* I compiled this list as a suggested sequence for people who like to do things in a linear fashion. You know who you are. You are the people who know that you are not supposed to use your monitor in the rain because you read the Safety Instructions before you hooked it up.
The tutorials should stand pretty well on their own, actually, so if something "out of sequence" appeals to you, go ahead and do it! If something does NOT appeal to you, though, rather than just skipping it, go and look at the objectives at the beginning of the tutorial and see if there is something there that you really need to know/practice. You might find that the tutorial is cooler than you thought from glancing at the title.
I separated the drawing tutorials from the photo manipulation ones because some people are more interested in one area than in the other. I urge you to try your hand at both though. I will not hear any of that "But I can't drawwwwwww!" sort of stuff. That is what these tutorials are for -- to help you LEARN these skills.
Learning to draw takes nothing more, nothing less, than a combination of the following:
- Careful observation.
- Perseverance.
- Courage.
None of these comes "naturally"; all are skills that we can develop. So begin your journey, and may your learning curve be smooth!
Always me,
