Scott's DVD shows several of his unique techniques for developing new design aesthetics and interesting compositions. These methods can help any artist think outside the box and solve design problems from a unique perspective. I'm struck by how effective these techniques are for generating pieces that would be unlikely or difficult to achieve any other way. I'm already incorporating what I've learned here into my design repertoire.

On this DVD Scott introduces you to the marker-sketch-collage techniques he employs when creating unique environment paintings within Adobe Photoshop®. The process starts by loosely sketching a variety of shapes with warm grey markers on vellum and mylar. After he completes and scans eight of these quick sketches, you can follow along as he overlays the sketches to create unique color palettes and compositions within Adobe Photoshop®. To complete the process, Scott then paints digitally on nine of the compositions. During the execution of the quick environment paintings Scott discusses lighting strategies, composition, atmospheric and linear perspective.
