There are a number of tutorials here that I have compiled for the use of aspiring artists. These tutorials are by no means the only or best way to do things. They simply cover things I feel might be interesting to learn. For the most part, they focus on the methods I use to complete my own work.

If you want to learn something that is not listed here, don't be discouraged! You can try searching Google or DeviantArt for a tutorial if you can't find what you want here. Also try checking the websites of other artists since everyone has a different way of doing things and tutorials on their site might help you with whatever you can't find here.

If there is something about my artistic process that you would really like to see a tutorial on, feel free to e-mail me and suggest it.

Flash Inking Tutorial

This was part of my old Digital Painting tutorial. Since it's still up-to-date, I decided to preserve it in its own section rather than re-do it or remove it altogether. It covers how to ink an image in Flash and then export it to Photoshop.
