“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 second DVD in this series,
Christian builds on the techniques he introduced in his first
DVD (Introduction to Digital Painting in Adobe Photoshop®).
He takes the viewer step-by-step through the creation of a
high-end digital painting, which can be used as either the
visual base for a digital matte painting, or for an advanced
conceptual art presentation. Christian starts with a photographic
plate and demonstrates how to create a complete high-concept
painting, including architecture, vehicles and characters.
He illustrates the shape approach and the concept of combinatory
play as creative processes. Christian introduces you to the
underlying thought process of high concept design, while giving
you a hands-on demonstration of the mechanics of painting in
Adobe Photoshop®.
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.
