“I met Christian 10 years
ago, and I was impressed by his
work. Since then I followed his career and I witnessed
one of the
most amazingly quick paths to technical maturity.
Today, Christian is with no doubt one of the very best
illustrators in
the industry, as well as a very innovative designer. I
have become a true fan of his work.”

On the first DVD in this series,
Christian introduces the fundamental techniques he uses to
create digital concept paintings and matte paintings. In three
exercises based loosely on digital photographs, he introduces
the basic principals of digital painting in Adobe Photoshop®.
The first exercise demonstrates and illustrates three types
of perspectives. The second exercise introduces painting with
shape, showing different ways to create selections. In the
last exercise, Christian demonstrates perspective and shape
techniques, showing how to import light layers, and create
separate foreground, midground and background elements. The
DVD includes the photographic plates and additional bonus exercises.
Over 2 hours of lecture.

Christian Lorenz Scheurer’s life is as detailed
as his matte paintings and concept art. Born in Switzerland
to a zoologist father and an artist mother, Christian
studied math and science before
moving to the art academy in Brussels, Belgium. He worked
on several films, won the Philip Morris Award for his
graphic novels, got struck
by lightning and moved to Hollywood. As a concept artist,
Christian worked on The Fifth Element at Digital Domain before
contributing to numerous commercials, theme parks and
feature films, including Titanic, Dark
City, What Dreams May Come and The Matrix. Moving
to Hawaii, Christian joined Square One to work on Final Fantasy:
The Spirits Within. He also contributed to the game Final Fantasy
IX, and produced concept and matte art for The Animatrix.
Currently in Los Angeles, Christian was the production
designer for the short film Labratz, and art directed the video
game Lord
of the Rings: The Return of the King for Electronic Arts.
