I doubt anybody really knows, and I don't think any graduates would freely reveal what costed them thousands of dollars to obtain.

I don't even know if they make their students read books.

>>2729017
I don't think a lot of them would really care about sharing what they learnt in school. It's not like some massive secret or something, it's just hard to get the info without knowing someone who went.

>Has anyone here been to the FZD School of Design?
There's been a few students who have posted here in the past, and they tend to say both good and bad things about the school. Pros: you will improve a ton and quickly, and get a pretty decent foundation of skills. Cons: if you are not one of the top students you will be ignored, you might burn out, it is expensive.

There's also been some controversies over some of the practices Feng has used and some of his morals/legal things, but that's not really relevant to you.

>What's the curriculum and how is it taught?
Mostly from what I have seen they teach perspective and construction. They basically do what Scott Robertson's book covers, and then apply it as well to organic forms like they construct insects and things in the same way as Scott does with ships.

A lot of the focus seems to be on setting up large scale scenes and environments, with a smaller focus on specific design of things like props or characters.

The course seems too short to get into painting properly, so they tend to focus on industry shortcuts like using photos and things. Probably you are better off taking a "slower" route where you genuinely learn how to paint things manually, and then later down the road if you want to photobash or use other shortcuts it comes from a place of knowledge so will have better results and not be done out of lack of knowledge.

Rather than try to follow them exactly and cram everything into one year you are better off designing your own personalized curriculum that reflects what you want to learn and is going to be taking place over a longer time period so you can learn things thoroughly instead of having to just learn things in a superficial way.

Yep. The amount of young budding artists is insane while the actual demand for media hasn't changed all that much.

Best you can do is to go independent and hope you find an audience, but honestly I'd say that the amount of patreons and e-begging is starting to exhaust audiences too.

>>2726771

yes so please just quit

It's something you'd wanna pursue in your spare time as a hobby rather than as a job.

Unless you get extremely lucky it's a dead end career choice.

this question gets asked so much.

drawing is a MENTAL EXERCISE, not a PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE.

yes, hours count. but you can draw a meaningless 12 hours a day and still be shit at art.

TLDR there is no formula, only discipline.

i don't think it could be done in a couple months, because you have to learn how to learn in the process.


but you're welcome to try and prove us all wrong.

3 years for simple drawings
5 years for full illustrations
It really depends on where the person starts from though

With typical shitty male motor skills, it takes about half a year extra just to refine pencil control, and if you're spoiled with typical female eye symbol drawing habits, it will take a few months to undo

In the end, don't stress about how long it is going to take. Just focus on getting good and you'll be there before you realize it. (Also it's a never-ending journey so you'll never be good enough by your own standards)

It seems to me that 20 on each subject is barely enough to get your brain focused on that subject, try studying something different each week or so.

>>2729058
As long as it works for you.
3 hours and one, maybe two, subjects is the way to go tho

>>2729058
20m seems a bit tiny, you got any more time in your day?

where's the art from the middle from?

At least he pours money into the Art market. Dont be so stuck up, not everyone can be super Smart about Art.

>>2729877
If it's actually painted (well) then it can be nicer than a print since you have the physical paint texture of it, though I doubt they used the gold leaf that Klimt did so it's an odd choice.

It's his money anyhow, so he can spend it how he likes. I think it's nice that someone is willing to spend $500 on art, even if it is just a Chinese labour camp painting. Most people tend to not value art at all.

Also you don't need to study art or do art yourself to appreciate it. You're basically saying "so my friend just bought a CD! He says he likes the music on it! What a retard he can't even play the viola and never studied music theory! Why are people such retards about music?"

>>2729878
The Chinese reproduction market is not the same as supporting local arts or even creatives abroad.

If these artists did their own shit on the side and you bought that, you might have a point. Buying assembly line knockoffs from underpaid laborers doesn't qualify as supporting the arts

Draw whatever's trending, be on every social media platform, use as many hashtags as possible, interact with your audience.

>>2725765
draw fan art. i need to start doing this soon because i hate relying on my shit irl job for money

>>2725765
Hyperrealism, anime, memes, "speed painting", optical illusions, gratutiously overdone fanart, sports celebrities and e-celebs (regular celebrities not so much).

Just hit what's trending. Protip: if you still want at least some artist credit just shittalk your audience behind their back.

Anon if you're gonna shill for yourself at least use the self-promotion thread.

>>2729745
It's just vector artwork in a simple loop. Use Adobe Illustrator or Flash or something.

Pain in the ass to work with.

Why are you so butthurt? Seriously

it was probably his initial sketch

The image on the right is clearly edited, so what photo are you even talking about OP?
What is that image on the right? Was this done by an anon?
