Conceptual Design - Hand Sketches

Recently we picked up a copy of the new Gnomon Conceptual Design DVD's from Feng Zhu. Feng's site has some great sketches and for those wondering what tools he uses to accomplish this, he shares those with you as well. Be sure to visit his site and check out the recently released 4 DVD collection.

For those either getting started in rendering or the experienced user, the ability to pre-visualize what you plan to render and/or model is very important. This will save you a large amount of time in that the items that are not in the frame may not need to be modeled.

If you are not great at sketching early scenes or able to understand what you are rendering you should spend some time learning this important step as it will help you to be a better CG artist.

Happy Rendering...
