It''d be interesting to have this kind of tutorials around here, grouped toghether, instead of scattered through different sites; but they ought to be real good in order to beat other them.
For example, anyone check out Polykarbon and tell me if he''s able to surpass the quality of the tutorials there. It features really good how-to-draw tutorials and teaches how to use some programs like photoshop to color in the comic kind of way.
I also think that in GDnet the tutorials should be better aimed at game development, such as skin painting, 3D modeling. Sure you know what I mean.
I think it''s interesting to have step by step program specific tutorials as much as general ones, that can be adapted by the reader to his particular needs, programs, etc.

Hey everyone nice to see that we have a new forum to post art in. They did a great job with this site the forums seem to load faster on my poky old 56k modem . Well here’s something for you art lovers and those of you who just like to look at art. I saw this movie in the previews when I went to see Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Good movie I must say, Angelina Jolie did a great job. The movie is Final Fantasy the links that I found are here.

When I saw the first image here I was blown away by the graphics, this first picture here is great I almost thought that was a real person until I cleaned my glasses and checked the rest of the pictures. Man, I didn’t know that software could create such realistic art. So what do you all think, think it’ll be a great movie? Just like Tomb Raider it's PG-13...

Seems these people that make movies are starting to come up with the idea of making movies off of top selling/classical games Super Mario Brothers, remember that one, and others now Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy. Have fun reading about the movies, checking the links out and watching the preview(s).

Oh the link to the tomb raider website is

I wouldn''t mind doing a Photoshop tricks article, or an anime style coloring tutorial (I guess I have decent skills.) What do people want, it''ll probably go on badcontent.net, but maybe I''ll just send it to gamedev (why not both? )

Here's some pretty recent stuff I have lying around:

On the subject of tutorials, Elfwood [elfwood.lysator.liu.se] has a pretty decent collection of them, on everything from color theory to perspective, to, yes, "how-to-draw"

And a few computer-coloring tutorials too.

And I disagree with the statement that you can''t learn to draw, ''cuz I did...

proves that for me =)

some of my other work can be seen at
