Research - Digital Artist no.2: Feng Zhu

Feng Zhu


 Feng Zhu is a concept artist particularly well known for his art works in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith and numerous amount in entertainment industries, such as Warner Bros and Microsoft etc. His works are in huge scale with incredible details in each parts, but when you look at it more closely, his brush strokes are rather peculiar, as if each strokes has been done carelessly and left it alone.

 I'm intrigued by his unique style of painting and designing skills for either environment or character painting. Sometimes, his brush strokes are quick but at the same time, it's precise enough to see it as a well-detailed painting when you are looking at the full view. Moreover, one of the most important part from his style is to know the perfect use of perspective view.

Taking one of the image as an example, I want to fully understand how he paints, his specific style of brush strokes or perspective view or where he places his characters to match the environment setting. It is compelling that the painting contains enough information to give the spectator their own idea and story but to go more deeper into the painting, more information will be found of this artists’ unique style.

In this painting, the first thing I have noticed was that in some distinctive part, he paints very delicately, nearly hyper realistic. Second part which I have realised was his unique painting style. Quick brush strokes but its clear to see the texture and it is still clear to understand what kind of object it is. The combination of both will be a great help to improve the painting style of mine.


Third part is similar as the second part but it is much clear to see how his brush stroke works the best at. The last part is the concentration of a single object that it can contain. The tower may not be the centre of the painting as a big picture but when you close it up and concentrate on this particular object, it’s noticeable that there are more than one perspective view and the complication of the painting can certainly
works well with each other.
