Does anyone know of some basic computer...gaphic...art...online tutorials? I don't think I'm being very clear, but maye all your "What the crap? Do you mean..." will help me define my question. I have discovered Dillion's tutorials on howtodrawmanga.com, and while I am currently putting in to practice the basic drawing part, have only been able to read the part on using photoshop and paintshop (I don't even have paintshop :/) Anyway, does anyone know of any other lessons or tutorials that i can get a hold of? Thanks!

I had a link somewhere for a really good tutorial on pixel art which I came across some time ago, but I can't remember what I did with it. If I find it, I'll post it here for you! ^_^

Is this what you had in mind, SageRock?

Would you like techniques like that, or would you prefer something like "how can I make a really cool button in PS" or, "how can I use filters to do such-and-such"?

Well, all would be nice ], but the most prominent would be cell style, then filters, than buttons and that. I would love to learn all this stuff, so really any little bits of supreme wisdom and mighty knowledge you feel the urge to pass on would be appreciated. Thanks!

http://www.daydreamgraphics.com has some awesome tutorials, on everything from layouts to banners to PHP. Definately a must-check out. :thumbs:

Also, if it's an option, have you considered going down to the local library and checking out a book on Photoshop? Something like "Photoshop 6 in the classroom" and other titles like it are really excellent; it's what I used in my digital graphics class.

I really recomende http://www.good-tutorials.com/ they have 1702 listings of tutorials I have links to several hundred tut sites my self right now but it would take me forever to get them up here

I'm pretty good with computer graphics, so here goes:
First, forget Window's paint program. It really stinks. If you want to learn the basic-basic stuff, use it. I used to draw with it alot, and I'm sure there are a bunch of very talented artist using it. However, there are better programs, like Adobe Photoshop or PaintShop Pro. There are older versions that should cost very little or be free for download.
You can also use 3-d programs for 2-d art. Some professional style programs, like Truespace 3.2, are free for download or can be bought for very little. I use Truespace all the time, so pretty soon I'll make some tutorials for everybody and post em' here.
For some of the best tutorials, check out
http://www.3dlinks.com They had tons of links last time I checked.
I'm planning to make some art mxing 3-d art, 2-d art and some digital video. Have fun!

Well, thank you all...Melody, Ashely, White, and T.J.R.. Everything posted will be an enormous push in a right direction! (Now I just need to get my parents to extend my internet time so I can get it all!)

Thanks,
Sage

If anyone else has any links or such, i'd still love to take a gander at them!
