I was writing an article for projecteducate, and I realized that instead of linking to a bunch of tutorials, I should just link to a journal with a bunch of tutorials :dummy:.

So here is a collection of my favourite tutorials that have all helped me immensely:

All categorized for your convenience in this order:

:love: General painting: Speedpainting, Environments, Colouring.
:love: Blending
:love: Materials
:love: Step by Step Painting Processes
:love: Human Anatomy
:love: Human Portraits
:love: Human Stuff
:love: Dragon Anatomy
:love: Dragon Stuff
:love: Photoshop Tips and Tricks
:love: CSS and Customization
