Design Cinema - EP 97 - Planning Your Workflow
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- When learning, give yourself a design goal, set a realistic deadline and establish a consistent workflow. In this episode, we will be demonstrating these processes step by step. We will be taking the theme of “scientific research ship” and expanding it into several key frames.
The first step always involves finding good references. Next, list out the design objectives and set a deadline. Third, use rough sketches to find the composition and initial design direction. Finally, do a mood and lighting pass by using photo-bashing to speed up the process.
By following this production workflow, you will have a clear direction before committing to the final image. This will help you save time and frustration down the road.

I can't thank you enough Feng, you inspire me everyday, and i have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for helping all of us
You always help me to take a step back and not get overwhelmed with starting a piece. You don't know how helpful this is for me. Thank you!
Agreed! Not understand workflow and staring at a giant blank canvas is so overwhelming, and worse, ending up with a piece you hate after struggling for hours. This structure is SO much better for both improvement and higher quality end results.
I guess there is a least amount of people that really willing to teach like you Feng ! Thank you so much
Design Cinema pulled me on this path few years ago, and Design Cinema is keeping me on it. Thank's Feng, you incredible person. You don't know me, maybe you never will, but you will always be my master.
"we cant show these thumbnails to anyone, they are too ugly.." (shows six beautiful paintings) FML
Lol I thought the same thing!
I was thinking the same lol
IKR. this man says these are not good every time and every time he produces beautiful works of art adn design that just shows what an amazing and creative mind he has.
This was very insightful! The whole concept of essentially creating your own reference with real world subjects and changing 10% by combining multiple things to work from is awesome. Thank you
I've recently started on some personal art projects and approached it very similarly. Just sketch out any ideas that you have, no matter how bad or messy it might seem, as long as you yourself understand what's going on.
I think me watching Fengs' stuff for so long might've burned that into my brain lol
YASSSSSS! New upload! Any Self-taught artists here?
here
Hell yeah!!! Well more like Design Cinema taught artists xD
yes

Thank you Feng Zhu. I prefer to see the early, thinking stages, like this episode rather then heavy 3d or rendering which we can find already in other places and in your previous episodes. This here is concept art and is the gold quality stuff I can watch over and over to learn from. Awesome awesome stuff. Thank you for all that you do. Ryan Zingery
Learnt so much from you Feng over the past decade, you produce very valuable information for free! Much appreciated. You bring all these cool ideas to life and it's always inspiring. Please do more ancient technology themed stuff, they must of had giant diamond tipped chainsaws to have cut those monolithic granite stones. You would no doubt make that look really cool.
I love how you are showing your understanding of position when doing the ship's interior... where you kind of are showing the direction of the sun which you do not see from the ship's front view but would if you looked from the ship's front towards the horizon.
Thank you Feng for finding time and making an effort to produce these magnificent videos ! Your time and effort is highly appreciated !
I just don't have words to thank you for this all this incredible information. I've never commented in any of your videos though I follow you since a very long time. I once thought about getting into this world.... I ended up choosing medicine haha but still I watch mostly all of your videos and I see how many of the tips you give, extend to other areas in study and work. I appreciate so much being able to have a little insight into the videogame and film industry, it makes me see and enjoy them much more. I think the reason behind my never choosing to dedicate to concept art and design was: 1- lack of information about the industry 2- lack of confidence on what I was able to do and my skills, which leaded to never really searching more information. You basically sumarized both points in the video hehe. Thank you for the great content, always a pleasure to watch and learn !!!
Thank you for all this videos, I do really enjoy them. Not sure if you check the comments posted at old videos but if you want references of how look the houses of a monolithic culture Skara Brae in the Orkney islands is a good example.
Thanks Feng. These long form videos are really helpful.
Perfect. Thanks a lot for the free tutorial again. I am happy you are back.
great video, would love to see how far you take these in 3d. how much modeling you actual do vs place holding.
You read my mind!
what software are we using fo 3d? not photoshop?
@@michaelrene2551 Just use blender.
v2.8 has box mapping and a realtime renderer, so it's super good for concept stuff. It also doesn't cost $1000+
Greatest point was keep doing artwork on a daily weekly basis! As with anything in life want to get fit well work out not just 2 days out of the week and then just eat and sit around.
I love this series. One of my favorite things to watch!!!! This dude is awesome!
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos, they're extremely helpful!!
I love these! Please show us how you map it out in 3D, at least for one video please!
Just wanted to thank you for making these kind of videos. Especially the latest ones really helped me improve. Keep it up! :)
Really good content man, I learn so much from your channel, thank you for putting your time on this videos!
I dream one day manage to go to your school! ^^
I kinda get what you said about these photo bashes, they look like screenshots from some old sci-fi / horror movie from 90's xD but at the same time, they look incredible in average people's eyes!
Wow 2 videos in 1 month. Thank you so much.
Yes! stoked about this subject matter ! would love a lost history movie !
Can i use any photo from google to create my art without having problems with copyright?
if i recall, if u dont show to anyone its fine.
But if its for a client, work, etc. u gotta destroy 80-90% of it. (meaning u draw/edit over it)
Also, check its copy right rules. some pixs in flickers allow to use in commersial for free.
A good rule of thumb is that if you figure the photographer would recognise their work at a glance, you've probably broken copyright. Bad risk for the small independent artist- getting pinged by Getty or similar agencies can fuck your life up for years.
I think if you are at that stage, just take your own pictures, you can take pictures with yhour phone
Feng, FF7 Remake is coming out soon. Can you do a short video on your thoughts of the design? Any friends at Square that can give us behind the design look? I know you’re super busy but I would love to see you play the whole game and do a design/commentary on it.
As always, best videos about designing for games and films on yt!
Another great video! Thank you Mr. Feng. Can you do a video on your "draw-through" method that you use for insects and vehicles? Thank you.
The videos this year have been so helpful..
Hey Feng Zhu ! I am a big follower of what you teach and I've always wondered where and how do you find all of those amazing Ref. images ?
One thing i learned from looking at the industry from the outside is nepotism can get you much further than skill
Thanks for everything Feng
This is life-saving:) , thanks
Feng! I would love it if you would go over your workflow for more character oriented designs!
"bad photobashing"
Excuse me sir
I want to do what you're doing ;w;
thank you so much for doing these!
brilliant!! thank you Feng!
awesome as always Feng, greetings fromBrazil...
Praise the lawd a new video is here
I learned a lot in this video, thank you
Great video!!!! Awesome information on workflow and developing a good process!
Any recommendations on sources for randomly creating project briefs/story brief?
probably I'm the one that you describing, I watch all your videos and get inspired but when I try it, I get frustated so this is getting like a hobby... since I don't see any job available for so long, I don't have an objective. I'd like to be an intern or something similar to really level up, but seems like won't happend
I'm not going to lie I kept hearing "Elven sub" instead of "Alvin sub" and it confused me more than I would like to admit.
wisdom...thnks alot for share your knowledge feng
Amazing!
I love these
My vote goes to the windmill for the next episode
Awesome video!
:)
Hopefully that submarine won’t implode
Yesss greetings from Germany
I always get asked a lot when I do pieces, how do you do this and that, that fast...now I ask you how would you as someone who does this professionally answer these sort of questions?
Thanks DUDE!!!
Yeaaaa booiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
4:30 Yeah man. I get really tired when Im drawing mechs if I dont set up constuction lines. I thought something was wrong with me. Why does the mind/body tire so quicky during sketches that intice us to zoom in and pick apart one little area?
ancient megalithic style is also called - Cyclopean
and yes there are many ancient tombs altars and other sacret places
some were cut into bedrock like Hypogeum in Malta other build like Tomb of Agamemnon in Mycenae
btw. if you like good books about ancient civilisations check out - Science and Secrets of Early Medicine by Jürgen Thorwald
*it's not about temples and building but this is one of the best books about ancient knowledge !
greets
Will there be something special for 100th episode ?
Who could we talk to about Wacom set ups? I have a rig, I just need an input now. Looking to spend $0-$1,000
do i need to learn how to draw on paper before i start learning on photoshop?
Oof, you dodged a bullet here 11:00 x)
thx
Missed a couple ep, but when he says build it in 3d, does he mean actually building it in 3D or rendering?
models the scene in 3d with basic shapes and then paints over it in photoshop. It is how many people deal with complex perspective/lighting.
Feng "Grab a coffee and just sketch" Zhu
This is how you photobash.
No one is going to read this, but the secret is just darkening photos and adding a lighten layer to do lights and rim light.
Not to be funny but if those are not showable to client then what is?
jamie pull that up
I agree with your theory about the construction of pyramids by aliens
Español please
Are you fan of Indiana Jones?
*wave*
His crappy sketch is my final one, maybe even worse.
30:13 - This is your brain on paper. Any questions?
