Individual variety :)

So yes, a lot of students did. Students would pass out in class, sometimes so badly that their head would bang on the desk and they still kept sleeping. Another dude got the creeps, feeling "ghosts"

I started off with 14 hours, then went down to 8-10 every for term02 and term03. I was the only one doing that, but a lot of students would work 18 hours during the weekdays and sleep 12-14 hours on Saturday and Sunday.

The reason why is that I wanted to learn a lot, so I often sacrificed good pieces in order to pay more attention in class. As a result, I was often the worst student on Monday (when everyone went full blast in the weekend) but above average on Friday (when people's batteries ran out).

No right, no wrong. Just what suits you best.

This is all opinion, but I think doing difficult exercises (liek draw-through) and getting mentorship is important.
When I log my time, I log the actual pen to paper work, not any "fluff". That's the most difficult about working/studying from home - you need to control procrastination, your focus and get rid of fluff.

Also, dedication. I drew on with a fucked up wrist (couldn't bend my fingers anymore) and a shoulder dislocation (though I did miss client deadlines because I was messed up).

Congrats on graduating, getting married, and your improvement both artistically and career-wise! Thanks for sharing your files and notes with us, as well.

Honestly, I think I would literally die if I went to FZD. I was getting severe TMJ pain induced grinding to the point I couldn't open my mouth for hours after waking up over my last semester of HS, so I can't imagine putting myself through FZD. Makes me sort of sad I don't have the stamina to really push myself, but hopefully I (and similar others) can git gud through a slower grind.

Term 01 is mostly traditional. Used to be 100% traditional except for digital painting, but they experimented with 50-50 trad/digi for my batch.

>>2941415
I dunno, but the school will be fine. They're awesome because of strictness and deadlines and crunching. Even if you know what they teach, it's still worth going because they will make you work when you don't want to.

>>2941436
Yes, visual library is paramount. That's why sketching is good for mileage :)

Relying on games for visual library building will make your work look generic. Movies are better, real world is best.

Visual library makes the biggest difference in how much time an assignment takes you. Surely you can tell my strengths/weaknesses in visual library from looking at the files.

That's why the draw-through exercise is so powerful. You use real-life reference, but to draw it from a different angle, you need to understand what you're looking at. So you're learn perspective, draftsmanship and understanding of your reference at the same time.

By the way, most common: characters, creatures, fantasy, historical.
Less common: clean sci-fi, modern day, architecture, props.

So if your passion lies in one of the less common areas, you already have less competition.

Yeah, we interact. Not on a class basis, but as individuals. As such, maybe your seniors are a bunch of introverts and you don't talk much. I had experienced lots of interaction both with seniors and juniors. For example, Charles Lin was my senior and a great guy, he's a teacher at FZD now.

However, listen to what the teacher says rather than a random student. We had a weird rumor from seniors that hatching was frowned upon. Made the teacher laugh.

Hell yeah, I can draw for a living now. On the other, I’m superfrustrated because I know that I’m slacking.

Feng is so talkative. IRL Feng is Design Cinema in 3D.

Imo Tze Wei was the best teacher there. He’s probably open for mentorship if you offer to pay his mortgage.

Plans for the future are difficult to pinpoint. I will freelance for 2-3 years till I get citizenship. After that, moving anywhere in the world for an in-house job. I am extremely fearful of sliding down further and further into averageness, spending too much time on chores and entertainment.

"Literally" doesn't mean "figuratively", but it can be used figuratively like any other word. If "literally" is used figuratively, it's used as an exaggeration to strengthen the word it refers to, just like "really" "seriously" "actually" etc. It has little to do with its definition and arguing against its figurative use is arguing against the use of hyperbole in general, which is -literally- retarded. Nobody suggests changing the dictionary definition of "literally" to "figuratively" by the way, however the figurative use may very well be noted (strictly as figurative) since it's common.
The jealousy/envy case is completely different, since it's about people not knowing the difference instead of knowingly using a rhetorical device that you don't like.

Thank you for the cool downloads and the write-up post anon. I needed to hear some of this from an outside voice.

Your experiences bring back memories of my education over a decade ago - similar kind of set up with regards to daily grind (9 am - 9pm every day + homework afterwards til 1am or so). I was one of the few who managed not to have an SO throughout most of it. Sex definitely helps with pent up stress in these situations. Today the money is flowing and I can shitpost /ic/ whenever I want, but it wasn't always like that.

The grinding is, I've found, a necessary evil. It's hard to describe to outsiders because on one hand people are thinking it's smoke and mirrors bravado, while on the other you get pelted with "survivor ship bias". Both try to dismiss the underlying point: you're training to work under a lot of stress and discovering under this stress how you learn best and where your effective points are, and there's no other way to do this in such a short period of time.

I hope you'll look back in a positive way and not feel like you have been put through a gauntlet with little return.

You have our support anon and you're not alone.

Means that every now and then when I tell people about the experiences, some are convinced that such a method of education is not needed and is damaging; that it's all theatrics and a dick waving competition. To their point, and to the OP talking about people falling asleep at their desks or seeing ghosts, I do remember people sleeping through some of the classes. It would be years later after I graduated that I started being able to articulate the experiences into words, and being able to place a word to the state of being between awake and asleep but managing to be productive and focused. Most of us can voluntarily pull all nighters here and there, but doing so constantly for two three years on demand does build odd mental facilities to focus on a task into you. You get into a get-shit-done mode that Tze Wei's bullet point list can't communicate.

As an aside, some years later I saw Band of Brothers and decided to look up Major Winters, and came across some of his writings. His philosophy resonated with me on a deeper level than most philosophical works I've read. I do not for a second claim to compare a first-world education to having to lead people to death in one of the world's worst wars by any stretch of the imagination (though both are voluntarily in this case). But there are common characteristics that people who have been put through personal hardships end up having. A particular hardened mode of thinking that they identify with between themselves. And I don't think it's too big of a statement to say that I can relate to some of his thinking.

I don't think it possible if your working full time.

I'm calculated that I get 10 hours of free time a day if I sleep 6 hours a day. The problem is I procasinate for 6 hours.

So it like doing 4 hours a work a day.

Its impossible to concentrate. I use up all my focus at work.

You could also specialize in a less saturated niche. Military, fantasy, characters and creature are a dime a dozen. For example, specialize in modern day interiors like doctor's offices and classrooms.

all those games are super casual. like the big bang theory of gaming. you think any job isn't garbage? maybe if you're a doctor or a carpenter or something, then yeah your work has actual quantifiable value. I don't get this idea that people are being manipulated in to actually liking something. some people just like producing art and some people like consuming the art. if you think staring at modern abstract art nonsense on a wall is somehow waaay more fulfilling then playing a AAA blockbuster game then you're just wrong.

My god it literally drains the life out of you. I dont have the ball like OP to join FZD at this rate due to my own personal lack of self discipline and choice of career. And to think you guys have pulled off 10+ hrs. I'm over here, spending only 3 -6 hrs a day trying to get by with basic drawing.

I take it that now that you went through all those ordeal, you've gain a good ground on your direction? I mean for most people, especially self-taught artist like most /ic/ have basic knowledge and theoretical understanding but have zero intuition on how to put it down into an effective formula t get better faster. Hopefully at this rate, you'll be sufficient in a few years. Good luck in the future OP
