Again, I was asked how I made my landscapes. I admit that I’m not an expert, and I have a long way to go, but the basic bits are that I followed Feng Zhu’s tutorial here

A piece done a while go - sometimes it’s hard to really see how long it might take for a student to complete a piece - we can rationally understand it takes time, but until we see the numbers it’s hard to “get it”. This was done over a weekend to show students before they finished up term 2 to hammer home that what we do sometimes just takes time so planning a piece or a project, or just managing time well pays out in the end, especially for term 3 #timemanagement #charleslin #fzd #fzdschool #fzdschoolofdesign #demo #ruins #conceptart #entertainmentdesign #viscom2 #visualcommunication https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl77Tfrn_9P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dd1llgoalvbq

10 useful youtube art channels
As an artist you never stop improving, there is fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how you see it) no end to the learning curve, even the masters were looking at new ways to improve.
With this we always encounter hurdles and challanges giving us the need to find new techniques or simply improve upon the ones we have.
So here I present to you the most useful YouTube channels I have come across in helping me get over those hurdles;
1.Mary Doodles
Great for fun art tips, fundamental tutorials, and generally a fun quirky character to watch.
2.CubeBrush
Marc Brunet a up and coming digital artist working for Blizzard, gives great tutorials on digital painting from start to finish. Very helpful for those trying to do digital work and general tips.
3.Annie Stoll
Annie Stoll’s channel is another great fun and informative channel. She predominantly uses watercolour and Copics but I find her channel great for helping understand colour also
4.FZD School of Design
The FZD school is the place to be for art in the entertainment industry, specializing in Concept Art and design, 3D art, Painting. The art that this place churns out is incredible. It does come with a hefty price-tag, but luckily they also offer fantastic free tutorials and paid online courses.
5.Level Up!
Much like FZD Level Up! focuses on digital concept design for the entertainment industry. If you’re interested in films, games or even just great paintings you’ll get a lot out of this. They also have a FaceBook page which has regular competitions, critique and advice sessions and if you become a regular (or not) fun art hangouts where you can talk to the guys. Check em out :)
6.Sycra Art Videos
Sycra Yasin has created one of my favourite art tutorial channels containing tips, speed painting, interviews with other influential artists, livestreams etc. The biggest benefit of this channel is Sycra’s simple layout and well organized playlists helping us to navigate to exactly what we want.
7.Sinix Design
I came across Sinix whilst looking for tips on getting anatomy right, and found so much more! They have various art and design software advice from 3d to 2d. And naturally they offer informative tutorials on most art processes.
8.Circle Line Art School
Circle line art school is a great one for technical drawing. Before all the colour goes on and we add our own flare and styles, this is where to start.
9.The Comic Archive
This one is great for inspiration especially when your feeling glum.
We all get to a stage where we struggle to keep at it, like we’re never gonna learn this - asking “am I just wasting my time” - “should I just give it up and go to a normal 9-5?”. We’ve all been there and probably will do again.
Luckily this channel interviews REAL people and the people you think are a success and always had it easy, it’s nice to see them talk about their struggles and offer solutions how to get past it and tutorials to help us push on.
10.Wacom
Last but not least is Wacom themselves. They offer a few informative videos on how to use their digital software and tips on how t get the most out of it
And they’re my top channels. I hope you find them as useful or inspiring as I do!
