To all of you wondering Kingston and Tzu Wei pretty much carried the school when I was there. I saw Feng maybe like 3 times during the year and he did pep talk mostly. Good luck to you with the new school!
Hey since you've been down here, i was wondering is there a way to take the class without having to travel to Singapour ? Like a paying a full year or something ? Thanks for your answer and please pardon me for my english ( i'm french )
@@shadethedon8351 I am fairly certain that you can't do that. Well, at least you couldn't back at FZD. To be fair I can't imagine handling that amount of workload from home, you kinda have to be energized by the collective suffering.
@@vp42art14 I’m only interested by their perspective plan, but yeah i kinda undestand what you mean. I guess l’ll have to go with Scott Robertson book then. Thanks for your answer man
be thankful. Artcenter is even worse now. All the good teachers got "me-too'ed" during 2019/2020 school year, and many of the best teachers quit in protest.
I tried to follow FZD fundamentals for quite some time and hunted down all available info and created my own curriculum. Now you give away all the info for free…..thankful for myself and anyone who wants to learn the basics. Still the best program (with the biggest viability). Thanks. Btw I worked with Joao de Silva and Peter Sutherlans who studied together at FZD They both shared a lot of info, because they knew without the work put in, their info would be worthless. No way to catch up with them…too many FZD drawing nights… All the best for your adventure. The games industry needs schools like yours ;)
Whoohoo! Kingston, Tze Wei and Eduardo. My legendary lecturers, and amazing people and artists. The students will definitely learn a ton of stuff from you guys! All the best!!!
Honestly. I feel like Feng Zhu and his school has been teaching outdated curriculum for over 5 years now. The industry of concept art has transitioned from hiring low/mid level Concept artists, to only wanting "Senior concept artists" for full-time AAA positions. What does this mean? by senior they don't really mean "senior experience", but more like extreme proficiency and knowledge in 3D software and full-on 3D rendering skill sets. The expectations on the "level of finish" they want from concept artists if you want to get hired full time, drawing and painting will not cut it anymore. You're either on the 3D train that Jama Jurabaev started, or you're gonna be stuck working for slave-level outsourcing jobs.
Right, especially when he ripped off the entire means of teaching and approach from Arts Center, which he graduated from under the mentoring of Scott Robertson, which is why FZD was heavily influenced by industrial design. With only difference the program stayed unchanged for 8 years. No wonder it died out
I keep hearing different things from many artist though. For example Andy Walsh who has a TH-cam channel says he lost a lot of clients because he wasn't good at 2d skills like painting and drawing. He uses mainly 3d for his concepts.
Thank you for the insight! I wish I could have known about this structure when I started my art jorney, I have messed up my learning in so many ways it's a wonder that I am still trying to become a concept artist or alternatively an illustrator. I wonder though, do most FZD students have this much experience when they enter? Because clearly Nia doesn't seem like she was a total beginner at the beginning. :o
Does anybody know how the students were able to do those exploded views of devices like the Nintendo Switch? Like, how did they find what parts exist inside and where/how they fit in, in order to then be able to draw an exploded view?
Burn out is a legitimate medical diagnosis, maybe Kingston needs to do some research on the topic (concept artists should be good at research, right?). Having the mentality that people who suffer burnout are just lazy or "just want an easy life" is very ignorant and toxic. I would not want someone with that kind of attitude as a teacher.
Would you happen to have any reference/material to point to for "drawing your handwriting"? I actually just recently was trying to figure out a way to do this, because my handwriting is just.. not great. Would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction!
how much money do i have to safe to survive in singapore for 9 month? and how much does a course in this length cost? i got a wacom and good laptop...i want it really bad now
its like kingston has a sentence but i need a min to understand oh it was kinda mean ....or its followd by sneeky giggle of nia to make me understand quicker that it was meant mean xD...i wonder do u also give real lessons like face to face...and if u both can be mean there too...or is it the distance which let u guys grow some extra mean xxl testicles xD but enuff jokes... i find this video helpful because the exercises in the begininng like 30 boxes with one vanishin point and the one with only lines drawing...really good ...often its a lot theory and inviting for procastination...but this one was inviting for me to see listen but also have some exercise which i like to do ...which i can do every day and compare if my skills getting better... please make more homework reviews
I wish you didn't speak over your instructor when he's giving critique. I feel like the lessons he was trying to instill in you were inside jokes that I'm not in on. I definitely appreciate the format to your vid though.
had to mute the video, r u guys drunk? is this stand up comedy? whats so funny? im sure the content is good, it looks legit, but i can't stand the laughing and giggling
you have the freedom to be angry, we respect that. I guess the reason we laugh was because we have fun looking back on our old works as an artist. When we put lots of effort into art and we improved, We will look back at our old artworks and laugh together with our artist friends and joke about that, I m sorry if that bothers you but guess we will keep doing that in the future., talking for 40 mins with a poker face is hard. :) cheers
@@conceptual_ink no one is angry here, but if you are stating that u will in fact continue to review ur work and laugh about it u are in fact being childish and also disrespectful.. talking for 40 minutes with a poker face is what adults do, giggling every 10 seconds is very childish actually and immature
@@roanaya2598 Do you talk to your friends with a poker face for 40 mins? I believe they are friends talking, just that the topic is about revisiting old works.
This is a 40 minutes FZD Student Homework review video, Watch it till the end, there will be a BIG and surprise Announcement! Don't miss that!!!

I feel like it's a really good thing to laugh at your mistakes in art, instead of beating yourself up. Loved seeing that in this video!
Absolutely!
Although if you were serious and they start laughing, you'll as though they're laughing at you.

I’m doing the same thing! Are you willing to share the curriculum you came up with?
Thank you so much for the Video! This helping me as a guide to study by me self!

Man my heart almost started racing seeing this stuff, omg 😂 Great video really 🤝
Glad you enjoyed
YERDEN!!

Cool to see how much you developed, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Very insightful video thank you for making these :) More artists should know about this youtube channel

wow looks like i have a lot to learn still, thank you guys for sharing this! it makes me wanna improve my art
Good luck on your new journey of teaching King! Many students will be lucky to afford your precious mentality
Does anybody know how the students were able to do those exploded views of devices like the Nintendo Switch? Like, how did they find what parts exist inside and where/how they fit in, in order to then be able to draw an exploded view?
Need 'Tzu Wei roasts your art' and 'Kingston spends more time' video series
Burn out is a legitimate medical diagnosis, maybe Kingston needs to do some research on the topic (concept artists should be good at research, right?). Having the mentality that people who suffer burnout are just lazy or "just want an easy life" is very ignorant and toxic. I would not want someone with that kind of attitude as a teacher.
Hello both! I love your content, thanks for sharing. Hey any info on the plotting of perspective ellipses with the FZD method? Thanks!
I have a question how come when I try to go to the concept program for mages the page is not to be found? Is there any problem on the website?
i m re designing their website , you can use this link mages.edu.sg/program/art/concept-art/
@@conceptual_ink thx!
All the work they are roasting looks professional to me 😅
Awsome video, thanks.
Would you happen to have any reference/material to point to for "drawing your handwriting"? I actually just recently was trying to figure out a way to do this, because my handwriting is just.. not great. Would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction!
uh graffiti comes to mind (tagging)
how much money do i have to safe to survive in singapore for 9 month? and how much does a course in this length cost? i got a wacom and good laptop...i want it really bad now
sorry i just found the answers on your page
Will feng be involved in any way with this?
Nothing is impossible! Give us some time to make thing happen!
Make it impossible lol! @@conceptual_ink

i like u guys ...good with the FZD videos for learning...but even you pretty sweedy faces you sound mean sometimes
Nia or Kingston?? Nia sure the mean one, Kingston is the kindest one always hahaha
its like kingston has a sentence but i need a min to understand oh it was kinda mean ....or its followd by sneeky giggle of nia to make me understand quicker that it was meant mean xD...i wonder do u also give real lessons like face to face...and if u both can be mean there too...or is it the distance which let u guys grow some extra mean xxl testicles xD but enuff jokes... i find this video helpful because the exercises in the begininng like 30 boxes with one vanishin point and the one with only lines drawing...really good ...often its a lot theory and inviting for procastination...but this one was inviting for me to see listen but also have some exercise which i like to do ...which i can do every day and compare if my skills getting better... please make more homework reviews
if you would be not too far i would definatly quit my fulltime job or reduce it to 50percent so i cancome to your lessons and pay for it
@@conceptual_inkLOL what did I ever do to u :p
Kingston is the best. 90% of what I learned in FZD is from Kingston.
Bad news, for the ones looking for free education.
We will still sharing what we know in this channel don’t worry
