From Speedpainting to Concept Art
Photoshop Custom Brush Techniques with David Levy
Introduction
Description
In this title, David Levy demonstrates the Adobe Photoshop® techniques that he uses to create environments 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 title includes the set of brushes that are created in the lecture, as well as the layered PSD files.
