In this DVD, David Levy demonstrates the Adobe Photoshop® 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.

Good DVD - the brushes he uses are useful and he has some cool ideas on how to generate ideas, but I personally didn't like his style as much as Mark Goerner, Feng Zhu, or Ryan Church. The DVD is more useful for helping develop ideas and not so much for how to render ideas you have already developed. Not bad, but not my favorite either. The saving grace is the included photoshop brushes which I have already used quite a bit.
Compared to other Gnomon videos I've seen in the past, this one was very easy to understand and begin practicing. WHO KNEW THERE WERE BRUSH TWEAKS IN PHOTOSHOP! The fee for renting this was enough just for that tidbit alone, but there are many helpful things included. I didn't use any of his brushes since I would rather create my own but overall great lecture!
