A lot of good things to learn from Feng.

The rental was well worth it. I will rent more vidoes. This is a cost effective way to see this information without a big investment.

Feng is an inspiration and a great person to share what he knows!

I thought it was ok. Maybe because this area of Concept Design doesn't interest me as much as human character design. But it was very instructional, I loved the key point of making thumbnail drawings of your designs before making these elaborate drawings. Also I like that Feng showed really economical solutions to producing production ready art. You know what, I changed my mind this DVD was great a lot of good info...
