FZ always apologizes for the long wait between episodes, but he's also running a school and business while making work of his own. What a legend.
And then we wait. Again :D
@@riteasrainwe will wait until our skin falls off. I am ok with that.
Although I didn't manage to achieve a job related to concept art, I still fondly and lovingly recall when I used to watch the videos 10 years ago. They were always a source of motivation for me, and the values they conveyed are applicable to all aspects of life. I will always remember Feng Zhu as one of the mentors who have contributed to making me who I am today.
Seeing the latest comments, I would love for him to upload one last video to bring an end to this beautiful journey. Thank you for everything you've done.
With love from Spain.
This made me tear up a bit. The pandemic made me quit school and decided to learn art more seriously. He's one of my go to teacher, almost like an art parent. Everytime a new vid comes out I'm very glad because I know it will be high quality learning. Now almost three years has passed, and I fondly recall those times when I'm passionately learning art with youtube teachers like Trent Kaniuga, Adam Duff, Moderndayjames, Feng Zhu, etc. But things has changed a lot ever since. Still, I'm very grateful to them.
Really hope that someday he will continues these videos.
He recently posted some amazing news on his instagram!
he posted today.....
Feng, you are missed. Don't know what's been happening with you, but this channel is an inspiration. Please come back to the helm and inspire more people to follow the dream, something computers and AI can't truely do.
I wanna hear his opinion on ai art, like will concept art even be as much of a thing with drawing or is it going to be mostly ai in a few years, that just seems lame.
@@milkjunk concept art is already a mixed media with all the photobashing and whatnot, I don't see how AI doesn't fit into the mix
@@antares3030 The thinking and designing process involved in concept art is precisely what AI cannot do
Fzd school will be closing down soon some people say feng saw the ai outbreak heavily decline the amount of students and that was a critical blow after a pandemic and the recession plus steep korean laws basically caused him to decide to close down. This industry was already dead and with stable diffusion its been absolutely destroyed. Even top studios are letting entire art departments go. I guess feng is just gonna pocket all the money he can get and just work as one of the few concept artists allowed to work
@@jinxxpwnage That's quite interesting, do you have any sources? I'd love to work as a concept designer and it's a bit depressing :') ...
This channel is way too good for UA-cam, thank you for all the videos and hard work you've put into them, Feng.
Thank you so much for making all of this content free and available to students worldwide. Attending a design school is not an option for me, so I am eternally grateful for the hard work you and your team have put into this channel. I have learned so much from these videos alone and I will share them with fellow aspiring artists every chance I get. Thank you again!
I miss a lot these videos (but I'm also rewatching them and learning a lot)
Hey FZ! Have been watching your vids for about 10 years now. You've made a big difference in the trajectory of my career and professional life, and I probably wouldn't be where I am today without you. Thank you so much for continuing to think about us and your channel! ^^

The advice, and motivation you have given me since 2012-to now from books to study schedule and approach. Has completely changed my life and approach to what’s possible in an artist life. I would have never made it to this stage and perspective without your help. I thought I would have to move to Singapore to learn all this , but you were able to show me what I need through this platform so thank you. I don’t care how often you post. There is some much information in a single video it doesn’t matter much.
The content on this channel is so good that it feels illegal to watch it for free. I can not thank you enough for this content. It helps students who can't afford mentorship more than you can imagine!
I am curious on what he will have to say about the crazy progress AI has made in literally just the two years between this video and now.
He always said "If there was a make art button we would be teaching that" well, there kinda is now. Obviously it can't replace an artist, not even close in it's current state; but I wonder if they are going to be implementing things with it in their school process, what his thoughts on it are.....will be an interesting that's for sure.
He disappeared when everyone needed him most, like the avatar
I‘ve been waiting for Design Cinema every day. Finally!!! Thank you soooooooooooo much.♥♥♥♥♥
one year without new things, i hope feng is ok, total thanks for all the knowledge you share
HE’S BACK!!!
This is my favourite channel on UA-cam. I'm not even a concept artist, I just love hearing Feng talking about the design process.
Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to do these videos. The gap since 108 gave me time to go back and watch all the back catalog. Every episode is fascinating.
love coming back to your vids for a refresher every now and then. we miss u feng!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ian's artwork. Not only is it incredibly interesting to look at and highly detailed, the sense of humour is spot on! It just feels exactly like artwork I used to look at in books as a kid. Bravo Ian!
Today's started off good, thank you
Great to have you back Feng! You're an inspiration to so many of us here and your videos are always more than appreciated. Cheers sir 👍
That opening design breakdown diagram is exactly what brought me to this channel from your Twitter account. That simple concept showing how to layer the elemnts of an image to make it seem real and living has changed the entire way that I look at image composition.
I miss the times that passed a decade ago. Feng Zhu was so popular among us art students in the town I live. I couldnt even handle the wacom pen and I was full of enthusiasm. Nowadays its just get paid, get paid, draw some fantasy bullshit, get paid. Fuck that life, its lonely.
Recently I broke my old wacom pen and decided to buy a new tablet. Everyone who has wacom knows the distinct wacom brand new smell. That smell brought me back 10 years ago while I was unpackaging. It brought me back to the day I had my first one delivered. Made me cry.
And by the way, I hate that fucking illustrator job. Thank god I didnt attempt to become a concept artist. These jobs are a lonely hell.
sorry to hear you feel that way bro! hope things get better
@@DimiArt thanks for saying that. Its very easy to neglect your life with these kind of jobs.
@@krasenmaximov8110 I'm a firefighter, but i also love doing art and animation (as you can tell from my channel) i always wondered if i should've pursued concept art or illustration as a full time job but now you're making me feel like i made the right choice to just do it as a hobby.
@@DimiArt My advice is to take the chance. Want it bad enough to do it. If you dont get it it breaks your heart. You will still get valuable information about yourself. Pick next. Uncertainty is part of life. Listen only yourself. Obviously these jobs worked out for many many people, it could be you,too.
I made a mistake by not being disciplined over 10 years ago and it took me until now to finally learn art. It's so insane that AI is here to ruin everything. I relate you unpackaging your first wacom tablet. I got my first one when I turned 20 and I regret not having mastered it there. The golden age of digital art was truly 10+ years ago and I envy those that had passion for it back then. It must have been cool to spend a day on a piece to have people respond to it. Now you spend 12+ hours on a piece just for the "wow" factor to have been ruined by AI. I have no choice but to work with AI and become a project creator, which was always the goal, but it feels more depressing now.
I love and appreciate your work ever since my high-school days!
Thank you my man!
Thank you very much it was very useful. I always feel very good when you emphasize on having good reference and not forcing ourselves to design everything. That really decreases the unnecessary pressure I put on myself.
Thank you so much for sharing all these high quality lessons. I really really appreciate you Feng 🙏🏽
TODAY IS A GOOOOOD DAY! Glad to see you upload again sir!
Always a good day when there is a new Design Cinema video is posted. :-)
A new design cinema???? Let’s gooo
Love this video Feng. Super informative, even for someone working in Film and TV. Always so much room for growth as a professional and your videos keep inspiring me. Thanks
I asked Chat GPT for some resources to learn concept art, and it recommended your channel!
My favorite series and I'm not even an artist nor do I draw.
Crazy Its been 10 years since I started watching your videos
All These videos helps a lot! Hope you come back soon
Same man I am eagerly waiting for another lecture
is design cinema dead? i used to live for these videos. feng must be incredibly busy and i wish him all the best. theres so much great content here already.
Thank you so much for sharing these, they have remotivated my digital art learning.
Let's go! Thank you so much for uploading
I want to say that was the best 1 hr video I learn more design then I was at Full Sail University. You really motivated me to push my design. One day I would to show what I am working on. Thank you again, I wis they had an online courses.
can't wait for the next video to drop. love these
its been 1 year since the last video dame wish there was some new ones
Thank you for keep giving your time making video about art knowledge like this, this is really helpful
thank you so much for this. The fact that i can watch and learn from this for free
Still waiting Feng ! Hope you’ll be back. Love your channel
Thank you! That was exactly what I needed today!
OMG I’m an animation graduate working on my portfolio and I’ve been working on my cutouts for 2 months and really struggling, thank you so much for sharing this info!!
Thank you for all your hard work teaching design and art with these free videos. It helps a lot and it’s actually more than enough to be a good concept artist. People just need to practice what you teach and the fundamentals of art and design. I appreciate what you’ve done, more life and more strength to you Feng.
insanely useful, cannot thank you guys enough
Thank you so much ive been waiting for thisss
Nice. A new ep. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks Feng! I was one of that comments asking for this. Thank you so much for ear us
Omg YES finally!! Gonna get me a cup of tea and get my pen out even though it's in the middle of the night!!
Thank you for your hard work!
Q&A - I would love to know how you balance outside of work activities like family commitments, eating, sleeping, socialising, gaming, other hobbies (ones on the ground :)) exercise, strength training, cooking. How do you fit in enough hours into the day?
Feng releases videos slowly but these will be helping people for as long as the internet exists, so in the scheme of things it doesn't matter at all.
If you find the time Twitch is a great place to stream art, there is a huge amount of aspiring artists that watch pros like yourself on twitch. You are already doing most everything in one to three takes so its a solid idea. Timezones shouldnt be much of an issue since people can always rewatch it on youtube as well after the vod has been prettied up a bit through editing.
OMG FINALLY. THANK YOU SO MUCH Feng
Very instructive and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
The return of the king
yessss haven't even looked at episode title but so hyped

Golden channel
YEEEEAAH!! FENG ZHUUUUU!!
A new upload!!! Oh yeah!
Thanks 😊for the Video I just love 💘 it's amazing 👏
55:19 ayy, i recognize that photo. Seriously tho, this is great, I can't wait to try practicing with this method. Great content and well explained.
I really wish we had the ability to bookmark segments of the video without having to write out the timestamps on the comments. There's just so much content here that I wanna get back to hearing.
Are you going make more please.
awesome! thanks
Feng Zhu is just amazing i am watching him since i was a kid.
excellent stuff
Yeeepeeeeeee u r back
This is incredible. Love it. Is Max still used in films?
Chicken ! I always thought people were just drawing from insane amount of training, 100% muscle memory, that way of breaking down the process, having layers of logical thinking, it's mind opening, it's not random details, I like that. Really breaking down the process in everything we do in life to make things more simpler is the key :)
So from what I saw there is " no design" design, which is placing things in an environment and "design" where you do weird shapes on a single props for example, it's two different things? Is that the Form over function and vice versa? One is keeping the original form and design is to place them in your own world and the other is to change the property of the item and the design challenge is then to keep the function readable while making something new? Thinking about the whole scene vs thinking about the tiny details?
I'll definitely try that 8 steps to break down what I do next, thanks !
Thank you!!!!
It is quite literally my dream to go to this school. I'm going to apply as soon as I get a new passport. I hope I'm good enough.
Help I need another Design Cinema :) There is plenty of content I just like listening while I work helps me focus and I always learn something new.
