The anons that brag about having it never share any of it.
Does it even exist? I dunno. nothing in cgpeers nor gfx.
Is there a similar resource of a well structured exercise programs that lasts at least a year?

>Yes where did you find practice homework from FZD school?

I typed on Google images ''FZD school Homework''. From there I saw a couple deviantart and blog from people who attended the school and posted work, not an overwhelming amount of info but some gave pretty interesting stuff.

For example, pic related is from the two first weeks of FZD. You can see in there that they start construction with very simple exercises that make you transfer simple shapes in ortographic view into Perspective, so I began doing that too. If you listen to Feng Zhu's podcast, you'll hear him claim that all the teaches in term one is pretty much what Scott Robertson's book teaches. so I started learning the techniques from his book.

After that, I found out what the TERM 1 final projects look like. Which I will post in a pic in a following post. But you can find them online if you type ''DRAW THROUGH FZD''. So I tried my best to figure out how the process works.

>BTW keep up whatever you're doing cause I think it's working

Thanks friend, I'll try.

>I'm about to start Erik Olson's perspective course I think that'll help me move into the type of practice you're doing

I wish I could go through his seminars too. I only went through Vandruff's and Scott Robertson because my internet data cap is limited so I can't download 50GB. (I am limited to 50gb per month lmao).

Depends on your level, if you're completely new I recommend making sure you develop observational skills till you're not symbol drawing anymore. Past that, just dive in straight into Perspective. I recommend Vandruff's Perspective DVD, because that's what I did. Another very useful thing, at least for me, was to watch the first week of Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing seminar, and reading the first 2 chapters of his book, then doing like 400 gesture drawings. It's helping me having an easier time ''feeling'' mass in space. I'll see if I can post a pic to give you an idea.

Type on google ''FZD Draw-through homework'' you'll see a lot of examples of what the students do. I don't have a particular list of exercises, I am just making sure I know the techniques taught in Scott Robertson's How to Draw book, picking a subject I like and then trying to construct it in perspective. Before that though, I spent some time sketching the subject to learn how it looks from all sides, since you are not allowed to copy, and to study it's main components, maybe learn a bit of history too.


I began by doing simpler forms in space to get used to it, you can see an example of that in pic related. >>2870960
