“I've been watching the
very innovative digital painting techniques David and
his colleagues have been working on over the last several
years with great
interest. Having now employed the ideas into some of my
own work I'm even
more excited and eager to be able to offer to you his techniques
through
this newest DVD addition to our library. ”

In this DVD, David Levy demonstrates the Adobe PhotoshopÔ techniques that he
uses to create environ- ments for the entertainment industry. He
specifically reveals the custom brush creation techniques that have been
perfected by a small group of passionate artists in Montreal. From two
basic brushes, David shows you how to develop your own library of custom
brushes that will allow you to gain speed and efficiency during your
speedpainting process. Beginning with examples such as mountains, forests
and clouds, David then leads you through the creation of a concept art
painting, from rough sketches to a final piece with environment, vehicles
and characters. Using texture brushes, you will then learn to refine and
complete the painting without losing the original dynamism and composition
of the sketch. This DVD includes the set of brushes that are created in the
lecture, as well as the layered PSD files.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
