Drawing and painting tutorials from outside sources

So WorkOfArt made a nifty compilation of tutorials created by basilmarket users that can be seen here http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2278110

I decided to organize a bunch of tutorials and walk-throughs created by non-basil users that I thought would help artists of all levels. I do not take credit for any of these.

Feel free to ask for specific tutorials and whatnot. :] If this thread doesn't die, I'll update it with new sources fairly frequently.

[quote=WorkOfArt]Hmm would it be easier if we all combined everything into one thread? I love tutorial making but now I'm focusing on learning on my own and making a tutorial every time would take 3x longer.

I should try to record the next thing I draw. Oh but I hate recording so much because I use many references for color themes, poses, hand positions, etc., and I'm continuously switching in and out of those references, so I have to pause the video over and over. Well I'm using references less now but still.[/quote]

Haha if you want to. It seems like you're really busy though. I'm always on tumblr and I follow a lot of artists so a plentiful amount of tutorials head my way on a daily basis, I just thought it would be more convenient if I dropped them off here instead of asking you to re-post on the front page XD

I don't make a lot of tutorials because I feel like somewhere out there a more skilled person has created a better one on the same topic. Still, I think it's really cool that you enjoy tutorial making so much. o-o

As far as recording goes, you could always screen shot multiple steps of your process to create a walk through.
