Art Tutorials

[Spartan]

I thought I'd list some of my all time favorite art sites that have some great tutorials for beginners and expterts. If you see a good site that I have not posted please feel free to post it yourself.

These tuts are mostly for drawing and digital painting but also include some things on modeling and traditional artwork.

A tutorial index, it is quite good. I think there might be modeling tutorials here too. Cant remember but there are flash tutorials aswell.

there are thousands of sites like that, but at the end they jsut teach how to achieve a certain effect. When you want to create something you jsut need to know the tools and use your imagination, and there arent any tuts for that

Photoshop Cafe Has some fantastic tutorials for photoshop. But really the only place that I learn much more about photoshop now s from the people at photoshopuser.com. I get a subscription to their magazine now, and access to their site. It's about $100 to join I believe but this is pro stuff, and I can still glean niffty little bits of info from their tutorials.

For textures, DaveJ recently posted a run down on how he did his for the Cs map, Sienna:

im not sure i want to make a full thread about this, but i will if noone replys to this message so here goes

im a modeler who doesnt know how to make skins for his own models...
i have photoshop cs3 and i want to learn to make my own skins for them... anyone know a good tutorial to help out absolute begginers?

[RawMeat3000]

You know, Kenshi, that for anyone to recommend tutorials we need to know what modeling package you're using.

It's baffling, how often people do this. Just baffling.

[Hero_Kenshi]

oh sorry, just that i didnt think it was needed because well, i always export a uv map to skin...

ok
i use xsi 6.5 Advanced ^.^ just recently got the pro version ^^

Oh, so you already know how to unwrap your models, and now you want to learn how to texture them in Photoshop? If that's the case then my bad. I've never come across a free video of someone showing you step by step how to texture a model, but I'm sure that if you were willing to dish out $50 or so, you could buy one of Noesis' or Digital Tutors' videos on how to do it. Or just google "photoshop tutorials" and use the things you learn from those to help with your texturing.
