Design Cinema - EP 21 - Zombie Knights Part 01

[@ChristopherLeBlancArtAndDesign]

I'm still watching this ten years later. That line quality. Love your line work Feng!

[@atharvadharphale5710]

Same here, sooooo much content to learn from here literally hundreds of videos

[@SpaceyHD]

Great tutorial and I really enjoy the little bit of psychology you throw into these. It really helps define the thought process a little to see hints at how other designers are thinking when working on something.

[@ic.xc.]

I miss these old videos, remind me of my commencement of concept art ..

[@markofsouth8786]

Wow this one comment is good motivation on its own.

[@dizzy_d_4575]

Still am thankful these classes are still up! These videos are still such a good reference

[@FZDSCHOOL]

@musiquedecor Feng and FZD students are currently using both Wacom Intuos 3 and 4. There are not much difference between the two. Hope this helps. :)

[@tddavis]

thanks for posting the demos, very appreciated. Always glad to see artist willing to share ideas.

[@TheCapnReynolds]

In case you are still wondering, I would greatly recommend Paint Tool Sai. It is 63$-ish, so still a bit of money, and has a good few less features, but is a very good program overall, and there are very many tutorials about it here on youtube and other places around the internet.

[@paulhellsfortune4873]

@FZDSCHOOL sry..Intuos is a standard tablet,and Cintiq is a direct drawing monitor. So there is a HUGE difference. Intuos 3 and 4 are not much different from each other. I believe you misunderstood the question.

[@maqhem]

I just watched the three videos, and I enjoyed every single second - extremely impressive! And what a nice style, usually I only watch photo realistic speed paintings but this is fantastic! And then I saw a comment on the third video saying a user watched the video again just to listen to you talk, and I realized my computer was muted all the time... But I'll gladly watch them again - unmuted, of course =) I'll definately check out the rest of your videos!

[@bokabes]

i think it requires a whole pack of fundamental knowledge, thanks Master Feng)))

[@videowizard404]

Your an awesome designer and an awesome inspiration

[@kozubart]

Nice points, super informative!

[@Musiquedecor]

Oh wow, i would think with that about of accuracy it would have been a cintiq, I'm impressed.

[@headon6139]

you are amazing you need some awards man!!! i wish i could use painter like that

[@HarryBACKeddy]

I like watching the quick sketch part.

[@70cagoni]

Great video! Do you have a video with the sketching method you use at the start to build the two knighs?

[@vidshank]

OMG feng i always use to wonder where you got this one particular brush..I dint know you can bring it from painter...any insight on how to do that would be great...great work here as usual....you are very generous!!

[@abaeran]

Thank you! These are very informative and instructive! :)

[@TundraKaffe1]

wow , that looks soo easy when you draw it and everytime i want to draw something like that it looks like a stickman ^^

[@jusjerry4]

He likes the effect that one of the painter brushes gives when sketching

[@Peteru69]

@Vollum5 Did you watch the videos with sound? No offense. He mentions that this is corel Painter X. He uses Photoshop CS5 and corel Painter. Mostly he uses Photoshop for his work stuff.

[@ianpigg1724]

So what brush is that? If I could get a link or find it I'm fairly new to digital painting and that looks like a really fun one to sketch with! Thank you :)

[@IfthiAli]

Probably default round brush. Brushes don't matter.

[@Timeless_Future]

this is gold.. i guess doin these drawings requires a lot of 3D thinking?

[@cheetoschrist5685]

Amazing drawing Feng

[@Vollum5]

@TheTreyVidz awesome man thats great! thank you for the response imma get this app now =D i'll let you know how it goes, thanks again man!

[@FZDSCHOOL]

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~~

[@777Sir]

@dubvikdnb Just use the default round brush. Brushes are just tools, but the best way to learn is to just use the default round brush.

[@SpasmAtaK]

I'm pretty sure he does not use the Gimp... But anyway, he did say that he prefers how Painter handles the line drawing over how Photoshop does. Maybe this has changed cause lately all the design cinema are made in Photoshop.

[@_Xerius_]

This is an awesome brush! Where can I get one?

[@RedstoneOblivion]

He probably prefers different tools within each type of program. For instance, he might prefer a shading tool in gimp over the one in painter, or prefer the text tool in another program to photoshop.

[@Fengdesigns]

@vidshank The brush is from Painter 4.0 to Painter 10. You can't import brushes from Painter into PS. I hope that's not what i said in the video :P In anycase, I only use Painter to sketch. For everything else (99% of the time), i use photoshop. The brush engine in PS is pretty impressive as well.

[@kingdarko]

I thought my painter was playing up or my ram was full or something but thanks for explaining that last point about the pixelated lines.

[@Box0r0x0rz]

Are you drawing all that with your mouse or do you use some sort of a tablet?

[@ammbr]

Can't find anywhere this special old "camel hair brush"! =/ And how its the size of the brush in the initial strokes?! How can I find this old brush to import to my Painter 12?! Someone here knows?! I can get close with some brushes but no the same feel...

[@ic.xc.]

It's the default brush. Brushes really don't matter.

[@LudicGraphix]

@SachaKaBoom It has a bit better respond time from the tablet, barely anything thought, and it's JUST for painting so that's what that program does best, unlike photoshop, which is still really good.

[@luismaaah]

This technique is very Madureira!

[@LobsterBoffin]

I really like that loose starting style. Any tips on where I can learn that?

[@WeaponMCX]

when your doing your lectures in class about this are the students sitting at desks just watching for the two and a half hours or are they actually on their own computers also doing the same drawing in a way like the"zombie knight" but their own version while your during your version and talking about it.

[@Vollum5]

What software do you use, my software came free with my graphics tablet and its pretty bad, i can even draw a straight line that's not all blurry if i zoom in a bit =/. I'm only 14 so i can't really afford photoshop but if you could suggest a good alternative that would be very helpful thank you (i am a budding character designer) Thank you!

[@jmac316]

Feng, what brush do you use on the line work. I have Painter X3 and can't seem to find anything that gives as nice effect, especially when doing the refining line work pass. Thanks

[@furyberserk]

Have you ever drawn detail so much that you forget the limit of picture. For example when drawing that knight at 6:08 and while drawing the lines you forget where the flesh is because it looks somewhat similar to the cloth? Like you have so much detail that you forget what you wanted to place where you wanted it? I ask because you didn't make the cloth have any real limit like a thick line to show where the cloth ends.

[@Holdsworthands]

this videos inspire me in so many ways... i make music better (?) and thats incredible

[@Dakary01]

did you give "idrawgirls" some lessons or why do you guys have the same style as him? thats epic btw :D

[@extrememonaXXX]

holy crap this is sooooooo effing good O.O

[@AngelTovar]

ops how can i get that brush? it looks smooth.

[@TheTreyVidz]

@Vollum5 No problem I'm glade I could help!

[@BuzzyBe]

You have a very interesting way of sketching out those poses, with all the squigly lines. I like it a lot. Is that just you keeping your pencil on grounded and moving about? Or is there more method to the madness?

[@MONEYVAL9]

Can u make the hi res versions available for download???

[@WesleyVanitou]

@Fengdesigns Hello feng. I've notice you use a custom camel hair brush. I import the camel hair brush from painter 5 to 11 but after try many settings it doesn't look the same as yours. Can you help me?

[@Vollum5]

ahh that's brilliant actually! i think the option for help on youtube would be a great benafit! thanks a lot!

[@Excyis]

Because people used to different workflows. Photoshop doesn't always have the right brush settings that other programs have to offer.

[@AngelTovar]

what brush did you use? i have painter x as well.

[@onacloud1]

Are there pros of using painter as opposed to photoshop, or do you just use one program for certain projects and the other for different things?

[@SachaKaBoom]

IS there an advantage to using painter to sketch instead of Photoshop to do the beginning stages?

[@Kitisuneh]

Great tips, and thank you for the content too! What program are you using in the beginning of this video? -EDIT- So sorry, is Painter, but thank you!

[@RedstoneOblivion]

Real fast, just saw this and wanted to saw that gimp was an example, not a program he actually used :P.

[@giorgijabauri1040]

can you add full video of this?

[@Musiquedecor]

I'm curious if you're using a cintiq or intuous?

[@shadowhunt86]

What's the size of the "canvas" you're using?

[@007foppe]

i like raw talent paining to not much things from photoshop if you know wat i mean this is raw talent ^_^

[@turtlemasterroshi]

How did you make your brush cursor into an arrow?

[@123tita91]

Do you use the pen tablet or is everything done with the mouse?

[@HUNrobar]

How do you stick the reference pic window to the top left corner so that the canvas doesnt overlay it? Thank you in advance :)

[@phuwittheapprom]

Pure Ref

[@TheTreyVidz]

@Vollum5 yes I'm your age and I use sketchbook express which is totally free, I have a Mac and got it through the app store but I think you can get it for windows too. If that fails for you, your going to have to get a job and make so money :P. I do extra work for movies and shows that how I get my money there plenty of ways a 14 year old can get money, don't think negative just because your younger.

[@Pixelfigure]

Can anyone suggest a good KZbin channel for learning the fundamentals?

[@DerLeonard244Test]

whitch programm do you use????

[@erocovers]

thanks so much for this video. It really made something in my head click and I realised that I didn't have to be anal when I was inking. Now inking is well... not exactly FUN but at least it doesnt take forever.

[@DannyAnimate]

What is the size of such canvas?..

[@eZU4nQsWN9pAGsU38aHj]

Do i need Painter? Can't i just work in Ps?

[@noghpu]

Zombie knights? Dark souls!

[@jayveemariano5797]

how long does does it take at this kind of art or any of your art?

[@HoxtonHoxworthDoesNotExist]

It depends on the skill of the artist, some people can do it on like 2 hours, others take days or even weeks do complete it.

[@jayveemariano5797]

yeah i figured that out while my comment is hanging here for like 7 months, either wau thanks dude :)

[@ArtificialAlexander]

[@HotPocketsBoy]

[@tsukun16]

i cant get how to work simultaneously with painter and PS

[@KotaishiHatake]

It's his preference obviously.

[@Excyis]

Workflow.

[@Warriorjemgi]

Why use painter instead of 100% photoshop?

[@stevekramer8812]

Because Painter have better tools for Sketching.

[@littlepinkpebble]

[@Malic2094]
