Known to his colleagues as the "nicest guy in comics" and to his fans as the #1 Star Wars Artist, Dave Dorman is finally spilling his coveted, never-before-revealed trade secrets in his new two-DVD series, "Illustration Techniques with Dave Dorman" through Hollywood's The Gnomon Workshop. Dorman, son of deceased Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jack N. Dorman, has earmarked a portion of the DVD sales for the children of active military who want to attend Hollywood's prestigious Gnomon School of Visual Effects (http://www.gnomon3d.com). "I remember how tight money was as a military kid when I was trying to get my art education," Dorman explained. "If I can help even one family out, then something very good has come from this project." The DVDs are available now at http://www.TheGnomonWorkshop.com, http://www.DaveDorman.com and in artist supply stores nationwide; Volume 1 (pencil illustration) is 120 minutes long and retails for $49.95; Volume 2 (traditional oil painting) is 140 minutes long and retails for $59.95.
