Design Cinema - Episode 105 - Time Management
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2020
- When learning, it’s important to push yourself to finish projects and meet deadlines. In this episode, we break down a drawing into 3 manageable days and focuses on the importance of day 1. The goal is to find your design by the first day. This will bring down the overall stress level and give you plenty of time to add polish and details.

Don't Think I've ever thanked you for design cinema,close to 10 years watching your channel and has helped me so much in my career. So thank You!!!
Saaame, I've been watching these episodes for so long, definietly my favourite podcast
@@jessicatriana same here, 10 years ago i discovered this guy and i aspired to be a concept designer i ended up being a children's book illustrator and i do it professionally now. but this guy got my gears going inspired and motivated me to draw everyday and 10 years later here i am
@@kanon1118 that’s awesome! Glad you’re doing what you love
@@kanon1118 Awesome!! So glad to see someone push forward into a career they love!!
@@jessicatriana Such a generous heart he has! Everything could simply be an ad for his school, but he is providing valuable lessons for free!! Anyone motivated enough to take these principals, and apply them, has a good chance to get work.
I love your passion to teach people. You have absolutely no obligation to give this to us for free, but you do anyway.
Absolute legend. This is exactly what i needed, thank you.
2020 was supposed to be the year that I applied to FZD School but unfortunately sometimes life happens and you cannot longer leave the country. Nevertheless I created a project which I call FZD at home. I researched a lot and I am currently practicing 6 h, larning about the industry drom former students like Charles Lin and doing the exercises and projects students do in Term 1 and 2. There are alot of resources out there and I am determined to make it on my own. This video couldn't come at a better time
I’m sorry that you aren’t able to go now because life and the virus happening.. I would LOVE to hear more about your project because I was considering putting a program like together for myself but didn’t know where to start! How has it been for you so far?
@@SakuraChai I've been doing something like this with a fellow art friend. Maybe we should make a group for it.
IroPagis that would be a fantastic idea!
Whats the program you are following exactly? Im interested
@@SakuraChai I started by ordering the books Feng reccomends in his Videos (Scott Roberston and James Gurney - color and light) and read more books about the Art Fundamentals. I also wrote down and Information Feng gives in his Videos about the industry and how to learn in your own. Another helpful resource is Trent Kaniuaga here in youtube. Then I started to disect any Information about the projects students do at the school. There are several projects that come up every year like designing a superhero lair and made notes about which project is done in which term. I also bought almost every Gunroad tutorial by Charles Lin, a former Student of FZD, who teaches plotting in perspective the way he learned it at school. It is a bit like detective work but it really helps
„This will not be about procrastination … if you‘d rather play videogames or something, you‘re not serious about this.“
I get what you‘re saying, but it‘s not as easy as that. Often it‘s less about not wanting to do something, but more about being afraid of doing it (badly).
And the more important something is to me, the more afraid I can become to do a bad job at it.
Still you‘re right that that is my own problem to figure out.
FZDSchool is the BEST channel for anyone wanting to be a professional artist, even if you don't want to do concept art. I've tried asking pros some of these important topics but none of them answer. Thank you so much for your generosity, Feng!
try level up, been dead for a while but it was really good too
Yoooooo another FZD video after all this time!!! Let’s gooo
It's awesome you're still making videos even during the pandemic; as someone who wants to take advantage of the extra time I have to improve I really appreciate the help
Amazing teacher! Thankyou so much!
Yaaaay! Another gem to the collection. Thanks, Feng!
a live stream sounds really cool!
9 years of content and still learning... Ty you absolute humble men
I love seeing your sketchy design ideas! Your placement of form and line weight is exquisite.
Watching your videos and practicing at home is what got me started in my career as a concept artist. Can't thank you enough for all of your content and instruction. I loved this format, and would love to see more videos where you just knock out some early design sketches without worrying about polish. This kind of content is food for my design soul.
wow, I just randomnly searched FZD today in hopes he made a new video in the past month or something but lo and behold a new one today. That's crazy
I really needed this as I usually struggle with time management during the creative process and later production stages. Especially now that I am working on my own IP. Thank you a lot Feng!
It‘s been a year. How‘s your IP doing?
@@NikHem343 Thank you for asking! Still a mess on the time management thing, but I have recently tried to organize everything a little better. Been writing and taking notes about concept ideas that keep evolving from the base. Also explored some more designs. Such a good feeling. I keep working on it. I appreciate the follow up man!
@@AdrianVirlan No prob, man. I'm such a procrastinator (although making progress myself), it's always fascinating to me when people can follow through with their big ideas. You seem to be on a good way, which is great to hear. Here's to another year of progress!
I don't do nor want to be a concept artist, I'm a developer and have a little interest in design and illustration, but these videos help a lot, this one especially! I've been watching for around 5 years now!
Why did I stopped looking at your Chanel a years earlier.... Priceless stuff man. Thank you.
I just found this a couple of months ago and wish I had years ago. Who the hell would give these videos a thumbs down??? These videos are the best online for staying the course!
I wonder about that too
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos when you can, it is very appreciated!!!
Thank you for this. You're my favorite teacher.
Hey Feng, can you make it so the playlists play from episode one? Currently they are playing in reverse order, so newest episode first.
I've been watching Design Cinema for years and am old enough to have watched most of them as you've uploaded them, but I recently started to rewatch from the beginning. Absolutely invaluable information in these videos.
The community is very fortunate to have this resource available to them, and it's all free. Your generosity and the hard work you put into these videos is very much appreciated.
You are amazing! Thank you so much. Having this direction and guidance will be life changing for me.
Every time I watch a video of yours, another question I had gets answered. Thanks for sharing and keeping us sane while figuring things out 😁
Hi Feng. Can you do an updated video on character sketching? Specifically, on how to develop ideas and thumbnail sketches.
I study mechanical engineering but I find these stuff useful especially during the ideation phase of machine design.
Another fantastic video. Time management has been an issue for me and you really do make it look so easy. I'll be adopting this to my work flow. I love the idea of reading a book and designing something for it as sometimes I struggle to identify what I want to achieve by the end of a week. This will be great to practice. Thanks for all your hard work.
Absolutely BRILLIANT, been watching these videos for quite a while now and like some of the other comments mentioned I don't think I've ever put a comment in myself.
I'll just take the opportunity now to say a huge huge thank you for the invaluable information and for the effort that's being put into this content, it's helping and inspiring a ton of people.
The livestream idea is something I'd love to watch as well, would be very cool to see!
Love this! I might try these time blocks for a traditional landscape painting.
One of your best episodes.
Love class room format m PowerPoint type more than Drawing. Love love to hear feng’s mindset in given topic
Thank you Feng!God Bless!!
This was incredible to watch and learn from the THINKING process that you employ for yourself and help your students with. I've learned so much from this I will be applying to my own workflow now! :) Thank you, yet again! P.S: Would LOVE to see the other parts of this pipeline next :) Oh and if you do a live episode, announce it and I'll try get on!
My most productive time is when I’m watching this
man thanks you alot for this, this stuffs really change my life
Haven't seen you do characters in a long time, great video!
thank you sooooo much for this new episode !! :D
Thank you zhufeng for your wonderfui video. Very helpful.
Really great episode!
Nice to see another design cinema
Am I the only one who watch these videos to see some really cool sketchs ? Even if Feng says that these are just for us and are not meant to be seen by anyone else, I enjoy more seeing these than final artworks, probable because they look more "natural" somehow ..
This is great my man
Thank you for your time. I heed all your words. I'll be waiting for 106.
feng is so epic he doesn't even need his hands to draw
As a student this is very helpful to see.
Thanks for the video Feng!! If you could, I would love the next video to be about what are the primary details vs secondary, tertiary, etc?
Thank you I find myself working at 1am because um so bad with my time I needed this.
Thank you for doing this, and take about this subject. plz do more.
Everyday is a day 1, great idea !
I am so happy!
yesss more stuff!
Thanks for this Feng, great vid'.
nnnnice!! Feng, thanks as always for your effort and passion to share your knowledge!! ;) WE LOVE YOU!! :D
Please do the live stream! That would be super useful and fun to watch.
ahhhhhh yeeeessssss new episode
As always great talk. These days I really do learn more from understanding the mindset as opposed to technique. I'm wondering how this would apply to designing interiors, I just came fresh from episode 107.
awesome thank you!
Thanks a lot for the next episode maybe characters design would be amazing since its been long time we didn’t see characters episode from fzd
Finally!
that sounds alot like the composition gigs i used to have. sometimes i had to do a redo of like 10 times until it got approved. sometimes, the client didn't get it even though there were lots of ideas, but its important that it should be well produced even if its just sketch. i lost quite a few clients by not paying attention to production value,
Terrific information
Awesome video! I'll try and see how it works. :)
This process has been super helpful! I've been following these phases for the past few weeks, but even though keeping the order of them is working well, I find it takes me longer than 3 days to finish things. At the moment I'm working on a huge interior design, and looking at a lot of FZD School student work, do they really get those done within 3 days? There's sooo much detail, not to mention the coloring and lighting.
It feels like I'm getting the hang of a good workflow (finally), and I'm prioritizing quality of work, but I'm wondering if I should push myself to speed up much more. If you don't mind, what would a decent range of time be for a fully finished piece of work like those interiors, to be portfolio ready?
Nice!
I too am trying to figure out how to manage time better. Except instead of procrastination, what's eating my time is a day job and too many art things I want to learn.
Thank youu
Awesome video. Feng, can you share your photoshop brushes with us? I know you always say there's nothing special about your brushes but it's just neat to be able to use the same brushes as your favorite artist. Thank you.
It would be very helpful to see this process for an interior- also in terms of setting up the camera and what to sketch. Because my question would be- would you just sketch the shape of the room for the first day? Or also the bigger shapes like closets and this type of stuff?
Have a nice day.
One thing I struggle with is that I tend to lean on what I know too heavily. You managed to generate some interesting features - the arch/tunnel overhang, the trees wrapping sections of the roof, the high chimneys. But I would default to a boring basic farmhouse design and then try to theme it up. How do you train your brain out of defaulting to the generic, and into finding unique features and interesting concepts?
Try to use references (steal from others ideas) i often use pinterest to find some interesting designs etc.
Type for example: stylized house, scifi house, scifi building.. based on what youre aiming for
Basically, you need to balance the applicability of the design as functional asset (what makes it a house or a vehicle or a costume and why) with its abstract visual impact as an image. What makes an abstract shape iconic? What makes the association of a emotional state with a kind of color palette? Designing is the articulation of abstract, symbolic and representational visual (in this context) information in favor of problem-solving.
9 years of content and still learning... Ty you absolute humble men
🤟🏼🤟🏼excellent
Awesome Episode, very good topic. Love your drawing style. If you plan to stream I would like to join.
the irony that i was working on something, made lunch and put this video to watch while i was eating but i ended up watching the whole thing and procrastinating hahaha im sorry feng i failed you
That could be Feng Zhu speaking, that really puts me in the zone :))
Wow...
*automatic like*
Thanks Feng... I so enjoy these, I've watched all 105 to date from the very first day... Question: How old is/was your oldest student... just curious... asking for a friend.... :)
A new video! im still on ep51 tho, so itll take me a while to get here
17:30 - I found the ref gathering really frustrating. I always always ask the client for some heads-up time ahead of beginning, so I can gather ref and they absolutely NEVER oblige. They want to basically brief you on minute one of day one and from there you really have to be ref gathering during client time.
Thanks you bto
Every game-dev company I worked for in-house had dedicated reference-gathering time for artists, and It was common knowledge that this is important step in doing work. If they expect that you skip this step, or worse - steal your time from your family - then smth is wrong with that company buddy.
I think he meant that comment for freelance artists. If a client pays you for a character design job and three days later all you have are a folder full of ref images, why should they pay you for that? How do they know you gathered those images for them and not a different client? It´s easier to prove you´re doing it for them if working in-house, because many companies have apps that track your activity on the computer. Freelance, they can´t track what you´re doing, so it´s hard to prove.
i found a gem
Yeah - I'm all for some live streaming. Those timelapse videos are nice but sometimes the "rhythm" of painting in real time tell a bit more about the paint as well as the thought process.
Feng is a monster, so much materials for souch a small amount of time. Jeeeeesh... Im soooooo slow.
What is the standard resolution/size of the paper you work in a project like this?
Shouldn't I show refined thumbnails to the client/art director so they can show me the ones that are in the right direction for the project before I commit to a single design?
Cause following this process, I'll have a single finished design on day 3 before any kind of approval. I'm a little bit confused about that.
I think it would be okay to show looser sketches that have different paths and good general design
design cinema is scary close to my time managment.
What would the process be if this design was turned down? Would it start from the sketches again, would you iterate on this design, would it depend on the feedback?
does muscle memory become easier over time or does that mean you're becoming stagnant with learning how to do things differently? sorry if this doesn't make sense, just a thought
Does anyone know which Brush the FZD people use to make their sketches and renders? and which brush configuration also if possible!
Hello! I think that's the basic round brush. In all the videos I've seen from him, he recommends using a simple round brush because it's simple to use.
How would this work with character design/illustration ? Would you draw side or front view first before drawing them in perspective ?
In a book called "The Skillful Huntsman making of a grimm tale" (which is co-authored by scott roberston) the artists there begin their character design as silhouettes or rough line sketches, most often front view but some like 3/4 view as well, becasue it character design, you want an appealing silhouette and THEN you work out everything else
@@OlEgSaS32 Does it matter what kind of pose it is ? Thank you btw, I'm gonna have to check out that book.
Ayoko na makisali sa project na ito kung ano man ito I quit.
idk but a building up in the air like that and highly flamable roofs don't feel that nice and safe to me (having grown up in a european former farm building myself)
!!!
But is it wrong if i procrastinate by watching this video? Hihihi
Procrastination is dangerous.... The word itself is cancer.

ВОт субтитры бы не помешали, да переводчик их переведет не совсем масимально однако они были бы намного лучше тех что созданы автоматически, потому что в них смысл искать порой сложно, особенно когда смотришь видео типо этого, не говря уже о слэнге и терминах и прочем дерьме. Жаль.
very interesting but its 50min long .. i don't have time!!!
not gonna lie...I skipped to the drawing part
