Great chat. Peter de Sève is a good example of an Illustrator that crossed over to "soft" design. He does items like New Yorker covers, but also character design for the Ice Age movies. Thanks for your videos. They've really smoothed my switch to digital from traditional mediums.
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~~
Thanks for all the uploads. The information you post here is really helpful for all professions in the design field!
I appreciate your videos, and your insight into the business so much. You pack so much information into them, that I can watch and learn something new each time. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
New Episode! You can download a higher res & finished version of this painting from Feng's blog. (fengzhudesign dot blogpot dot com).
i was going through withdrawal. thanks a ton for the advice feng. that painting is incredible!
This video is full of informative stuff. There were more than 5 questions, which you answered, that I had no idea or wasn't sure about. Thank you very much.
Glad you're back Feng and good luck with the move
About DPI. Unless you are printing, it doesn't make a difference in digital production. A DPI of 1 or 1000 will not alter your image one bit. The important factor is with the PPI. Like BartzConcept said, anything between 3000-5000 is a good starting point. I usually end up in the 10,000 range (wide). DPI always at 1. If you do need to print, that res is good enough as well. DPI is pretty useless these days...for what we do.
@pbryant23 The DPI setting only applies when you set your canvas size to inches or centimeters. A higher DPI then puts more pixel in each aquare inch or centimeter. This setting is ignored if you use pixels as the size.
Awesome work Feng. I will try to watch all of your videos. They are very inspiring. Respect,
guy from Croatia.
Thanks for doing these videos. I feel honored you share your knowledge with us on youtube. I love your designs.
@TheTonyEnriquez
The best way to keep jobs coming is by building up great working relationships with huge clients such as Microsoft, EA, Activision, etc. Once these studios like you, they'll stick with you for years (why risk hiring new people when they found a dependable one right?). Meeting deadlines and giving clients cool ideas is the best way to build that relationship.
There are downtimes as well - usually before E3. I love downtimes, gives me the chance to travel and relax.
Wow...so many usefull stuff...made me realize (again) i dont want to be illustrator...i want to be concept artist.
This video helped me very much. Thank you for posting this video.
This is an awesome episode and so is the painting in the bg
thank you very much i cant stress enough how much you inspired and motivated me to pursue art, thank you
The thing you said about arbooks and getting depresed really helps alot ,dont think ill be getting that feeling again xD thank you :)
@FZDSCHOOL YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK FENG!!!!!!
Thank you
Thank you so much for that comment about not doing traditional.
I don`t think there`s anything wrong with people who want to do digital, but I get a bit annoyed at all the talk about you not being a "real" artist if you don`t do traditional, as fi there`s something magical about medium that makes it of a higher value than digital media.
@FZDSCHOOL your absolutely amazing
Great episode, lots of interesting information. Thank you Feng!
@inSpeKKter texture wash, its covered in the bug video.
Hey Feng, Thanks for your yet again a valuable lesson! I was hoping you can do some interior design for game and films industry. You have covered plenty of characters and outdoor environment in the past. Some interior set design would be awesome!
had a really long day at school.. lots of drawing done.. really tired.
came home, OMG NEW VIDEO
*grabs tablet from backpack and goes to work again*
you can't see DPI anywhere if you want to make a new file? if you set it on 1 or 1000 it's just the same but the size of your file usually depends on it alot. So if you don't really need to print your work, you really don't have to worry about the dpi settings and can even use 1 there.. some people set it on 72 or 300 even but 1 is already good enough apparently xD
Guys dpi isnt the same as ppi (pixels per inch) like he says if you got a 3000-5000 pixel wide image and use a reasonable PPI(!) your image will look decent printed. Dpi doesnt do anything....
thank you Feng!!!!
Thanks for advice. Great video
@Alkaliho ok i understand. i guess im a little old school because i mainly use inches when setting my document size. thx for the reply.
@Fengdesigns I'm not having a go or anything, I was just being inquisitive. I study Games Art at University in the UK, where we learn everything from 2D concepting to 3D modelling, animating and Sculpting in programs like Maya, Zbrush and Mudbox. That works out around £10,000 for 3 years. I was just curious as to why this particular course is expensive, in such a competitive market with fewer and fewer jobs available. I think your concepts are fantastic and I appreciate all the vids by the way.
you know, i was looking at your course and I saw the price and thought "woah screw that" but after a while i realised something....can you imagine how much it would boost your chances of landing a job knowing you studied under a guy who worked on star wars, is a professional concept artist and has his own school and that's only scratching the surface of what he has accomplished. also the techniques and education you'd pick up will stick with you for life, its something to consider.
Also, a standard 4 year Art education (at least in Canada) is something like 40k here and they don't necessarily focus students heavily on fundamentals either (some might).
You get the work that you put into though so even Feng's school is not a magic bullet
GenkiKai true, with most things its a case of you get what you put in i suppose.
seriously 40k in canada? I live in the UK and It only cost me £300 to do 3 courses...wtf?!?!
Hey Feng, art has always been a getwaway for me, forget about stress etc and just draw whatever, if I go into the industrial design industry, will i lose" that feeling " in a way. The worst thing for me would be looking at a blank slate and feeling sick.. I don't want that to happen. I'm starting architecture next year at uni but i've heard that it can suck the creativity out of you :O how do you keep yourself motivated?
I love the answer to the PC vs. Mac question: "If you're going for image, get a Mac"
Why don't people realize this? Macs aren't expensive because they're "better", they're expensive because they're Macs. It's a preference thing, not a performance thing.
thanks sooo much. your videos really help a lot of people :) thanks so so much!!!! I am so happy that i
really happy to see this.....made my day.
Informational and Inspirational...Thank you so much!
@LEDCircus As far as i know there arent any universities in the UK that teach figure construction, perspective, gesture and values. In other words how to draw using the traditional acedemic system.
Thank you for the tidal wave of amazing advice!
Hello Feng, love your work. whats the oldest concept designer you have ever worked with? Is it a career that lasts long? Do you think younger people are better suited to this kind of thing? Do you think your style changes over time? so many questions. Your landscapes are really cool, im sure theres a market for them on the art scene. .... have you been drawing and painting since a young age?
Thankyou!!!
Do you always begin with such desaturated colours to allow you more freedom to pick your colours as you progress?
THNKS SO MATCH
@antihak No, The other guy works for Arenanet I think. I think they are both American born Chinese, I guess why the similar accent.
U made me so happy!!!!
You are the Great !!
this day just got awesome!
awesome work man.
thanks sooo much. your videos really help a lot of people :) thanks so so much!!!! I am so happy that i found your channel :D
Hello Mr Feng,
You said a the end of this video "Don't worry about speed" but to grow faster we need to draw a lot of things and put more time as we can on this. For truly beginner like me, don't you think we need to force ourselves to keep a maximum time for drawing like if i have 4 hours a day to draw i choose animals for a day and give me 1 hour ou 30 min to draw with maximum details or focus to one subject and do it more precise i can and improve day after day? What do you think about this?
very awsome
Thank you :)
Thanks alot..help me alot
he just opened my eyes on a particular part at the end, were he says don't buy other artists artwork or art of something as it will demoralize you, he was right i was demoralized for abit until now.
does anyone know what brush he uses when he paints in glowing areas, i know you can do it by using the colour dodge, Feng just picked a brush from his palet and painted in glow affect
PLEASE TELL ME! thank you
feng zhu you rock ! always look forward to your new FZD design cinema - REQUEST - Could you present a design cinema of the classic scifi landing shot - on a (Macross) zentradi type alien planet, Featuring a bulky and heavy metal ship - Kris Kuksi inspired ship. he he - now that would rock !!
@pbryant23 I have exactly the same question about DPI, Feng, if you read this, please clarify. I can't really get it how 1 dot per inch isn't going to get you aby pixelation when you print it out. Thanks for all your help btw.
thankyou again!!!! we have been waiting! ty!!!!
Thanks for another anticipated vid :) I have a question:
Could you discuss the split between painting/drawing studies as a method to improve Vs trying to create finished pieces as a more of a method to establish a cool portfolio.
This issue comes up a lot in the livestreams.
Thanks!
They're almost the same really, Mac's are just much more stylish and compact. Not to mention it has the apple sign on it, and that itself usually costs you about $150.
Here's a question. Can you make a comfortable living with this, meaning is the industry as polar as either being in the top crew, making half a mil a year for the mega companies, or that you're collecting cans for recycling to supplement your income in order to feed yourself.. is there a middle road? I would love to do this stuff for a steady 30k/year without becoming a "big name" with all that crap that comes with it.
It's one of the Photoshop preset brushes.
cool a new video,...i wait so many days :)
Welcome back!
have you used painter 12, it seems to run a lot more stable i think the bugs have been ironed out a bit. i use it on a mac and it seems far more stable than the last release
The tablets you mention seem to be on the expensive spectrum, could you please recommend any others that are good enough for an average cost?
Hi, I'd like to know what the difference is between a Concept designer and an industrial designer? :)
I have been curious about this for a very long time, and I don't recall you ever clarifying the answer to it (maybe it's in a video of yours I haven't seen yet). I am confused about what happens when you make the image grayscale to check the values.
It looks like you add a new layer with black and set it to saturation, but then you paint on it in the black and white stage, and somehow the changes you painted translate back to the colored version of the painting. How does this happen?
Thanks
Hey Feng when you get the time could you clarify your answer to the "what dpi do you work at?" Your answer was "1 dpi" and my response was WHAT?! When creating a new image the dialog box asks for width,height, and resolution. Everything I do is done at 300 dpi and when I save out to post on my site I reduce the resolution to a 72 dpi jpeg. Forgive my ignorance but, how can you do anything at 1 dpi? Thanks for all the great videos btw.
Hello Feng Zhu, you mentioned people are good at one or a couple things. characters, environments, vehicles, etc. i recently started art school, and i wanted to be good at characters and enrivonments (buildings, landscapes etc), designing in 3d and digital paintings to get my ideas across as well as 3d modeling for games. would it be wise to focus on one thing only since i am a beginner, and then move on? or would practicing characters and environments at the same time be beneficial?
thank you so much for you're vids
Hi, I know that you do not recommend online education for this industry, but as someone who cannot attend college in person (due to location) I was wondering what your thoughts were on Computer Graphics Master Academy?
LOL everyone asks about the tablet, I totally remember the tools questions from before. It's about skills not tools
I been looking for a new hobby, want to take up drawing, Don't want to make a career, just something to do on my spare time. I just turn 30 in july is this to old to take up drawing? When drawing i'am like a new born trying to walk. If i was to get two books which ones would you recommend?
Also, for this did you only use the brush tool, if so then how did you get some of the blurry parts on the piece?
Thank you sensei Feng!!!
Your da boss!!! 'my staff will collect all the stuff" :D thx man
you are my Idol. and you're the 1st
5000USD per month? What does GDP per capita have to do with cost of living?
jhosioja I'm pretty sure (don't take my word for it) you can earn up to a 70K salary but still improve on that if you're good.
yeah ^^ new video
cool! :D we miss your videos.
hey i got a question i hear sometimes you negotiate contracts when u get hired and that when they get to this point ur got the upper hand is this true/what can you say bout the hiring process in regards to negotiating and stuff like that
Great Vids Feng
Have a question on your methods for you, maybe a vid could be useful too?
HOw do you highten up your pics resolution, every time i do it it just makes everything look pixely/blurry
Thanks
@m1k3911 I'd fix yourself a Wacom tablet and Photoshop in the first place. Photoshop really helps you experiment with color and values. As Feng Zu says, try to draw things from real life. Always drawing things from your mind will block your creativity at some point. To do this you just need pictures from google and you try to redraw those pictures from scratch :)
had the same issue with them in my art classes too. I have even had issues with my ipods too lol.apple products are just for name and look other than that they suck
I love these videos Feng, but why is your course like £20,000 + ?? That's really, really, REALLY expensive...
hey feng, where is the new school going to be located?
'Mac...they look cooler' sheeesh
Hi Feng. I'm stuck in a bit of a rut. I am 17 and hoping to become a concept artist. I have always wondered where I should be in terms of my visual understanding of things like anatomy, lighting, color composition, etc. at my age. I plan on getting official education in game art/concept art as soon as I'm out of high school. I just don't know where I'm at compared to others my age.How much should I know before getting professional training?
hopefully I am not late for a response. I am not an artist but for the last year or 2 I really got into art. My research towards art schools shows that it is often not very helpful, especially if you are the person who needs to be pushed to do something. Art is a difficult skills and requires mileage. If you want to be that guy from your imagination then you need to practice. The more is better. Feng talks about it in another video (independent learning or something along those lines). I have a friend who is learning in a local uni on faculty of arts (its pretty well respected in Canada but not the best). According to him not everything what they learn is really helpful in the field (thats why it would be a great idea to check out reviews of programs before going into it).
Another problem is finances. If you are ok with spending quite a bit of money then its ok, just try to avoid loans. Just imagine having a 90k loan and have a 30k annual income. It might not happen to you (I sincerely hope that it will not happen to anyone), but having to pay a large chunk of your income each month to cover the loan can be very difficult. Before committing to a program try to understand if it is worth the money or not.
Skills:
If you can learn fundamentals by yourself learn as much as you can, then you will be able to build on your current skill set once you are in school. Knowing too much never hurt anyone (unless you are me in grade 3 when I used multiplication instead of addition and made my teacher mad as we were not supposed to know that stuff yet).
Hope this helps.
So then you studied Industrial design to learn what you are doing today?
ONE? isn't it like 300 standard?
:3
I am going to study at FZD school :D
WOHOO!
@LEDCircus If you can give me a few million dollars every year to cover the rent, utilities, staff salaries, equipment upgrades, then we'll lower the tuition to only 10$.
All jokes aside, it takes a lot of money to run a private school. Industries such as ours don't have 1000+ students every term. Even big schools such as Art Center (where I studied) only have 20 or so students per term - and their tuition is something like $20,000 a single term! We all have bills to pay.
Yay!!!!!
first vid & SUB here yo, hum... the box guy sent me... Box Office Artist guy u no active but ur work is something outta this world or maybe it' the color...
well guess what you should check out more of this guy since he is a god among the industry for a reason
What brush settings did you use at 0:59?
I have a question that no one else seems to be asking. How do you avoid work related injuries? I got tennis elbow from working to much. All I want to to is work all day tbh but I just cant : / //Adam
Never had any problem w/performance on PC. I can't tell you the number of times a Mac froze on me in school. Fuck that.
