    Feng, could you do a video specifically about working as a freelancer? You have already mentioned some points through your videos, but I think there's a lot of things that are still very obscure for most of us watchers, especialy when entering (or trying to enter) in the industry. Things like how to charge, how to reach the clients, how to netociate, etc.
    Thank you! Your videos are always enlightening! Cheers!

    6 year later and still very much relevant. I'll be showing them to my grand kids.
    Even when you watch the same video several time you still learning something new every single time.
    You are exceptional Fz.

    I love how designers talk. Just like my concept and design teacher. Always come up with these crazy ideas with everything that is being proposed to them. You can tell that these people can generate ideas

    • @corybrown8196
      @corybrown8196 8 років тому +2

      +bloodsord9 me too brotha. Designers live in their own little worlds in their head, and when one gets to see inside the mind of another designer, it is just exciting to see

    I can relate to the sudden burst of improvement story.
    I have been drawing horses for years, and they didn't look nice in the beginning. Suddenly, I produced a drawing that I didn't even believe I made. I was stunned by it myself.

  • @jonmiles8091
    @jonmiles8091 9 років тому +1

    The pop out tips is a HUGE addition. That type of 'how we did it' knowledge is a big bonus. Great idea. Thanks for implementing it.

  • @fschutt247
    @fschutt247 9 років тому +1

    Thanks for you saying that there can be "leaps" in quality. Although I am not a painter, rather a 3D Modeler, this really gives me hope. It's the same thing in 3D. In the beginning, I couldn't even make some clouds look good and I failed a lot and didn't finish projects. Then someone wanted me to do a kitchen for archviz. Although the project failed due to planning and the lack of deadlines, it gave me a boost in modeling. Then I participated in a competition. It gave me a boost in lighting. When I look back, I've learned a lot. There are the same "leaps" in quality- you just have to stick through to bad parts and go on. So thanks for saying it. It can be really motivating listening to people and having the same experience.

  • @Jallenbah
    @Jallenbah 9 років тому +7

    Great video. Since your environment thumbnails video I've been doing a lot of thumbnails and I enjoy it a lot. Like you said in this video, it takes away some of the stress and pressure which I get when I try and do a more complete painting that will take me up to 10 hours. I also find it's been helping me to learn to indicate detail without actually having to paint it in.
    I love design cinema.

  • @gXite

  • @Cearts
    @Cearts 9 років тому

    You're insight in these videos, is always inspirational and motivating. For me personally though, ever since the very first videos, your explanation of things, always makes the goal and dream of being an artist and earning an living from creating images seem easy and achievable, but what you really do is just build massive confidence through your breakdowns, and exposing a process. Thank you

    @nicklegend3788 9 років тому

    @FZD I really enjoyed this Episode and must admit that I learned a lot. It's so refreshing to have the opportunity to educate although opportunities of of time and money were not present in the past to do so with expensive schooling. You're working methods are superb.

    @kaya2939 9 років тому

    thank you very much for this video. Fear definitely can make someone doubt their work.I feel as artist we should always have such great work constantly, but completely forgot that everyone has gone through the beginning stages of making bad art and with time it starts to improve and its one of the best feelings :D thanks for your words of wisdom

    Q&A: At what age did you go to art Center and did you go for the art school and not for self study because you needed a visum? Did you stay in L.A and work for studios/freelance or did you move back to singapore? Sorry if theyre too much related to your life, but it resembles mine really well. Thanks for all these awesome videos, youre the best!

    @thephantomcomics 7 років тому

    This video makes me feel good about putting my worst books out. At least I learn from th experiences of production. About the stock inspiration and example folders I had made. I found the same issues. Over load of stuff and nothing thought out.

    On this episode the approach (roughly) was to mix buildings and environments. Another cool mixings, and which could be approached on future episodes, could be cultures, animals, time periods and many others.

  • @rorschacharts
    @rorschacharts 9 років тому

    Question For Q&A
    In the past few months / half a year, I've drawn more than ever, and have improved to some degree, but I never feel like I've drawn enough. But at the same time I look at everything and do everything with design in mind, though sometimes I have put off drawing to do other things. I am 16, and remember how Feng once mentioned that this should be the age to just enjoy life more, but does this mean I am procrastinating, and is the concept industry for me? I can't imagine doing anything else.

  • @centralquality1
    @centralquality1 9 років тому

    How do you start your own freelance business? I want to, but am starting from square one. Should I get a new or used Cintiq? How do I generate business and clientele? You are one of the best role models I have of doing this successfully, and I would love to know a little bit more on how you built your business. Thanks.

    Q&A: Where do you think the video game industry is headed in the next couple of years? Is it going to be a viable industry to work in, or do you think it will become a sort of sink-or-swim industry, like cinema seems to be right now? Also, thanks for the great youtube channel, it has really helped me a lot. :)

    @cristiansomcutan 9 років тому

    Question for Q&A: In interviews some professional concept artists say that in the near future concept artists will have to work in 3D software (like Z-brush or Modo) and even a little animation. Could this be true? If I'm a student should I also concentrate on learning to use a 3D modeling software?

    @botisonny 9 років тому

    Awesome episode, it's very encouraging for those students that aren't that confident yet.
    Also if I may add, if there will be cool pans like at the end of this video, could it be slightly slower? At certain speeds it blurs up a bit and gets uncomfortable.

    Q&A: Do you think that illusion of fonctionality is enough for a concept artist or real functionality is a necessity?

    • @BombaJead
      @BombaJead 9 років тому

      Yunus Samil Tufekci Well that depends on what your concept is for, most of the time for games/movies you would want implied functionality as it gives you more freedom to come up with original ideas.

  • @chromedrcp
    @chromedrcp 7 років тому

    At 25:03, How does Feng brighten the thumbnail? It looks like a large brush in combination with a lighting or layer mode? I have seen it used many times to brighten/darken areas, add atmosphere etc.
    Any ideas?

  • @dougieladd
    @dougieladd 9 років тому

    Man I love this channel. Thanks Feng.
    Question: Do you amend your process as you work nowadays? Or do you feel that with your vast experience, you have created a sweet spot within your workflow now? And stick with it?
    Loving the new branding of the DC channel videos too. Looks very professional... even down to the funky music :)

  • @S.C.D.
    @S.C.D. 9 років тому

    I'm just a bit confused about Art Deco you mentioned last episode and I learned some in school. The bauhaus movement seems to be classified as being part of Art Deco. What I learn from bauhaus is it is a way of doing things and seems to be the beginning of industrial design. So is Art Deco just a blanket term for that time period?

  • @jamestom2510
    @jamestom2510 4 роки тому

    what im finding hard, being a green newbie, not just a newbie, is that my pen strokes are inconsistent and dont track the way i want to see them. i have reduced the working area on my tablet but still finding some strokes hard to achieve. the second thing is the type of brush. Im using CS2 as i have all my photography actions stored, but still just need heaps of practice. Do you have a video where i can learn certain pen and brush types and how to achieve desired brush strokes.

    @FPstyle1 9 років тому

    Hi Feng, I really want to be a concept artist like you but im new with digital art. Ever since i was a kid, i always copy things and draw them on my book.
    Now, i am quite confident in copying things and drawing them traditionally, sketch book and pen. Does this method help me improve too? I dont feel confident in making my own things and the necessary next steps that i should take to produce my own work..
    I hope you can read this message. Thank you for your time.

  • @N7oshea
    @N7oshea 9 років тому +1

    how do your student physical health go over the year, I see amazing coming out form the students but with the amount of sleep and caffeine there on, how don't burn out after month, do they just adapted? Is that simple, I come form a exercise science background and anything time I done studies or looked up reports on these lifestyle it usually downhill with most demographics, but schools like your own seem to trive this approach, with puzzle me, has there be any reports done in the past?

    • @omairjamal3027
      @omairjamal3027 9 років тому

      Yeah, I heard that the school is very intense since it is an accelerated curriculum. Its just one year which is awesome but you are operate on little sleep. They have a 2 week break in each of the 3 semesters though so that helps you recharge I think :)

  • @curiouscollectiblesAU
    @curiouscollectiblesAU 9 років тому

    yeh, Hi Feng Zhu (or your staff) i have a question about using your own photograph's pixels in commercial work. Since you are the one who closed the shutter over the lens, are you allowed to use the image's pixels to create works, even if its noticeable that it, for instance, a photo of someone's garden statue?
    I know you've done photo-collaging before with the Elderscrolls concept art- Ep.70 but I dont know if you were using Google images or your own snappys. Nice work dude.
