i bought myself an interacitve cd tutorial in German language, so i dont know if its as good as this, but u can give it a try. I like Tutorial cd that i have very much because its realy easy to learn photoshop with it.

some kewl new pencils.

I think phong.com has some. At least it did. He's very skilled. It also contains some cool Flash stuff :)
