Good to hear from you. I’ve been following your work as well and it’s great to see it evolve with each piece.</p> <p>A little over a month ago, I took a break from drawing and stumbled upon these tutorials. <a href="http://fengzhudesign.com/tutorials.htm.">http://fengzhudesign.com/tutorials.htm.</a> The guy was a concept artist for a bunch of Star Wars stuff and other huge titles. He has his own school in Singapore, but he puts these tuts up. They’re the most useful thing I’ve ever watched (I spent two weeks and plowed through half of them). After that, my work tremendously improved! I’m also learning shit more quickly and freely than I ever did in college, though I’m building upon the foundations I learned previously (gained from college).</p> <p>The paintings are all photoshop. I plan to learn 3D programs like zbrush, maya and 3ds Max in the near future, but I’m trying to get really badass at one thing for now!</p>http://kevinkwong.tumblr.com/post/44754195142http://kevinkwong.tumblr.com/post/44754195142Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:28:00 -0800kevinkwng<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/46011a0bafe0cedf1e82b053086b08cc/tumblr_mimxol2AJr1rjgzwao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>68.
