day long, but its not like we are only studying a single subject that we are working on for 16 hours a day, but we do draw almost all day long not always in front of a screen.
Awesome video, especially with silhouette. I try doing some on my own but after I block them out and going back into detailing them I can't figure out how I want it. Is it because I'm too attach to the silhouette or does it relate back to the fundamentals like you said? Thanks
I'm starting to learn all what can be learned from these design cinemas. Now just practise, practise and practise. I'm not interested in fundamental stuffs so much yet but the design itself is tricky. Best ideas comes when I'm trying to sleep in bed at 2 am. So is there any kind of mental practises you do for ideas and concentration? Besides coffee :D
@knozos Yeah i remember that too, maybe he mean to say per week not per day. But it's unrealistic as well if you want to become a professional.
I don´t have time for games. Can´t stop drawing silhouetes :)
@kevin71127 You'll need a High End monitor along with Cintiq because it's just a screen with a touch sensor, not a HQ screen. DELL U2711 is the one I'd suggest (better than an iMac). If money is out of the question and if it's the 24" Cintiq you're talking about, then fine, go for it. But tbh, that's a very amateur mindset; Each equipment is an investment though if it's absolutely sure you can earn 1.5x the price of a 24" Cintiq within a month, I don't see a reason why not to buy it.
Can you tell a big difference between the use of your Intuos 3 at home and the Intuos 4 at school when it comes to pressure levels and sensitivity?
@FZDSCHOOL Excellent tutorials! Which tablet do you use?
this looks so FUCKING good!!!
Two quick questions:
1. At 08:56 what tool where you using there?
2. You said that you used keys 1-9 to change the opacity of the brush, did you do that by creating a new action in the actions palette and then changing the opacity of the brush then finishing the recording and assigning the action to a key?
This is my christmas present
okay he just said he controls the opacity using 1 through 9.. that explains it
man... Wow.
Any idea is there going to be the Master Designer Workshop next year?
17:12 Were you using a large, low opacity, white brush to lighten up the bug and create high lights, what were you using to do that?
The funny thing is that I played Skyrim lake two days and then I everytime I looked at the Thumbnail on my Desktop I was like. Nah... I can do other stuff.
Does this method work well for close-ups as well, or does it really only work for full shots?
thanks feng :)
It has been awhile. But anyway, I appreciate all of the videos and am always "refueled" to keep on practicing. I notice I lose motivation a little too easily :/
is there a particular reason for needing to do these in such a large size?
I often get too caught up in details so I made it a practice to start with small size documents and then bump up the size later when I`m ready to take it to final.
Hey Feng Zhu,
@15:15
Quick question, when you start detailing the upper left bug what is the new brush you're using at that point? I see the chalk brush, the volumetric lighting brush, and the round brush, but there's a 4th "new brush" you're using extensively to detail the bug.
What brush is it? What's the name for it? Is it a custom one?
Thanks, big big fan of your work, I've watched every video since day one.
at my VFX school we work 16 hours a day if not more once the term starts going.
@Diamondz2k
He uses the default chalk brush
I cant understand how when he presses lightly his strokes come lighter. I know he has his opacity off but how does he do it?
Did you use opacity jitter when drawing the bugs? Or did you just change the opacity manually/change to different shade of gray?
Hi feng! Im greatful for your episodes they are very good. You talk alot about the fundamentel parts and I just wonder if you can recommend some books about perspective, anatomy and other important parts. Thanks for what you do feng and Happy new year!
@thedevo01 I see where you are coming from based on price. But leaving that out of the equation, why would the intuos4 large be better? because you don't see your hand? Sorry if I'm asking a bunch of questions, but you seem to be a knowledgeable source.
Sure man, not questioning that.
@knozos Yeah, of course you have also the real works. 8 hours / day. And then you will do that 17 hours of practice.
hey feng my style is pretty much syfi space ships i was wondering if u can do a quick demo on that.
