class demo..

[Feng]

Hey everyone,

Sorry for not being active on here for so long, just been too busy w/ work stuff.

Here's a demo i did tonight for my students at Gnomon. I started with a previously drawn line-art, and painted this up in front of the students. Total time was about 1 and 1/2 hours. The line-art and painting were all done in Painter 6.

This painting is a bit colorful tho, because i wanted to show some "mini-paintings" within this big one (since it's a demo, i wanted to cover many bases). I'll post some close-ups to illustrate this point (which probably looks better on their own..haha).

*edit* You can download a higher-res image here:

Hello,
Very good environment , I would like to be able to do something like that in 1h30 ... a lot of work in perspective.
I like your construction lines.

[-The Swift-]

great work feng, this is definatly your most colurful work, but i love it!
the lighting is insane! thanks for all the work you've put into your dvds and demos, i've found them really helpful.

great work:)

[Blackarts]

awesome work - you have some of the best perspective work I've ever seen. Nice to see you posting again.

[Travis_Bourbeau]

man thats some cool sht !



Not to plug your dvds but, i truly belive you can teach anyone to do work like this, not that its easy just that your that good at instructing. The dvds to me were even better than a class your a very good instructor man !



regards
Trav

*cries*

man, 1.5 hours, that is dope.

i love the overall value pattern. i always mess that part up and light each object individually, without giving thoughts to a mother pattern of values first.

emm... would you please assure me you do not draw these lines in perspective freehand?

[bwkeough]

great perspective and color & light. I really like the different light qualities, too.

the only part that doesn't ring true for me is the reflection of the Restaraunt Jackpot sign. The glass isn't reading as angles and even if it is, I don't see a clear line of sight between the two. Actually, there's one more thing, the closest yellow spur-thing, it looks like the dark grey is vertical on the right side of the image but as it crosses the platform it looks like it flops to horizontal.

I hope this doesn't sound overly critical, I truly am impressed with the density and livliness of this environment!

[I.was.ink]

You should put this in the speed painting thread. Cuz 1.5 hrs. is the limit. Great job feng:thumbsup:

[hawkprey]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh CRAP!

CRAP!
CRAP!

damn............

its good.......so damn good.

bastard.

[pixelherder]

great stuff. I wish i'd had lectures of that quality back when it might have made a difference!

[Loga4]

Wow,excellent!
Great jop,Feng!

[wallychairmover]

i just don't think the pavement paper texture so glaringly obvious among all the smooth techno features really works.

[gasmask]

[Killer Napkins]

[Paulo]

Oh, my. Just amazing.

[Red_Rook]

WOAHH.... perdy lights. :eek:

wilsonjr: Yeah you can. Well I got mine and im all the way in switzerland.

[Feng]

Hey everyone,

sorry for the late reply. The system harddrive on my main computer went dead last night, so been trying to get that up again.

thank you for the feedback. Glad you guys like it.

Yeah, tons of mistakes in there..haha. I was painting this live, so whenever a student asks a question, i'll show them the answer on the painting....thus the crazy mix of materials, light, etc.

bwkeough: Good eye: yeah, that reflection on lower right is all mess up. I was trying to show students how to use photo-scrap....and yes, that beam close to camera is messed up too.....ahha.....i got confused.

Thanks again for the encouragement. I have to do another demo like this for the weekend....so i'll post that up soon.

[Happy Camper]

Wow Feng, It's becuase of peices like this that your my (art) hero :D.

I wish I could save some cash to come to Cali and do one of your classes but unfortunitly I'm just a poor ID student :rolleyes:.

[Titan]

Damn man, youre stuff is always so inspirational, yet it depresses me...feel like no matter how hard I try I'l never get to this level....great work man.

[daarken]

holy shit, im moving to la and going to gnomon

I love it! I love it! I love it!
I also want to say that your DVDs are excellent for instruction. It's always the simplest techniques, used smartly, that surprise everyone.

[bizarde]

awesome work Feng, I love the way you mixed cold and warm colors together creating harmony on this image
Ohh! and Ahh! for the way you manage to fool the eye ...this is almost a complete matte painting piece ......I'm making sense here :o

overall, you rock dude!

ps: do you ever check your e-mail? ;)

[Jaded]

Damn Good! Feng great to see your work here I have been a fan of your art for about 2yrs since i saw your website by complete accident. Totally inspiring, you rock!

[alex_86]

ONE and a HALF HOURS?? Holy crap man, I bet you've never used an eraser in your life! :D Geez thats fast for something like this, I suppose you just laid it on layer after layer without any mistakes. I can't wait till I get that good, and I hope I do :p

[Sok N. Wett]

Just amazing work Feng, I too accidentally stumble on to your website through another website and now have it as a favorite. Most insipirational for environment concept...one day I hope to be just as good as you.

[Red Mimic]

Wow.

You're so great, I remember a long time ago when I was 8 or 9 (somwhere around then) I saw this episode of Xmen and it had this terminator-like robot on it but it seemed so much cooler. As soon as I saw this robot I stopped the tape (it was taped from earlier in the morning) and started to try and draw it. I think I still have the drawing around somewhere and I realize mine is very bad but I was so proud of it at the time. Awhile ago, while looking at your site (I can't find it on there anymore) I found your sketches for that same robot.

Turns out I've been admiring your work for much longer than I had known.

Anyways, thanks for drawing that robot!

[William_Easlick]

Feng, as an architect and someone who draws and views many perspective, location drawings.. you're smooth!!!

[Ulysses]
