I am looking to buy some digital painting dvs, but the ones at gnomon workshop seem to be not what im looking for, any other sites sell training dvds specifically what I am looking for is digital painting techniques in photoshop (landscapes, character painting with environments) Mainly the character/environment types. Thanks, would be cool to get a response asap.

Also has anyone bought the dylan cole landscape painting/cityscape painting and like it? Does it show ACTUAL digital painting or is it more based on importing pictures (I hate doing that)

You should take a look at the galleries that are next to the DVDīs description (at the right side of the screen). They have some screenshots of the DVD ("in process").
For landscape you should probably look in the Analog DVDīs:
- Characters/Creatures
- Enviroments
- Matte Painting
The matte painting DVDīs are supposed to help with matte painting (and that includes integrating photos).
I have never seen the Gnomon DVDīs so I canīt say anything about their quality but the painting DVDīs are not for beginers IIRC so you should know how to use PS and some basics about painting.
Itīs more about the DVD creatorīs techniques and theories IIRC.
Edit: The DVD show actual painting. That are professionals who canīt survuve just by manipulating photos and they have a background in art/design so they should know what they are doing. So the DVDīs should be more than just cheap PS tricks and PS filter-abuse.

I have the Ryan Church DVD on painting matte finished vehicles and I think it is quite nice. ALOT can be learned just from watching someone work...and talk about it as they work. I don't know about the other Gnomon DVDs but I was planning on picking up one of the enviroment art ones in the near future, so I'll let ya know.
