Hey! Thank you for the kind feedback. Been slowly improving but its a marathon not a sprint.

I go one by one on the FZD videos. I watch the video and then apply what Feng is teaching to an new or existing project. I am on episode 13 at the moment. Start with one that interests you. They are FULL of helpful advice and information for improving your skills.

I love listening to the podcasts too. They are perfect for listening while I draw.

Thank's Alan for your answer!

I've already watched some FZD videos but I didn't know if there was a reading order... You started at ep1 and then chronologically?

Yeah I have not heard about any reading order. I could be wrong.

YUP! Chronologically, listen, then apply.

Thank's a lot, I'll do it!

The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef

PureRef

This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.

When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.

Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
