This will be the last of those threads. If you let this die, there will be no second coming. Seriously, I mean it.

I checked every link and removed all the inactive ones. Also, to keep this an actual collection of more than a single resource, I added new links that I could gather.
If anyone has saved tutorials from the old guys, re-upload and post them, please.

Salute to you, Slunko



Tips on how to get shit done

Inspiration is for amateurs - the rest of us just show up and get to work.
You learn to draw by drawing.
People that are better than you are just better than you because they’ve had more practice.
Draw VERBS, not nouns.
If you’re not sure what good values look like, look at screen stills from B/W movies, like Citizen Kane.
50 bad illustrations might yield one good one.
Sometimes you got to draw it 6 or 7 times.
Use sharp edges for only important things, practice hierarchy and contrast. Have a focal point.
If you are going to give someone a jewel, do not surround it with shiny things.
Saturate your eyes and brain with work that is better than what you can do. Then put it all away and start working.
Progress, not perfection.
Schedule time to utterly fail.
Take reference, it is easier that way. Do not make stuff up if you do not have to. If it doesn’t exist, figure out how to take a picture of it anyway. Use cardboard, clay, macaroni… does not matter.
Doubt can only be removed by action.
Use the best materials you can possibly afford. You’re already fighting a battle. Do not fight the materials. Find pencils/brushes/paper that feel good.
Does it work in greyscale? Does it work at postage-stamp size? Does it work reversed? Upside down?
Do what you love, other people will love it too.

My mini class series I ran on jsp in 2011. Might be worth a look for some people, but... Keep in mind this was 9 years ago almost, a lot of links are broken and I don't necessarily stand by all my comments from that time

Smudge Week, mostly intact, I think definitely worth a look if you want to smudge

Nice, thanks! Throws me over that most of the image hosts used back then have gone off the grid.
