Digital Tutorials/Resources

Sites I recommend and use that have been helpful for me in the battlefield:


PoseManiacs (http://www.posemaniacs.com/)
One of the single most helpful sites in drawing a figure when you have no model present. The images are Flash based and with each pose you can view from every direction.


I Draw Girls (http://idrawgirls.blogspot.com/)
A professional artist blog that shows you tips in digital/traditional drawing and coloring. He's actually a pretty awesome guy.

Cool illustrator/cartoonist blog that has all kinds of articles, helpful tips, application suggestions, art nerd gossip.

Photoshop Road Map (http://www.photoshoproadmap.com/)

Illustrator Blog from Adobe
(http://blogs.adobe.com/infiniteresolution/)Nothing like getting tips from the horses' mouth.


VectorTuts (http://vector.tutsplus.com/)

Just in case anyone has it for their system or would like to try it out I propose we add:

GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/)

There is a good list of tutorials for using the program at this location here. (http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/) The tutorials are available for beginner, intermediate, expert, Web, script authoring and photo editing.

GIMP is a open-source program standing for GNU Image Manipulation Program. While originally designed for Linux systems, it is available for download for both Windows and Macs.

I use this at home as a Photoshop alternative.

...and for those of you with mommies and daddies (controlling spouses) who are adamantly against downloading things to your desktop I present you with SUMO Paint. (http://www.sumopaint.com/web/)

It's a handy dandy browser based "painting studio" where you can do nearly any range of art project online.

Here is another fun online program. Not as indepth as SUMO but it is fun.

ArtPad (http://artpad.art.com/gallery/)
