Beginner

This person describes the whole process he did to make a fantasy landscape.  He blocked out the shapes for his idea, and then added some elements like a picture of a hiker, some landscapes, and textures them, and then lights, and adjusted his camera.    He then goes over all the steps he did in photoshop which were straight forward.  I'm sure you could use gimp or something like that also.  Overall a very nice tutorial.  The addition of photoshop really makes the image much nicer.

Reference

When you start a project, always get reference first.  This will guide you through the process.  You can go back to an  image and ask yourself how do I make that, or I like this style, or that looks a certain way.  Without reference your guessing.  Don't. Real world video, real world items are used as reference to go beyond and make imaginary seem  Real.  How does granite or marble look like in real life?  How does a fruit look? Use google images, or bing, or youtube.  Some images can inspire also.
