My more boring tutorial about lines and paths: [link]

A list of helpful keyboard shortcuts: [link]

Tutorial for beginners about good ol' Photoshop. I use the CS version here. Oh, and I noticed I kept saying "I'll explain that part later" but I never do... sorry. Ask questions about those subjects I don't touch on if you wish!

2009 EDIT: So uh, I've noticed some people asking me about how to use layers and how to colour in subjects... I'd just type "coloring in Photoshop " into deviantART's search bar and you'll get a multitude of techniques. Everyone goes about using Photoshop to paint differently. Many people have their opinions and ways of going about it, so if you stumble across something that just confuses the hell out of you, either study it until you understand, or move on and discover your own way. But still feel free to ask questions to me, of course, ha ha.

Word of advice:

PHOTOSHOP
DOES NOT
BITE

Screw around with the program! Don't be a wuss! Just don't do anything to uninstall the program, and you'll be just fiiiiiine. You can always go back to the default settings.

2010 EDIT: I've noticed a lot of young aspiring artists have been favoriting this. If you need help with art, or want to look through other tutorials on a variety of subjects, go to this group:

Shading is tricky, I think it's best learned by drawing from real life, and from mentally letting go of assumptions about how things look. I've always been taught to "draw what you see, not what you know", and that helped tons.

A great book for these kinds of things is this one: [link] You can read the whole thing online here, though it may be slow to load. It's a lot of reading, rather than "how-to" drawings, but it's really good information. I hope that helps a bit. :)
