Yea and I forgot to mention he makes videos every Tuesday and Thursday! Tomorrow he'll be talking about line weight and on Thursday there will be a video about observing color. He also has a store with longer videos that go more in depth about digital painting for $10 each. I haven't bought any of them yet but I feel like I've learned a lot from his free videos so I think they may be worth the money if anyone is interested.

It's nice that he's doing more of them though! ;D

Two awesome blogs I thought I might share: This first one is a great resource. It's got a ton of tutorials on a wide variety of subjects. There are a number of contributing artists to the blog, so the tutorials cover all sorts of different styles as well. Just lots of great tidbits to glean. theartcenter.blogspot.com/The second one is its sister blog, and is all about character design. They aren't tutorials per se, but they're interviews with all sorts of character designers working in the animation/game/etc industries. characterdesign.blogspot.com/

Hnn, it's been half a week, I don't think this double-post is so bad...
'Twas posted on the tumblr of Tracy Butler (of the Lackadaisy webcomic). It's this little half-hour documentary of famous caricaturist John Kascht and how he works. It's a really neat insight into how he interprets what he sees. I recommend everyone take a look, even if you aren't interested in caricaturing, because it's great information for character deisgn. And, if nothing else, it's also a neat insight into talk show host Conan O'Brien. :B

A guide posted by the artist of one of the webcomics I follow. It's about basic character design, primarily for cartoon characters, though I'm sure some of the concepts can carry over into more realistic styles. leylinescomic.com/archive/character-design/

Okay, I did a quick scan of the thread and found no Pixelovely. Time to fix that! artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/I strongly recommend using Class Mode. It starts off with ten 30-second gesture drawings, then moves you up to longer and more detailed poses. :3 Basically how my figure drawing classes go. They also have other tools focused on animals, hands, and expressions. Give it a shot! Warning: it can use nude models, though you can filter those out.

Oh, I'm going to have to check these out. I'm envious of some the artistic talent here.

This one's less of a tutorial (not quite a rant), but I thought it was pretty interesting, so I'll share it anyways >_> "A Talk About Drawing Styles"

If anyone is interested in figure drawing practice, I recently discovered a good site for drills and studies: reference.sketchdaily.net/en/It gives you a bunch of options for male, female, or both; clothed or nude; full body or specific body parts; and also animal references. You can also choose how long each drill goes for, from 30 seconds to ten minutes (although you can also pause it if you'd like to go longer). I've been trying to do a couple of these drills each day, and so far I've found some good use with this site. So, I recommend it if you're looking to get in some more figure study practice, whether it just be a little or a lot :3 ALSO! In adding this resource to the beginning master list, I noticed that it's been aaaages since it got updated, so I went ahead and took care of that x3 Got rid of a bunch of dead links, reorganized everything, and now hopefully this thread should be much more accessible. And do feel free at any time to bring in new suggestions for art tutorials or resources you found, the list could always use more :3

Got a recommendation from @natthewriter for a site that offers a multitude of resources, including brush packs for various programs, 2D and 3D assets, and tutorials! It's added onto the list and also right here: cubebrush.co/Some items are free while others have a range in prices, and you'll need to make an account to claim anything, but accounts are free to make and don't ask for any personal info outside of email address :3

Found out about a neat color palette tool, better than ones I've heard of before as this one allows you more control in the colors and types of palettes you want.
It's Adobe, but it's a free tool you can use without making an account or anything. You can choose the type of palette you want like monochromatic, complementary, etc., and it makes one for you, but you can then edit it from there to better fit what you want. There's also some accessibility tools that checks the readability contrast of colors as well as how color blind-friendly a palette may be.
I'm still exploring it myself as I just learned of it today, but I thought I'd share as it's the most useful free palette generator I've found so far!

I just came across a huge spreadsheet that compiles online resources, tutorials, and testimonies for all kinds of art mediums and professions, put together by artist Marie Lum. I'm still perusing it myself, but already there's a ton of info, and it's supposed to be an ever-growing list of resources for most anything visual arts-related. I linked to it at the top of this thread's original post, for anyone curious :3
