This video walks through two techniques for inserting shrubs masses in digital perspectives using Adobe Photoshop. The first process utilizes a photograph to collage plant material in the foreground of a first-person perspective. The second process utilizes a pattern overlay texture and layer mask to brush in shrub masses from an aerial view.

This video walks through a process for exporting only shadows from SketchUp models. This can be a valuable process when combined with analog sketching for perspective drawing.

This tutorial discusses using Select Color Range in Photoshop. The process walks through a process of selecting a specific tree color in a perspective and changing that color using Hue/Saturation. This can be a useful process when wanting to fine-tune colors in a rendering or when demonstrating the seasonal change in vegetation.
