Listing Of Useful Tutorial Links:
Not everyone needs nor can afford a tutor. For that reason I've set up this listing of a few useful Photoshop/computer art related links to help Students out. Remember, no one tutorial is going to instantly make you a better artist. The only real way to get better is putting in the time behind the table or computer. If the thought of spending 10-18 hours a day behind the art table/computer makes you cringe, then your in the wrong business. Seriously!

I will be updating this list though out the year:

If you don't already have a Deviant Art account, I suggest you take 30 seconds and set one up, since it's free and fairly simple to do and you may need it to download the files or tutorials that links point to:
