    Stories about how you changed lifes with your videos? Thanks to you I not only learned all I know on digital painting, I also found so many amazing other teachers that showed me so many fascinating things. I'm just 20 years old now but thanks to people like you or Scott Robertson I've developed alot. I'm /undercurrent on DrawCrowd.

    i love how he was talking about when you think about putting your stuff on facebook or having to send your work to your client, show off to your friends or other concept artist to checkout your work, I lived through that fear since I was little.Still do.It stressed me out and I even beaten myself up for it. Ty for encouraging us

  • @olivethomas6177
    @olivethomas6177 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really like the philosophy behind these paintings, especially comparing it to 'jazz'. This really helped me ignore those fears and that linguring critical voice in the back of my head. Thank you for making and sharing this!

    I spent the whole Sunday learning with your videos, I really like the way you explain and the stories, philosophical stuff. I gotta sleep now. Thanks for sharing knowledge.

    Best Advice on Artist's creative Freeze (14:40)(something like a creative block but different).
    Yeah! U helped me again.
    I have been suffering from this hideous creative disease for years. and I never knew it could be solved. Feng... I only watch your videos (relatively speaking) for the words of inspiration and truth that u share so easily. like a GURU or SUFI saint. people don't realize that how Amazing your Insight is on life and creativity. (remember how you differentiated the sides of an ISLAND!)
    God has truly blessed us in form of FENG ZHU!!!

    Thank you so much Feng for all of these videos, I find myself revisiting these every few years I find myself learning something new each time

    My realm for that photo library.
    I´ve alwyas thought that if u walked by Leonardo today without knowing it, it would be difficult to compare his talent with the real Leonardo, because we dont think geniuses that big are born nowadays. However I think is pretty clear we have one here. That warmth, man he's really inspiring. Keep it up!

  • @irlKimiko
    @irlKimiko 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for your guidance and for taking the time to make these LD videos. I'm definitely more of a visual learner, and this has helped TONS. This is the first video I've seen from you, and will definitely be looking at more!

  • @marieowens5884
    @marieowens5884 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is my favorite tutorial... so colorful and fun! Reminds me of one of Picasso's most famous quotes: “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child"

  • @TheLeFair
    @TheLeFair 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Everything this page uploads inspires me so much. I just wish there were some lessons on how they actually used photoshop. I can never see to find anything they are doing as accessible.

  • @p5rov
    @p5rov 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for this episode mr. Zhu , very refreshing and inspirational to hear you talk about the creative process and changing it up, to keeping it fresh after an established "safe zone", that everyone falls a victim to eventually.

  • @xavorTM
    @xavorTM 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    oh god, this is a gem in the internet. You are awesome!!! I love drawing as my hobby, i believe if i spend 1 year on real learning i can become pretty good, but in my main area of work, what you say apply in 100% of the things. I do web design, where your tips are so real and come in such help that i cant say how gratefull i am !!! THANK YOU!

  • @artsbyjames
    @artsbyjames 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I say this time and time again, but thank you Feng, concept art is a scary subject for me, I have many doubts about ever getting anywhere with it. I haven't taken any steps to try it yet, but hopefully in the near future I will. You're videos really are great and they reassure a lot of people including myself, you're a brilliant teacher.

  • @davehollandart
    @davehollandart 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm really happy with these Let's Draw series videos. I'm also a big fan of the commentary. I really feel like I'm speaking with a peer that thinks like I do. Thank you for making such robust videos with great quality and making them FREE. You do art a serious justice.

  • @cnl1213
    @cnl1213 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just had to pause the video to say that I thought that part (at around 16:00) Feng Zhu said about freeing your mind from the stress of the result, and expectations and treating everything as a test and experimentation, putting mind into a completely relaxed state. That is golden advice. Alright, now back to the video.

  • @carrototop15
    @carrototop15 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for sharing that site! There's much inspiration to be found there! And thankyou for another top quality video. These always encourage me to learn to draw/paint better.

  • @Jalapenostark
    @Jalapenostark 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    the way you use motion blur at the beginning is genius as base! thanks for all your tips!

  • @MrMadalien
    @MrMadalien 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Feng, thank you so much for your videos! Every time I watch them, I feel as if my work just immediately improves (I always start painting as soon as the video is over) because of what I learned. I've been subscribed to you since circa episode 40 (I have watched all of them, several times though) and you are probably one of the main reasons I aspire to be a concept artist. Never stop with this channel, you are working miracles. :D

  • @LMarsR
    @LMarsR 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    More character designs! I'm still a beginner, focusing mostly on figures, etc. and would love to see some of the character-centric stuff you used to do more. I like watching this, but for myself and probably some other viewers, it's totally foreign to what I can do at my level. Just my vote on what we'd like to see next. Glad you're back.

  • @pepsidragon1
    @pepsidragon1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    all these videos are so useful, it has been a huge help for me when i started drawing and there still relly cool to watch.

  • @nomadicstray1

    Chrono Cross is a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger. It takes place 16 years after the end of Chrono Trigger on some island country south east of the mainland in Chrono Trigger. The sad thing is while Chrono Trigger has a happy ending, in Chrono Cross you find out that it was actually quite a tragic turn of events right after the ending.

  • @karamveersingh3690
    @karamveersingh3690 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the support from FZD, I was glad you helped me out :). I do have a few questions to ask every 3-4 days or weekly, so I hope you can guide me or eliminate the the misunderstandings I have about some design elements. I want to ask - is it necessary to do both character and environment art together or separate them? First do character design and then Environment. Also, how much depth should I concentrate in sketching, should I do sketching only, or improve it to drawing standards, like drawing realistically. I am studying game design, and wish to work as an environment 2d-3d artist and later proceed to concept work :)

    I had NO IDEA that drawcrow was your site... found it few months ago, and wow the site is by far my go to whenever I need inspiration. Great site, great idea you had there, and can't believe still that is totally FREE! and btw, i'm from Argentina, and the site works like a charm, 0 lag, all images loads instantly almost, so yeah even with low connection works awesome!
    I seriously can't thank you enough for make that site possible!

  • @dchiqui87
    @dchiqui87 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Feng,
    I have a suggestion that might help you out. You should make an FAQ video and have a link to it. At the beginning of every video you should let people know about it and that way you don't have to answering questions about what size brush you use, what the canvas size you use is, etc. Anyway its just a thought, keep up your incredible work!

  • @ボイイイジーキュー
    @ボイイイジーキュー 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The 4th picture had something going on for it, sort of like a collage of environments, rather than just a window into one. I think that could be pretty cool and interesting to take further.

  • @thegrokewillgetu
    @thegrokewillgetu 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wanted to see some Quake, but this is WAY better! I love these colors and the design.

  • @MisterGutsy108

    I wish drawcrowd survived. I'm not a big fan of artstation and their model. if it continued, it would provide much welcoming competition :/

  • @zenarion
    @zenarion 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maybe you would want to make something for Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights? Also there's a whole Blood Omen series to take inspiration from.
    Also, it would be cool to see you do character reboots or industrial design reboots of things (spaceships, vehicles etc) from old games, and talk about character design and industrial design.
    Thanks for posting these videos, they are a great inspiration for me.

  • @OdinComposer

    Great video, I'd love to see more colorful paintings from you! As you said, the western industry is quite dominated by these dark designs, it's nice to see things changed up a bit! And I will definitely check out the drawcrowd site.

  • @prestonowens4594
    @prestonowens4594 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the video Mr.Zhu. I always learn so much by watching you draw/paint. I have a question as a student, which I hope either you or someone else can answer: I tend to draw lots of creatures, contraptions and people I see in my daily life as well as some rehashed versions of characters from movies and games that really stand out to me. While I enjoy drawing creatures and such, a lot almost all of my characters come from places that I can see within my mind. Yet, when I try to draw them, they never look like what I am imagining, in fact the never seem to encapsulate what I imagine. Basically my question is why does this happen and how can I become better at landscapes that don't even exist in reality?

    • @kytranart
      @kytranart 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      This is a very broad question that's asked very often. Concept design is like any other study. You have to put in the hours. The answer is that you simply haven't mastered your fundamentals. Be a keen observer and study your fundamentals. When you imagine something you imagine it as a whole but constructing it on a canvas requires you to know the pieces. It's up to you to study the building blocks before you can communicate what is in your imagination. In short, study light, forms, value, color theory, rhythm, anatomy...ect. I think often times people ask this question hoping that the answer will bring on an epiphany but it's just a mater of study and hard work. Good luck !

    • @prestonowens4594
      @prestonowens4594 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your response. I will admit that I have weak fundamentals, especially when it comes to perspective and color theory. I will make sure to improve upon the fundamentals as I need to. Thanks again, I appreciate the answer.

  • @FrogEyeArtistry
    @FrogEyeArtistry 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't seen any clean futuristic yet so suggestion is "KILLZONE" 5 idea. You talked about the idea in episode 71 so would like to see 4 way design of earth city, Helghan (helghast home planet), space fight/scene, and a organic/futuristic scene (mountains, jungle, desert oasis, forests, etc.), up to you my friend. Love the video's!

  • @PeanutThePhantom
    @PeanutThePhantom 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lots of inspiration and nostalgia from this video! Chrono Cross is one of my favorite games. Some suggestions for future Let's Draw videos: Bravely Default, Xenoblade, and Journey. Thanks for the great content!

  • @paulwischnewski3475
    @paulwischnewski3475 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello Feng, I really enjoy your videos and the work you do, since I'm only at the beginning of digital art I find it great to get so much insight into the world of Concept Art. Keep your work up, really loving it! Already joined DrawCrowd! :)

  • @Ironwill_Games
    @Ironwill_Games 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    It has always been a dream of mine to be the main illustrator for a major JRPG just like Akira Toriyama was in Chrono Trigger or Nobuteru Yuki in Chrono Cross. I believe these artist (and some others) were my biggest inspiration on pursuing an art career. Even now, artist like Hyung-Tae Kim in Blade n' Soul are leaving their mark on the next generation of games. That reveals just how much a particular vision or artist can influence a game. I hope you consider another great game from the past - that had a great mix of sci-fi and fantasy - for a future "Let's Draw" ... Xenogears!
    I know they already did a remake of that but even so your vision of the old classic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. :)

  • @torchit2302
    @torchit2302 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    a Starcraft inspired piece would be cool. I don' know, maybe something like "What would I see if I'm standing in a Terran/Zerg/Protoss base?". My 2 cents..

  • @Wundertastisch
    @Wundertastisch 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) would be awesome to see! Also maybe then they finally do a third title in this series! :)

    • @mellamoarts538
      @mellamoarts538 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh hell yes! Dark Cloud 2 is one of my favorite games of all time! Stumbled upon it at Blockbuster (lol), rented it, loved it, bought it, had a heck of a time!

    • @Wundertastisch
      @Wundertastisch 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! Same with me! So many years and it's still one of my favorites! :)

    Chrono Cross, I'm real happy for ya, and I'mma' let you finish, but Chrono Trigger was the best Chrono title of all time. The best Chrono of all time!

    @morelbenoit9444 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Feng, thanks for all your advices and great works :)
    To stay in the same kind of mood, let's draw Secret of Mana or Dragon Quest :)

  • @DalaiFelinto
    @DalaiFelinto 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That was my favourite RPG for Playstation 1. It brings back some good memories (though I guess I can't remember the correct music sequence to get the nice ending of the game :). Nice to see this re-visited.
    Now if I may suggest a game, I would love to see your take on Outlaws. I used to play it back when I didn't enjoy FPS'ing with monsters (Doom, Quake) and Outlaws totally caught my attention. It has a memorable soundtrack as well.

  • @BigbangNic
    @BigbangNic 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would be super sick to see your rendition on the Warcraft universe!

  • @Shymatsu
    @Shymatsu 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Chrono Cross is my favorite game so far and i really enjoy this episode, amazing works, beautifull colors and nice designs. So, my suggestion for the next episodes is Final Fantasy IX and Shadow of the Colossus, which containing a pretty amazing art direction.

  • @TheRealLaugh99

  • @morelbenoit9444
    @morelbenoit9444 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Feng, here's one point you can add to Drawcrowd to make it a little bit better :
    Can you add a button "follow user" into the lightbox (when you click on an image from the first page) ? it would make it easier and quicker to discover and follow users. This website is really great :)
    Thanks for all you do :D

  • @cartoon80s90s
    @cartoon80s90s 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are amazing. Thanks for showing the process of adding more details. I was about to post that it would be great if you could show us an illustration as you add detail, but you covered that in the second part of the video. I loved the first picture (46:00) since I am a fan of nature more than industrial environments.
    Also, if the next version of Photoshop comes with a "Add detail" filter I am definitely buying it. :)

  • @BinaryDood
    @BinaryDood 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks, ideas for next ep.
    Panzer Dragoon, Front Mission, Virtual on, Zone of the Enders.
